Masonic Week 2013

As it happens annually since 1920, this get together of Freemasons from so many appendants bodies , this year again as the sun rises everyday, in Reston, Virginia, almost WA D.C. That Masonic Week took place.
-Fellowship is the main purpose, it is not written on the program, but I feel like so. The annual meetings , installations , initiations, invitations , new aims, lectures, banquets are the steps.

– As a foreigner, from South of Brazil, I attend the MW four times and therefore I think and have a desire to understand a little better the American Freemasonry.

At a glance:York Rite, Scottish Rite, AMD Grand Council of Allied Masonic Degrees, KYCH, The Masonic order of Athelstan, st. Thomas of Acon, The High Council Societas Rosicruciana in Civitatibus FoederatisSRICF, Grand Council of Knight Masons,MS Masonic. Society, Society of Blue Friars, Sovereign order of Knights Preceptor, Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priest, Royal Society of Knitghts Occidental, The Great Priory of America Chevaliers Bienfasants de la Cite Sainte, Ye Antiente Order of Corks, Grand College of Rites, The Philalethes Society, Masonic Order of the Bath, The Worshipful Society of Free Masons, Rough Masons, Wallers, Slaters, Paviors,Plaisters and Bricklayers and much more.

The High light for me was participating in the Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priest Grand College of America , with The Grand Superintendent of the District 47 Brasil Rt.Em.Kt.Pt. JORGE BARNSLEY PESSÔA FILHO. And at the High Council Societas Rosicruciana in Civitatibus Foederatis , where the Supreme Magus, Most Worthy William H. Koon conduct the ceremony. Also the Grand Council of the Allied Masonic Degrees , in which the Grand Master Council( where I belong to) open the ceremony for the installation of. The new officers and my Brother and Friend Glen….from Utah was installed as Sovereign Master.
-To feel and understand the enthusiasm of those brothers who repeat there participation year after year, being in the line for a officer position, is a motive to keep on going in the freemasonry path, to preserve the rituals, something that is very needed nowadays and study of philosophical topics, friendship and charity.
Finnaly. The attitude is looking forward and help the fraternity staying alive and strong.

Sua maior liberdade. Your highest freedom.

-Um dos meus livros favoritos, o Sentido da vida de Victor Frankl, um psicoterapeuta Austríaco , que sobreviveu aos campos de concentração Nazista. Muitos morreram , perderam a esperança. Ele conseguiu sobreviver aplicando o que eu acredito ser a nossa maior liberdade: a habilidade de escolher de como respondemos ao que nos acontece. Podemos olhar para o positivo ou ser caçado pelo ruim desta situação. Frankl escreveu: Tudo pode ser tirado do homem, menos uma coisa , a liberdade de escolher a atitude perante as circunstâncias , de escolher o próprio caminho.

-One of my favorite books is Man’s Search for Meaning, written by Victor Frankl, an Austrian psychotherapist who survived confinement in Nazi concentration camps. Só many of those around him perished. They lost hope. They fell into despair, then death. He managed to get through the ordeal by applying what I believe is our highest human freedom : our ability to choose how we respond to and process any event that happens to us. We can look for some good or we can become haunted by the bad. Frankl writes, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing, the last of the human freedoms to,choose one’s attitude to a given set of circumstances, to choose one’s way.” Such a magnificent thought.

-Because of writings like that, so powerful and true, that I always write and say that everything is a matter of attitude.
-Por causa de escritos como este, tão poderoso e verdadeiro, que eu sempre digo e escrevo que tudo é uma questão de atitude.
