A Mason's Work

Across spiritual and philosophical lineages—from Bodhisattvas and Sadiqs to Philosopher Kings and Saints—there exists an aspirational identity: the just person, the moral actor, the wise one. In this episode, we explore how Freemasonry fits into this tradition—not as a title to be claimed, but as a path to be walked. You’re not a Master because you said you are. You’re a Master because you behave like one.
