Freemasonry offers contemporary men a method of achieving personal meaning and an ethical attitude.
Using symbols, experiencing and sharing rituals, a path of personal growth and development is revealed to the conscious living man. This path teaches him how to position himself in relation, to himself, to others and to that which he accepts to be the guiding power in his life.
The Freemason visualises himself as a symbolic rough ashlar, a stone, which needs to be formed to assume its place – his place – within society. A society which he visualises as an unfinished building.
