εὑρίσκω heurískō "I find” - used to show that you have been successful in something you were trying to do. You have been a successful Master. Now that you’re out of the chair, what’s next?
To guide the more junior members to get to where you have been. Throw them a rope, and ask them to hang tight because you have got them covered.
The brain reward system.
Here is a scientifically proven fact about how your mind works. If you punish your brain for doing the wrong thing, it will stop doing the specific thing you punished it for.
But if you reward your brain for doing the right thing, it will keep doing the specific thing you rewarded it for.
Pythagorass Theorem - The Operative Masons Secret
Anglisani, L. M. (2019, June 15). Pythagoras’s Theorem – The Operative Mason’s secret -. Tetraktys.co.uk. https://tetraktys.co.uk/pythagorass-theorem-the-operative-masons-secret/
I just read this. It details is a fascinating connection between Pythagoras’s theorem and the ancient Operative Freemasons who built architecturally beautiful structures. Here are the key points:
Operative Freemasons and Their Architectural Achievements:
The Operative Freemasons, our ancestors, constructed remarkable buildings using unsophisticated tools and technology.
Despite these limitations, their structures continue to inspire admiration.
Pythagoras’s Theorem and Its Significance:
Pythagoras’s Theorem, rediscovered by the Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, played a crucial role in their building methods.
The formula was known to the Babylonians and Egyptians even before Pythagoras’s time.
The Speculative Freemasons later adopted its allegorical mystical significance.
Symbolism in Freemasonry:
Passing Worshipful Masters receive a collar with a jewel symbolizing the completion of their mandate.
The jewel represents Pythagoras’s theorem using the 3-4-5 application method.
It also incorporates symbols of the Square, Level, and Plumb Rule—tools used to prepare ashlars (building stones).
Construction Principles:
Operative Freemasons adhered to essential principles:
Perfectly upright foundations
Level structures
Perfect 90-degree angles at corners
These principles remain valid in modern construction.
In summary, this article provides intriguing insights into the intersection of mathematics, symbolism, and craftsmanship.
