George Washington ( February 22 1732- December14 1799), a young Virginia planter, becomes a Master Mason in the fraternity of Freemasonry.

The ceremony was held at the Masonic Lodge No. 4 in Virginia. Washington was 21old and would soon command his first military operation as a major in the Virginia colonial militia.
After becoming a Master Mason, Washington had the option of passing through a series of additional rites that would take him to higher “degrees.” In 1788, shortly before becoming the first president of the United States, Washington was elected the first Worshipful Master of Alexandria Lodge No. 22.

A Masonic Bible is in most cases a regular King James Bible, containing both Old and New Testaments, with some pages at the beginning describing Freemasonry and how different passages in the Bible relate to different ritual and history of the Fraternity. Take away that section, and it is simply an edition of the King James Bible.

It has been claimed by some that Albert Pike's book, Morals and Dogma, is a Masonic Bible.
It have commemoration pages for different degrees so that large brothers that participated can sign. It'll have some back history in Freemasonry. There's a little frequently asked questions section as well as a dictionary for different Masonic terms and some pages with different art. Then after that it'll be your standard 1611 King James version Bible at the very end I believe there's an index and glossary.

الماسونيون هم البناؤون الأحرار.. وقد رفع الماسونيون ستار الحرية والمساواة والإخاء.. هذه الجمعية السرية التي ظهرت قبل الميلاد، ولا تزال تمارس نشاطها في بلاد العالم بعد أن استطاعت عبر مئات السنين استقطاب الكثيرين الي صفوفها من مفكرين وادباء ورجال اعمال و قادة الدول المختلفة. فهناك ما يزيد على ستة آلاف محفل ماسوني عالمياً. يتشارك أفرادها عقائد وأفكار واحدة فيما يخص الأخلاق، الميتافيزيقيا وتفسير الكون والحياة والإيمان بالخالق (إلله).
معني الماسونية: FreeMason الكلمة انكليزية »Free« ترجمتها الحر و Mason تعني »الباني« وجمعها البناؤون ( البناؤون الأحرار)، وقد رفع الماسونيون شعار الحرية والمساواة والاخاء، وقد وضعت لها رموزا خاصة بها وطقوسا اتسمت بالسرية، فأصبحت منظمة سرية.
يقول الماسونيون أن عقيدتهم ورموزهم ودرجاتهم في الماسونية بدأت من لبنان وانتشرت عالميأ والبعض بقول انها قد تكون من أصل فرعوني مصري، انتقلت الى بلاد البحر المتوسط منذ القِدم بأرض مصر ونقلوها معهم حين خرجوا منها في عهد موسى عليه السلام.
تعليمات الماسونية هي تعليمات شفوية غير مدونة، ولذلك فهي سرية لا يعلمها إلا الخاصة.
تتكون الماسونية من درجات ويترقى الماسوني من الدرجة الاولى الى الاعلى حسب جدارته وكفاءته. فهي ذات ثلاث وثلاثون درجة رمزية غايتها الارتقاء بالفكر البشري وممارسة الأعمال الخيرية وتعلم التساهل الدفين وعدم التعصب لدين معين، فالأديان في نظرها متساوية.
الماسونية لها العديد من الرموز. أشهرها هي الزاوية والبركار. ولهذا الرمز معنيان: معنى بسيط والذي يدل على حرفة البناء. معنى باطني والذي يدل على علاقة الخالق بالمخلوق، إذ يرمز إلى زاويتين متقابلتين: الأولى تدل على اتجاه من أسفل إلى أعلى ويرمز إلى علاقة الأرض بالسماء، والأخرى من أعلى إلى أسفل ليدل على علاقة السماء بالأرض.

Freemasonry is Simple:
Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth!
Masonry, the world's oldest and most respected Fraternity, encourages good men to become better men by promoting a life devoted to high ideals, community service and benevolence.

Men of every race and religion become Freemasons. Each has a personal belief in a Supreme Being and a determination to conduct himself in a manner that will earn the respect and trust of others.

Any man who becomes a Mason is taught a pattern for living - reverence, morality, kindness, honesty, dependability and compassion. He must be prepared to honour his country, uphold its laws and respect those in authority.

The doors of Freemasonry are always open to men who seek harmony with their fellow man, feel the need for self-improvement and wish to participate in making this world a better place to live.

It teaches kindness in the home, honesty in business, courtesy in society, fairness in work, pity and concern for the unfortunate, resistance toward evil, help for the weak, forgiveness for the penitent, love for one another, and above all, reverence and love for God.

These principles are so universal to the basis of a working society that they are an essential way of life for each of its members.

The general work associated with the purpose of Freemasonry, put simply, is to provide an environment where good men can come together to pursue meaningful intellectual and spiritual growth.

To Become a Member:
One of Freemasonry's customs is not to solicit members; in fact, recruiting is simply not allowed. Anyone, however, should feel free to approach any Mason to seek further information about the Craft.
Membership is for working men, 21 years of age or older, who meet the qualifications and standards of character and reputation, who are of good moral character, and who believe in the existence of a supreme being.

A man who wants to join a lodge must apply in person. He must understand that his character will be investigated.
After approval by the members of that lodge, he will be accepted as an applicant for membership in Freemasonry.

Dear Brethren and friends,

This year, Easter is different for many of us but by keeping apart, we keep others safe.
Let us try, if we can, to make the best use of this time: let us be generous, let us help those in need in our societies, let us pray to the Great Architect of the Universe for those who are in difficulty…
Even if we are isolated, thought and spirit can go far with the creativity of love. This is what we need today - the creativity of love.
Happy Easter to All.
So Mote It Be...

World Autism Awareness Day.

World Autism Awareness Day is an internationally recognised day on the 2nd of April every year, encouraging Member States of the United Nations to take measures to raise awareness about children with autism throughout the world.
There are ways to have conversations with autistic kids and you can make them easier by keeping the following tips in mind.

1. DO Make the Effort to Talk To Them!
Because talking to kids with autism can be difficult, many adults take the easy way out and just avoid including them in conversations in the first place. But that’s a mistake; both you and those children can benefit from attempts at conversation, even if they are not always successful.

There’s also a tendency to assume that if an autistic child doesn’t respond or shuts you down that they don’t like you or don’t want to talk. But that’s not always the case; that signal would be clear from a neurotypical individual but for someone with ASD, it’s just a part of the syndrome. Don’t take it personally, and don’t stop trying to gently involve autistic kids in your conversations. They probably want to engage, they just have more difficulty figuring out how.

2. Pick Your Moments!
Not just any time is the right time to talk to an autistic child. Many of them have very particular schedules and rhythms to their behavior. If you interrupt them when they are deeply involved in something else, you’re not likely to get through and engage them as you had hoped to.

Similarly, it’s often not a good time to engage when the child is already wound up about something. Excessive stimuli can cause children with ASD to shut down. Wait for a calm and quiet moment if you want to have a conversation.

3. Talk About What They Want To Talk About!
One approach that will never get you far with an autistic kid is to try to force the conversation in a direction you want it to go. At best you’ll get ignored; at worst, they’ll shut down or have an outburst.

Obsessions are part of the syndrome and an obsession means a lot of discussion about one particular thing. You might find it boring or simple but you’ll find far more engagement by sticking to the topic that the child wants to discuss.

4. Keep It To the Point!
Stay away from allusions, metaphors, or any abstract statements. Autistic kids generally will not be able to interpret any kind of communication that relies on reading your internal emotional state or any kind of subtext.
Keep your sentences short and direct.
Autistic kids have to work to parse out what they hear, however. Give them the time they need to do it.

5. If Speaking Doesn’t Work, Try Writing!
If you get to sticking points in the conversation, try restating what you just said on paper. Draw a picture or write the words down and show them. ASD patients tend to think visually, so even if they don’t immediately understand what they just heard, they might get the same message if you put it on paper so they can see it.

6. Pay Attention To Non-Verbal Signals!
Because autistic kids can have a lot of trouble manipulating language as well as understanding it, they often develop various types of behaviors that signal things that you might expect them to verbalize. Certain motions or actions they use while speaking might tell you more than the words they say if you pay attention and learn to interpret them.

7. Remember They Are Just Kids!
Autistic kids may not act a lot like neurotypical children, but remember you’re still talking to someone whose thoughts and attitudes are being formed in an immature brain.

With a little practice, you may find that you can talk to autistic kids just as easily as any kid. The results, for both you and the child, can be both positive in terms of their development of communication skills and enjoyable as you make an interpersonal connection.
