Episode Number One:
“The Entered Apprentice of The Temple of Solomon”
@ 6:15 when I described the three pillars, my hand should have been still, not pointing to the pillars. I noticed this after I uploaded the video. Please disregard from 6:15-6:20.
Thanks for checking out my video!
Today I wanted to share with you a couple pages from my esoteric journal. The topic for this video is the first Masonic Tracing Board and the Entered Apprentice of the Temple of Solomon. In the video I explain some esoteric interpretations of the symbolism of, and the philosophy behind, the first Masonic Tracing Board.

Appreciate your shared time TY, very inspiring
Amazing. Long have I been a seeker, although not a Mason myself. Such information is a treasure. As someone constantly looking for this kind of thing, I really appreciate you making this avaliable to me. I believe you've earned a subscriber in me.
I sincerely appreciate you watching, subscribing, and leaving a comment! It really makes my efforts feel worthwhile!
Thank you! Ive been looking for an explanation of this tracing board. Awesome stuff.
Well presented, but I have renounced all occult practice for salvation. Jesus Christ is my LORD and SALVATION
Thank you very much. You presented the concepts in a very clear, easy to understand manner and I learned a lot. Well done.
Always good to hear explanations from different points of view. You appear to have missed out the depiction and a commentary on the significance of the three gold dots on almost all of Bowring's first degree boards and the compasses. The dots relate to the ppoe referred to in William Preston's first lecture, second section, clause 2 and the compasses to the location of the last one of those. One of my lodges possesses and uses an excellent and much admired original 1811 set out of the 10 sets he is known to have painted between 1796 and 1819 (after which there are are two undated sets), making 12 sets in total.
Kris, thanks so much for your video on The Masonic Tracing Board! Your drawing and presentation was just very impressive! Thanks again and all the best for you in 2022!
I like the idea of a journal of specific topics. Nice job.
Thank you so much! Glad you like it! Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment, I sincerely appreciate it!

Thank you so much! I’m thinking about similar videos about the other tracing boards and perhaps the tree of life. Do you have any other ideas that would work with the journal/video concept?
@@subrosa4792I agree that the Trestle Board is a very important piece. Not only for the designs put upon it for good and wholesome instructions for their labors, but also for learning the MM Degree.
Awesome video brother.
Peace Profound 🌹

Thank you for your contribution of light.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it!
just watch this video do you have more videos in your oooh sooooo beautiful diary? Bless you
That is very interesting that you mention the Masonic lodges always facing due East and West because there is a very articulate and beautiful lodge where I live and it is facing North and South. I wonder why its not following suit?
Unfortunately, a lot of Lodges are not truly laid out in the traditional manner of the compass due to the either the layout out the streets in the city or town, or if the building chosen does not have a true Easterly alignment. But all the ancient Temples and Lodges do face East as to where the master of the Lodge is seated.
So even though my three Lodges do not face East in the meeting degree room, we still do have it marked out as it does though. Because it is important to do so for a few reasons. Not only for the positions of the elected officials, but for the journeys of the candidates coming through as well.
Very nicely done!
Shining Light thank you! I appreciate your kind words! I’m glad you liked the video!
And also, throughout my lessons and research the masculine is left and feminine, right. Again the pillars are meant to be taken as something to behold, no become.
can you explain please what is MAL ?
Hey, cool B.O.T.A. bookmark! :)
Very impressive...! Thank you.....
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and I’m glad to be of service!
Have you a link for the book?
great video brother
Many meanings have been laid on the two columns. So many it is like an onion or artichoke you have to keep peeling them all away. It is my understanding the absolute highest meanings of the columns is that they represent the pillars of the universe and how it all comes about and operates. One pillar is "Principle" and the other "Personality". The principle is the feminine and the Personality is masculine principles. According to the lectures and writings of Judge Thomas Troward. There are many audiobook readings here on YT.
The Ein Sof is the pre manifestation source of all there is and the physical world allows constant change and differentiation from source providing personality and desires/likes/dislikes. In the continual reciprocal interchange between the two the Ein Sof is allowed to continually evolve itself. When a man or any being manages to merge its consciousness with the universal consciousness it is represented by the keystone in the middle of an archway between the two. This is why the Tarot has a priest/priestess between the columns. In the modern world you would simply call someone who has attained this consciousness enlightened.
When contemplating Solomon's temple think of it as a machine and overlay it on the human body and think of it as a biological machine. We think nothing of replicating human parts like joints, hearts, we have kidney dialisis machines, ear implants etc. But think of Soloman's temple as an occult prayer machine/manifestation machine. Notice how even with the Ark of the covenant in its portable tent operates the very same way--- literally and not symbolically. The Ark is not a religious relic but technology. Like a super powered being-made pineal gland.
The human body is a manifestation machine. The great pyramids were as well and did many other things. The Ark device was stolen from the pyramids and used as a manifestation/replicator using silk sheets flapping in the wind to power it. Then Solomon built a permanent home for it on the temple mount. You can be sure those who have the device now have back engineered it and are using it to shape world events today. In fact the oil in the middle east may have been created with the machine. All of this information is readily available, you just have to connect the dots for the picture to emerge.
It is so easy to get caught up in symbols and meanings and miss the great simplicity that enlightenment actually is. Personally I think the Baphomet does a fine job of simplifying entire libraries into one simple form. At first gland it may look like a cockroach monster from hell but of course it is nothing like that at all.
Salam. Peace be with you. Light unto you, brother~π
Glad you liked the video! May peace be with you as well! Thank you for watching!
Wow👍👍thank you so much😊
Solomon means soul of man.
Also Solo Man. Mon comes from Mono meaning one. Soul is sole. Build the temple from the foundation up. Sol is the 5th in Do Re Mi Fa SOL La Ti Do. The golden ratio Phi. we even say Phi in Five like Phive. Sol the 5th is golden. The power chord. Nah mean? It's the same spiral numbers from the Pine cone.
@@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69please...say more
The pine cone back then was used as the pineal gland today the Roman Catholic Church has pine cones but don’t know what they symbolize
Jesus means g is us
I've learned that the story of Jesus is the story of us as individuals and that we too, by use of the pineal gland can be illuminated. Does this sound correct?
Trying to learn the 2nd degree tracing board hoped this was the ritual 😬
The other videos on this channel are different do you have any others??
Peace profound frater! Ty
Peace Profound! 🌹
Powells Book Store? Are from Portland Oregon too?
Johns vision of him being a sleep in his dream revelation is his revelation of Christ and seeing his spiritual body the bronze feet are the aura that we have around our spiritual self.
and who is Christ? I had a dream about the spiral staircase and seeing god like people dressed in white ascending and descending.
@@jessicarangel3436 god is the sun 😂
@@alexchavez3244 I don’t think it is
@@jessicarangel3436 it is that’s why Jesus has a sun in back of his head and the zodiac signs are the apostles with him the 12 and he rises and the sun is the light of the world 😂💀💀🙄
@@jessicarangel3436 go learn allegory and esoteric.
you logically contradict yourself on the pillars. Great drawings
Are you SRIA Brother?
Please remember that the name Solomon is an English derivative of the ORIGINAL Hebrew SHLOMO which derives from the Hebrew for PEACE. Its source language is the 3 letters S L M which you will also find in the capital city of Israel > JERUSALEM and also as indicated below by Ryver with the Arabic SALAAM . It does NOT have any connection with 'soul of man' = TOTAL wishful thinking and TOTALLY INCORRECT. Please always check original sources especially from OT which is written in HEBREW!!!

Thank you
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you like the video! Lots more videos coming soon!
The eye on I see pillar ionic
It’s about the earth.
Have we all forgotten about the ALCHEMICAL WEDDING of the sun "SOL" and "O" the moon "MON" One, Won, and Neo, could say the "O" is the balance POINT between the 2 opposites. Omicron=15
If you knew anything at all then you would know this information is not for the uninitiated. WAKE UP...
I learned this information from Manly P Hall’s books. Those books are public knowledge. I don’t know why Manly P Hall would be given the honorary 33rd degree if he was disseminating secret information that should not have been shared publicly. Lots of people cite Manly P Hall. His entire library of Masonic, Rosicrucian, and alchemical texts is either uploaded or will be uploaded, that’s an amazing resource! Anyone can Google “Manly P Hall library” and get access to a giant trove of incredible books, check it out if you haven’t already! I especially like his rare alchemy books and magical grimoires.
Thank you for watching!
Solomon's name has nothing to do with the sun or moon, since the word "Sol" is from Latin, which originated thousands of years after Solomon allegedly lived. Solomon is derived from "Shalom", meaning peace in Hebrew
Sons of Mary
Soul of Man... sol(sun) in man Son of Man (Jesus)
Great work sir
Sun worship ... self self self .... Gods coming back time to repent or all ur masonic sins.
Oh wow.
Well done.
But aren't these secret teachings, forbidden to be shared?
What is so secret about it.?
Maybe only forbidden to share for those who are initiated🤷♂️
Let him. More than half of his information was wrong anyway
Obviously not a mason
Three paths
Severity is fire side
Beauty is water
Wisdom is a combination of (new) earth and (new) air The center path, the gate perhaps. Three crosses at golgotha (sorry if I misspelled this)
I really like your book. Looks old. Where did you buy it? You'd be an excellent teacher. Great explanation and clear enunciation.
Hey, thank you! I appreciate that! I think this video came out pretty good too, one of my better videos. The book came from Powell’s books downtown Portland, Oregon. It was in their journal area, the only one they had left. They might have one on their website. Thank you for watching!
@@subrosa4792 Ah, you're way up there. Ok. Thank you. I'll check their website and bookstores around me. There are many bookstores around me maybe I'll find one too.
There is no title. It’s a blank journal. The pages were hand drawn by me. I’m unsure of the company that makes the blank journal.
The three men of Hiram abith or three wise men.
I’m not sure if the 3 initiates correspond to the Hiram Abiff story or to the three Magi of the New Testament. I think they are 3 initiates at different places on their spiritual journey. I find it curious that the book “The Kyballion” is written by “Three Initiates” and I think that’s a reference to this tracing board. Thank you for your comments! I appreciate your input and thank you for watching!
Sub Rosa you are right they are the three vices of us that kill our higher self man.
Not regular Masonry.
how come?
This might be on the esoteric side of things and some people are only aware of the exoteric aspects of Masonry.
These teachings aren't exclusive to Masonry, as any spiritual wisdom is not exclusive to any religion, system, or dogma. People can get what they will out of it.
What is it that people are ignorant or enlightened about? If it's self, what about self.
I think it’s much more complicated than that. Some people learn about self through books and videos, others learn about self through intuition. Alan Watts has some great books about getting to know yourself. Best wishes on your journey!
Kris
I’m not sure what your comment means. I thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video! I enjoy getting feedback, feel free to let me know what you thought about the video!
@@subrosa4792 good video. Relaxing
@@subrosa4792 how do you identify spirituality? As some identify with religion? Are you rosecrucian?
the breaking of Solomon down to Sol and Moon is anachronistic. The original name is Hebrew -- Shlomo -- and the words for sun (shamesh) and moon (levannah/yareach) in the original Hebrew language are completely different. Much more of a new agey way of interpreting the name. No real esoteric significance.

Isn’t the “board” actually order and disorder? And the pillars aren’t meant to be something that’s sought to achieve. The understanding is nuanced dependent on the features included. Homie, you’re reading an ingredient list and forgot that you gotta cook. Cook, my dude.
Are you a Mason yourself? Your interpretation isn't wrong or bad, but a lot of it is very much not Masonic. Bringing the Kybalion, etc., into the interpretation is definitely far removed from ancient/Masonic philosophy. I actually resonate with a lot of the symbolism you're introducing (outside of the New Thought stuff), but just so your viewers know that these interpretations are very much your own, and not what you'd necessarily learn in an actual Masonic lodge.
This video is exactly what it seems. Care is the last law of attraction. This is why the freemasons manifest thing's in life such as money. The G in freemason stands for Genere, which is the latin word for Create. Your heart is a generator. When you truly care for something you will generate, create, or manifest conditions you want in live. Humans want conditions. We say we want money, prosperity, peace, fame, health ect. In order to obtain these conditions there are requirements. Requirements exist in order for your conditions to manifest. They dont just magically manifest by themselves. So what are these requirements? Knowledge is required. You need to know certain things. And the freemasons have a lot of knowledge, which i think you interpret them as, people with knowledge. There's a lot more to this. Study the 7 laws of the universe and apply the lost principle which is care. What happens to a seed? It grows. The seed of life, turns into the flower of life. Plant your causes and you will have effects. ~ M.P.
As a Master Mason myself , I can assure all , this guy doesn't have a clue to what the secret meanings of our emblems are...hahaha !
what's the meaning? I had the same dream as Jacob story after meditation and Iv'e never read the story until I googled it. Please explain!
@@TruthHurts907 i just started to see the eye on 2 occasions i don’t feel any threat. It was pretty magical! But I forgot to ask who it was but it told me it will come talk to me again. On UA-cam someone said it was Saturn and someone else said Jesus.
Cutie at this point anyone could tell you anything. Be vigilant and careful who you take information from. There’s people who are Masterminds and will devour you if your foundation isn’t set straight. Just some friendly advice 🙏
You sound a bit arrogant "brother".
