Die Kunst des Schweigens 🤫
In einer Welt, in der oft die Lautesten gehört werden, ist bewusstes Schweigen eine besondere Stärke. In der Freimaurerei bedeutet es nicht Sprachlosigkeit, sondern innehalten, beobachten und nachdenken.
Nicht jede Frage braucht eine sofortige Antwort. Manchmal beginnt Weisheit mit dem Zuhören.
Ist Schweigen heute eine unterschätzte Fähigkeit?

In Freemasonry, a Cowan is a person who tries to gain access to the fraternity and its meetings without having been initiated. It is generally accepted that a Cowan is someone who might have been able to learn certain aspects of the Craft, but not their meanings, having never lived them.

Freemasons use the Square and Compasses to denote specific characteristics and requirements of a Mason. The plural 'compasses' is used to differentiate the compass used from those employed in architectural design or as a mathematical instrument for dividing and drawing circles.

Historically, there are cases of men being granted membership in the Masonic fraternity as Masons on Sight. This was a perogative of a Grand Master alone, who was empowered to initiate suitable men without any ritual or Lodge meeting.
Although this power exists today, as a Landmark in some jurisdictions, it is no longer used and would cause considerable objection if it were.
