Join us this week as we read a piece penned in 1950 about the apparent attack on the public education system by none other than--the Roman Catholic Church!

Then we read the latest from Brother Mark St. Cyr in his piece, which has been making all the waves on social media lately. All this and more! Thanks for listening, and have a great weekend!

If you've never listened to these segments before, this one might be the most important one yet. All this and more! Thanks for listening, and have an amazing week!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 12:45:00 -0700

This week we're talking about what happens after the East--Sure we've read tons of great information about what to do when you're going into the Master's chair, but what can we say about leaving it? We've also got Patrick Dey stopping by for another great Masonic Mythbusters segment. Where do we get those wild notions of a trial by the elements in some rituals? Lastly, we'll give some brand-new information about Masonic Con Chicago 2023! Thanks for listening and have the best week ever!

Whence Came You? - 0604 - To Be Good and True

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Wed, 2 Aug 2023 20:33:00 -0700

In this episode, we read a recent piece from Darin A. Lahners of the Midnight Freemason blog that questions if we as Freemasons, can ever be good and true. Darin raises some wonderful points, and I give my thoughts at the end. Feel free to comment, regardless of whether you agree or not! Friendly debate is always welcome! Thanks for listening and have an amazing week!

Join us this week for a raw interview with Worshipful Brother Joe Martinez. I've long wanted to interview Brother Joe about his approach to Freemasonry. His unique approach is one I've always wondered about, and how to get it to work to bring about a better fraternal experience for all members. Not just education, charity, ritual, or fellowship--but something else entirely that's been in front of us the whole time.

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 21 May 2023 21:33:00 -0700

This week, we're exploring the concept of death as humans understand it. Removing all religious dogma, we follow an article founded in reason that tells us the truth--the cure for death...perhaps, is a revelation into its true nature. We also speak about the most misunderstood Tarot card ever...probably. :) Thanks for listening, and have a great week!

What Freemasonry Expects from You
http://www.midnightfreemasons.org/2023/03/what-freemasonry-expects-of-you.html

Whence Came You? - 0588 - Masonry's Unbrotherly Expectations?

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Mon, 3 Apr 2023 09:30:00 -0700

This week we're looking at a paper by the Managing Editor of the Midnight Freemasons, Darin A. Lahners. In this piece, he breaks apart a wonderful short paragraph on the expectations of being a Freemason. However many of the things espoused as being expectations are not followed by many within our Craft today. Are these expectations even relevant? Should they be heeded? Is an expectation within Freemasonry even "brotherly?" Thanks for listening and have a fantastic week!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 09:43:00 -0800

This week, we're talking about the issue of interpreting the degrees in Freemasonry. While it provides possible contemplative fuel, it may degrade the overall experience. Then, we look at the value of simply being a dues-payer. We'll wrap it up with a contemplative exercise based on speaking well about others. All this and more, stay tuned. Thanks for listening and have a wonderful week!

Whence Came You? - 0573 - Oh Christmas Tree!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Tue, 6 Dec 2022 11:23:00 -0800

This week, we get a call to action from Darin A. Lahners...Do you have what it takes to write for the Midnight Freemasons? Then, WB:. Patrick Dey joins us once again for his acclaimed segment, Masonic Mythbusters. In this continuing special burst of Christmas-themed myths and curiosities, Patrick gives us the truth behind the Christmas Tree. Is it Pagan? Is it Christian? Does it matter? Then we'll hear another inspiring article about democracy and the rights of the people in a short essay from WB:. Andy Albright. What should we think about in regard to civil disobedience? Finally, a contemplative segment related to our successes and how we play them off. Maybe it's time to own them and say, "Thank You!." All this and more! Stay tuned!

Whence Came You - 0572 - And Justice for Some

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 27 Nov 2022 20:51:00 -0800

This week, in a paper by KCCH, Andy Albright of South Carolina, we explore Justice as a Masonic Tenet and what could happen if it were removed from society. Freemasonry holds Justice to be of the utmost importance, and Bro. Andy delivers in his message. Then, in an all-new Masonic Mythbusters, WB. Dey takes on Mithraism and the Advent. Is there a connection? We'll wrap it up with a contemplative exercise as it relates to creativity--using William Blake as our inspiration. All this and more! Thanks for listening, and have a wonderful week!

Whence Came You? - 0571 - Using the Masonic Virtue of Truth: Thanksgiving

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 20 Nov 2022 20:38:00 -0800

This week, we're using the Masonic tool of Truth to uncover the real story of Thanksgiving. Did it really involve a peaceful meeting? Was it politically motivated? Was it a total myth? Then we're going to take an unusual turn as we use a tarot deck to bring some levity to the show after a highly reflective educational topic. Thanks for listening, and have an amazing Thanksgiving week!

Whence Came You? - 0570 - The Foundation of Freemasonry

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 15:11:00 -0800

This week we explore the underlying foundation of speculative Freemasonry--from our Founding Fathers to a society bent on creating a better world and founding public education opportunities--to our current state. When Masonic Education is lacking, then we cease to be the Progressive Moral Science we espouse to be. Thanks for listening, and have a great week!

Whence Came You? - 0560 - The Rosicrucian Hiram Legend?

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 13:37:00 -0700

This week-- a quick review of Masonic Con Kansas, 2022. We'll hear about some of the highlights. Then I step aside and let WB:. Patrick Dey take center stage for an all-new Masonic MythBusters. Many esoteric Masons worldwide have cited Rudolph Steiner’s alternate Rosicrucian Hiramic legend. Some have taken it to heart, but where did Steiner get the ideas contained within his Rosicrucian Hiramic legend? This magical story of Hiram, who jumps into the fire, meets Tu-Ball Cain and is gifted the secrets of the ages. A tale of love, deceit, and even—murder. Is it to be taken all for true? Bro. Patrick Dey takes us back to the origin of this tale. Get ready to have your mind blown!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 21 Aug 2022 20:13:00 -0700

This week, we look at the MIddle Chamber Program through the eyes of Brother Randy Sanders. What is it? Where is it? And what's it all about? Then, in a short opinion piece, we ask, "What will Freemasons of the future write about the past? Are there Masonic heroes of today that they'll write about? All this and more, stay tuned!

Whence Came You? - 0558 - Practical Balance

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Mon, 15 Aug 2022 19:12:00 -0700

This week, we ask the critical question, where did the magic go? That occult magick somehow permeates all Masonic ritual, and how can we get it back? Then, in all new Masonic Myth Busters, Brother Patrick Dey tackles one of the most challenging questions ever related to the fraternity. Albert Pike, racism and slavery. In this unapologetic, candid look at just the facts, Bro Dey takes a look at the numerous writings of Albert Pike. He determines precisely where the man and Masonic Titan stand. There is no escaping these conclusions. Finally, we'll wrap it up with an excellent piece from Bro. Randy Sanders. Do you love Masonic Education but hate all that esoteric stuff or vice versa? Are you just a hard esotericist and can't take the rest? Randy Sanders has some great ideas on how to approach Masonic symbolism properly--and we do it gently. All this and more. Stay tuned.

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 7 Aug 2022 19:37:00 -0700

This week we're talking about communications--in particular, how to effectively ensure that there are those who know what you want to do and what you don't. In addition, we've got a great new Masonic minute with Ill. Bro. Steve Harrison on Tim Horton--one of Hockey's greats. In this awesome segment, Steve goes through the ups and downs of a national sports hero. We'll also have a great piece by Darin Lahners on the recent York Rite education event in the state of Illinois. Don't miss it!

Whence Came You? - 0556 - The Trouble In Washington D.C.

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 31 Jul 2022 21:47:00 -0700

This week we’re talking about the Masonic Philosophy of George Washington. In previous episodes, we've explored George Washington's religion and specific notions of the founding fathers. The two-part series presented this week will dive even deeper. Then we'll read a 25-year-old article published in the Washington Post about Washington D.C.’s Map. From Satan to the Sphinx--the Masonic mysteries of DC. In this article, the author traces the various claims of notable and influential Americans to crackpots and more when referring to the multiple claims of occult and Masonic designs within the city of Washington D.C., our nation’s capital. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a discussion on beginning new spiritual paths and manifestations and what that has in store for us.

This week, we examine a list of presidents who belong to various secret societies, the Freemasons, the Odd Fellows, and some others that you've likely never heard of. Then we'll explore George Washington’s various philosophies regarding religion and the United States. Was George Washington truly influenced to create a nation based on Masonic principles? The case seems overwhelmingly in the affirmative. Then we'll even have a short piece about presidential hauntings. That's right, the founders of our great nation may be haunting their old homes and even the White House. All this and more, stay tuned.

This week--can an infrared thermometer affect your pineal gland and destroy your third eye? (˵ ͠ಥ‿ ͠ಥ˵) Some conspiracy theorists say yes! We'll read a short article from Discover Magazine talking about just such a conspiracy. Then we'll explore the strange home of Aleister Crowley, Boleskine. What exactly happened there? What are the 115 demons that he unleashed? What happened after not one but two tragic fires occurred on the property formerly owned by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page? How can you visit there today? We’ll wrap the show up with a single card Tarot draw and talk about the “warrior poet.” All this and more, stay tuned!

Whence Came You? - 0553 - What's Martinism?

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:05:00 -0700

This week, we tackle the first in a series of episodes and topics about little-known organizations and philosophical quirks. This week we're talking about Martinism. What is it? How many branches are there, and where did it come from? Then we'll talk about the luxury of anger, something Freemasons don't really have. In a piece by Kristine Wilson-Slack, she tells us exactly why. Then, Bro. Steve Harrison stops by for the Masonic Minute. We're all pretty familiar with the Morgan affair. We even know that a body was recovered, but that it probably wasn't Morgan. But there was a second body that was recovered, and the effects which were contained with the body stand to blow the case wide open again. Steve Harrison tells all. We’ll wrap it up with a look at an archetype. Are you vigilant? Are you searching for truth? All this and more, stay tuned!

Freedom and Freemasonry

Whence Came You? - 0552 - True Freedom

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 3 Jul 2022 20:31:00 -0700

The Holiday of July 4th, Independence Day, is upon us. A holiday that has its roots and foundations in the ideas of freedom, liberty, and more. We’ll explore what writer and philosopher Thomas Payne had to say about American independence. We’ll then explore what Freemasonry has to do during its ritual work with the idea of freedom. We'll talk about the reason for the War of Independence—and what we get wrong about the American Revolution. Was it about taxes or representation? You'll need to listen to find out; perhaps, it's even more profound. We will then go into a short review of a text by Rudolf Steiner on the Philosophy of Freedom before wrapping it up with a few rousing quotes from Thomas Paine. All this and more--stay tuned

Whence Came You? - 0551 - Templars, Cathars, and Merovingians

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 26 Jun 2022 23:16:00 -0700

This week, we’re talking about the fate of the Knights Templar. What happened in 1129 CE and then in 1307? We’ll follow this up with a look at a group that came before the Knight Templar, the Cathars, and then we will follow it up with a piece on the Merovingians. In a three-part series composed by Kristine Wilson-Slack, she explores all three of these groups and the connections they may or may not have to Freemasonry and their influence in the world today. Finally, we'll wrap it up with the qualities associated with independence, judgment in unbiased ways, and direct communication. All this and more—Stay Tuned!

Temple or Lodge?https://blog.philosophicalsociety.org/2018/10/07/the-real-reason-a-masonic-temple-is-called-a-lodge/

Whence Came You? - 0550 - Temple, or Lodge?

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 19 Jun 2022 19:38:00 -0700

This week, we look at why a Masonic “Lodge” is also referred to as a “temple” and why it's not called a temple anymore or is it? In this philosophical look at the Temple versus Lodge debate, we’ll take apart both terms and see what they mean and how they are interchangeable and maybe not interchangeable--within the greater umbrella of Freemasonry. Then Ill. Bro. Steven L. Harrison stops by—this week, a fantastic journey stemming from the Grand Lodge of the state of Missouri. The One Grand Lodge that gave us more Freemasonry than any other Grand Lodge! We’ll also look at last month’s Fraternal Review examining the Leo Taxil Hoax. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a contemplative exercise. Are you out there solving problems and moving toward your goals using a massive force of your intellect? Find out this and a whole lot more. Stay tuned!

Whence Came You? - 0547 - Big John Deacon Freemason Extraordinaire with Chris Williams

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 29 May 2022 22:07:00 -0700

This week, we have the author of a four-part series of books. In it, a fictional character, Brother Deacon, a larger-than-life Freemason, extols lessons in Masonic philosophy through stories considered by many to be the contemporary version of the old Claudy Tyler Talks. We’ll talk with Brother James “Chris” Williams and find out why he wrote the books, what they mean to him, and some personal stories that are sure to get you right in the feels. Then, we’ll have a quick contemplative session on the idea of independence-- alone time, collaborations, what's it all mean? All this is and more!

Whence Came You? - 0545 - What the Heck Is Egregore?

noreply@blogger.com (Robert H. Johnson) — Sun, 15 May 2022 20:25:00 -0700

This week, how can we adjust our lives to be more Masonic, and connect with the people around us? Is the answer truly in putting down our phones and electronics? Are they truly a plague upon modern mankind? We’ll explore this idea in a piece by Darin A. Lahners, where he lays out many of the significant issues with mental health and our dependence on electronics. Then Ill. Bro. Harrison tells us about famous last words--those words spoken by prolific and interesting people throughout history, at the end of their earthly existence. We'll explore the idea of Egregore and Freemasonry, a commonly misunderstood concept. It has as many definitions as you could imagine, including some that are laughable. We’ll define it, and you'll get a true sense of what this actually is. And finally, we'll wrap it up in a contemplation on your next steps in life. Reaching the higher self for your greatest good. All this and more!

This week, we get a rundown of what happened at the Midwest Conference of Masonic Education, 2022, in Kansas City, MO. What were some of the ideas passed around from state education officer to state education officer regarding best practices and discoveries within the realm of Masonic education? Then we'll hear, from Greg Knott, who tells us about a recent visit he had to a used bookstore. What treasures did he find? Finally, we'll wrap it up with reflections on being your own teacher--what that means and the duality of such an idea. Truth from within, or teenage angst? Going against the grain. Challenging the status quo. All this and more. Stay tuned!
