Ukwakha ibhuloho elisuka kuBhowazi liya eJakini. Izinyathelo ezintathu, ezinhlanu nesikhombisa. Igumbi Eliphakathi. Incazelo yezinyathelo. Umholo kanye namatshe ayigugu. Incazelo yohlamvu G. Iphuzu nesiyingi. Iziqu ezine nezintathu. Amaphuzu ayishumi nambili endingilizini. Izimpawu Zodiacal. Ukuvezwa kwamaqiniso wendawo yonke. Ijiyomethri. Okuzuzwe yi-Fellow Craft. Umcabango. UMfundisi Mason. Ukulungiselela. Ukwamukela. Ukuvezwa ekukhanyeni. Iphasi, ukubamba, iphinifa kanye namathuluzi e-Master Mason.

Iziqu zesibili, ezeFellow Craft, akusona isiqalo sohlelo Umcabango, kodwa wukudlula kokwazi Umenzi kusukela ebumnyameni futhi ukungazi of umuzwa-and-isifiso kuya ukukhanya of Ukulunga-and-Isizathu. Wamukelwa kuleli banga ekhoneni lesikwele, eliwumfanekiso we Iqiniso ukuthi wenze eyakhe umuzwa-and-isifiso kwesokudla futhi isikwele, ku kwesokudla ama-engeli nomunye nomunye, ukuthi uye wabahlanganisa, nokuthi bazosetshenziswa kanjalo kuzo zonke izenzo zakhe. Ucela okwengeziwe ukukhanya futhi uboniswa ukuthi unyathela kanjani lapho Ukukhanya. Uthola okwengeziwe Ukukhanya. Ekulethweni Ukukhanya kuleli banga, ubona iphuzu elilodwa lekhampasi ngaphezu kwesikwele, eliwuphawu lwe Iqiniso ukuthi uyakwamukela Ukukhanya ngokusebenzisa Ukulunga wakhe Umcabango nokuthi uzoqondiswa ezenzweni zakhe kusukela kulelo phuzu, lokho Ukukhanya. Uthola ipasi, ukubamba kanye nezwi likaFellow Craft. Iphasi lifanekisela ukudluliswa noma ukudlula ukusuka kweyokuqala kuya kweyesibili. I-grip imele amandla we Ukulunga phezu umuzwa-and-isifiso. Igama namanje akulona iZwi, kodwa liyizinhlamvu ezimbili kuphela, okungukuthi u-A ono-U noma u-O.

Unikezwa amathuluzi okusebenza e-Fellow Craft okuyi-plumb, isikwele kanye nezinga. I-plumb imelela ubuqotho phakathi ngicabanga, izinga lokulingana ku ngicabanga, kanye nesikwele sokuhlangana komthofu wokuqondisa kanye nezinga. Lokhu kusho ukuthi izimpawu ebeziyimigqa kuphela kuziqu ze-Apprentice manje seziqu ze-Fellow Craft seziphenduke amathuluzi; ama-perpendiculars nama-horizontals, okwakuyimigqa, asephenduke umthombo wokumisa kanye nezinga, futhi ama-engeli angakwesokudla abe isikwele. Desire futhi umuzwa manje sezilungile futhi zisezingeni, zimunye, okungukuthi, ziyavumelana futhi zilungile maqondana komunye nomunye, futhi benze kusukela endaweni yokuhlangana kwabo okukhona Ukulunga. I-engeli yesikwele imele iphuzu lokuhlangana. Isikwele sisetshenziswa ku ngicabanga, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngomthofu wokulinganisa noma ezingeni, kukho konke okuphathelene nomhlaba, okungukuthi, umzimba wenyama wakho noma womunye.

Uboniswa izinsika ezimbili zethusi, okuthiwa zazisemnyango weThempeli likaSolomoni. UBhowazi, ikholomu yesokunxele, ifanekisela ukuzwelana noma nature ikholomu, ezoba phambi komzimba, noJachin, the kwesokudla eyodwa, yikholomu yomgogodla, ikholomu ye I-Triune Self. Lapho Umenzi ingxenye ye I-Triune Self okokuqala kwangena emzimbeni wawo, okungukuthi, ithempeli lawo, umzimba wawungeyena owesilisa nowesifazane, futhi izinsika ezimbili zazikhona futhi zisebenza zinamandla ahlangene. Ngemva kokubhujiswa kwethempeli lawo, ithempeli Umenzi esebenza emzimbeni okwakungowesilisa noma owesifazane futhi unoJakini kuphela, ikholomu yesilisa, futhi enamandla kuphela owesilisa noma owesifazana. UBhowazi akekho, ngaphandle kokuthi kungenzeka. I-Fellow Craft ikhunjuzwa ngokubona amakholomu amabili okumele akhe kabusha uBhowazi. Amatshe uMfundi awalungise ngomthetho wakhe futhi azophinde alungiswe yi-Fellow Craft for Master Mason ngaphambi kokuthi uBhowazi amiswe kabusha. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi izihloko zazo zombili izinsika zibonisa inethiwekhi, umsebenzi womnduze namahalananda agcwele imbewu. Inethiwekhi yileyo yezinzwa ezixhumene ezakhiwe ngokuhlanzeka okugcina imbewu, futhi akha ibhuloho elisuka kuBowazi liya eJakini.

I-Fellow Craft ibona izitebhisi ezintathu, ezinhlanu neziyisikhombisa njengezitezi ezimazombezombe eziholela eGumbini Eliphakathi Lethempeli likaSolomoni. Izinyathelo ezinhlanu zingokomfanekiso umsebenzi kuziqu ze-Fellow Craft, kuyilapho izinyathelo ezintathu zihlobene neziqu ze-Apprentice adlule kuzo kanye neziqu umsebenzi aqhubeka ngayo.

Izinyathelo ezintathu, ezinhlanu nesikhombisa noma izitezi ziyizikhungo noma izitho ezithile emzimbeni. Umzimba uwonke uyiThempeli leNkosi uSolomoni (noma amanxiwa awo okuzokwakhiwa kabusha ngawo ithempeli). Indawo yokungena noma isinyathelo sokuqala i-prostate, isinyathelo sesibili simelela izinso, esesithathu i-adrenals, esesine inhliziyo, eyesihlanu amaphaphu, eyesithupha umzimba we-pituitary kanye nesikhombisa umzimba we-pineal. Lezi zinyathelo zithathwa ngokusetshenziswa kwe- izingqondo of Ukulunga kanye of Isizathu. The umqondo womzimba isetshenziswa uMfundi ukulawula umzimba, i umuzwa-ingqondo ukulawula umuzwa futhi isifiso-ingqondo ukulawula isifiso. Ngokulawula umuzwa uyalawula imizwa, nangokulawula isifiso, uyalawula izifiso. Ikhandidethi ihlale ingu- Umenzi ingxenye ye I-Triune Self, kulo lonke umsebenzi kweziqu ezintathu. Ukuthatha kwakhe izinyathelo ezinhlanu ze-Fellow Craft kusho ikhono lokufinyelela izingqondo esetshenziswa futhi Ukulunga futhi Isizathu we Umcabango wakhe I-Triune Self. Ukuthatha kwakhe izinyathelo eziyisikhombisa kufanekisela ukufinyelela kwakhe izingqondo ezisetshenziswa futhi Mina futhi ukuzithanda.

Iphinifa elimhlophe noma umzimba ohlanzekile, okuyibheji leMason, umthetho wokuthi kwesokudla kanye ne-gavel ye isifiso yizinyathelo ezintathu; ngabo uMfundi ulungisa amatshe okwakha. Ezinhlanu ziyafana ezintathu kanye nezimbili, ithophu yokuqondisa kanye nezinga, kwengezwe. Lapho ubuqotho ku ngicabanga ihlangene nokulingana ku ngicabanga, umthofu wokumisa kanye nezinga ifomu isikwele, iphoyinti lokuhlangana liku- Ukulunga. Ngalezi ezinhlanu i-Fellow Craft ilungisa futhi ilingane namatshe okwakha. Amatshe okwakha yiwo amayunithi of nature. Abayisikhombisa a Uphawu kwabayisikhombisa izingqondo kanye namandla ayisikhombisa izingqondo ukuthuthukisa okubizwa nge-Fellow Craft. I-Speculative Masonry ibeka lezi zici eziyisikhombisa ngamagama obuciko obukhululekile nesayensi, anikezwa njengohlelo lolimi, inkulumo-ze, ingqondo, i-arithmetic, i-geometry, umculo kanye nesayensi yezinkanyezi. AbaThathu, abaNhlanu kanye lesikhombisa abakhulu, lanxa kukhulunywa ngakho lapha, kabangeniswa emkhubeni, ngaphandle kokuthi abathathu, abahlanu kanye lesikhombisa balethwa embusweni. maqondana ngokuthuthukiswa kwe Umenzi of umuzwa-and-isifiso ukusebenzisa yayo izingqondo.

Ukwenyuka kuvulandi, ngezitebhisi ezimazombezombe, ezihlanganisa izitebhisi ezintathu, ezinhlanu nesikhombisa, ukuya endaweni emele Igumbi Eliphakathi LeThempeli LeNkosi uSolomoni, okungukuthi, indawo yokulala esebenza ngeziqu ze-Fellow Craft, nakho kungokomfanekiso amawindi ahlukahlukene nature ezindaweni zakhe ezicashile, okungukuthi, ukuthuthuka okuthile ngokomzimba, ngenxa yokuthuthuka komuntu izingqondo, by ngicabanga, ngaphambi kokuthi amukelwe futhi aqoshwe njenge-Fellow Craft.

Inkokhelo namagugu awamukelayo umsebenzi njenge-Fellow Craft kukhona amandla athile engqondo nawengqondo, afanekiselwa ummbila, iwayini namafutha, kanye nendlebe elalelayo, ulimi olufundisayo kanye nesifuba esithembekile.

Ukunaka kweFellow Craft kuqondiswe kokukhulu Uphawu ibekwe ngaphezu kwekhanda leNkosi, uhlamvu G. Kuthiwa imele uNkulunkulu, ye-Gnosis kanye neyeJiyomethri. Kodwa akubanga njalo ngaso sonke isikhathi i-Roman G. I-G imile esikhundleni salokho okufanekiselwa indawo yonke ngephuzu eliphakathi nendawo yesiyingi.

Iphuzu nesiyingi kuyafana, iphuzu liyindilinga encane ngokungenakulinganiswa futhi indilinga iyiphuzu elivezwe ngokugcwele. Inkulumo ihlukaniswe yaba okubonakalisiwe nokungabonakali. Isisho siqhubeka ngamaphuzu nemigqa. Ongabonakaliswa ukhona kokubonakaliswayo futhi okubonakalisiwe kukungabonakali. I Injongo yale nkulumo iwukwenza lokho okubonakaliswayo, ukuqaphela nokuzihlanganisa nokungabonakali okungaphakathi kwakho; khona-ke umbuthano uvezwa ngokugcwele futhi inkulumo, ngamadigri, iphinde ibe iphuzu. Lesi sisho sihlukaniswe ngokuthi okungavezwa noma Into kanye nokubonakaliswa noma ndaba. Matter iphinde ihlukaniswe yaba nature-ndaba futhi uhlakaniphile-ndaba, ngokwamadigri lapho i ndaba uyaphila. Lawa madigri afakazelwa yisikwele futhi achazwa yikhampasi, ngokuya ngama-engeli, ama-horizontals nama-perpendiculars. Nature-ndaba ihlukaniswe ngokungenamkhawulo ngokuvumelana nama-subdegrees amane Izakhi, kanye nenhlanganisela yabo kanye nokuhlukaniswa iziqephu, kanye nezigaba zabo zezidalwa emihlabeni emine ebonakalisiwe. Uhlakaniphile-ndaba, okungukuthi, i I-Triune Self, ihlukaniswe ngamadigri amathathu, awe-Apprentice, Fellow Craft kanye ne-Master. Laba baphakanyiswe eKhothameni Lobukhosi, elingaphakathi Into, ngale ndaba. Okungabonakalisiwe kuhlale ekubonakalisweni ku nature-uhlangothi kanye nasohlangothini oluhlakaniphile, kodwa kungasondelwa futhi kutholakale ohlangothini oluhlakaniphile kuphela. Kutholakala ngokuqaphela, okubizwa ngokuthi i-Masonry ukuthola okwengeziwe Ukukhanya.

Iphuzu nesiyingi kumela konke lokhu nokunye okwengeziwe. I okusho wombuthano ovezwe ngokugcwele unganikezwa ngu izimpawu, ishumi nambili inombolo, emela amaphuzu ayishumi nambili endingilizini. Yonke into kanye nezinto ezisemihlabeni ebonakalisiwe kanye nendawo yonke engabonakali inenani eliphawuleka kakhulu, nature futhi ubeke, ngokwamanye ala maphuzu.

Okuncono izimpawu ukukhombisa amaphuzu ayishumi nambili endingilizi izimpawu zeZodiacal. Amaqiniso atholakala endaweni yonke angavezwa ngeZodiac ngendlela ulimi olujwayelekile olungavumeli futhi kanjalo angaqondwa, ngokwemfashini, ngabantu. Ukufanekisa, i-Universe, kanye a iseli, ihlukaniswe ngomugqa osuka kuCancer uye eCapricorn uye kokungabonakali ngenhla nalokhu okuvezwe ngezansi. Matter ihlukaniswe ngomugqa osuka ku-Aries uye e-Libra ungene nature-ndaba futhi uhlakaniphile-ndaba. "Imiphefumulo” bangene ngokukhulelwa esangweni leCancer of the physical world, futhi bazalelwa esangweni laseLibra futhi badlulele esangweni laseCapricorn. Isikwele senziwa umugqa osuka kuCancer uye eLibra nangomugqa osuka eLibra uye eCapricorn, kanti uMaster uhlala eMpumalanga, eCapricorn, futhi ubusa indawo yakhe yokuhlala kulesi sikwele, i-engeli eku-Libra. Isikwele soMklami Omkhulu siyisikwele esisuka kuCancer siye eLibra siye eCapricorn of the Universe, ngaphezu kwamazwe amane eCancer, Leo, Virgo, kanye neLibra. Ngakho izimpawu Zodiac, njengoba izimpawu emaphuzwini ayishumi nambili ombuthano ovezwe ngokugcwele, khuluma ulimi olunembile olufinyelela yonke into eMhlabeni. Lolu limi yilolo igama elithi Geometry elimele lona. I-Fellow Craft itshelwa ukuthi lokhu kufanekiselwa nohlamvu u-G.

Ijometri iyingxenye yesayensi, enye ingxenye i-geometer. Ijiyomethri isebenzisana nethuluzi elilodwa kuphela, okuyisikwele, esisetshenziselwa ukudweba imigqa eqondile, ama-horizontals nama-perpendiculars, kanye nokuqinisekisa amakhona. Elinye ithuluzi, ikhampasi, limelela enye ingxenye, i-Geometer, noma i- Intelligence, ngaphandle kwalokho bekungeke kube khona iJiyomethri. Ikhampasi idweba imigqa egobile phakathi kwamaphoyinti amabili futhi ichaze indilinga okuwumugqa owodwa oqhubekayo ongenasiphelo, ingxenye ngayinye eqhele ngokulinganayo phakathi nendawo. Ngaphakathi kwemingcele yendilinga, sonke isakhiwo sangempela kufanele simiswe esigcawini.

Umfundi usedlulele ku-Fellow Craft. I-Fellow Craft ithole okwengeziwe Ukukhanya futhi usefundile ukusebenzisa amathuluzi akhe; uyaqonda ukuthi zingakha kanjani kabusha izinsika ezimbili kanye nendlela yokukhuphuka izitebhisi ezimazombezombe ngezinyathelo ezintathu, ezinhlanu nesikhombisa. I izimpawu futhi umsebenzi kule degree ihlobene ne izingqondo of umuzwa-and-isifiso eza ngaphansi kokuqondisa kwe izingqondo of Ukulunga futhi Isizathu we Umcabango we I-Triune Self. Ngesithombo sokuqondisa nezinga lakhe ngicabanga i-Fellow Craft iyalungisa umuzwa-and-isifiso. Wenza konke imizwa futhi izifiso ukuba isikwele ngaphakathi kanye nasezenzweni zangaphandle. Konke lokhu ukwenza ngeyakhe ngicabanga.

Idigri ye-Master Mason imele i-Apprentice and Fellow Craft ekhushulelwe kuzinga le-Master. Njengoba uMfundi eyi- Umenzi kanye neFellow Craft the Umcabango, ngakho-ke i-Master Mason iyona Uyazi. Ukudlula idigri ngayinye njengomuntu kufanekisa ukuthuthuka koMfundi noma Umenzi ukudlulisa kuFellow Craft noma maqondana kuya Umcabango kanye nokukhushulelwa ezingeni le-Master Mason noma ukufinyelelwa maqondana kuya Uyazi.

Umuntu ozobhapathizwa ngemva kokuba eselungisiwe, wavalwa amehlo futhi eboshwe ngentambo okhalo lwakhe, ungena endlini yokulala. Wamukelwa ngawo womabili amaphuzu ekhampasi, ecindezelwe esifubeni sakhe. Uthatha izitebhisi ezintathu eya e-altare lapho eguqa khona okwesithathu isikhathi, ubeka izandla zakhe phezu kweBhayibheli, isikwele nekhampasi, futhi uthatha isibopho seNgcweti Yokwakha. Ucela okunye ukukhanya eMasonry. Ulethwa ku ukukhanya nguMphathi wendawo yokulala, futhi i-hoodwink kanye ne-cable-tow isusiwe. Kanjalo ubona ukuthi amaphuzu womabili wekhampasi angaphezulu kwesikwele. Lokhu yi Uphawu ukuthi nomuntu ofinyelele lezi ziqu zombili izici ze Umcabango zisebenza ngenhla umuzwa-and-isifiso ngoba umuzwa-and-isifiso bazibeke ngaphansi kokuqondisa kwe Umcabango. Uthola iphasi nokubamba kweNgcweti yeMason futhi ugqoke iphinifa lakhe njengeNgcweti yeMason, okungukuthi, i-flap kanye nawo wonke amakhona phansi.

Amathuluzi okusebenza e-Master yiwo wonke amathuluzi e-Masonry amadigri amathathu, ikakhulukazi i-trowel. Njengoba igeyiji nesando salungisa amatshe amaholoholo, njengoba ipayipi lomthofu, ileveli nesikwele ziwafaka endaweni, kanjalo netrowel isakaza usimende futhi iqedele umsebenzi Womsebenzi Wezandla Womfundi Nomunye.
