If your experience is the only one you’ll ever fully know, how do you shape anything real? This episode explores the Masonic implications of subjective reality. Far from an excuse for self-centeredness, it’s a call to responsibility. The self is not the goal—it’s the instrument through which we build.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- Your perception shapes your experience—and therefore your work.
- Freemasonry begins with the self not because it ends there, but because it must begin somewhere real.
- Refining your awareness is not optional; it's the only way to approach clarity.
