Try to meditate, even while walking or doing some other activity. The Way of the Heart is truly Ineffable. We focus a lot on seeking Wisdom, on building Strength of character, body, mind and purpose... ...but how often do we really take the time to appreciate the Beauty which He hath wrought?
Hello From The UK. From Bro. Rick Kirkby Of The Old Bridlingtonian Lodge 6843... Also A Mark Master Mason & Royal Arch Mason, Soon To Be A Scottish Rite Mason Also. I Keep In Contact With The Brothers, Most Days... I Try To Learn New Things, Maybe Not Every Day, But I Do Watch & Try To Answer TV Quiz Questions, Everyday... So I Guess I Try, To Learn Something New Each Day... I Must Pray More... All The Best Brother(s)
Osceola Lodge 515, Osceola Mills, PA. Everyday I try to treat everyone I meet with respect. Regardless of their attitude, demeanor, or the way they treat me. I take being honest very seriously and I attempt to avoid unnecessary conflict at all Costs. I've been told I'm very good at all of these by multiple people and that they wish they could have the calm demeanor that I carry everyday. I tell them there is always room for improvement and that it's not always easy being the good guy.
White House Lodge No. 700, Valley of Nashville. Greetings, Brothers. I am thankful for so many of God’s blessings, too many to count! Masonry and Scottish Rite have truly helped me become a better man. As for my daily practices, Prayer, learn something new from the Blue Book, read a chapter in M&D, or participate in a meeting. Thank you Bro. Maynard, you are a Blessing to us all!
I have found myself growing closer to god since i became a mason, it actually got me back into church as well. and every few days i at least talk to one or two of my brothers from lodge. My wish in this life time is when my days are done my kids and grand kids can look back and see what a difference masonry changed me and the way i looked at things in life. and hopefully i made an impact in their life to hopefully one day they would take it upon themselfs to knock on the door.
Biltmore lodge #446 Asheville NC. I try every day to come up with ways that I can be of greater importance to my lodge, my brothers, and our communities
Thank u, fellas. Hope ur all having a great Thanksgiving... I for one am eternally grateful and thankful for all the help... And the hell... That so many folks both seen and unseen have done to help me along my journey in life. It's not wasted or unappreciated. Thank you all with all my heart. I love you guys.
Nice content. I've always felt compelled to pursue the greatest interests of mankind, to wit. A way to be influential, powerful and protected. always felt the need to be recognized wherever i go, not because i am proud or clamorous but because of who i am and what i represent. The inner me is gasping to find out more knowledge about the human race and about the things that not everyone is destined to know. I wish to blossom into the enlightenment that our forebears wanted so desperately for us to gain.
well i think your feeling is kinda understandable, it's really just you been human. If you really seek enlightenment you can achieve that and so much more by joining the Illuminatus. I know it sounds mythical, but there are ways you can actually get in
yeah that's intentional, i mean that's what they want you to think. if you need to get more enlightened on the subject, look up Anthony Rogers Szymon. Will help you get more clarity and answers.
@@tinomccormick21o Do not fall for this. If you're looking to join the masons simply Google your city and state (if in America) and Freemasons if any is in your town it'll show you. Go to the lodge and ask about joining I assure you leaving a message for someone is not the way lol.
I am a 4th generation Mason. A member of York Rite. Past High Priest, Past Thrice Illustrious Master and Commander of Palestine Commandry 11 in New Hampshire. A Knight Mason and York Rite College. My next step will be joining Scottish Rite as my grandfather became a member the 1940s. It is extremely important to pray every day, to call our older members that we don't see at meetings and to strive to improve our selves,
do you masons not swear oaths in your ceremonies? Jesus Christ said in Matt.5;34 swear not by anything. also linking yourselves to non christians in worship is Wrong. do you not know who the sons of Ishamel are? Jesus had no secrets and masonry is wrong!
I'm a licensed massage therapist. Everyday I help people to feel better. I try to give every client my full presence, share my knowledge, and truly connect the mind with the body for a moment.
I just returned my fellowcraft catechism recently. I came across your videos very recently. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and most importantly clearing and answering many questions I had and was not sure how to ask them. Thank you so very much
Eugene Lodge 11, Eugene Valley 32* Great reminders! I know I'm doing well if I'm doing these daily, Yoga/exercise, reading, journaling and practicing temperance. Always wake with gratitude and reflect nightly.
Greetings and warm wishes from a fellow Oregonian who isn't a Brother but is intrigued by the little bit of info he's garnered about the Craft (2 great grandfathers were AASR).
Illinois Douglas Lodge #361 Every day I practice the golden rule of treating people the way I want to be treated, as well as always being ready to help the unfortunate in need.
Thank you for this as someone who has just joined NMJ AASR out of the valley of biinghamton new york I feel like this advice is amazing not only for masons but for anyone seeking to have a better quality of life overall.
Love your channel and it is one of the reasons I’ve take the first step in becoming a Freemason. I recently visited my local Lodge, one of many in West Lothian, Scotland, as they were having an open evening, met the brethren and filled out the application form. Some of the Masons knew my Grandfather and Uncle who were both in the same lodge. I’m just waiting to hear back from them and begin the process.
I totally agree with you. Every morning i give thanks and during the day before i go to sleep I give thanks because I know without God's help would not be where I am today or accomplish anything I have now. Great advise thank you brother.
1962 6th grade teacher said no matter where you are in the world a man is at his best when he is praying to his GOD. Never forgot her saying that can still see that class room. Learn to love the little things in this world first then you can learn to love GOD the creator of all things Great video.
Brother, South Mississippi here... I gotta say the very first thing you said about prayer first thing in the morning and in the evening made me tear up a little. I needed to hear that. I normally do on the regular but it's more of a habit when I need and not always to the level you mention. I needed to hear that. I will now resume the rest of the vid and am subscribed as of now. If one wanted to contact you how might one? Thanks again, I hope soon to be a Freemason brother as well.
#3 is close to one of my favorite things to do. I like to tell other brother to tell each other that you love them and to say it often...and make it weird. We need those connections.
I enjoyed this brief "walk in the woods" with you. Numbers 1, 2, and 4 are things that I've done for a long time. Number 3 is a bit more challenging for my more introverted personality. Though I've done a number of outgoing things in Masonry, it's not my comfort zone to initiate contacts "out of the blue". I'll have to ponder this for awhile.
Really great info. I been practicing these every day since I got initiated in 2015 and I’ve grown so much and made so much progress in life and personal development. It’s something that came naturally after initiation and seeing you talk about it just confirms it.
That truly helped me, brother! Im a MM at Richmond Lodge 412 in Hephzibah, Georgia. And a 32° Scottish Rite mason from The Valley of Augusta Orient of Georiga.
Bro Edwards, I admire your dedication and love this channel. As you can see, you are followed even her in Namibia. May everything good happen to you, all of our brethren where ever they may be...., and those closest to you. Ill Bro Dr HC Strauss.
Great video my Brother! These are the lessons I grew up learning as a child. At least 3 of the 4. My Father was a Scottish Rite Mason for as long as I can remember. He joined Iron Springs Lodge in Little Rock, Arkansas. When I joined, I joined a York Rite Lodge here in Louisiana. My Father and brother both worked in the conferring of all 3 of my degrees. I was then taught the 4th. I raised my children on 3 of your suggestions as was I. God bless my Brothers and peace be with you! Silent Brotherhood Lodge #146. R.W. S. Hester DDGM 6th Masonic District, Grand Lodge State of Louisiana
Excellent thoughts for us to add into our daily routines my Brother! I usually end up doing a bit of combining #1 and #4 in my daily routines! It really helps me start and end my days in a positive manner. David D. Mattock #87
Just came across your videos Brother. Great content, I look forward watching your previous videos l as well as the ones to come. As I'm watching this, 2023 is coming to a close, and the start of all the "resolutions" are in full swing. For me I try to purposely seek wisdom, discernment, and how I can lend a helping hand daily. Bay Minette #498
Love Love Love this! Thank you so much for making this video Brother! Everyday, giving thanks, lighting the lamp to learn, reaching out to Brothers with the contagious spirit of love and reflecting on the golden verses of how we can do it better again tomorrow! This simple and beautiful video states the intention, embodiment, and merit of the craft I love so much! HEAR HEAR! #123, Santa Rosa Valley
Brother Maynard, thank you so much for your teachings via this channel. I am a master Mason but drive over the road and not able to attend lodge like I want. However, I try to be kind to everyone no matter what the circumstance. I often see other brothers talk harshly or down to other people. It appalls me to see that. The brothers acting as if they are better than anyone else. These certain ones are in the shrine too though. Thanks again. May God keep you and guide you all of your days.
Thanks for your kind words. Lets all pray every Mason does his best to live up to our promises to God, our neighbor and ourselves. We all fall short of the Glory Brother!
Thanks for the video and being willing to walk that path and share your thoughts. Shout Out to The Valley of Stockton, Orient of California. And my humble Blue Lodge; Volcano Consolidated Lodge No. 56 in Amador County, California.
Valley of Reading, Lodge #665 PA MM. Pray ( Give all thanks and thoughts to God) Meditate for 2-5 minutes Read a chapter of Proverbs throughout the day End the day with contemplation and thanksgiving. This has transformed my life.
This is good advice for any man in general. I am not a mason but I have been approached to join. I pray everyday. Do something to improve myself and reflect upon my day. Thank you for your wisdom and a good video.
Great video, Brother! I do every one of these daily except the third one, which I'm now, having had watched this, incorporating. Shout out to Seattle Valley, but now living in SLC.
My uncle was a MM and a police officer would come by our house and they would sit in the car for hours talking we never knew what they spoke about but he always was in good spirits
Great video my brother. "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Thoreau
I don't know why your videos keep showing up in my feeds, but as an open minding individual, I watch, and although I still believe certain things about your fraternal organizations. I have to admit, this one, is probably the best so far. Anyways, have a great day.
Listen to a new genre of music, a new song, try a new food, taste a new flavor, a new spice, a new fruit, feel a new feeling, sobriety, try eating no meat, no dairy, no gluten, no sugar, no fast food, no nicotine, no caffeine, no chemicals in cleaning products... removing things is something new to try everyday because it is making room for new energies to enter your mind. New perspective. Those who work with Protractors and Angles, know the Sacred Geometry of Protectors and Angels. π
Enjoyed this very much. My son-in-law is very proud of his Scottish heritage, also an Eagle Scout. Is now studying and considering presenting himself for membership. 🎉
Fantastic! Really enjoyed this video. Great advice. Well presented. Grateful I stumbled on to your channel. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. 👍
Great video and great reminder/tips of the things we should be implementing in our lives! And since I am from the mountains of Western North Carolina, any day in the woods is a good day!

Thank you for sharing this video brother , I’ve been struggling lately, and as simple as it sounds this is something that I should do, I pray every morning , but all of the other tips are practical and as simple as they sound and should be obvious I needed to be reminded of it thank you for sharing , Gos bless you ..

Hello i AM a scottish rite masón 33 and what this brother said is very important. Here in México ,Cancún,we teach our members to apply our teachings in their daily life with Friends and family also with their coworker SO their little can be seen . I do it. Name : Eloy Cocom 33, Cancún,México.
Amen!🙇♂ I am a son who believes in the one God, Yahweh, the Creator, and I am a Messianic Jew in South Korea. I grew up in an Eastern philosophy family that believed in Buddhism. So, to cultivate your mind, you also practice your mind at the temple.🕵♀ Buddhist statues are just stone or iron and are not worshiped. The truth is always veiled.💌 I recently joined the Busan Lodge of Freemasonry Korea. To become Becomes The Good Man, we will work hard to give thanks to God and work together in brotherly love without discriminating against people of different religions.🌞 thank you. sir.🙇♂
This is very benefits for me as an apprentice Masson. It all about making good men better. I'm proud of being a Masson on Egyptian rite but I would like to know more about the Scottish rite aswell. I believe masonry is the best way to life in life
Greetings brother!... great video.. I've personally found that I myself have gotten closer to our lord and Savior jesus Christ since becoming a Mason..great insight..shout out to my mother lodge.. Oriental 20 out of Mesa, Arizona!
Try to ponder and reflect on the hidden mysteries, and use the gift of our Masonic symbols to achieve this goal. Thanks for the great videos, Brother. Here in British Columbia as a DDGM in our Grand Lodge.
Greetings brother! I’m Jeff a master mason from the Great state of South Carolina AFM,just wanted to say hello and thank you for this video! I needed it!!! Happy thanksgiving!!!
Mirror work. Look at you in the mirror everyday, tell you all the good things you did, tell yourself what is important in life, God, family, friends, helping others, develop relationships, love your brothers and sisters, forgive those who have hurt you, and keep focusing on the path of your higher self calling, staying away from the distractions.
Thank you, Brother. Needed to hear your words today. My home lodge (Mitchell 81) is some 3,000 miles from where I live now, in San Francisco. I was raised there in 2018 and went on the road in April of '22 before settling in the Bay. In the summer if that same year, the lodge hall I was raised in was destroyed by a fire. I haven't been inside a lodge since before then and this video has shaken something within. If there are any Brothers in NorCal, I would love to connect and to reconnect with a lodge. It's been too long.
Brethren! Make sure you shout out your Lodge and what is something you always try to do every day as a Mason?
Try to meditate, even while walking or doing some other activity. The Way of the Heart is truly Ineffable. We focus a lot on seeking Wisdom, on building Strength of character, body, mind and purpose...

Brother, South Mississippi here...
I gotta say the very first thing you said about prayer first thing in the morning and in the evening made me tear up a little. I needed to hear that.
I normally do on the regular but it's more of a habit when I need and not always to the level you mention.
I needed to hear that.
I will now resume the rest of the vid and am subscribed as of now.
If one wanted to contact you how might one?
Thanks again, I hope soon to be a Freemason brother as well.
If you need help finding a lodge let us know. We know lots of good brothers in Mississippi!
#3 is close to one of my favorite things to do. I like to tell other brother to tell each other that you love them and to say it often...and make it weird. We need those connections.
Action, thinking, word, choice, feeling.
Number three is the most important, and a good reminder.
Number four supports that as well.
This is an excellent video, great advice, brother, and personally I like the walking in the woods.
I what to join
I enjoyed this brief "walk in the woods" with you. Numbers 1, 2, and 4 are things that I've done for a long time. Number 3 is a bit more challenging for my more introverted personality. Though I've done a number of outgoing things in Masonry, it's not my comfort zone to initiate contacts "out of the blue". I'll have to ponder this for awhile.
Great point. Can you imagine how much better our world would be if more and more people follow these 4 principles?
We all need to be the change we want to see in the world.
Not a brother, but just came to tell your editing and this whole presentation in the woods is well done. Stay strong all!
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed. Hope you will subscribe!

I am a son who believes in the one God, Yahweh, the Creator, and I am a Messianic Jew in South Korea.
I grew up in an Eastern philosophy family that believed in Buddhism.
So, to cultivate your mind, you also practice your mind at the temple.🕵♀
Buddhist statues are just stone or iron and are not worshiped.
The truth is always veiled.💌
I recently joined the Busan Lodge of Freemasonry Korea.
To become Becomes The Good Man, we will work hard to give thanks to God and work together in brotherly love without discriminating against people of different religions.🌞
thank you. sir.🙇♂
define oxymoron the jews killed the messiah and crucified them ther is no such thing as a "messenic jew "
Thank you Brother for posting such a beautiful and inspiring video.

This is very benefits for me as an apprentice Masson. It all about making good men better. I'm proud of being a Masson on Egyptian rite but I would like to know more about the Scottish rite aswell. I believe masonry is the best way to life in life

Mirror work. Look at you in the mirror everyday, tell you all the good things you did, tell yourself what is important in life, God, family, friends, helping others, develop relationships, love your brothers and sisters, forgive those who have hurt you, and keep focusing on the path of your higher self calling, staying away from the distractions.
Ha, thanks Brother…. Greetings from Scottsdale 43. Nothing wrong with walking in the woods, great way to connect with /G\.

Great work! Buckeye Lodge#150 & Valley of Cincinnati.
Thank you. I learned a lot from the video. I also needed that. 🌿☠️
Thank you, Brother. Needed to hear your words today. My home lodge (Mitchell 81) is some 3,000 miles from where I live now, in San Francisco. I was raised there in 2018 and went on the road in April of '22 before settling in the Bay. In the summer if that same year, the lodge hall I was raised in was destroyed by a fire. I haven't been inside a lodge since before then and this video has shaken something within. If there are any Brothers in NorCal, I would love to connect and to reconnect with a lodge. It's been too long.
Email me at membership@scottishrite.org and we will help you get connected Brother.
I must confess that Iam failing in No.1 & 3,No.2 and 4 I practice a lot.
Ha ha… that was very funny at the end!
Great video! ...we use your videos in lodge for educational moments.
