The Masonic meaning of Building the Temple of Solomon. With the help of this Table, the Masonic Reader must bear in mind, that God as the Father, is all the outer world to man ; and that God, the Son, the Word, lost, sought or recovered, signifies various states of the human mind, and is altogether a possession of the human brain, as a spiritual being. The same is meant by Temple Building. The Perfect Mason finishes the Temple, and restores the Word in himself as a spirit ; and then God the Son, being a knowledge of God the Father, dwells within him. The Temple Destroyed is the Fall of Man. Such is the Word Lost. Calvary, on which the Word is crucified, signifies the uncultivated animal head of man. Zion, the Holy Hill, where God dwells, is the high. intellectual, and cultivated head of man, the Temple to be built by Science—Masonic Science. RICHARD CARLILE.
