What is freemasonry?
| This is a question that is difficult to answer. According to the text of de Orde van Vrijmetselaren onder het Grootoosten der Nederlanden you can say the following: | |
| Freemasonry is a passed on method through centuries to work on the process of self-consciousness. | |
| Through symbols that can be connected within the framework of the rituals one considers 'Know thyself'.. | |
| The goal is to learn more about yourself and your ability to place yourself consciously towards your own existence, your fellow human beings, the cosmos, nature or God: All. |
| Freemasonry is a brotherhood of initiation that in principle uses three degrees of initiation. | |
| These are the degrees of: Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason. | |
| Above you can see some symbolism regarding freemasonry. Working with symbols and symbolism takes a very prominent place within freemasonry.. | |
| Especially the use of Light-symbolism or symbolism regarding architecture is very common. | |
There is so much to tell about freemasonry. |
