The Tenets

The Masonic tenets are Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.

Tenets are cardinal; they direct a person's, group's, and country's life. Winston Churchill was the United Kingdom's Prime Minister during the Second World War. One of his tenets was "Never give in! Never give in! Never, never, never, never -- in nothing great and small -- large and petty -- Never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense." The Boy Scouts of America is a United States scouting organization. One of its tenets is "Be prepared." One of the United States of America's tenets is "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

Tenets are powerful; they determine what a person, group, and country become. Winston Churchill never gave in. The Boy Scouts of America are prepared. The United States of America protects its citizens' Life, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness.

So in following tenets, one becomes those tenets. So Masons following the tenets of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth, become loving, helpful, and truth-seeking.

What tenets do you follow? What have you become?

The Pot of Incense

The Pot of Incense, a Masonic symbol, represents a pure heart.

To follow your heart means to follow your feelings. The purer your heart, the purer your feelings. A pure heart is synonymous with pure feelings.

The purer your feelings, the purer your behavior. For example, pure depression causes pure quitting; pure confidence causes pure persisting.

The purer your behavior, the purer your life. For example, pure quitting causes pure failure; pure persisting causes pure success.

Therefore in purifying your heart, you purify your life. And your type of life follows from your type of heart.

The Blazing Star, The Hammer

The Blazing Star, a Masonic symbol, represents divine providence.

Living a divinely provident life is to live a Godly planned life, contrasting with living a humanly planned life. Which life is better? It depends. Sometimes you need to be a hammer, and sometimes a blazing star.

The Hammer:

Living a humanly planned life is pursuing goals that you desire. In this life, you are hammering your way to success. Through your steely willpower, you hammer through your obstacles. You are the hammer.

The Blazing Star:

Living a Godly planned life is accepting goals that God desires. In this life, you are trusting in God's plan, achieving success. Through His plan, you are guided around your obstacles. You are the blazing star.

Star versus Hammer:

The blazing star, guided faithfully in faith, is unshakable; whereas the hammer, hammering willfully in will, is unstoppable. However, the blazing star is peaceful; while the hammer is turbulent. The former refreshes; the latter jades.

So pursue your goals -- hammer-like. But when jaded, let go and let God -- blazing star-like.

The Mirror

In physics, Newton's third law of motion and Einstein's general theory of relativity are important. Since physics is the science of reality, we can use the law and theory to explain human life.

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal reaction. In other words, if you do good to others, others will do good to you. And if you do evil to others, others will do evil to you.

Einstein's general theory of relativity states that mass distorts space, causing gravity. So the more massive an object is, the more it distorts space, causing stronger gravity. And the less massive an object is, the less it distorts space, causing weaker gravity. In other words, the more massive your actions are, the stronger consequences gravitate toward you. And the less massive your actions are, the weaker consequences gravitate toward you.

Combining Newton's law and Einstein's theory, the more good you do to others, the stronger good gravitates toward you. And the less good you do to others, the weaker good gravitates toward you. Contrastively, the more evil you do to others, the stronger evil gravitates toward you. And the less evil you do to others, the weaker evil gravitates toward you.

Life is The Mirror.

The Spade

The Spade, a Masonic symbol, means to remove the rubbish of vice and ignorance.

Vices are habits that negatively affect your life. Examples can be laziness, rashness, and lust. Ignorance is not knowing how to accomplish something. An example can be driving to a new destination without knowing the directions.

Vices:

A lazy person, acting too slowly, cannot succeed. This person acts too late. He never seems to catch up. A rash person, acting too quickly, cannot succeed. This person acts, making many serious mistakes. So instead of saving time, he wastes time. A lustful person, pleasuring himself often, cannot succeed. This person's actions are often unrelated to his goal. He pursues pleasure more than purpose.

Ignorance:

An ignorant person, not knowing what to do, cannot succeed. Can you imagine a builder building without a blueprint, an aviator aviating without air-navigating devices, or a sailor sailing without sea-navigating devices? To be ignorant is to be lost.

Removing:

To remove vice and ignorance, you must have self-control and knowledge. Controlling yourself, you control your destiny. Knowing your trade, you knowingly accomplish your goals.

So what is success? Controlling yourself, accomplishing knowingly.

The Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem, a Masonic symbol, teaches Masons to be general lovers of the arts and sciences.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that given a right triangle, the hypotenuse's length squared = a leg's length squared + the other leg's length squared. The legs form an L-shaped 90 degree angle, while the hypotenuse slopes from the top of the L to the tail end of the L.

The Pythagorean Theorem is art, in that it deals with shapes; it is science, in that it is mathematical. Shapely and mathematically, this theorem explains success. Success shapely forms a triangular path: successfully thinking to behaving, behaving to living, and thinking to living. Success mathematically fits the Pythagorean Theorem: successfully thinking to behaving squared + successfully behaving to living squared = successfully thinking to living squared.

Given this Pythagorean Success Theorem, the more successful you are in thinking behaviorally or behaving lively, the more successful you are in thinking lively. Thinking lively is the hypotenuse of success.

The Square

The Square, a Masonic symbol, means to square your actions by the square of virtue.

To square your actions means to align them. Your actions align to your thoughts. Your thoughts may be virtuous or vice-filled. Thinking virtuously, you behave virtuously; thinking vice-fully, you behave vice-fully. The reason is that thoughts affect behavior, cause behavior, are behavior.

Virtues and Vices:

Virtues and vices can relate to religion. For example, Christian virtues are love, hope, and faith; whereas Christian vices are hate, despair, and doubt. Christians strive to perfect their love, hope, and faith. Love is strong affection for others; hope is positive expectancy; faith is trust in yourself and God. Christians strive to avoid hate, despair, and doubt. Hate is strong antipathy for others; despair is negative expectancy; doubt is distrust in yourself and God.

Good and Bad Behavior:

Thinking lovingly about others causes you to behave lovingly toward them, whereas thinking hatefully about others causes you to behave hatefully toward them. Thinking hopefully about life causes you to behave hopefully toward it, whereas thinking despairingly about life causes you to behave despairingly toward it. Thinking faithfully about yourself and God causes you to behave faithfully toward yourself and Him, whereas thinking doubtfully about yourself and God causes you to behave doubtfully toward yourself and Him.

Blessings and Curses:

Behaving lovingly toward others causes them to behave lovingly toward you, whereas behaving hatefully toward others causes them to behave hatefully toward you. Behaving hopefully toward life causes it to physically manifest your hope, whereas behaving despairingly toward life causes it to physically manifest your despair. Behaving faithfully toward yourself and God causes you to succeed in all things, whereas behaving doubtfully toward yourself and God causes you to fail in all things.

Summarily, thinking virtuously brings you manifold blessings; thinking vice-fully brings you manifold curses.
