ʻO ke ʻano o nā mea aʻoaʻo mua. He kanaka manuahi. Ke kono aku. Hoʻomākaukau ma ka puʻuwai a no ka hoʻomaka ʻana. Ka lawehala. Aia ka lihi. ʻO ke kīhā ʻehā ʻole. ʻO ka lālā ka naʻau maopopo i ke kino. Nā huakaʻi. ʻO ka mea koi. Nā ʻōkuhi. Oa haawina. ʻO nā kukui nui ʻekolu a me nā kukui liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka mea e aʻo ai ka moho e pili ana i kēia mau hōʻailona. ʻO nā hōʻailona, ​​mau a me nā ʻōlelo. ʻO kahi hōʻailona o ka ʻāpana hulu. ʻO ke kahua o ka hune. ʻO ka Mason he kanaka kūpono. ʻO kāna mau mea hana. Hōʻikeʻike o ka ʻae. Nā hōʻailona a me kā lākou mau kiʻi. I ka olelo. ʻO nā mea maikaʻi ʻehā. ʻO nā mea ono ʻeono. Ka Honua Moku o ka luakini o King Solomona. ʻO ke kumu o nā hōʻailona a me nā hoʻomana.

Ma mua o hiki i kekahi ke lilo i Freemason he manuahi ʻo ia. ʻAʻole hiki ke huki ke kauwā. I ka ʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole pono ia he kauwā ke lilo i ka kuko a me ka manuahi. Pono ʻo ia e ʻoluʻolu e koho i kāna iho ole ka makemake a ʻae ʻia, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia e ke kumu makemake a he makapō i ka kūʻiʻo of ola. ^ E Ha yM. I lilo i Freemason i kūleʻa e pono ke koho e like me ano. ^ E Ha yM. Pono ʻo ia e hana i kekahi mea ʻimi i loko o nā mea pohihihi o ola. ^ E Ha yM. Pono ʻo ia e makemake hou malamalama a e huli aku.

ʻO ka hoʻomākaukau mua e hana ʻia i loko o kona puʻuwai. Ke hoʻopuka nei ʻo ia iā ia iho i lilo i Mason a hoʻomākaukau iā ia iho me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka naʻau pono. Ke hālāwai ʻo Mason me ke kanaka, e manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo ia kekahi, he lālā maikaʻi, lawe mai i ke kamaʻilio e pili ana i nā kumuwaiwai e alakaʻi ai ka luna. makemake e ʻimi e komo i loko o ka lumi. Ma hope o ka noi ʻia ʻana, noiʻi a hōʻike ʻia ʻia, e mākaukau ka moho no ke komo ʻana. Ma hope o kona hōʻoia ʻana i kahi hoʻomākaukau e hoʻomaka ai no ka hoʻomaka ʻana ma ka anteroom o ka hale pule.

Ua ʻoki ʻia ʻo ia i kona ʻaʻahu. ʻO kēlā hui e kū nei no ka lawe ʻana i nā mea e paʻa ai i ka honua o waho, e like me nā mea waiwai a me nā hōʻailona o ka noho a me ka kūlana. Ka mea ke hoʻokaʻawale ia mai ka mea i hala aku nei, i hiki iā ia ke komo i kahi papa hou. A huki ʻia ʻo ia a ʻike ʻia he kāne, ʻaʻole ia he wahine. Aia kahi pāpale a me ka makapō paha e kau ʻia ma luna o kona mau maka, no laila ke manaʻo nei aia ʻo ia i loko o ka pouli, ʻole malamalama, ʻaʻole e loaʻa i kona ʻaoʻao. A laila ʻo ka mea nui loa ʻo ia makemake is malamalama.

ʻO kahi kaula, kahi kāwele kelepona — pono ia he kaula o nā ʻehā nā kihi - i puni iā ​​ia. He hōʻailona ko ia i ka mea paʻa i hoʻokomo ʻia ai nā Allenice, nā mea hana a me nā mīkini āpau i hoʻokumu ʻia ai, hoʻomaka ʻia, hāʻawi ʻia a hāpai ʻia i loko o ka malamalama o Masonry. Kū ka ʻaha kaula-kaula no ke kaula umbilical e hoʻomākaukau ai nā kino āpau no ka hānau. Kū he ku pono na mo ʻike, lohe, hoao aku la, a ʻala ka mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka moho (i ka manaʻo i loko o ke kino) ma hope o ka hānau ʻana, nā mea paʻa iā ia maoli a e alakai ia ia ma ka pouli. ʻO ia e kū ai ʻo Masonry e lawe mai iā ia mai loko mai o ke ao o ka pouli i loko o ka Light. ^ E Ha yM. ʻO ke kāʻei kaulele e kū i ka kaula i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, i loko o kahi kaikunāne o kēlā me kēia ʻano. ʻO ke kelepona-uwila hoʻi ka laina ma ka ka hopena e paa ana i kekahi i Masonry, i naue like, e hanau hou a ke ola hou.

Hoʻomaka ʻo ia hana a huakaʻi ʻole kona hele ʻana, ma ka pouli, e pili ʻia manaʻo kanaka a me kona mau hemahema. Ua manaʻo ʻo ia i ka pā ʻana o kahi mea koi; ua hoʻohua ʻia kona ʻiʻo e hoʻomanaʻo iā ia i ka hōʻeha e kau ai iā ia, a hoʻomau ʻo ia me ka hoʻomau. hana nana e hoʻolaʻa iā ia iho. Ua aʻo ʻia ia ma ke ʻano o ola, me ka mau ia hana e like me ka hopena i ka ʻike. Kāhea ʻo ia ke Akua, kāna ʻO ka Triune Self, ka mea e hoike i kona kuleana a haawi i kana olelo hooki e malama ia ia iho i ka hana. ^ E Ha yM. Ke hoʻomau aku nei iā ia hana pono hou iā ia malamalama, a hoʻike ʻo ia i ka mea āna e nui ai makemake is malamalama. ^ E Ha yM. Hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka wīwī hōʻailona a i ʻole makapō a lawe ʻia mai iā ia malamalama. ^ E Ha yM. I ka hānau ʻana i ka honua ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ke kaula. Pēlā nō ka lawe ʻia ʻana o ka ʻaha Pono i ka malamalama, ʻo ia ka mea paʻa, kahi paʻa kāwele o ke kelepona. A laila ua haʻi ʻia ʻo ia ka Baibala, ʻo ka ʻāpana a me ka pāleʻaleʻa, āna i lawe ai i kāna kuleana a ua hoʻolaʻa ʻo ia iā ia iho, ʻo ia ka mea o ka Lālani nui ʻekolu. ʻO nā kukui ʻekolu e ʻike ʻia, ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia, ʻo ia hoʻi nā makana ʻekolu mau liʻiliʻi: ka lā, ka mahina a me ka Luna o ka Lodge.

Inā mālama ka ʻaha inoa i kāna kuleana, a hana hoʻi i ka hana, i aoʻi ia, e keia hōʻailona, i kona holomua ana, loaʻa iā ia ka Palapala ʻo ke Akua, ka Light o na kukui, ma o kona Kahumahana. ^ E Ha yM. ʻIke ʻo ia ʻo ke ʻano e like me ke aniani ka wehewehe ʻana i kahi laina i kahi mamao i ka neʻe ʻana i ka wai a puni manao, e like me kona mālamalama, mālama i ka kuko a makemake i nā palena a i ana ʻia e ka Kumu a ma kahi e like ana ma o ka ʻoi pololei, ka waena. E aʻo ʻo ia ka mea i ka ʻānela no ka kiʻi ʻana a hōʻoia i nā laina pololei a pau, i hana i nā laina ʻelua i nā kihi ʻae like a kekahi me ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā pae me nā ʻōhuli, no laila ʻo ia wale nō. Hana a pau nā manaʻo a makemake ua hana pololei, waiho ʻia ma ka ʻākau pili kekahi i kekahi a ua hui pū kekahi me kekahi.

E aʻo ʻia ʻo ia ma hope o kona hoʻāla ʻia ʻana, he ʻoiaʻiʻo nā Lila nui ʻekolu hōʻailona o na wahi ekolu o kona ʻO ka Triune Self; ʻo ka Baibala, a i nā palapala hemolele paha, he hōʻailona ia o kāna Kahumahana, ʻo Gnosis ke kumu, e loaʻa ai iā ia ka Maikaʻi; a i ole o nā kumu o ke aniani i lalo o ka hale, pono lākou e kau iā ia i kēlā mālamalama, ʻo ia hoʻi, Pololei, ka akau ahu, a kumu, ke kuhi hema, o ke aniani, e kau i nā palena like, ka akau laina, a i makemake, kahi hema o ka pahu.

E aʻo nō ia aia kahi pilina me ia, i kēia manawa, ʻelua wale nō o nā kukui nui, ʻo ka Baibala a me ka Compass; nā kihi o ka pahu i luna o ka pā; oia hoi, ia like a makemake ʻaʻole kaohi ʻia e kona Pololei a kumu, a oia ke kolu Light, ka kokaa, pouli ka pouli, oia ka Light aole i hiki ia ia like-e-makemake. ^ E Ha yM. O ke kolu Light ua paniia oia ma ka luku ana o ka luakini mua; he hiki wale nō a ʻaʻole ia he maoli maoli Light a kūkulu ʻia ka luakini.

ʻO nā kukui ʻekolu i liʻiliʻi ʻia, ka lā, ka mahina a me ka Luna o ka Lodge e hōʻailona ai i ke kino, like-e-makemake, a me kā lākou manaʻo. ^ E Ha yM. ʻO ka hale kupapaʻu ka kino o ke kanaka. ʻO ka mālamalama no ke kino, ʻo ia hoʻi maoli, o ka la. Hōʻike ka mahina i ka lā. Ka mahina like, ma ia mea ua hōʻike 'ia i nā mea o maoli e ke kino, i kāʻei pono ia maoli a o ke kauwa no waho maoli. ^ E Ha yM. ʻO ke kolu o ka mālamalama ka Haku a i ʻole makemake, aia ʻo ia e pono e hoʻomau a mālama i kona hale, ʻo ia ke kino. O ka manaʻo kino pono e lawelawe e mālama i ke kino a me kona mau maka ʻehā; ka manaʻo nui e kia pono ai ia iho, a i ka manaʻo makemake na ke Luna e hoʻomalu i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā nā manaʻo a me kaohi o ke kino.

ʻO ka ʻona, i ka holomua, loaʻa iā ia nā hōʻailona, ​​ke kahakaha a me nā huaʻōlelo, kahi e hiki ai iā ia ke hōʻoia iā ia iho a i ʻole, i loko o ka malamalama a i loko me ka pouli, a i waena o ia mau mea he Masona, e like me ke kiʻekiʻe o kāna malamalama i loko o Masonry. Ua aʻo ia e hele e like me ke ʻano he Mason, ma ka pāhaha.

Loaʻa ia iā ia kahi ʻāpana hulu, a i ʻoni paha hoʻi, a hōʻailona kona kino kino. ʻO ka mea e aihue ana i ka hipa hipa ma kahi hōʻino o kahi Mason, e hoʻomanaʻo mau iā ia i kēlā maʻemaʻe ola a me ke ʻano e pono ai. Kahu ka ʻohu apron i ka wahi pelvic a a hōʻailona i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia kekahi. E pili i ka moena a ai. ^ E Ha yM. Ke ulu ʻo ia i ka ʻike pono ia e mālama i ke kino ʻaʻole i loko o ka hewa, akā ma ka maʻemaʻe. I ka hiki iā ia ke komo i ka apron ma ke kumu he Master Mason pono, ʻo ke kelepona he kaulike paha a i ʻole akau-ka-triangle ʻili, e kau ana ma luna o ka pā me nā kihi i lalo. ʻO ka apron e like me ka ʻāpana ʻehā e hōʻike i nā ʻehā oihana mua of maoli e hana ana i ke kino ʻehā ma o kāna mau ʻehā ʻehā a me nā ʻōoʻehā ʻehā. Koho ka ʻāpana kūpeʻe ʻehā no nā ʻāpana ʻekolu o ka ʻO ka Triune Self, a he ekolu manaʻo i mau kuikawa no ka ʻO ka Triune Self. ^ E Ha yM. Aia lākou ma luna o ke kino a i ʻole holoʻokoʻa i loko o ke kino i ka hihia o ka ʻenemi, a i loko o ke kino a i loko a i loko o ke ʻano o ka Haku.

Ke noi ʻia nei e kōkua i kahi kumu kūpono e ʻike ai ka ʻona Pelekane ʻo ia, he hiki ʻole ke hana, he kapa kūlohelohe a me kahi mea o ke aloha. Hoʻomaopopo kēia e kōkua i ka poʻe āna e ʻike ai i loko ola a me ka poʻe e pono ana i ka kōkua. Pono ke ʻano e hoʻoilo ai ʻo ia iā ia ʻaʻole he mea ʻokoʻa a emi iki ma mua o ke ʻano o ke kanaka; ua hoʻokolokolo ʻia ʻo ia e ka mea nona a ʻaʻole hoʻi e mālama ʻia i ka lole, nā waiwai, kahi inoa, a i ʻole ke kālā.

Ua ʻae ʻia ʻo ia e hoʻokaʻawale iā ia iho; kau aku la oia i kana apron a laweia aku la imua o ka Haku o ka Halepuni oia nana e kuhikuhi ia ia e ku ana i kana akau lima a ʻōlelo iā ia, he kanaka pololei ʻo ia, he Mason, a koi iā ia e hele mau a hana like. I ka mea he Mason, pono iā ia nā mea hana. Hāʻawi ʻia iā ia nā hana hana o kahi ʻĀmelike ʻo ka iwakāluakūāhā ʻehā kūwalu a me nā hana maʻamau.

The gauge ʻo ka hōʻailona o ka moho? ʻAʻohe ia wale nō me nā hola akā me ka kiko o o ola. ^ E Ha yM. ʻO ka lula ka lula o ola a me ka rula o akau. ^ E Ha yM. ʻO ke kolu o ka mea mua no ka Apono i kona wā e pono ai, ma muli o ka ritika masonic ka mea i hoʻomanaʻo iā ia i kāna mea hana i kona wā ʻōpio. ʻO kēia ka lawelawe o ke Akua, ma ka ʻaʻole ʻole e pau ka mana hana. Pēlā nō ia i kū pono iā ia e hahai i kāna masonic hana i ka lua kekeʻe he Kālepa Hui Pūnaewele. ʻO ia ke kūkulu ʻana i kona kino, ʻaʻole ka hale hana i hana ʻia e nā lima. Na ke kolu hope loa no ka Mason Master e hōʻoluʻolu ʻia e ka mana ʻāpono a me nā mea hana hale.

ʻO ka gavel he ʻōlelo i hana ʻia e hana i nā māka e hana ai i nā kihi nui loa o nā pōhaku makamae e kūpono iā lākou no ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka mea hana, akā, me Mason kikoʻī e kū ana ka gavel. makemake ka mea e hana pono me ka tapahi, a i ʻole ma ke kānāwai o akau, e wehe i nā mea i makemake ʻia a me nā hewa ola e hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka Mason e lilo a lilo i pōhaku ʻalā, kahi ʻalā kūpono, i loko o ka hale pule o ka ʻO ka Triune Self. ^ E Ha yM. ʻO kāna mea mua ola, i mea e lilo ai ʻo ia i ʻaha Hoʻonaʻo, ua ʻōlelo ʻia he mau kihi kihi, kahi e hoʻāi ʻia kahi ala nui o kahi kino kūlohelohe.

Ua haʻi ka ʻona Pelekikena ua hele i Masonry e aʻo e hoʻopaʻa i kāna kuko a hoʻomaikaʻi iā ia iā Masonry. ʻO ia ka palapala no kāna manao. ^ E Ha yM. Ua nīnau ʻia iā ia pehea e ʻike ai iā ia iho paha a pehea pehea e ʻike ʻia ai ʻo Mason, a ke kīnā nei, e hana nō ia ia ma o kekahi mau hōʻailona, ​​he hōʻailona, ​​he huaʻōlelo a me nā ʻano kūpono o kona komo ʻana.

I nā hōʻailona, ​​ʻī ʻo ia akau kūlou, nā horalaha a me nā koina, kahi e kūlike. Ua ʻoi aku kēia mau hōʻailona ma mua o ke ʻano e pae ai a paʻa paha i kona lima.

ka akau nā kihi e nānā ke kuʻina o kona like (laina hoʻokahi) me kāna makemake (ka laina ʻē) i nā hana a pau.

ʻO ke ʻano o ka pae ʻana he kūlike like o kāna moʻo like a o kona makemake.

ʻO nā neoneo pili ia i kāna like a makemake E hāpai ʻia i ka pololei mai ka moʻo ʻana.

He mea nui ke kiʻi. ʻO ke ʻano e pono ia ʻo ia like a me kona makemake me kahi paʻa paʻa, a? o kekahi hoʻi ia like a makemake e hoʻopili pono i kēlā me kēia i ka papa like ʻole a e hōʻike i kēlā me kēia.

He huaʻōlelo ka mea i hoʻohana ʻia i ka ʻenena Hoʻolaha, a hōʻailona. ^ E Ha yM. ʻO nā Lines ka hana i nā leka, a me nā leka i kahi huaʻōlelo. Pono ʻehā mau leka e hana i ka Huaʻōlelo. Hiki i ka ʻaha Hoʻonaona i hoʻokahi leka wale nō, ʻo kēlā leka kēlā A i hana ia i ʻelua mau laina, like a makemake. ^ E Ha yM. Loaʻa ka ʻōlelo ma ka Royal Arch Mason.

ʻO nā kuhi ʻona kūpono o ka puka komo o ka ʻaha ʻĀina. ʻO lākou ʻehā mau kāleka ʻehā nā pono: ke ʻano noho ʻole ka pilikino i ke kaohi ʻana a i ʻole ke kāohi ʻana i nā mea i aloha ʻia a kekahi mea ono; ʻO ka hana nui ka wiwo ʻole mau, ahonui a ʻo ka hoʻomanawanui ʻole ma waho makau pōʻino; ʻo ke ʻano noʻonoʻo akamai in akau manao a i ka hana o akau hana; a ka hoopai no ka ike o ka kuleana o ka poe a me na mea e ae, a i manao a hana e like me ia ʻike.

E aʻo ka moho e pili ana i nā maʻa. ʻEono mau mea kālā, ʻekolu mau neʻe, ʻo ia ka hiwi palupalu, ka mea kūʻai ʻohu kūpono, a me ka papa trestle. ʻO ka luʻu palupalu ka hōʻailona o ke kino make kino o keia manawa; ka mīkini palekele ka momona hōʻailona o ke kino kino ma hope iho o ka pau ʻana o ka pau ʻana, a me ka trestle-board i hōʻailona o ka ka hopena, kahi e kauhaʻi ʻia ai nā hoʻolālā o ka hale. ʻO kēia mau mea kahakai ʻekolu i kapa ʻia e movable no ka mea pau lākou ma hope o kēlā me kēia ola lawe ʻia ola i ola. ^ E Ha yM. ʻO nā mea i hoʻoweliweli ʻole loa i ka square, ka pae a me ka pala. ʻO ka wahī e hōʻailona ana makemake, pae like a me na palulu ano o ke kumu o ke kino maikai aia maluna o ka hopena. ^ E Ha yM. Kāhea ʻia kēia ʻekolu i ka hala ʻole, no ka mea ʻO ka Triune Self a aole make e make.

ʻO ka Degree ʻokoʻa, ka mea i komo i ka ʻaha inoa, e pili ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana iā ia iho e Hana of like-e-makemake. ^ E Ha yM. Hana ʻia kēia ma ka kahua kiʻekiʻe o ka luakini o Solomona, ʻo ia hoʻi, ma kāna wahi pelvic. E hoʻomākaukau mua ka ʻona likena iā ia iho i loko o kona puʻuwai, a laila ua mākaukau ʻo ia no ka hoʻomaka ʻana ma ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana mai kona wā o mua. Ma hope o kona huakaʻi ʻana, ua lawe ʻia mai malamalama, ua loaʻa iā ia kekahi mau ʻike e pili ana i nā Lalamʻo nui ʻekolu ma o nā kukui ʻekolu, ua loaʻa i kāna ʻāpana keokeo, ua ʻaʻahu hou ʻia a ʻike ia i ka hōkū e kuhi ʻia ana, ua hāʻawi ʻia nā mea hana o kahi ʻāpana i komo a laila hana i kekahi mau ʻōlelo kike. O ka holo āpau hōʻailona a ua manaʻo ʻia nā hanana hana e manaʻo nui ai i nā mea e hana ai me kāna makemake a me ka hoʻohana ʻana o kāna makemake-manao, manaʻo nui, a manaʻo kino i kana hana ana ia ia iho, na hoahanau, a me na ke Akua.
