Operative in construction and speculative in symbol, Contemplative Masonry explores the Inner Self through Freemasonry's teachings in the Lectures and Ritual. Using King Solomon's Temple in allegory building his physical and spiritual Temple, the Freemason explores his inner Self transcending to Divine Unity with his Collective Consciousness, living in peace and harmony with all life. Each man must be Raised from the darkness of his bondage residing in his disordered nature.
