 This week, we have a special guest, RW:.Brother, Christopher Earnshaw.  RW:. Earnshaw is a Past Grand historian for the Grand Lodge of Japan, Past Master of the Lodge of Research for the Grand Lodge of Japan, a Past Chairman of Education! Brother Earnshaw takes us deep into the alchemical symbolism represented in Freemasonry through the East. Freemasonry often claims that light comes from the East, but just how far? Could the origins of Freemasonry be from China? We’ll talk to RW:. Earnshaw about this hypothesis and the extraordinary evidence that points to it being the truth--Stay tuned! Links: RWB:.

Whence Came You? - Freemasonry discussed and Masonic research for today's Freemason

Whence Came You? - 0519 - Eastern Origins of Freemasonry?

 This week, we travel back to 1915 with the birth of a National Masonic Research Society. That's right, the Builder Magazine. We'll read from Brother Joseph Fort Newton, who lays out the mission of this new organization. Then we'll hear from Ill. Bro. Steve Harrison in a segment all about reaching the East. What happens when we leave? Are we valued anymore? Do people still need us? Where can we find where we fit in after the East? We'll have an all-new segment from Bro. Matt Gallagher--he talks about the five orders in architecture in his excellent segment based on practical Freemasonry. All this and more. Stay tuned!

Whence Came You? - 0518 - The National Research Lodge?

 This week, we look at society's decline through perhaps one of the most influential platforms in our lives today--social media. Brother Greg Knot talks about this issue and how Freemasonry can bring society back together. Then we've got a brand-new segment from Brother Matt Gallagher. In his segment on Practical Freemasonry, he talks about just what is "Practical Freemasonry" and some of the dangers of not knowing your audience. We'll wrap it up with an exploration of science. Just what is science? In Freemasonry, we have the seven liberal arts and sciences. In what context do we study them? And can science always be trusted? All this and more in this episode of "Whence Came You?" Stay tuned! Thanks for listening, and have an amazing week!

Whence Came You? - 0517 - The Debate on Science and Society

 This week, we talk about the magic in ritual. Is it truly magic, or is it a psychological change that rearranges how man thinks about life? In this great piece from Brother Akram R. Elias, PGM, we talk about the "magic" of ritual. Then, we'll hear the tale of William Dodd. A Freemason who got into some trouble, forged his signature in order to pay back some debts, and got caught up in a wild tale you're not going to want to miss in an all-new Masonic Minute from Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison. We'll wrap it up with a segment from Brother Matt Gallagher in Practical Freemasonry. When we talk about a lodge's retention point, this isn't some magical number that talks about how well your lodge is doing. In fact, it's the point in a man's journey in Freemasonry that he decides it's for him, and he's in for life. So, where is that point in the Masonic journey? As we'll see, it's not necessarily the third degree—all this and more. Stay tuned! App extras include the paper we read.

Whence Came You? - 0516 - The Magic Ritual

Whence Came You? - 0416 - The Magic Ritual

 This week, as we travel through the year Masonically, sometimes things become a little laid back--things become not exciting, and then one day, our thumbs stop scrolling. We see something inspiring, and that's just what Brother Randy Sanders has in store for us as he talks about inspiring events happening in Freemasonry. What could it mean for all of us? Then we'll hear from Brother Matt Gallagher in his exclusive, Practical Freemasonry segment. Why should you be a Mason? And perhaps, why you shouldn't? We'll wrap it up with a new piece from the Midnight Freemasons. Brother. JP brings up a very important topic. What happens when we let basic beliefs become politicized and what effect does that have on Freemasonry? All this and more, stay tuned!

Whence Came You? - 0515 - Don't Let Them In!

 This week, we ask the question, what is moral courage? How many of us have moral courage in the lodge room? Can we stand up for what's right regardless of who is infringing on the rules of Freemasonry? Then, we'll hear the story of one of the most prolific computer programmers ever to be on this planet in an all-new Masonic Minute from Ill. Bro. Steve Harrison. Finally, we wrap it up with a great new segment, Practical Freemasonry with Matt Gallagher. In this episode, he'll take us through the wages of a Master Mason in a practical sense--all this and more, stay tuned!

Whence Came You? - 0514 - Moral Courage: Do We Have It?

 Does Freemasonry have a mascot? If it had a mascot, What would it look like? What would it represent? What does it send as a message to the outside community? Then, we’ll talk about the origin of the human species. What traits does the Homo sapien have, and how did they lead to our current state of modern survival and comfort? And likewise, what are the virtues that have been collected over time to form the civil societies that we live in? Does Freemasonry have something to do with it? Did it collect them all and put them under her own banner? All this and more on this episode of the Whence Came You? Podcast. Thanks for listening!

Whence Came You? - 0513 - Human Survival: Collecting Traits and Virtues

 This week we explore what the New Age Magazine once thought about Martian life and how to communicate with Mars. A Masonic magazine talking about communications with Mars? That's right. We'll be shooting for the stars as we check out this awesome article from Dr. John Bozeman. Then, we hear from Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison as he gives us the perfect recipe for putting on a Masonic event. We'll wrap it up with a discussion on fear and how Freemasonry can help us overcome our base fears, our irrational fears--what Sigmund Freud called our neurotic fear. All this and more coming right up. Stay tuned!
