Masonic Muscle

Rain Man still has more questions, but he wants to talk about Shangri-La and Old Masonry.

Rain Man and I have a conversation after eating some homemade Mexican Chili Beans.

We cover many topics from Prince Hall Masonry, Illuminati, Observance, high standards, degrees, Moose Lodge, Elks, Rotary, Grand Lodge Leadership Retreats, and much more.

Why was the Grand Lodge of California created?

Rain Man does what Rain Man does. He describes an appendant body pulling a midnight move on us and they get caught.

What else do we talk about?

Masonic Muscle is a unique podcast dedicated to helping put the Mystery back in Masonry by exercising our Masonic knowledge one degree at a time through a prudent and well-regulated course of discipline.

How many of you California Masons have delved into the history of the formation of the Grand Lodge of the state of California?

What was the impetus?

What motivated the Masons at that time to form a Grand Lodge?

How was it formed?

Can anyone form a grand Lodge?

Why was it formed?

Let's use this as a primer for a further deep dive coming soon.

Rain Man has some questions about Freemasonry:

• who gave the Grand Lodge of California their charter

• Who gave them the authority?
• What powers does our charter give a lodge?
• Do we have to make masons?
• Prince Hall Lodges
• Why do we need a charter?
• Why do we need to post anything we do on social media?

We as Masons are told to adopt a prudent and well-regulated course of discipline in all we do so that we can show honor to God by honing our talents and using them for the greater glory of ourselves and God.

Texas Grand Lodge Communication has come and gone they still have a lot of work to do.

I read a few paragraphs from a book called " The Beer Option" by R. Jared Stuart.

I changed my exercise routine and talked about the word "Charity" and its importance to Freemasonry.

You must become as a child and stay curious about the world around you.

As our lodge continues to work toward getting our charter back, the present Grand Master came down for our January stated meeting.

After business was conducted the Grand Master was given the floor and proceeded to answer any questions the brethren had.

Once this was done, the Grand Master gave us the blueprint for how to get our charter back.

Why do we need an AGL???

This episode was meant to come out early this month but lost in the shuffle.

I reviewed an older podcast called "Peace Revolution" EP. Seven where we learn where the art of Rhetoric came from and what it taught.

We are presented with the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences in Freemasonry, but nobody tells us why.

The art of persuasion seems to have been with us for thousands of years.

When were the Trivium and Quadrivium in ...

An EA of our lodge was challenged to draft a paper on Hermeticism and the possible similarities it may have with Freemasonry.

The explorations into the Mysteries of Masonry continue at Palm Springs Lodge No.693.

California adopted the Cipher ritual book at the 1989 Grand Lodge Communication.

We had an awesome conversation while having a Fraziskaner Weissbier.

Give me a review on Spotify and iTunes.

The only conversation worth having continues as Brother Jesus Marquez tells us what he is learning as he studies for the EA degree proficiency.

Our resident "Curmudgeon" Jeff Bayer PM talks about how his journey in Freemasonry began, how the Caft was practiced then, and how we created something not-so-new at our Lodge before he left for Tennessee.

He fills in some gaps in our lodge history and then we talk about his opinion about the Grand Lodge of Texas.

This episode is for our Entered Apprentice Masons. I read from the Entered Apprentice Guidebook that is no longer in print, but some are still in circulation.

Since we had our Charter Suspended, many of you have been confused as to what you can and cannot do. I read from pages 28 & 29 of Entered Apprentices & Fellowcrafts and where it can be found in the California Masonic Code (CMC).

Jesus Marquez is an EA from our lodge and has been attending the lodge since September 2021. After 12 months of attending our lodge, he finally got an application, and we initiated him a few months later.

We have a free-flowing conversation about many things both masonic and nonmasonic. We discuss the mysteries of masonry, his experience at Palm Springs Lodge No.693, Man Cave Nights, Masonic Con, his studies into Hermeticism, find...

Many lodges reached out to us and asked us why all of this is happening.

        We talked about the Old-Fashioned Masonic Podcast, Masonic Improvement and The Traveling Man Podcasts.

         CMC = California Masonic Cod

Constitutions and By-Laws.

        Rental Contracts and the fine print.

        We get feedback from our first 6 episodes of ‘A Lodges Journey.’

         Rain Man tells us why this is all happening to our lodge.

 ...

We give an update after A Lodges Journey Part 6 and what's happened since then.

Our charter is still suspended, we have been given more time to continue to work to get our charter back and Rainman was banned from attending the lodge after the November Stated meeting.

Our Inspector accused some members of being disloyal to the Craft in front of the lodge.

Do we have to make Masons according to our Charter?

I will introduce a website that every mason should visit and explore. What was our Masonic Founders' original intent and what was the original intent of the first weightlifters?
