Lucifer was the brightest of the Archangels, but he had a huge chip on his shoulder. He wasn’t on board with the idea of everything moving towards Unity and Oneness which is the plan of Divinity and overall destiny of the Multiverse, because he feared that this would lead to no individuality — He didn’t understand that he could be One with everything and also retain his uniqueness and I’m pretty sure that this is also due to the wound at the center of his creation.
What he actually feared was becoming one with his Creator because it would mean having to resolve his core trauma, something that’s scary for anyone. To be fair, Divinity didn’t understand at this point the responsibility it had in forming this trauma in the first place.
THE TRACING BOARD OF ORDER 44
This is not decoration. It is a map.
The Tracing Board of Order 44 gathers the symbolic architecture of The Nocturnal Network into a single field: the threshold, the key, the cube, the scales, the sacred numbers, the passage of time, and the Hounds who guard the way forward.
Each symbol marks a different stage of the journey—perception, balance, initiation, confrontation, and the movement beyond the limits of the reality you inherited.
You are not asked to believe what you see.
You are asked to decode it.
Enter Order 44 and experience the Chambers of The Nocturnal Network.
Link in bio. The Temple Never Closes.
The Lodge is a temple of measure. Its pillars, lights, angles, and movements are disposed according to an order which extends from the pavement beneath the Mason's feet to the solemn architecture of the heavens.
Among the more suggestive interpretations of Masonic symbolism is that which regards Boaz and Jachin as allegorical representatives of the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, the two great limits between which the sun appears to perform its annual course.
At the summer solstice the sun attains the Tropic of Cancer, the northern boundary of its yearly progress. There it reaches the height of its ascent and begins its passage southward. At the winter solstice it arrives at the Tropic of Capricorn, the southern limit, and from that station commences once again its return toward the north.
Thus the whole solar year is comprehended within these two bounds.
Under this interpretation, the pillars assume the character of celestial landmarks. Between them moves the great luminary of the day, advancing and retiring, increasing and diminishing, yet always obedient to a fixed and intelligible law. Their stability corresponds with the constancy of that law, while the solar passage between them becomes an image of ordered movement within appointed limits.
The symbolism accords naturally with the ancient conception of the temple as an image of the cosmos. The pavement represents the field of earthly labor. The vaulted canopy directs the mind toward the heavens. The East and West recall the daily course of light. The pillars establish boundaries. The compasses describe proportion and circumference. The square governs the work of man according to rectitude and measure.
Boaz and Jachin may therefore be contemplated as the two great stations of the solar pilgrimage, standing at the extremities of increase and decrease. The sun reaches the fullness of summer and immediately begins its decline. It sinks toward the darkness of winter and there begins its restoration. Light and shadow, ascent and descent, activity and repose proceed according to a rhythm established in the very constitution of the heavens.
To the Mason, such an arrangement possesses an evident moral dignity.
Human life likewise requires measure. Passion must be governed within proper bounds. Ambition must submit to proportion. Conduct must answer to justice. The powers of the soul must be disciplined by conscience, reason, and obligation.
The sun moves between Cancer and Capricorn according to celestial law.
The Mason passes between Boaz and Jachin beneath the same great lesson: that strength, establishment, and right order arise when life is governed by measure.
