A Lodge of Discussion is the image that comes to mind when Freemasons think of the historic conversations that must have occurred in the early days of the Craft. Closed-door discussions with prominent men, openly talking about issues and subjects that were prohibited at the time. RW Daniel Di Natale recently shared how this concept is returning to modern Lodge meetings.

Esotericism is any topic “intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.” This certainly applies to Freemasonry. Oddly enough, mention the word “esoteric” and you may make some Masons cringe. Bro. Rene Perez is here to share why we don’t have to travel to outer space or back to ancient civilizations to appreciate esoteric thought.

We have all heard the term, “in God’s hands” when it comes to the reassurance of a master plan but what does that mean? Are there decisions we make in moments in life that will ultimately affect our outcome? I found myself asking these questions as I began investigating life’s hidden opportunities.
