Jackson Tulsa Scottish Rite Completes VMAP In January 2015 the Supreme Council announced a new program the Valley Membership Achievement Project (VMAP). This program is designed to guide all Valleys in the Southern Jurisdiction, and is voluntary based on the Valley s preferences. The Tulsa Valley completed this challenge in 2015 and in 2016! Once again, in 2017, we completed the program with flying colors. We received a large plaque, certificates from the Supreme Council, and lapel pins for those instrumental in this achievement. We would like to thank all the men who put in hours of work throughout 2017 in our efforts. The Tulsa Valley will be participating in the program again in 2018 with Br. Jon Greene, 32, KCCH as our Valley VMAP Chairman. We know he will help us in achieving some amazing results! Education on the Rite Nite The Tulsa Scottish Rite is proud to promote our Lodge-Based Educational Program Education on the Rite Nite. Through a partnership with R.W. Br. Robert G. Davis, 33, G C, our RiteNite program brings the lessons and teachings of the Scottish Rite Degrees to the Blue Lodges in our jurisdiction. Each presentation offers insights on the deeply hidden meanings of our signs, symbols, and images, while adding historical context to the messages. You ll also learn how the Degrees were written and developed over the past 150 years, and how they became the exact Rituals we use today. This program has proved to be a huge success for the Valley of Tulsa. You don t want to miss out! Any Blue Lodge in our jurisdiction can host a RiteNite. The RiteNite will take place on a non-stated meeting evening, and the Lodge is not opened for business. The Scottish Rite will simply use your facility to hold an educational presentation. Due to the information presented, these meetings are for current Scottish Rite Masons only. If you would like to host a RiteNite, please contact the Valley Office! The Tulsa Scottish Rite -5-
6 Freemasonry: "from time, immemorial" By W Daniel Hanttula, 32 Masonry has been much celebrated for being the great "equalizer;" uniting all men regardless of class, stature, income and power. The Parisian Freemasons of 1744, in a public relations campaign, dubbed Freemasonry a "School of Virtue," expounding it as "the first time that men really concerned themselves with the needs of one another." Although this probably isn't the first (nor definitely the last) grand claim made about Masonry, it is important to note that private societies often put the necessities of the members of their organization above the individual need. And, in fact, a look back in history will reveal that this practice has always been a critical part of a virtuous society. A much earlier example is Ancient Greece's Syssitia, called Ἄνδρια in Crete (translated, among other masculine definitions, as "manhood"); an organization of unknown origin, requiring membership by unanimous ballot. This gathering was a meal for men, created by contributions from its membership and "followed by conversation, which was first directed to the public affairs of the state, and afterwards turned on valiant deeds in war and the exploits of illustrious men, whose praises might animate the younger hearers to an honourable emulation." Intemperance at the meal was strictly forbidden by law, and extra servings of the meal were often prepared for the member's wives and children. In some cases, memberships for the less fortunate citizens were supported by public funds or by more fortunate members contributing to the common meal. The Syssitia was divided into three classes; Acustici, Mathematici and Physici, all possessing secret signs to help members identify each other.while far less "structured" than today's ritualized degree system of Freemasonry, one cannot help but notice the amazing similarities to Masonry. Jumping forward more than two thousand years later, Freemasonry offers a clearer path, or, more accurately, a more defined system of education. Douglas Smith, in Working the Rough Stone, quotes an excerpt from the Master Mason degree of 18th century Russia "we have tried to inculcate within you the rules of true virtue, penetrating to your heart by all the paths known to man." And, later in his book, Smith calls out the unique working tools of Masonry's system of instruction; "Masonry's elaborate symbolic language, with its intricate systems of hieroglyphs and allegories, provided the medium through which these ideas and attitudes about the self were inculcated. Everywhere the Mason looked in the lodge, every text he read, every speech he heard and every ritual in which he participated impressed upon him the importance of working the rough stone within." The 4 th degree of the Scottish Rite, Secret Master, continues the impeccable use of Masonic iconography to properly equip the candidate during the first state of his Scottish Rite journey. He is introduced to the duality of the broad highway of duty and the labyrinth of error (and, immersed in symbols of black and white) as well as the Tree of Life. The tree contains nine virtues, matching the nine lights on the altar, in a degree set to mourn the loss of a man faithful until death. Oklahoma's own Jim Tresner states that the number nine symbolizes the perfection of perfection a stunning tribute to the master builder. These are truly compelling substances for the lessons in the first step in Scottish Rite Masonry. And, as an Entered Apprentice is presented an apron, which he will one day wear as a Master, the Secret Master is given a key, which will one day unlock the mysteries. One of this author s favorite visual concepts in the Secret Master degree, it is worn by Wardens and the Brethren just as, in some Masonic jurisdictions, members of a Craft lodge all change their apron to match the degree they are open upon. This is beautiful symbolism that we are all engaged in the same work; we all carry this same key with us. Although apparently a conscious decision to be abandoned by Preston, the ivory key was a significant symbol in earlier Craft Lodge work. The Masonic Service Association points out that the key, in Masonry, was historically used as a symbol of the tongue, and an early categorical lecture refers to the Tongue of good Report... as good Behind a Brother s Back as before his Face. In the Secret Master degree, the key once again alludes to secrecy and reminds us all to keep the True Word concealed in our hearts. The Lodge, as a special and sacred place, is designed for work of the most intimate nature, and as such would require suitable protections from those uncomfortable or unable to work at such a level. But the need for privacy may have been first required with the advent of 19th century sensationalist journalism briefly mentioned in the previous section. In 1890, the Harvard Business Review published an article titled "The Right to Privacy" wherein the authors observed "The press is overstepping in every direction the obvious bounds of propriety and of decency. Gossip is no longer the resource of the idle and of the vicious, but has become a trade, which is pursued with industry as well as effrontery." At a time when society, as a whole, worked toward enlightenment, so too, did they work to protect the private affairs of the individual from public scrutiny Cliff Porter, Masonic author and orator, at a private speaking engagement, acknowledged that Masonry uses, across its many degrees and orders, religious symbols that men have died for and been killed over. But, he was quick to point out, in Masonry these symbols are "celebrated" and explored in a private space with other, open-minded individuals. The Secret Master is a perfect example of this, as it introduces, in the very first degree of the Scottish Rite, the Kabbalah as a system of mystical thought. This "desire to strengthen the frayed bonds of humanity" using symbols of the very system that separates mankind outside the lodge, is a key factor in celebrating what we all share. As this article has illustrated, the elements of Freemasonry have been in existence prior to -and outside the walls of- the Masonic Lodge. Therefore one could say that if these elaborate practices have existed from "time immemorial," then the need for the anticipated results must, consequently, also have been always greatly desired. So, while Masonry may not be the first, or the only, example of the constant search for improvement of the self, the organization and the society, it may very well be the best example of all these laudable pursuits combined into a single experience. Albert Pike may have said it best when he observed that if [an association of persons] had been [Masonry s] whole purpose, it would never have been enabled to measure the term of its existence by centuries It outlasts the ages because its aims are higher and nobler than the mere communication of mysterious secrets or the affording of mutual and reciprocal assistance. It requires of its initiates that they shall be useful to society. It desires to be itself a benefactor of even unborn generations. And, for the modern man, who begins a dedicated Masonic journey today, he can be assured that the "social usefulness" of the Craft will remain a key component of his life regardless of how the world outside the Lodge may change. To always be a "real citizen, son, spouse and father who looks after the profit of others as well as his own" regardless of whether or not it is fashionable at the time. The Tulsa Scottish Rite -7-
