Whence Came You? - 0698 - 21st Century Esoteric

Author: Robert Johnson January 4, 2026 Duration: 39:20


Join us this week for a look into the expectations of the 21st Esoteric-Minded Freemason. What does it offer today's new Freemason? Is it a return to what was or a one-off thing relevant to the times in which we live? Then we'll explore the timeless mystery of the Circle and Square as a Masonic and spiritual symbol. What does it truly allude to, and whatever it is, can we realize its meaning without having a personal revelation? All this and more! Stay tuned!

Each episode invites you to consider the principles and questions that have shaped the craft, fostering a space where learning is a continuous journey.
