The Importance of Masonic Education |
“Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.”—Voltaire  asonic education is not the collection of raw data. It is not the reading of a book or long list of tomes. It is not attending a meeting in which wisdom, real or otherwise, is espoused by someone else with a particular credential. It is not a man in a white robe providing religion or orthodoxy from a pulpit. It is a journey, taken alone, in the care of Brethren, to achieve that thing within you that flirts open with Sophia’s sultry ways. You must open that tripartite element of man composed of an open mind, open heart, and open spirit. Meditation must occur and we must always strive for that next sphere that glints like a star in the distant darkness of the material.

Associate Membership
 nlightenment Lodge is a small and intimate lodge with an extraordinary focus on the initiatic experience and philosophical enrichment of its members. Because we value the special and intimate experience created by Enlightenment, and to ensure a small and familial experience, we have capped our membership at 72. However, for very special Brothers, who are already Master Masons in good standing, living outside of the geographical area of Colorado, who would like to benefit from the Enlightenment Lodge educational experience, we have an Associate Membership. You must be proposed by a Regular Member of the lodge and voted upon by the lodge with unanimous consent. This membership entitles the Brother to all of the papers and educational information and presentations prepared or presented by or at Enlightenment. Further, you will also be invited to all meetings, to include those for whom visitors are refused.
For inquiries into Associate Membership please e-mail Brother Rob Herd, the Chairman of Masonic Formation, at robherd@enlightenmentlodge.com
