EP 29 -Dia de los Muertos, Winter Solstice, Brooks Kubik, and Masonic Study

I’m back.In this episode of Masonic Muscle, I continue laying the foundation for a stronger body, mind, and soul by connecting family tradition, physical training, Masonic study, seasonal symbolism, and the duty of lodge officers to keep improving.I read an email from Brooks Kubik, talk about abbreviated training, share a family tradition connected to Día de los Muertos, and reflect on knowing what time of year we are in — especially as we move toward the Winter Solstice.Then we bring it back to Freemasonry.This episode solves one Masonic Muscle problem:How can Masons strengthen the body, sharpen the mind, and study the Craft with more seriousness instead of drifting through lodge life?We discuss:coming back to the podcastBrooks Kubik and abbreviated trainingbuilding a stronger body, mind, and soulDía de los Muertos and family traditionGrand Lodge CommunicationSolomon’s WheelWinter Solstice symbolismthe Seven Liberal Arts and Scienceswhy lodge officers should read their cipherswhy non-officers should study Masonic origins, history, and symbolismusing your little lizard brainwhy Masons need discipline in both study and trainingIf you are an officer of the lodge, read your cipher.Know the work.Practice the work.Respect the office.If you are not an officer, do not sit there doing nothing.Study the origins of Freemasonry.Study the history.Study the symbolism.Study the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences.Study the seasonal rhythms and the old questions that keep showing up in the Craft.A Mason should not be mentally asleep.He should train the body, sharpen the mind, and keep searching for more light.Have an origin theory, Masonic question, old document, book recommendation, lodge problem, fitness transformation story, or research lead?Write to me at:[email protected] Masonic Muscle on Instagram:@masonicmuscleFollow Masonic Muscle on Facebook.Subscribe and follow Masonic Muscle on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.
