- Freemasonry, myth and reality
"Ask and you will get. Search and you will find. Knock and you will be opened." (Matheus 7:7)
Freemasonry, a concept that evokes other meanings and associations for each of us.
But what is Freemasonry actually?
Freemasonry is described as an initiatic Order. The "initiation" refers to a universal and
age-old practice that consists of a personal and gradual learning process that is passed on
by other insiders and through a proven methodology.
Freemasonry encourages personal perfection that is a continuous process in time and space
and is based on the means and values transferred from one generation to another.
Its foundations go back to a distant past that the modern freemason wants to perpetuate
by making progress oneself.
With this lecture I want to clarify the origins and history of freemasonry, the development of Freemasonry in Belgium and the influence in our society. In addition, I will also go deeper into the symbolism, philosophy and knowledge associated with Freemasonry.
