I-Brotherhood of Freemasons iyinhlangano enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni okuyizinkundla zokulungisa abangase bangenele ukhetho lwangaphakathi. ukuphila. Bangamadoda athathwe kuzo zonke izigaba nezinhlanga ngezikabani uhlamvu futhi intelligence I-Master Mason inesinye isikhathi kuqinisekisiwe. I-Masonry ingeye Ubuntu, umuntu ozaziyo kuwo wonke umzimba womuntu, hhayi owanoma yiluphi uhlanga olukhethekile, inkolo noma iqembu.

UHlelo lwalukhona ngaphansi kwegama elilodwa noma elinye njengendikimba ehlangene, ehleleke kahle kudala ngaphambi kokwakhiwa kwephiramidi endala kakhulu. Indala kunanoma iyiphi inkolo eyaziwa namuhla. Kuyinto engavamile phakathi kwezinhlangano emhlabeni. Le nhlangano kanye nohlelo lwezimfundiso zayo, ngamathuluzi, izimpawu zendawo, izimpawu kanye izimpawu, bezilokhu zifana kakhulu. Ibuyela emuva enkathini lapho imizimba yaba owesilisa noma owesifazane. Ithempeli belilokhu liwuphawu lomzimba womuntu owakhiwe kabusha. Amanye amathempeli ezinganekwane zama-masonic, indawo yawo manje isithathwe ekaSolomoni, ayeyiziyingi, ama-oval, izikwele nama-oblong amatshe. Ngezinye izikhathi amatshe ayexhunywa phezulu ngamatshe amatshe, kamuva axhunywe izingcezu ezimbili zamatshe ezingqubuzane ngonxantathu. ifomu, bese kuba ngamakhothamo angama-semicircular. Ngezinye izikhathi amathempeli ayebiyelwe ngezindonga; lawa mathempeli ayevuliwe phezulu, kanye nendawo engaphansi ye izulu kwaba uphahla. Ngakho kwakhiwa amathempeli angokomfanekiso okukhonzela uJehova, kwaze kwaba owokugcina lowo mfanekiso osesikweni lamaMasonic ubizwa ngokuthi iThempeli likaSolomoni.

Ubuhlakani endaweni yomhlaba angemuva kweMasonry, nakuba amaloji engakwazi lokhu esikhathini samanje. I umoya egijima ngohlelo lwezimfundiso ze-masonic ixhuma lezi Ubuhlakani nawo wonke amaMasoni, kusukela kwabakhulu kuye kwabancane, abenzayo.

The Injongo of Masonry ukuqeqesha a umuntu ukuze akhe kabusha, ngomzimba woshintsho futhi ukufa anakho manje, a umzimba ophelele ngokomzimba elingayikuthotshelwa ukufa. The plan uwukwakha lomzimba ongafi, obizwa ngokuthi iThempeli LikaSolomoni laMasoni lanamuhla, ngempahla esemzimbeni wenyama, obizwa ngokuthi amanxiwa eThempeli likaSolomoni. I plan kungukwakha ithempeli elingenziwanga ngezandla, eliphakade kulo amazulu, okuyigama elifihlekile lesambatho esingafi. AmaMasoni athi ekwakhiweni kweThempeli likaSolomoni akuzwakalanga kukhala imbazo, isando noma ithuluzi lensimbi; futhi ngeke kuzwakale umsindo ekwakhiweni kabusha kwethempeli. Umthandazo weMasonic uthi: “Futhi njengoba isono sibhidlizile ithempeli lokuqala lobumsulwa nobumsulwa phakathi kwethu, sengathi umusa siqondise futhi usisize ekwakheni kabusha ithempeli lesibili lenguquko, futhi kwangathi inkazimulo yalendlu yokugcina ingaba nkulu kunenkazimulo yokuqala.”

Azikho izimfundiso ezingcono nezithuthukile ezitholakalayo abantu, kunezakwaMasonry. I izimpawu asetshenziswa kuCraft ngokuyinhloko angamathuluzi omakhi kanye nezinsimbi zomakhi. I izimpawu ziye zafana kakhulu kusukela ezikhathini zakudala; nakuba isimo nokuhumusha kwazo kushintshile, futhi nakuba amasiko nezinkulumo eziphathelene nazo kwashintsha nenkolo yomjikelezo wenkathi. Izimfundiso zazo zonke izinkolo zenziwe ngendlela yokuthi zingasetshenziswa ezimfundisweni zama-masonic. EMasonry yanamuhla esentshonalanga, okungukuthi, lokho amaMasons akubiza ngokuthi i-Ancient Masonry, iMasonry inikezwa amafomu yenkolo yesiHeberu, enezengezo ezithile ezivela eTestamenteni Elisha. Izimfundiso akuzona isiHebheru. Kodwa i-Masonry isebenzisa izingxenye zamasiko amaHeberu ukuze igqoke futhi iveze izimfundiso zayo, ngoba amasiko amaHeberu ajwayelekile futhi ayamukeleka njengezingxenye zeBhayibheli. Izimfundiso zama-masonic zingase zethulwe ngezingubo zaseGibhithe noma zangaphambi kweGibhithe, uma abantu babezazi. Amasiko amaHeberu anemibala futhi ayahlaba umxhwele. Ngaphandle kwalokho, umzimba wenyama okufanele kuqhubeke kuwo ukwakhiwa kabusha igama elihlukene likaJah-veh noma elithi Jah-hovah. Nokho amasiko ngezinye izikhathi abunjwa kalula ukuze abe isibonelo sobuKristu, ngokwenza uKristu abe yiNkosi Ephakeme Kakhulu, kanye noMklami Omkhulu Womhlaba Wonke angahunyushwa ngokuthi umKristu. uNkulunkulu. Kodwa iMasonry ayiwona umKristu njengoba nje ingeyamaJuda. Ukuhumusha kwesikhashana ngokweminyaka nendawo kanye nenkolo kubukwa yiqembu elijwayelekile lamaMasons njengokuphelele nanjengeqiniso.

Ngokuvamile i-symbogy ifihliwe imihlobiso, izengezo, izinguquko kanye nokushiywa. Kwesinye isikhathi ama-oda aphelele aqalwa ngalezi zindlela futhi agxile esicini esithile sezenkolo, esifana nempi, noma sezenhlalo. Ziphinde zinyamalale, kuyilapho izimpawu nezimfundiso eziyingxenye yazo, zihlala.

The izimiso of Masonry amelwe ngamadigri amathathu okuqala, lawo e-Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, kanye ne-Master Mason, kanye nasekuthuthukisweni kwalawo madigri e-Holy Royal Arch. I izimiso kukhona okuyisisekelo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kutholakala emikhosini yase-York, i-Scottish rite, noma kunoma yimuphi omunye umkhuba wama-masonic. Eminye imicikilisho ineziqu ezingezona ezendawo, ezomuntu siqu, ezomphakathi kanye nezimemayo. Kunemicikilisho eminingi eseceleni, izingqinamba eziseceleni, amadigri aseceleni, okulethe abefundisi abanesiphiwo, kodwa izimiso of Masonry bambalwa futhi bayasinda iminyaka nezitayela zabo.

I-Masonry isiqu noma ukuxhumana ngokomzimba lapho ama-oda ahlukene akhiwa khona isikhathi kuya isikhathi. I-Rosicrucianism ngeNkathi Ephakathi kanye nokunye ukunyakaza kwakamuva kwaba amahlumela akhishwa ngamalungu e-Masonic Order, ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nesidingo sezikhathi ngaphandle kokubamba i-Masonry ngokwayo.

Eziningi ze- amafomu we-masonic umsebenzi ezibonakala ziwubala futhi ziyizingane zivalelwe amaqiniso amakhulu. Amaqiniso kufanele avezwe kwabanye Uphawu noma ngabanye umsebenzi, ngoba abantu kudingeka amafomu lapho ukubona amaqiniso. Babiza amaqiniso ngama-platitudes, kodwa abakwazi ukuwabona. Lapho amaqiniso efakwa amafomu okuyizingxenye zomzimba ukuphila, ukusetshenziswa okufanelekile nokumangalisayo kwamaqiniso anjalo kuzihlaba umxhwele kulabo ababonayo nabazwayo esetshenziswa futhi abanesithakazelo sabo.

Kuyenzeka ukuhlela, futhi iMasonry iyahlela, imininingwane emayelana namaqiniso ayisisekelo mayelana nomuntu ozaziyo kanye nempilo yakhe. maqondana kuya nature ngendlela ehlelekile, nakuba elula amafomu. Ngokuphindaphinda njalo lezi amafomu isicelo sabo ku ukuphila ngokuvamile kuba sobala. Amagama asetshenziswe mayelana nalezi amafomu abe ulimi oluyimfihlo noma ngabe amafomu be izimpawu, ubucwebe, amathuluzi, amabheji, izimpawu, amadigri, izinyathelo, izimpawu, ukubamba, amagama, imikhosi, amaphuzu, imigqa, ama-engeli, indawo, noma izindaba ezilula. Ulimi oluvamile luyisibopho sobuzalwane, futhi ulimi oluyimfihlo olunganikezwa ngokuzalwa, njengolimi lwezwe lomuntu, kodwa ngokukhetha okujwayelekile kanye nenkonzo, kungenye yezibopho eziqine kakhulu ezibamba amadoda ndawonye. Futhi ngokudlula kulezi amafomu ngokuphindaphindiwe aqoshwe ngu ukubona futhi umsindo phezu ifomu lokuphefumula futhi imbangela ukucabanga nje emigqeni eqoshiwe. Kamuva ukucabanga okusebenzayo imiphumela emigqeni efanayo, futhi iza nayo Ukukhanya okubonwa ngalo iqiniso elithile elifihlwe efomini. Ngemva ukufa imigqa, eyenziwe ku ifomu lokuphefumula by masonic ngicabanga kanye ne-masonic imicabango, dlala indima ebalulekile ekubumbeni phetho. Kolandelayo ukuphila emhlabeni i-Mason ingena ngaphansi kwethonya lama-masonic, nakuba izalwa ngaphansi kwayo futhi ifunwa yi- umoya wohlanga noma owenkolo.

The amafomu we-masonic umsebenzi zenzelwe ukuqhubekisela phambili isiyalo soku imizwa futhi izifiso futhi ezintathu izingqondo. The izifiso ziyalwa by ngicabanga obabekela imingcele, nalaba abathathu izingqondo ngokwabo bayalwa by ngicabanga Ngokusho kwe amafomu. Izifundo ezimbalwa kuphela ezethulwa kuma-masonic amaningi amafomu. Lezi zihloko zivela futhi futhi ziphoqelele ukunaka kweMason. I amafomu emva kwesikhashana babe nesiphakamiso sezifundo abazimelelayo futhi bahlanganyele emisebenzini yengqondo. Isiyalo siphumela ekusebenziseni okuvamile komsebenzi wengqondo ezicini zangaphakathi ukuphila okuyinto amafomu zenzelwe ukufanekisa.

The amafomu gcina izimfundiso eziyimfihlo futhi kuleso sici zinenani elingenakulinganiswa. I amafomu ziyizimpawu zezwe zasendulo zoMyalelo, eziphathiswe ukunakekela kwamaMasons okufanele azigcine ngokucophelela futhi angalokothi ahlupheke ngokwephulwa.

Zinjalo ezinye ze izinhloso okwenziwa wumdlalo wama-masonic. Yize lokho okubonayo nabakuzwayo nabakushoyo nabakwenzayo kune-esoteric ejulile okusho, azithinteki kulokho, kodwa zijabulela umdlalo, izinkulumo kanye nezici zomphakathi. AmaMasons awavamisile, uma kwenzeka, abone ukubaluleka koHlelo lwawo kanye nolwalo izinhloso. Lapho bebona ingaphakathi izincazelo yabo umsebenzi futhi baqale ukuphila ngokwezimfundiso zabo, bayoba amadoda angcono, babe nobubanzi nokujula ukuqonda of ukuphila, futhi wenze i-Order of Freemasons amandla okuphila okuhle emhlabeni.
