Levels of the Human Being

Uncategorized No Comments »

A few years ago, a search engine came up to a Master of Arts Real (true Mystic) and asked him:

- Teacher, would like to know why humans war itself and can not understand why, for most who claim to be seeking peace and understanding, as much as preach love and more claiming to abhor the Hate ?

- This is a very serious question. Generations and generations have done and did not get a satisfactory answer, for not realizing that everything is a question of evolutionary level. The vast majority of humanity on planet Earth is currently living at level 1. Many others at level 2 and some others at level 3. That is the great majority. Some few people ever reach the level 4, very few level 5, level 6 rare and only a thousand one in a thousand years appears to have the level 7.

- But Master, what levels are these?

- Do not explain them any good, because besides not understand, too soon then you forget them and just forget also the explanation. So I would take him on a mental journey, to carry out a series of experiments and there, so I'm sure you will experience and know exactly what those levels, each of them, in all its details.

Placed, then the tips of two fingers on the forehead of the asker, and immediately both were in another place, another dimension of Space and Time. The place was a kind of wood, and a man approached them. When you get closer, "said the Master:

- Give him a slap in the face.

- But why? He did not make me anything ...

- Part of the experiment. Give him a slap, not very strong, but give him a slap!

And the man came closer to the Master and the asker. This, then, came to the man, asked him to stop and, without warning, gave him a slap that popped. Immediately, as if made of spring, the unknown retaliated with a barrage of punches and was consultant to the ground because of an unexpected ataque.Instantaneamente, as if by magic, the teacher and consultant were already in another place, very similar the first and another man approached. The Master then said:

- Now you know how a man reacts to level 1. Do not think. Age mechanically. Retaliates without thinking. He learned to act this way and that learning is all for it, is what guides your life, is his "crutch." Now you will test the same way, our partner who is coming from level 2. When the man approached, the consultant asked her to stop and gave him a slap. The man was startled, looked at the asker, measured it from top to bottom, and without saying anything, retaliated with a slap, a little stronger. Instantly, they were already somewhere else very similar to the first.

- Now you know how a man reacts Level 2: think a little, superficially analyzes the situation, if there is up to the opponent and there, then retaliate.

If he deems to be weaker, not retaliate immediately, since it will retaliate for treason. It is still carried by the same kind of "crutch" used by men than 1. Only it looks a bit more things and facts of life. Got it? Repeat the same with that one who is getting the level 3. The scene repeated itself. Upon receiving the slap, the man stopped, looked at the asker and spoke thus:

- What is it, boy? I deserve an explanation, right? If I do not explain why straight hit me, it'll take a beating! I'm serious!

- Master and I are holding a series of experiments and this experiment consists in doing exactly what I did, or beating people to see how they react .- And they want to see how I react?

- Yes exactly that ...

- Have you noticed that it is meaningless?

- Why not? We have learned great lessons from the reactions of others. We want to know what lesson you will teach us ...

- Not yet realized that it makes no sense? Why hurt people so free?
- We want to verify - interfered with the Master - the more immediate reactions and primitive people. Do you have any suggestions or can fathom any alternatives?

- Currently, there is no me. One thing though, I'm sure. This test is very barbaric, because it attacks the other. I am really very frightened and shocked by this action of you who seem intelligent and sensible people. Surely, there must be something less aggressive and more intelligent. Do not you think?

- Well - said the web - how will you react? Will retaliate? Or will teach us another way to get to learn what we want?

- I do not know if I keep arguing with you, because I think I'm wasting my time. They are two crazy people and have more important things to do than to talk with two nuts. After all, my time is too precious and I will not spoil it with you. When you find someone who is not as wise and patient as I will learn what is harm free people. What else, somewhere else, retribution for me. I will not even waste my time with you, is it worth my effort ... They are a perfect idiot ... Just imagine, slapping the other bullshit ... ... ... Idiocy Lack of what to do ... The bottom of the form. And they want to convince me that they are seeking knowledge. Picks! This is what you are! Some picks! A quack!

Immediately, the scene went off and were already in another moon, much like everyone else. Then the Master said:

- Now you know how to act the man of the Level 3 likes to analyze the situation, discuss the details, criticizing everything, but provides no solution or alternative, since it still uses the same "crutches" that the previous two also wore .

Prefer to leave it all there, because no time to be bored with the action who prefers to leave to others. It is a scholar and theorist who talks a lot but it acts very little and presents no solution to any problem, except the most obvious and yet, look ... there is a poor mad, full of erudition, that the judge " Owner of Truth, "which he is very" understanding "and claiming to know everything and only criticize. It is the most dangerous of all, because usually hold positions of command, because it is usually the bearer of a university degree at bachelor's level (yet another "crutch") and strut about it. It has a lot of education and scholarship.

Can already have a little more sense of things, but it is only that. Still need the "crutch" to continue living, but begins to realize that maybe it's better to walk without them. However, vital for laziness and simple lack of willpower, rather continue to use them. Moreover, it is only a mediocre infatuated knowing just argue and criticize everything.

Come on now, how a man reacts to level 4. Do the same with the one that is coming.

And the scene repeated itself. Walker looked at the web and asked:

- Why did you do that? I did something wrong? Offended you somehow? Anyway, I wonder why you hit me. I know? - It's nothing personal. Master and I are conducting an experiment to learn what the reaction of people in front of an assault without cause.

- Apparently already performed this experiment with others. Should have already learned a lot about how humans react, is not it?

- Yeah ... We're learning a lot. What would be your reaction? What do you think of our experiment? Do you have any better suggestions?

- Today, you have taught me a new lesson and I am very pleased with it and just have to thank me for this they chose to participate in his experiment. Just think you are running the risk of finding someone who can not understand what they are doing and retaliate to aggression. Until I get to risk myself to say that you have found this type of person, right?

But they also do not run any risks in life, nothing can ever be achieved, in terms of evolution. From this point of view, the experimental methodology that you imagined is as good as any other. Have you found someone who did not understand what they are doing and also hostile reactions, is not it? Moreover, as this is a learning experience, would love to accompany them to share this learning. Would accept me as a companion on the journey? I would love to acquire new knowledge. Can I go with you?

- What if everything we have said is a lie? And if we are malicious? - Asked the Master - How would you react to that?

- Only fools do things without good reason. I know very well distinguish a crazy one is, and definitely got the most crystalline of certainty that you are not crazy. Therefore, you must have some reason to be attacking people for free. That is why they gave me is so good and plausible as any other. Whatever it is, I would go with you to see if my conjectures are right, that is, that spoke the truth and if it be, share the experience of you. Anyway, I wish to learn more, and this is a good time for that. Do not you think?

Instantly, everything fell apart and soon were in another room, much like the previous ones. The Master commented thus:

- The man with the level 4 is well detached and gradually disengaging from worldly affairs. You know that there are other lower and higher ones, and is only seeking to learn more and more to evolve, to become a sage.

There is definitely a scholar (even though some may possess a university degree) and already understands human nature to make value judgments and logical. On the other hand, has a great curiosity and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. And that's because abandoned their "crutches" very recently, maybe a month or two.

Still miss them, but I realized that the best thing is to live without them. Within a very short time, only a little more time, maybe another year or two, so get used to, in fact, to even think of crutches, are really starting to tread the right path to the next level.

But let's continue with our learning. Repeat the same with this man who is coming, and we see how a man reacts to level 5. The slap snapped.

- My son ... I well deserved because there were soon perceived as needing help. In what way can I be helpful?

- I do not understand ... After all, I gave him a slap. It will not respond?

- In fact, each attack is a cry for help. Where you can help, my son?

- We are slapping people who suffer, to know their reactions. It's nothing personal ...

- So this is what I help you? Help thee with great satisfaction by asking your forgiveness for not having noticed that just wish to learn. Is your meritorious action, for knowledge is the most important thing a human can get. Only by means of knowledge is that man rises. And if you're willing to learn, I have only praise to offer.

Soon you will learn the most important lesson is to help people selflessly, as I am done with you at this time. You will still have a long road ahead, but if you wish, I can be your guide in the initial steps and save you from many troubles and vexations. I am perfectly able to guide you through the first steps and bring you up to where I am. From then on, we will do the rest of learning together. What do you think of the proposal? Accepted me as your guide?

Instantly, the scene faded and soon found themselves in another way, a little nicer than others, and the Master put it this way:

- When a man reaches level 5, begins to understand that humanity in general, say, the common man is as a sort of teenager who has yet to even meet and for that reason, as any good teenager It is very insecure, and because of this insecurity, does not know how to ask for help and harm to all to attract attention and ask, then, veiled and indirect way, the help they need.

The man at level 5 has a sincere desire to help and assist all selflessly, without the pressure of personal advantages. It is like a Sister Dulce or a Mother Teresa's life. Knows how to be humble and recognize that still has much to learn in order to achieve higher levels of evolution. And you want to share their knowledge freely with all human beings. Understand that the vast majority of humans use "crutches" and several tries to help them by giving them exactly what you are asked, according to the "crutch" that are using or what they are most accessible at the level at they are.

From level 5, the human being acquires the faculty of perceiving what level your party is. Now give a slap that man that is coming.

And the web began the ritual. Asked the man to stop and threw his hand to his face. Never understand how the other with an almost instantaneous movement, turned away and his hand was only emptiness.

- My dear son! Why would you want to hurt himself? Not yet learned that you're attacking the other attacking yourself? You still can not understand that Humanidadeé a single body and each of us is only a small cell of this immense body?

You would be able to deliberately causing in her body, an injury that will hurt a lot and whose organic and psychic healing will take time and cause much unnecessary suffering?

- But we are conducting an experiment to discover what the people's reaction to an unprovoked aggression.

- Why do not you first learn to love? Why, instead of giving a slap, not a kiss on people? Thus, instead of causing them grief, will be demonstrating Love. And Love is the most powerful and sublime energy of the universe. If you learn the lesson of Love, Love will soon be able to teach all other cells of Humanity, and I am sure that more concrete, in a very short time, all mankind is an immense body loving Love circulate around the planet and hence, by extension, it will send vibrations of Love throughout the universe.

I love you all as I love myself.

The moment you understand that, will love yourself and all other human beings the same way and have learned the Golden Rule of the Universe "Everything is Love!" Life is Love! We are sparks of love! And much love you could never let you hurt, hurting me.

Instantly, everything fell apart and found themselves in another environment, even more beautiful and relaxing than the latter where they were. Then the Master said:

- This is one of the highest levels that can reach humans in their evolutionary path, even in matters on Planet Earth. A man who understood what it is Love, is already a human Sublime, ineffable and almost unattainable by human unhappiness, because I discovered the Home of Truth, but still does not know in all its fullness, which only happens when it reaches the Level 7. Soon you discover that. Give this man a slap that is coming there. Let's see how the man reacts to level 6.

And the seeker asked the man to stop. When their eyes met, a sort of electric shock ran through her entire body and a mixed feeling of love, compassion, disinterested friendship, understanding, deep knowledge of everything that relates to life and a huge sense of extreme security filled her whole being.

- Hit it! - Ordered the Master.

- I can not, Master, I can not ...

- Hit it! Make a big effort, but will have to hit him! Our learning will not be complete if you hit him! Make a great effort and beat! Come on! Now!

- No, Master. His mere presence is enough so that I can understand the futility of giving you a slap. Prefer to slap myself. In it, however, never!

- Hit me - said the man with the greatest firmness and smoothness - for only then learn your lesson and know finally, because there are still wars in mankind.

- I can ... I can not ... I do not have the sense to do this ... - So - has the man - already learned your lesson. Who of all whom You hit, taught to you? Reflect a little and answer me.

- I think were the top three from level 1 to level 3. The others just illustrated and complemented. Now, I realize how late they are and how much will still have to walk on the evolutionary path to understand this fact. Feel they have a very deep compassion. Are a "crutch" and not know it. And worst of all, fail to realize is that even very simple and very easy to abandon them and that, at the precise moment when the leave will begin to increase. That was the lesson I should learn?

- Yes, my son. This is just one of many facets of Real Learning. You will still have much to learn, but I learned the first and greatest of all lessons. There is Ignorance! - Replied the man with softness and conviction

- But there are still other things that you should have learned. What?

- I learned also that it is my duty to teach them to understand that life is far beyond what they think is very important - their "crutches" - and their unbridled and fruitless search for sex, social status, wealth and power.

In other levels, I began to understand that to teach something to someone it must have learned what we teach. But this is a lengthy process too, poistodo world wants it hastily away.
- Mankind is still a child, just born evil, evil just learned that you can walk on their own, without crawling, without using "crutches." The big mistake is that we want to do everything in haste and measure everything by the duration of our individual lives. It is important to understand that the time should be counted in cosmic terms, universal. If we do, we will begin then to understand that the universe is an immense body, still relatively new and is also doing his apprenticeship through us conscious, intelligent beings that inhabit planets scattered throughout the Outer Space.

Our individual life is only relevant, even if we can understand this knowledge and experience, this great truth: "we are all a huge energy team working in various energy levels of what is known as Life and Universe, which, ultimately, it's all the same. "

- But if so, for me to learn everything I need to be able to teach my brothers, I'll need much more than a lifetime. I will be granted more other lives besides this I am now living?

- But still not able to discern that there is only one life and you're already living there are millions and millions of years and yet more will live for many millions in many different levels? You have already been pure energy, atom, molecule, virus, bacteria, ultimately, all beings who have been on the biological scale. And yet you're all that. Understand, my son, nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything changes.

- But even so, then I will not have time right now my current manifestation in the universe, to learn all that is needed to teach my brothers who are still at levels 1, 2 and 3.

- And who will ever, ever? But this is of no importance, because you have to teach you what you've learned in this short mental journey. 've Learned that there are seven possible levels of evolution to human beings, here, now, on Planet Earth.

The author of this tale could pass it, a few millennia, through oral tradition for many, many generations.

The Author of this work, read this story many years ago, also learned the same lesson and now is reporting for all those who will read it and, ultimately, some of these readers, one day, teach the same lesson other fellow human beings.

You understand now, you will not need more than a single life as a human being on Planet Earth, so that you learn everything and that you can pass this knowledge to all human beings the next millennia to come? It's just a matter of time, do not agree, my son?

Now, if those who take this learning and knowledge, anyway, do not want progress, do not want to leave aside the "crutches" that are using or do not want to accept this truth so clear, the problem and the responsibility will no longer be yours.

You and all others who are passing this knowledge already fulfilled their parts.

Than the others, those who are astonished to learn, to fulfill their. To do so are free and have the insight and free will enough to make your choices and you have nothing with it.

Got it, my son?

Brothers co-authors of this piece of architecture: Alair Moreira Spinola, Antonio Lopes da Silva, Sergio Roberto Gimenez, Sergio Sanemitsu Tawata; Lyra Valter Gomes, Joseph W. Nunes and Roberto Mauro B. Gomes.

Venerable Master

The jewel of the picture is the Square. Sen of the Square the symbol of righteousness, as distinctive jewel of the office of Worshipful, indicates that it should be the Mason straighter and fairer Store presiding.

As a symbol of righteousness, every Mason should subordinate their actions. As a symbol of virtue, we must rectify our hearts. The brace is materially the instrument used in construction. Symbolizes for the Venerable, the greatness, the wisdom of his judgments and lessons to members of the Workshop. It is this wisdom and discern ment of Justice should sprout their judgments, their judgments.

By Venerable Workshop is known, that is, being the result of the will of the Brothers of the Board, is constitutionally responsible directly and indirectly by the activity or inactivity, the brightness or the mediocrity, or disarray by participation, equality or complex, by arrogance or the atmosphere of harmony, and finally by the resounding success or failure.

VIGILANTE

Watchers are called the two officers of a Lodge today, which, in hierarchical order following the Venerable Master, which, although contrary to some traditions, succeed him as president of the work during the impediments. These three officers are called "The Three Little Lights Workshop."

The Vigilantes are direct employees of the Venerable Master to give instructions to Apprentices and Companions. Since the hierarchical order, the second Official Store, it is the 1st Vigilante instruct the Companions and the 2nd Vigilante, third in the hierarchy, instructing apprentices.

FIRST VIGILANTE

Level is the Jewel of the distinctive position. And the emblem of equality. Level Masonic comprises a brace rods equal, whose angle down a Perpendicular. Equal Level symbolizes social basis of natural law and Perpendicular means that Mason should have to have a trial of Righteousness that no affection - of interest or family - must stop. What may distinguish the Freemasons and lead them to senior positions is the merits and the virtues and talents.

The level reminds the Mason that all things must be considered with equal serenity and that its symbolism has the corollary notions of Measure, Fairness, tolerance and equality and the right use of knowledge.

Brother First Warden fits the direction of the Speaker of the South

SECOND VIGILANTE

The Jewel of Office is a plummet or Perpendicular. This suggests that jewelry should not stop at the inner aspect of things, but it must penetrate the hidden meaning of symbols and allegories. It represents the Symbol Search of Truth which is hidden in the depths, but as the elevation of feelings toward Masonic Heights. On top as bottom, discovers the beauty of the Spirit and Heart.

Plumb or Perpendicular in Freemasonry is fixed at the center of a bow. He is the emblem of search, research, investigation of Truth. And, closer to the truth, balance, it seems to show the path to perfection. Coupled with the brace, it allows the correct and perfect the construction of the Temple.

SPEAKERS

The Jewel of the Speaker is an open book, symbolizing that it will hide nothing, leave nothing doubtful.

The Open Book symbolizes that he represents the conscience of the Lodge, he must know the Canons to set the ledger.

The Orator, a position created by the French Freemasonry soon after its introduction in that country, has in the hierarchy of officials and the fourth asks the Word directly to the Venerable.

The Speaker is the equilibrium point of a workshop. Aided by a good speaker who can unite the maturity of a court straight to solid scholarship, a necessary knowledge of Masonic Read, it is very difficult for a Venerable fall into serious mistakes, mistakes in, or exceed the performance of their duties .

Equality, Liberty, Reason, Law and Justice, the Speaker will find the most solid guarantee, the most competent defender. For this he must possess the deepest knowledge of the General Rules of Order and the specifics of the workshop, and all that concerns the Regiment Inter in the Lodge and the positions entrusted to dignitaries and officials.

SECRETARY

As Secretary Memory is the Store, your jewelry are two crossed feathers indicating that it ensures the tradition of the Order and the Workshop, with a record of all events past and present.

The Secretary and, in hierarchical order, the Fifth Dignity and calls the Word directly to the Venerable.

The Secretary is responsible for the great history of Freemasonry. The pain history of the future will be based on what he register. If they fail to register or register the wrong facts, history, in this case will be truncated or poorly told.

As the moon the symbol of the Secretary because she does not have its own light, depending on others to shine light, so the only Brother Secretary also records what was said by others in the exercise of his office. Sometimes also records his opinion, but it is only the photographer of the meeting. And it sure is not little.

TREASURER

The two crossed keys, used as jewelry Treasurer of the Lodge, mean that he is the depositary of the monetary reserves of the Lodge and its handler. The key is a strong symbol and landmark within Masonry, very special in mind so-called High Degrees. She is regarded as a symbol of Silence, the wariness, intelligence, prudence and discretion.

The Treasurer, as Secretary of the Lodge, in positions of secular nature, even in the same nomenclature. However, its value within the Administration is of paramount importance.

CHANCELLOR

Jewelry Chancellor Brother is a Timbre or seal, symbolizing that the Chancellor is the Guard Seals Shop, responsible for documentation of the Lodge and for the custody of this documentation. It is only a symbol of office, having no Masonic symbolism.

Chancellor is one of the principal officers of the Lodge. He is the faithful depository of Timbre and the Seal of his Office.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES

The graduated scale as a symbol represents the moral improvement. It is also considered a symbol of method, of righteousness, the Law can also be regarded as a symbol of Infinity, since the straight line has no beginning and no end. It is a symbol of morality he represents is more, drawing a straight line that good Mason should never depart from it. The Rule appears in Masonic Lodges as machine-mediated work time should not be lost in idleness, but, applied to work for humanity. The first condition for the happy life of a Masonic Lodge, is the perfection of their work. That perfection depend Peace, Harmony and Dignity of which should have the real sense of duty.

The post of Master of Ceremonies is one of the positions of real importance within a Masonic Lodge. In addition to the assignments of regulation, it must be an accomplished performer of Ritualistic and signs and words of the degrees in which the work is unfolding. In fact this officer should have the most complete field of Masonic ceremonial.

HOSPITABLE

The Jewel of Cargo Brother Hospitable is a small bag, symbolizing the Farnel of the Pilgrim Travelers, the Beggar is he who, on behalf of the fraternity, all meetings of the mite collection of Charity, the Solemnity Masonic towards the less favored by fortune.

Os Ritos de York, Schroeder e Brasileiro, não possuem o cargo de Hospitaleiro .

Dentro da hierarquia dos cargos de uma Loja, em dos de mais elevada importância é o do Hospitaleiro da Oficina.

A escolha do Hospitaleiro deverá recair sobre um Irmão dinâmico, de moral iliba da, sem mácula, que conheça bem todos os Irmãos. – Deverá gozar da simpatia de to dos para poder imiscuir-se nos problemas de cada um como se fora um parente de sangue, um filho da casa. Seu trabalho dentro do Templo é irrelevante. Qualquer Mestre poderá substituí-lo à altura. Fazer girar o Tronco é muito fácil. Seu trabalho, sua missão fora das quatro paredes do Templo é que é importante, muito importante e requer muito carinho, muita dedicação, muito desprendimento.

EXPERTOS

A Jóia do Irmão Experto entre nós, é um Punhal. Por que o Punhal?

Esta arma é o emblema do Castigo que merecem os perjuros e do remorso que deve despedaçar-lhe o coração. É sabido que o Punhal é uma arma ofensiva. Na Maçonaria porém lhe tem outro significado e figura em muitas cerimônias e entre os emblemas distintivos de vários Graus filosóficos com significado mera mente simbólico. Entre os Maçons ele significa também o combate que devem travar para que, com a palavra e com a pena, defender, com todo vigor, a Liberdade de Pensamento, de Consciência. Ele é o principal atributo dos Expertos que guiam os Profanos durante a Iniciação e que telham os Visitantes. Embora o Punhal seja tido como símbolo da Traição, para nós, é o símbolo da fortaleza, da guarda. Hierarquicamente, o Experto, é o sexto Oficial da Loja, o primeiro depois das Cinco Dignidades.

COBRIDOR

A Jóia do Cobridor são duas Espadas Cruzadas. Ao ser juramentado com Cobridor, o Mestre Instalador diz estas pa lavras: “Cabe lembrar-vos que estas Espadas Cruzadas indicam que só deveis dar ingresso em nosso Templo aqueles que têm direito a tomar parte em nossos trabalhos., Simbolicamente os ferros cruzados, em guarda para o combate, nos ensina a nos pormos em defesa contra os maus pensamentos ea ordenarmos moralmente as nossas ações.

Armado de Espada, o Cobri dor fica a esquerda de quem entra, ao lado da porta cuja guarda lhe é confiada e que deve manter fechada. Pôr esse motivo é que, em determinadas potências, é também chamado o Guarda do Templo, representando o traço de união entre o mundo profano ea Loja, só ele pode abrir ou fechar a porta.

A prova da grande importância deste cargo, se verifica na Maçonaria Inglesa. Lá as Lojas elegem apenas o Venerável, o Tesoureiro eo Cobridor Interno, pôr considerarem tais cargos os de maior responsabilidade, devendo pôr isso merecer o voto de todos os Irmãos da Loja. O Venerável é que nomeia os ocupantes de todos os outros

PORTA BANDEIRA

A Jóia do cargo, é a primeira do Pavilhão Nacional. Não possui nenhum simbolismo maçônico. É uma prática profana introduzi da nos Templos, para ativar o sentimento de cada Irmão.

E uma jóia simples, destituída de qual quer interpretação que não seja aquela feita pêlos profanos, ou seja, a representação da Pátria, o mais elevado símbolo de uma Nação. A vibração da alma de um povo, tanto na Paz como na guerra.

Tal encargo foi oficializado na maçonaria brasileira somente a partir de 02 de abril de 1959.

PORTA-ESTANDARTE

A Jóia do Cargo é uma miniatura de um Estandarte. Ela não possui simbolismo maçônico. Só indica o cargo do portador da mesma.

Estandarte é a insígnia de uma corpo ração, seja militar, religiosa, esportiva ou filosófica, sendo no caso da maçonaria , conhecida e utilizada como uma continuação da tradição das antigas confrarias e corporações profissionais medievais, que tinham pôr seu Estandarte a maior veneração e respeito.

A humanidade sempre necessitou de símbolo. Desde os mais remotos tempos ela vem usando para representar sua crença ou ideal, partido ou família, dignidade ou função, agremiação ou qualidade, cidade ou pais, enfim, símbolos de forma e denominação várias.

MESTRE DE HARMONIA

A Lira é um instrumento musical, de corda, em numero variável, parecido com uma harpa, porém em menores dimensões, sendo um dos instrumentos mais antigos de que se tem notícia.

Se considerarmos os efeitos dos sons musicais durante as nossas Sessões, preparando o ambiente, tomando-o mais harmônico, mais solene, inspirador e belo, compreenderemos que a execução de uma seleção musical será o complemento indispensável para uma boa sessão.

MESTRE DE BANQUETES

A Jóia do Cargo é a Cornucópia que sempre simbolizou a fartura, a abundância. A fábula diz ter sido ela arrancada da cabeça de Aquelous, personagem mitológico, quando transformado em touro, foi vencido pôr Hércules. Na Maçonaria também se usa uma Taça como Jóia de cargo de Mestre de Banquetes.

ARQUITETO

A Jóia do cargo de Arquiteto é uma Trolha, que é um dos grandes Símbolos Maçônicos.

A Trolha serve para mexer a massa destinada a cimentar as pedras do Edifício realizando assim, a Unidade. A Trolha reúne, mistura, unifica. É portanto o símbolo da Benevolência esc1arecida, Fraternidade Universal e profunda Tolerância que distinguem o verdadeiro Maçom.

Um cargo que parece de pouca importância, mas que na realidade é tão ou mais importante que muitos outros tidos como tal. Suas ocupações não são vistas durante a reunião, ou melhor são vistas mas não lhe são atribuídas já que seu trabalho consiste, alem, de outros, na ornamentação da Loja, colocando cada coisa em seu devido lugar. Ao Arquiteto está o sublime encargo de cuidar, e bem, de tudo quanto pertence às decorações e ornamentações do Templo.

O seu trabalho é feito antes de começar as Sessões, tornando-se durante a mesma um privilegiado espectador.
