The traditions, glyphics and ritual of Freemasonry cluster around the building of the temple; the legend of the widow's son, Hiram-abiff, who lost his life in the defense of his integrity, and the search for the Lost Word of the Master.

The essential form, or idea of all things; the potency or force; and the matter as we now discern it, must have existed in primordial space. Therefore, these two always exist, viz., the inner potency, and the outer act; the concealed Idea, and the outer form; the inner meaning, and the outer event.
