The Masonic Influence On World History

Freemasonry has been an influence on mankind since humans walked on earth. Although many attribute the beginnings of masonry to the establishment of the first Grand Lodge of England, or the building of King Solomon’s Temple, its roots go back to Mesopotamia and the Sumerians, as far back as history can be traced. The “Keepers of Light”, “Watcher’s” or “Star People” preserved the universal truths through hard times and persecution throughout history, enabling truth to flourish even under the most adverse conditions. Masonry or something like it has been in existence since the dawn of time. Long before recorded history, even before the times of Sumeria and before men and women roamed the earth and beyond searching for truth, a form of masonry lead many to lead a more productive, happy, and honorable life. Masonry today makes good men better by teaching morality, brotherly love, and truth, giving examples of leading a more righteous life by following God’s laws or the laws of Nature and Nature’s God, or as some would say seeking truth in the divine. This truth can take many forms and many times it takes humans a lifetime of searching to conclude that all things evolve back to God, their Creator.
