different approach 103 00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:57,840 more philosophical because 104 00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:01,120 i have hundreds of incredible interviews 105 00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:01,840 with 106

philosophical and 109 00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,599 all these aspects are in the 110 00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,280 computer now 111 00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:15,120 and i will i would like to use it in the 112 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:16,400 future so 113 00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:18,000 um 114 00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:20,239 i think there will be a third episode 115 00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:21,280 yes 116 00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:23,600 now i i you know for for somebody who's 117 00:04:27,749 --> 00:04:26,880 uh i've watched a lot of masonic 118 00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:27,759 uh 119 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:29,840 a lot of sonic documentaries and content 120 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:31,360 uh there are certain ones that have gone 121 00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:33,040 into the history certain ones that have 122 00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:35,759 gone into the the mystery and secrets 123 00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:38,160 uh and others that have uh you know 124 00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:40,160 there are some independent movies that 125 00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:42,000 we'll even try and link freemasonry to 126 00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:44,000 things like the illuminati or what have 127 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:46,639 you which you know as a freemason myself 128 00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:48,240 i always laugh at because we can't 129 00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,759 organize a pancake breakfast without 130 00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:51,520 getting into fights so 131 00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:52,479 uh 132 00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:53,680 it's 133 00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:56,560 you know so the the idea of 134 00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:59,360 uh a movie that contrasts 135 00:05:02,629 --> 00:05:01,199 the various types of freemasonry 136 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,639 worldwide 137 00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:05,120 along with the histories of freemasonry 138 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:06,880 not only as a craft 139 00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:08,560 you know as a whole 140 00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:11,680 but also uh the the different countries 141 00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:14,080 and and uh that you have 142 00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:16,080 um you know that you visited is is 143 00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:18,160 something that nobody's ever done before 144 00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:19,199 and 145 00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:21,919 how how did the idea for this particular 146 00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:25,280 documentary start well it was directly 147 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:26,880 after uh 148 00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:32,710 a very good movie historical movie the 149 00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:35,199 name was the scottish key 150 00:05:39,189 --> 00:05:37,360 and the question was what was the origin 151 00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:39,199 of freemasonry because in freemasonry 152 00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:41,520 you have two main questions what was the 153 00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:43,520 what is the origin of freemasonry and 154 00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:45,680 the second question is what is freemason 155 00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:48,160 is not the same but it's linked you know 156 00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:51,440 because uh the heritage tradition the 157 00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:53,280 history is 158 00:05:57,029 --> 00:05:54,720 the craft so 159 00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:57,039 but uh just after making this movie in 160 00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:00,479 2008 i directly write two script 161 00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:03,280 uh the second script was the age of 162 00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:05,199 darkness it was the idea of the 163 00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:07,840 confrontation of the freemasonry and the 164 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,199 fascist 165 00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:11,360 period of the 20th century because it's 166 00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:12,880 very interesting to 167 00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:14,720 to 168 00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:20,960 because freemasonry can't 169 00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:27,510 a honorable society just in democracy 170 00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:30,080 everybody knows that so it was an 171 00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:32,240 interesting question but it was a very 172 00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:34,639 difficult project so i decided to write 173 00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:37,440 a book about that and the first script 174 00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:39,759 was that ramazanica so i i said to 175 00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:41,759 myself directly that 176 00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:43,600 to answer the question what is 177 00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:46,240 freemasonry 178 00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:48,800 it's impossible to answer this question 179 00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:51,120 in my personal point of view because 180 00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:54,319 it's a very local view you know and um 181 00:06:58,710 --> 00:06:56,800 if i has a question to 182 00:07:00,629 --> 00:06:58,720 any brother around the world all the 183 00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:00,639 time it's a local view it's depend on 184 00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:02,720 the largest depend of the history of the 185 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:03,919 nation 186 00:07:08,309 --> 00:07:06,960 et cetera so um to have a 187 00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:08,319 very 188 00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:10,479 i think um 189 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:13,120 good answer to this question we have to 190 00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:17,039 the only way was to to visit maximum of 191 00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:19,199 large of around the world it was very 192 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:20,560 simple id 193 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:22,080 and 194 00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:24,160 because the expansion of freemasonry 195 00:07:30,309 --> 00:07:26,080 started very quickly in 10 years after 196 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,319 1717 so 303 centuries ago the expansion 197 00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:32,960 of freemasonry in 10 years the 198 00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:36,080 freemasonry arrived in all the the part 199 00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:38,800 uh in the five continents so 200 00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:41,280 this expansion is very incredible 201 00:07:45,790 --> 00:07:43,759 for example freemasonry arrived in 202 00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:45,800 calcutta in india in 203 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:48,639 1727. so very quickly freemasonry 204 00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:51,280 arrived thanks to the travelers 205 00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:53,759 thanks to the militars 206 00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:00,710 naval large it was uh so um and directly 207 00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:02,720 free masonry 208 00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:04,560 uh 209 00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:07,039 after this moment of expansion during 210 00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:09,360 three century there is different kind of 211 00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:11,599 evolution of this different type of 212 00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:14,080 freemason will run the world depending 213 00:08:19,510 --> 00:08:16,400 of the culture depending of the 214 00:08:21,670 --> 00:08:19,520 uh history of these nations and um but 215 00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:21,680 in the same way everywhere is the same 216 00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:24,000 this is the incredible fact when you see 217 00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:26,560 the movies that you have this incredible 218 00:08:34,310 --> 00:08:30,080 feeling that freemasonry uh could 219 00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:34,320 give so much to to uh do to uh the 220 00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:36,479 members of of the craft 221 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:40,560 and uh it's not the way that 222 00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:42,880 it's a form of it's a form of teaching 223 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,080 so uh 224 00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:47,040 i was very surprised that and everybody 225 00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:49,680 was watching the movie tehran sonica 226 00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:51,360 have this feeling that everybody is 227 00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:53,680 speaking not in the warm voice everybody 228 00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:56,240 have different point of view but 229 00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:58,000 we have this feeling that everybody is 230 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:00,720 amazing and uh we have 231 00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:03,360 this very close relation with everybody 232 00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:04,800 you don't have this feeling that 233 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:06,480 somebody is very 234 00:09:13,509 --> 00:09:11,040 a stranger in freemasonry you know so um 235 00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:13,519 the idea is very simple but it was very 236 00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:15,519 difficult to organize that 237 00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:17,920 uh take months of discussion with the 238 00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:20,480 different lodge and to find the lodge 239 00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:23,040 and to find a good balance between all 240 00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:26,080 the continents all the countries so it 241 00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:28,160 was a long process 242 00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:29,920 and 243 00:09:33,150 --> 00:09:31,519 i had to wait 244 00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:33,160 uh 245 00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:36,959 2015 to start this movie because before 246 00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:39,680 that and i was not in good health enough 247 00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:42,240 to to do the all this travel 248 00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:44,880 and uh you know after for example three 249 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,720 weeks of filming in usa of south america 250 00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:50,640 of africa and 251 00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:54,720 it was it's a very physical job so 252 00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:56,480 it was a 253 00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:02,310 process and very hard editing 254 00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:05,360 but i'm very happy of the result and 255 00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:08,240 very happy of all the feedback of the 256 00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:16,230 around the

individuals who 283 00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:23,760 may look at the craft you know 284 00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:27,040 differently or in a negative light or is 285 00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:30,880 it more just a uh you know just a a 286 00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:32,399 general appreciation yeah general 287 00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:35,360 appreciation for the craft 288 00:11:41,590 --> 00:11:38,640 my goal is to to you know i don't 289 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:41,600 i we don't need me to make 290 00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:43,920 i'm not a journalist i'm a filmmaker so 291 00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:46,000 it's very different i have a vision you 292 00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:46,800 know 293 00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:49,519 i wanted to to to make some picture to 294 00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:53,440 show a vision of uh of uh this uh 295 00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:55,920 the subject the craft the freemasonry 296 00:11:59,990 --> 00:11:58,160 because i'm freemason also myself it's 297 00:12:01,990 --> 00:12:00,000 more easy but it's not because i'm 298 00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:02,000 freemason that i could make a good movie 299 00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:04,160 about freemasonry i'm first of all i'm a 300 00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:05,440 filmmaker 301 00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:07,839 but i had this vision and i wanted to 302 00:12:14,230 --> 00:12:10,880 link uh the beauty of the lands of the 303 00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:14,240 nation of the masonic heritage 304 00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:17,200 to meet very normal brothers because uh 305 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:18,720 the pro one of the problem of 306 00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:20,880 remastering is that 307 00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:22,800 all the people who are speaking about 308 00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:24,560 freemasonry they are 309 00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:28,480 scientific historian or maybe in in 90 310 00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:30,160 person it's uh 311 00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:33,760 people who don't have uh 312 00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:35,440 want to write books you know about free 313 00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:37,760 mastery but they don't have the 314 00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:40,320 scientific education of the they are not 315 00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:42,320 uh historian really professional 316 00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:44,079 historian so they are speaking about 317 00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:46,959 free masonry but uh i think there is so 318 00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:49,040 many books about freemasonry you don't 319 00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:50,800 give is just blah blah you know they 320 00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:52,800 don't give you nothing about free mass 321 00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:54,320 and what is really freemaster and 322 00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:56,800 freemasonry is something very simple in 323 00:13:01,990 --> 00:12:59,040 fact so um 324 00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:02,000 i wanted to show that and to because 325 00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:05,200 when we go on internet of course 326 00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:11,190 anti-masonic movement who is very 327 00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:15,839 powerful today and i feel very sad 328 00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:18,880 about that and 329 00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:20,959 and i know a lot of 330 00:13:26,790 --> 00:13:23,519 good guys from the young generation who 331 00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:26,800 have suspicion against masonry and uh 332 00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:28,000 for me 333 00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:30,800 uh it's very difficult to to fight 334 00:13:36,069 --> 00:13:32,959 against myself alone you know to 335 00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:36,079 convince p uh uh uh uh i think for 336 00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:39,920 example and i had a young um 337 00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:40,880 friend 338 00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:43,040 and uh we had a long discussion about 339 00:13:48,069 --> 00:13:44,880 freemason it was impossible for me to 340 00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:48,079 convince him that freemasonry is not uh 341 00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:50,560 had nothing to do with the complete and 342 00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:54,399 illuminati etc and but after i i invite 343 00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:57,680 him to see the movie in a premiere and 344 00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:59,680 everything changed in his mind you know 345 00:14:04,069 --> 00:14:01,440 it's not a question that after that you 346 00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:04,079 want to come in freemason just that you 347 00:14:08,949 --> 00:14:06,560 see exactly what is freemasonry today so 348 00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:08,959 my goal is to show the reality of the 349 00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:10,160 freemason 350 00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:13,040 around the world is very simple in fact 351 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:15,040 that we have uh that we're taking up way 352 00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:16,639 too much of our time learning lines to 353 00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:22,550 the the learning of of ritual has always 354 00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:24,320 been um something that i could be quite 355 00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:27,040 good at or absolutely be horrible at 356 00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:29,680 and you know i know some people who will 357 00:14:34,470 --> 00:14:31,839 do certain parts of degree work they 358 00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:34,480 they can spend hours and hours and hours 359 00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:35,839 uh learning it and they will still when 360 00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:37,360 they get up when they get up to to 361 00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:38,720 deliver their part 362 00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:40,800 they still can stumble over their lines 363 00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:42,560 it's you know it goes goes part and 364 00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:45,199 parcel with trying to constantly perfect 365 00:14:48,710 --> 00:14:48,000 ourselves as individuals and and uh you 366 00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:48,720 know 367 00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:50,160 improve ourselves whether it's from 368 00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:53,120 memory or just you know public speaking 369 00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:54,079 is this 370 00:14:59,990 --> 00:14:57,839 common uh commonly found throughout 371 00:15:01,670 --> 00:15:00,000 freemasonry worldwide 372 00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:01,680 and is that affected 373 00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:04,240 based on language have you found that 374 00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:06,320 certain individuals 375 00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:08,639 or certain brothers who are let's say in 376 00:15:13,269 --> 00:15:11,360 india and speaking urzu at their at 377 00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:13,279 their lodge do they have do they have 378 00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:14,639 did you hear that they have an easier 379 00:15:17,509 --> 00:15:15,760 time learning 380 00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:17,519 their ritual work than let's say 381 00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:21,720 um 382 00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:24,240 [Music] 383 00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:27,920 the the question of the rituals um 384 00:15:33,750 --> 00:15:31,120 it's uh a very difficult question in uh 385 00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:33,760 for this movie because this movie will 386 00:15:37,829 --> 00:15:35,680 be broadcast worldwide and everybody 387 00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:37,839 knows that it's impossible to film 388 00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:39,440 inside the lodge 389 00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:43,199 so um i respect that of course and you 390 00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:46,079 know it's exactly making a movie 391 00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:49,360 about wolfgang amadeus mozart without 392 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:50,639 your music 393 00:15:55,749 --> 00:15:52,800 so the real treasure of freemasonry is 394 00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:55,759 the ritual and is the only treasure we 395 00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:58,320 have it's irritated from the past 396 00:16:01,749 --> 00:16:00,079 and there is thousands of different 397 00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:01,759 rituals in the world 398 00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:03,199 and 399 00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:06,320 everybody's uh keep this treasure very 400 00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:09,920 safely and the there is this this idea 401 00:16:17,749 --> 00:16:16,150 and the ritual is the center of the 402 00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:17,759 craft so 403 00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:20,320 but for me it was impossible to explain 404 00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:22,560 that in this movie and 405 00:16:28,629 --> 00:16:25,759 because it's very complex and maybe i 406 00:16:29,370 --> 00:16:28,639 will do that in another project 407 00:16:31,670 --> 00:16:29,380 but 408 00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:31,680 [Music] 409 00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:33,920 i think it's not the main question in in 410 00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:36,240 this project the most important question 411 00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:39,600 it is what is the you know when you are 412 00:16:45,189 --> 00:16:42,800 traveling uh you need to have a compass 413 00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:45,199 you need to directly when you arrive in 414 00:16:49,269 --> 00:16:46,959 a country in a large uni you need to 415 00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:49,279 have to know where you are and what is 416 00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:52,240 uh the dna of this large what is the the 417 00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:54,160 spirit of the lodge what is this the 418 00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:56,079 spirit of this craft for example in 419 00:17:00,150 --> 00:16:58,160 scotland is very incredible in marvel 420 00:17:00,870 --> 00:17:00,160 lodge of scotland i love them so much 421 00:17:03,509 --> 00:17:00,880 and 422 00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:03,519 it's uh you have a very incredible 423 00:17:06,870 --> 00:17:05,360 spirit there in india is the same 424 00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:06,880 everywhere in the world is the same but 425 00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:08,799 it's different so you have to understand 426 00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:11,199 where you are and you are here just for 427 00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:13,839 one week two weeks so um 428 00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:16,799 after sometimes i i understood that the 429 00:17:20,630 --> 00:17:19,039 craft is based of seven 430 00:17:23,429 --> 00:17:20,640 main value 431 00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:23,439 you have of course faith hope charity 432 00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:25,439 you have of course liberty equality 433 00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:28,319 fraternity but you have also of course 434 00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:30,880 unity and the unity is very important 435 00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:33,120 you have the the unity of the brother 436 00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:35,280 brethren in the inside the large but 437 00:17:40,549 --> 00:17:37,840 also universality is the same word but 438 00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:40,559 uh it's more global so you have seven 439 00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:44,480 main value and if um you you and you 440 00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:46,320 have some masonry 441 00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:48,240 who are more connected for example with 442 00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:50,240 charity but you if you do too much 443 00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:52,799 charity you lose the the path of the 444 00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:55,520 craft you so all the time in madison is 445 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:57,200 the question of balance and when you 446 00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:59,200 have a decrease of membership and when 447 00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:00,960 you have some problem inside the lodge 448 00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:02,080 it's because 449 00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:03,760 you you lose 450 00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:07,440 one of these seven value and uh 451 00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:10,160 it was my way my compass as a traveler 452 00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:13,760 you know and uh a mason uh mason 453 00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:15,360 traveler so uh 454 00:18:18,789 --> 00:18:16,240 um 455 00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:18,799 this is uh for me the most important 456 00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:21,280 thing is go back to the basis it's not 457 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:23,919 be too intellectual you know and of 458 00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:25,840 course it's it's very interesting to see 459 00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:28,000 the problem of translation the problem 460 00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:31,120 of language which kind of ritual is is 461 00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:33,120 this ritual is very close to the 462 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:35,200 tradition of not 463 00:18:39,430 --> 00:18:37,520 uh i know that in usa there is some 464 00:18:41,350 --> 00:18:39,440 problem with some rituals who are not 465 00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:41,360 connected with the young generation is 466 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:43,760 not the case in in the continental 467 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:44,880 europe 468 00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:47,840 so uh of course the ritual had an impact 469 00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:49,600 of um 470 00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,320 the quality of the craft and all the 471 00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:54,960 time we are looking for the best rituals 472 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,750 i think 473 00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:04,870 the ritual could be also a problem and 474 00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:07,600 especially for the young generation and 475 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:08,720 uh 476 00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:10,400 there is a time 477 00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:13,520 in our life in our path uh 478 00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:15,919 for each age there is a time for a 479 00:19:20,549 --> 00:19:19,120 different evolution when you are below 480 00:19:22,630 --> 00:19:20,559 25 481 00:19:23,669 --> 00:19:22,640 uh you have different question when you 482 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:23,679 have 483 00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:25,440 14 or 15 484 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:28,080 years old and um 485 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:30,080 when you visit the lodge now around the 486 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:31,120 world is 487 00:19:34,870 --> 00:19:34,000 you see directly that there is a lot of 488 00:19:38,150 --> 00:19:34,880 white 489 00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:38,160 hairs in the large the average age is 490 00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:41,280 very high so uh as a young mix and it's 491 00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:42,559 a problem 492 00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:45,360 why uh we are not connected with the 493 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:48,320 young generation and the answer is very 494 00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:51,600 simple is because we don't organize 495 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:53,840 the possibility to have exchange with 496 00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:56,400 the young generation if we are meeting 497 00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:58,400 young generation directly there is a 498 00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:00,799 connection so the 499 00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:03,679 the main we i think we have to focus of 500 00:20:08,150 --> 00:20:05,280 organizing 501 00:20:10,390 --> 00:20:08,160 moment in a good place to have this this 502 00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:10,400 possibility to meet the young generation 503 00:20:14,789 --> 00:20:12,240 and to have exchange about the craft 504 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:14,799 because it's very useful for a young 505 00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:15,840 mason 506 00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:16,960 uh the 507 00:20:20,789 --> 00:20:18,880 what we learn as a young mason is very 508 00:20:21,510 --> 00:20:20,799 useful in the life you know 509 00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:21,520 and 510 00:20:32,950 --> 00:20:30,950 men are waiting uh 511 00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:32,960 when they are 512 00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:35,440 finishing their working life you know 513 00:20:40,710 --> 00:20:39,039 around 16 60 years old and entering in 514 00:20:43,350 --> 00:20:40,720 the craft because they are they have 515 00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:43,360 more free time now so 516 00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:44,559 um 517 00:20:49,669 --> 00:20:46,880 in the past in the 18th century all the 518 00:20:50,710 --> 00:20:49,679 great mason entered in the large very 519 00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:50,720 young 520 00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,120 and they were very active in the world 521 00:20:59,510 --> 00:20:55,520 in every kind of field artistic 522 00:21:02,390 --> 00:20:59,520 political economical any kind of field 523 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:02,400 and freemasonry was very attractive it 524 00:21:07,669 --> 00:21:05,120 was the golden age of freemasonry 525 00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:07,679 and maybe we have the possibility in the 526 00:21:12,630 --> 00:21:10,320 20 21 century to enter in this new 527 00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:12,640 golden age it's just a question of 528 00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:14,880 choice and organized possibility to make 529 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:16,880 the young generation i think that now 530 00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:19,120 the large all the brand larger of the 531 00:21:22,630 --> 00:21:21,600 world have this difficulty to 532 00:21:33,510 --> 00:21:22,640 to 533 00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:33,520 saying that we have big secret it's not 534 00:21:38,789 --> 00:21:36,000 the case the lodge are in the center of 535 00:21:41,270 --> 00:21:38,799 the city open to the community we are 536 00:21:43,510 -->

00:21:49,110 --> 00:21:47,760 kind of that's very correct and i agree 540 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:49,120 with that statement 541 00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:50,880 the interesting thing i always used to 542 00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:52,000 say to my friends when they said oh 543 00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:53,440 you're joining that secret society i'm 544 00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:55,200 like well it's not really a secret 545 00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:57,039 society because we have a giant building 546 00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:58,400 with a neon sign 547 00:22:01,350 --> 00:22:00,159 you know on the main like on this

something that 552 00:22:09,909 --> 00:22:08,880 you know helps to prove that somebody 553 00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:09,919 can keep their word and that they're 554 00:22:13,590 --> 00:22:11,760 reliable 555 00:22:15,190 --> 00:22:13,600 you know in addition to being symbolic 556 00:22:16,630 --> 00:22:15,200 of of um 557 00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:16,640 you know somebody having the knowledge 558

00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:32,159 secret and we we have to to be very 565 00:22:36,549 --> 00:22:34,480 clear about this this question 566 00:22:39,270 --> 00:22:36,559 uh there is two aspects of the secret 567 00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:39,280 one aspect is the privacy if you have 568 00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:41,520 friend in your house and you 569 00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:43,840 your best friend and if

democratic country this is the first 579 00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:07,520 aspect the second aspect is that the 580 00:23:14,950 --> 00:23:10,480 secret is coming from the history of 581 00:23:16,630 --> 00:23:14,960 freemasonry and one on one on the roof 582 00:23:19,909 --> 00:23:16,640 there is two roof 583 00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:19,919 there is a lot of explanation but one 584 00:23:25,830 -->

throughout recent history in the 677 00:27:23,590 --> 00:27:20,559 last 678 00:27:26,870 --> 00:27:23,600 uh 100 years let's say for instance a 679 00:27:27,669 --> 00:27:26,880 very strong persecution of freemasons 680 00:27:29,909 --> 00:27:27,679 and 681 00:27:32,390 --> 00:27:29,919 what what is your opinion or what is 682 00:27:33,750 --> 00:27:32,400 your what did you take away

middle europa 717 00:29:09,190 --> 00:29:06,960 you have so great culture as ukraine 718 00:29:13,590 --> 00:29:09,200 poland and um 719 00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:13,600 and georgia and so this all this

and all all of that is a part 776 00:31:31,110 --> 00:31:28,240 of the beauty of the world beauty of and 777 00:31:33,590 --> 00:31:31,120 it's very inspiring to to 778 00:31:53,509 --> 00:31:33,600 to 779 00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:53,519 desert in the sarah and just say wow 780 00:31:58,549 --> 00:31:56,480 what a beautiful world and i think this 781 00:32:03,269 --> 00:31:58,559 is the part of the craft is the ability 782 00:32:07,190 --> 00:32:04,950 i think you did a pretty amazing job 783 00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:07,200 with the film sort of showing just how 784 00:32:10,230 --> 00:32:08,320 approachable 785 00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:10,240 some of those lodges can be i would 786 00:32:14,710 --> 00:32:12,880 think that the youth today 787 00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:14,720 the hierarchical structure of it was 788 00:32:18,710 --> 00:32:16,480 probably what's more intimidating for a 789 00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:18,720 lot of the younger people today but then 790 00:32:22,710 --> 00:32:20,559 a lot of the younger people today 791 00:32:24,470 --> 00:32:22,720 are less likely to reach out to 792 00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:24,480 community defined 793 00:32:27,269 --> 00:32:25,840 mentors 794 00:32:28,789 --> 00:32:27,279 they're more likely to try to go to the 795 00:32:31,430 --> 00:32:28,799 internet or something like that or you 796 00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:31,440 know men of old or the older generation 797 00:32:35,350 --> 00:32:33,600 they didn't have that available to them 798 00:32:36,789 --> 00:32:35,360 they're more likely to get out there in 799 00:32:37,590 --> 00:32:36,799 their community and they're more likely 800 00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:37,600 to 801 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:42,240 each other i think that's yeah part of 802 00:32:46,470 --> 00:32:44,240 the cultural shift and why it's why 803 00:32:47,669 --> 00:32:46,480 there's so many gray hairs 804 00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:47,679 it's it 805 00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:51,279 somewhat of a generation gap where 806 00:32:55,669 --> 00:32:53,440 uh you know people's grandfathers were 807 00:32:57,590 --> 00:32:55,679 freemasons and it's their grandsons that 808 00:32:59,350 --> 00:32:57,600 are now becoming freemasons 809 00:33:00,549 --> 00:32:59,360 and sometimes people who have lived 810 00:33:01,909 --> 00:33:00,559 through different things can see the 811 00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:01,919 world differently 812 00:33:06,230 --> 00:33:04,240 so i'm you know 813 00:33:08,870 --> 00:33:06,240 how do you see freemasonry 814 00:33:11,029 --> 00:33:08,880 evolving uh with the old generation and 815 00:33:13,590 --> 00:33:11,039 the new generation combining 816 00:33:16,070 --> 00:33:13,600 and you know what kind of challenges are 817 00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:16,080 are you seeing uh with during this 818 00:33:19,190 --> 00:33:17,840 evolution 819 00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:19,200 yeah i think that 820 00:33:23,190 --> 00:33:21,120 it's very important in a lot to have a 821 00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:23,200 good mix and good balance between the 822 00:33:28,389 --> 00:33:25,840 different generations so um 823 00:33:30,789 --> 00:33:28,399 uh when i was 20 years ago a young mason 824 00:33:32,070 --> 00:33:30,799 i was very happy to to have a whole mess 825 00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:32,080 and to to 826 00:33:40,630 --> 00:33:33,120 to 827 00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:40,640 have you are when you are young 828 00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:42,880 you just have to open you you 829 00:33:47,350 --> 00:33:45,200 your eyes you and listening to what 830 00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:47,360 people have to do so you you keep the 831 00:33:51,669 --> 00:33:49,679 silence and you are listening so this is 832 00:33:54,630 --> 00:33:51,679 the way to learn is to listening when 833 00:33:57,029 --> 00:33:54,640 you are young but 834 00:33:59,350 --> 00:33:57,039 we are entering in the in a very new 835 00:34:00,789 --> 00:33:59,360 world and the young generation is very 836 00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:00,799 different now 837 00:34:04,630 --> 00:34:03,120 they are connected they see global and 838 00:34:07,509 --> 00:34:04,640 they want to travel 839 00:34:11,909 --> 00:34:07,519 so what i say to the young generation is 840 00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:11,919 uh beer mason is uh is exactly that you 841 00:34:16,950 --> 00:34:14,480 are thinking global you are connected 842 00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:16,960 and this is the case since three century 843 00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:19,520 because uh the beginning of the you know 844 00:34:25,589 --> 00:34:22,320 today we are we are living in a very 845 00:34:27,430 --> 00:34:25,599 anxious world a lot of anxiety a lot of 846 00:34:30,710 --> 00:34:27,440 fear about the future 847 00:34:32,950 --> 00:34:30,720 and um because of this globalization but 848 00:34:34,550 --> 00:34:32,960 the globalization is not a new new 849 00:34:37,990 --> 00:34:34,560 things 850 00:34:40,470 --> 00:34:38,000 it's happening since uh 851 00:34:43,349 --> 00:34:40,480 the beginning of the navy the discovery 852 00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:43,359 the beginning of the big empires like 853 00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:45,760 the commonwealth it was a globalized 854 00:34:49,109 --> 00:34:47,520 world and uh 855 00:34:51,829 --> 00:34:49,119 and if you know a little bit about 856 00:34:53,909 --> 00:34:51,839 history you see you know that there is 857 00:34:56,629 --> 00:34:53,919 there were a lot of exchange between all 858 00:34:59,190 --> 00:34:56,639 the civilization during babylon and 859 00:35:01,750 --> 00:34:59,200 during the beginning of the humanity 860 00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:01,760 so we are living in a globalized world 861 00:35:06,550 --> 00:35:04,320 but the new generation wanted to be a 862 00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:06,560 part of that and they want to travel and 863 00:35:10,230 --> 00:35:08,720 they want to meet people and they're 864 00:35:13,670 --> 00:35:10,240 very open 865 00:35:17,030 --> 00:35:14,870 they have this 866 00:35:19,510 --> 00:35:17,040 this feeling that of 867 00:35:22,630 --> 00:35:19,520 lonely loneliness and 868 00:35:23,589 --> 00:35:22,640 because of the computers etc everybody 869 00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:23,599 is uh 870 00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:25,680 finally 871 00:35:31,670 --> 00:35:27,680 people are very separate and it's very 872 00:35:35,030 --> 00:35:31,680 difficult to meet people so 873 00:35:36,870 --> 00:35:35,040 as a social club freemasonry is a 874 00:35:38,950 --> 00:35:36,880 wonderful opportunity for the young 875 00:35:41,670 --> 00:35:38,960 generation first of all to 876 00:35:45,270 --> 00:35:41,680 to have new tools to be a better man to 877 00:35:48,069 --> 00:35:45,280 to to separate the the truth from 878 00:35:50,550 --> 00:35:48,079 from the the fake to have to to to to 879 00:35:53,829 --> 00:35:50,560 try to to 880 00:35:56,230 --> 00:35:53,839 to think a little bit about um to to to 881 00:35:58,069 --> 00:35:56,240 go directly to the to the basic value 882 00:35:59,829 --> 00:35:58,079 the most important value to be a good 883 00:36:01,910 --> 00:35:59,839 man this is the first part and the same 884 00:36:04,950 --> 00:36:01,920 time to travel to be connected and to 885 00:36:07,270 --> 00:36:04,960 know that you if you have to go to work 886 00:36:09,510 --> 00:36:07,280 and this is why in in india there is a 887 00:36:11,829 --> 00:36:09,520 very big increase of membership because 888 00:36:13,910 --> 00:36:11,839 the young generation is educated and 889 00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:13,920 they want to travel and they want to 890 00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:16,400 learn so freemasonry is absolutely 891 00:36:20,230 --> 00:36:18,160 perfect for them and they understand 892 00:36:22,150 --> 00:36:20,240 that it's an opportunity 893 00:36:23,990 --> 00:36:22,160 so 894 00:36:26,069 --> 00:36:24,000 maybe we have to speak a little bit 895 00:36:28,790 --> 00:36:26,079 about brotherhood what is brotherhood 896 00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:28,800 brotherhood eve opened the door of a 897 00:36:34,069 --> 00:36:31,040 brother with a traveler 898 00:36:35,990 --> 00:36:34,079 and uh if you a brother have a of a you 899 00:36:37,510 --> 00:36:36,000 lodge have a problem you will be there 900 00:36:40,310 --> 00:36:37,520 maybe at 3 00 901 00:36:42,230 --> 00:36:40,320 a.m in the morning if you have the crash 902 00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:42,240 with this car i don't know you you will 903 00:36:46,790 --> 00:36:44,400 be here to help him so this is the 904 00:36:47,750 --> 00:36:46,800 definition of brotherhood is just help 905 00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:47,760 uh 906 00:36:50,630 --> 00:36:49,040 your brother 907 00:36:53,270 --> 00:36:50,640 so uh 908 00:36:55,190 --> 00:36:53,280 i think we have to to be very proud of 909 00:36:56,470 --> 00:36:55,200 that and don't 910 00:36:59,109 --> 00:36:56,480 say that 911 00:37:01,270 --> 00:36:59,119 because you know the non-masons think 912 00:37:04,069 --> 00:37:01,280 that brotherhood is to have privilege 913 00:37:07,030 --> 00:37:04,079 it's not the case it's just a very basic 914 00:37:09,430 --> 00:37:07,040 value of humanity help the others is 915 00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:09,440 very important we have hazard has a 916 00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:11,839 mission i have medicine of course but i 917 00:37:16,950 --> 00:37:15,040 help non-medicine of in the same times 918 00:37:19,589 --> 00:37:16,960 i'm not focused about just the missing 919 00:37:20,550 --> 00:37:19,599 but if a medicine need something i will 920 00:37:23,349 --> 00:37:20,560 be here 921 00:37:26,470 --> 00:37:23,359 so a brotherhood is a basic value very 922 00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:26,480 important value in life and in our very 923 00:37:33,430 --> 00:37:29,520 selfish society especially in the us 924 00:37:35,030 --> 00:37:33,440 uh focus uh about uh material world and 925 00:37:38,950 --> 00:37:35,040 about money 926 00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:38,960 this value are very important so 927 00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:42,880 this young generation we need to make a 928 00:37:47,190 --> 00:37:46,400 contact and to to build a trust 929 00:37:48,310 --> 00:37:47,200 and 930 00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:48,320 to 931 00:37:56,550 --> 00:37:52,880 it's very useful and for a very 932 00:37:59,109 --> 00:37:56,560 intelligent young guys who finish his uh 933 00:38:01,990 --> 00:37:59,119 high degree in university uh they 934 00:38:04,230 --> 00:38:02,000 understand very quickly that 935 00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:04,240 it's an opportunity so i know that there 936 00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:06,160 is a big problem 937 00:38:10,870 --> 00:38:08,480 in the western world uh 938 00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:10,880 um 939 00:38:16,069 --> 00:38:14,160 with a decrease of membership and uh 940 00:38:17,829 --> 00:38:16,079 but it's also a problem of culture 941 00:38:20,069 --> 00:38:17,839 because to be a mission you have to be 942 00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:20,079 very curious about different culture 943 00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:22,320 about the heritage about the history 944 00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:24,880 about some different knowledge so if you 945 00:38:30,950 --> 00:38:27,760 have a at one moment as a 946 00:38:33,750 --> 00:38:30,960 big nation who facing the problem of 947 00:38:36,069 --> 00:38:33,760 culture and problem of education it's 948 00:38:38,390 --> 00:38:36,079 normal that after two three generations 949 00:38:40,230 --> 00:38:38,400 you have guys who are a little bit idiot 950 00:38:41,990 --> 00:38:40,240 so um 951 00:38:45,190 --> 00:38:42,000 education uh 952 00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:45,200 democracy and education it's 953 00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:47,680 the good ground for uh 954 00:38:52,630 --> 00:38:50,560 to to have a expansion of free masonry 955 00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:52,640 so it's a more large-scale problem of 956 00:38:57,109 --> 00:38:55,200 society and freemasonry you know i'm 957 00:38:59,750 --> 00:38:57,119 living in belgium and we have an 958 00:39:01,430 --> 00:38:59,760 industrial tradition and 959 00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:01,440 we had here in belgium 960 00:39:07,270 --> 00:39:04,240 also like in scotland and in england we 961 00:39:10,470 --> 00:39:07,280 had the mines you know with the 962 00:39:13,109 --> 00:39:10,480 the coke you know and 963 00:39:14,870 --> 00:39:13,119 and when the guys go down in the ground 964 00:39:18,630 --> 00:39:14,880 in the mines 965 00:39:21,510 --> 00:39:18,640 to extract uh the the the coke uh they 966 00:39:24,390 --> 00:39:21,520 bring with them little birds yellow 967 00:39:27,190 --> 00:39:24,400 birds and the name in french it's canary 968 00:39:29,589 --> 00:39:27,200 and uh they bring these little birds to 969 00:39:31,109 --> 00:39:29,599 detect the gas and uh because they have 970 00:39:32,790 --> 00:39:31,119 to to to 971 00:39:35,829 --> 00:39:32,800 to it was very dangerous of the 972 00:39:38,790 --> 00:39:35,839 explosion of the gaza in the mines and 973 00:39:40,790 --> 00:39:38,800 when the little birds was uh 974 00:39:43,430 --> 00:39:40,800 dying because of the gas they had to get 975 00:39:46,310 --> 00:39:43,440 out of the mines to to to be safe 976 00:39:49,349 --> 00:39:46,320 freemasonry is the little uh canaries 977 00:39:51,829 --> 00:39:49,359 the little yellow birds of the society 978 00:39:54,550 --> 00:39:51,839 freemasonry is in expansion so the 979 00:39:58,069 --> 00:39:54,560 society is in good health 980 00:40:00,550 --> 00:39:58,079 and uh so uh maybe um 981 00:40:02,950 --> 00:40:00,560 i'm very positive guys i'm very optimist 982 00:40:05,270 --> 00:40:02,960 about the future not in all the part of 983 00:40:07,430 --> 00:40:05,280 the world of course in some part of the 984 00:40:11,349 --> 00:40:07,440 world uh societies are facing 985 00:40:14,310 --> 00:40:11,359 difficulties in very large scale 986 00:40:16,790 --> 00:40:14,320 and they are losing uh the all this 987 00:40:19,670 --> 00:40:16,800 basic value i explained before 988 00:40:21,190 --> 00:40:19,680 and in another other part of the world 989 00:40:23,670 --> 00:40:21,200 things are going 990 00:40:26,470 --> 00:40:23,680 better so um 991 00:40:29,349 --> 00:40:26,480 [Music] 992 00:40:32,310 --> 00:40:29,359 i i but we don't have a 993 00:40:34,550 --> 00:40:32,320 very simple solution to this problem and 994 00:40:37,349 --> 00:40:34,560 it's not in five minutes that we will 995 00:40:40,069 --> 00:40:37,359 find the solution everybody is 996 00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:40,079 thinking about how it's possible to 997 00:40:46,710 --> 00:40:41,680 to 998 00:40:48,150 --> 00:40:46,720 disappear because this is the question 999 00:40:51,030 --> 00:40:48,160 you have a lot of logic what is 1000 00:40:52,790 --> 00:40:51,040 appearing in usa in uh in different 1001 00:40:56,309 --> 00:40:52,800 parts of the world because you don't 1002 00:40:58,550 --> 00:40:56,319 have enough young members and uh but in 1003 00:41:01,190 --> 00:40:58,560 the same times it's a question of time 1004 00:41:02,630 --> 00:41:01,200 and it's a cycle and uh we everybody 1005 00:41:05,270 --> 00:41:02,640 knows that uh 1006 00:41:08,150 --> 00:41:05,280 uh during three centuries there is so 1007 00:41:11,190 --> 00:41:08,160 much uh in the history of freemasonry 1008 00:41:13,349 --> 00:41:11,200 masonry a lot of large uh disappear 1009 00:41:15,589 --> 00:41:13,359 reappear there is a lot of creation of 1010 00:41:18,230 --> 00:41:15,599 you new lodge so it's a part of the life 1011 00:41:22,150 --> 00:41:18,240 you know and if a lodge disappears like 1012 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:22,160 this and uh we have to build a new lodge 1013 00:41:27,430 --> 00:41:25,920 and uh to be to try to to 1014 00:41:29,349 --> 00:41:27,440 uh 1015 00:41:30,870 --> 00:41:29,359 so it's a it's a part of life i think 1016 00:41:32,550 --> 00:41:30,880 and um 1017 00:41:35,589 --> 00:41:32,560 and uh 1018 00:41:37,910 --> 00:41:35,599 but uh the the speech about freemasonry 1019 00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:37,920 had to be more simple and say to the 1020 00:41:41,589 --> 00:41:39,760 young nation what 1021 00:41:43,270 --> 00:41:41,599 just to explain to the 1022 00:41:45,430 --> 00:41:43,280 young generation 1023 00:41:47,990 --> 00:41:45,440 what freemasonry is useful for a young 1024 00:41:49,910 --> 00:41:48,000 guy today and after that he will have 1025 00:41:52,470 --> 00:41:49,920 time to discover different aspects of 1026 00:41:55,990 --> 00:41:52,480 freemasonry maybe more esoterical maybe 1027 00:41:57,670 --> 00:41:56,000 more mystical maybe more spiritual um 1028 00:42:00,069 --> 00:41:57,680 okay but 1029 00:42:02,309 --> 00:42:00,079 you know in judaism for example when you 1030 00:42:04,630 --> 00:42:02,319 want to study the kabbalah you have to 1031 00:42:06,550 --> 00:42:04,640 wait 40 years and you have children and 1032 00:42:10,390 --> 00:42:06,560 you have to wait to have a job so this 1033 00:42:12,790 --> 00:42:10,400 is the rules to study kabbalah so uh 1034 00:42:15,349 --> 00:42:12,800 in the life of a man you have a good 1035 00:42:18,069 --> 00:42:15,359 time for for different part and all the 1036 00:42:19,510 --> 00:42:18,079 aspect of freemasonry are so rich so 1037 00:42:21,349 --> 00:42:19,520 different so 1038 00:42:23,190 -->

00:42:34,640 you begin to be older more experienced 1046 00:42:39,270 --> 00:42:36,720 so you rediscover all the time 1047 00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:39,280 freemasonry but it's a very very long 1048 00:42:44,790 --> 00:42:40,480 process 1049 00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:46,870 we have to listen for of the young 1050 00:42:51,829 --> 00:42:49,040 generation for example one of the basic 1051 00:42:56,309 --> 00:42:51,839 aspects of freemasonry is hope 1052 00:42:59,430 --> 00:42:56,319 hope hope is very important and it's uh 1053 00:43:01,829 --> 00:42:59,440 hope it's for me in my mind uh it's 1054 00:43:05,670 --> 00:43:01,839 exactly what is the feeling of a young 1055 00:43:08,790 --> 00:43:05,680 generation man and woman uh when you are 1056 00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:08,800 speaking with somebody who is 25 27 1057 00:43:14,790 --> 00:43:12,240 years old uh hope is very important part 1058 00:43:16,390 --> 00:43:14,800 of the of their wishes you know they 1059 00:43:18,870 --> 00:43:16,400 have hope in 1060 00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:18,880 so hope is very important so we have to 1061 00:43:23,030 --> 00:43:20,400 listening to the hope of the young 1062 00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:23,040 generation what they want for the future 1063 00:43:29,030 --> 00:43:26,640 and be and try to be more at the same 1064 00:43:30,390 --> 00:43:29,040 level than them you know sometimes 1065 00:43:32,790 --> 00:43:30,400 freemason 1066 00:43:34,470 --> 00:43:32,800 are in the 1067 00:43:36,550 --> 00:43:34,480 you have the feeling 1068 00:43:40,069 --> 00:43:36,560 when you are young and i i know that 1069 00:43:40,650 --> 00:43:40,079 that freemason is a little bit uh 1070 00:43:44,550 --> 00:43:40,660 um 1071 00:43:48,790 --> 00:43:46,470 they have maybe this feeling that there 1072 00:43:51,750 --> 00:43:48,800 is too much knowledge they will not have 1073 00:43:53,510 --> 00:43:51,760 time to to spend to read all these books 1074 00:43:54,950 --> 00:43:53,520 etc etc 1075 00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:54,960 but 1076 00:44:00,550 --> 00:43:57,680 a freemasonry is not a university it's 1077 00:44:02,950 --> 00:44:00,560 not a question of uh to to to have more 1078 00:44:05,990 --> 00:44:02,960 learn more knowledge than the other 1079 00:44:07,349 --> 00:44:06,000 brothers more it's more the human 1080 00:44:11,510 --> 00:44:07,359 relation 1081 00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:11,520 so all this aspect of esoterism and um 1082 00:44:18,630 --> 00:44:16,319 and knowledge and etc and studying uh 1083 00:44:20,950 --> 00:44:18,640 it's one it's just one aspect of free 1084 00:44:22,870 --> 00:44:20,960 masonry and for the young generation the 1085 00:44:24,950 --> 00:44:22,880 relation the quality of the relation is 1086 00:44:27,589 --> 00:44:24,960 more important and to be there to help 1087 00:44:29,190 --> 00:44:27,599 them is what we have to do and after 1088 00:44:31,750 --> 00:44:29,200 that if 1089 00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:31,760 changing a country for work and 1090 00:44:38,950 --> 00:44:34,560 maybe there will be great doctors and 1091 00:44:40,950 --> 00:44:38,960 that had a very uh professional life uh 1092 00:44:44,069 --> 00:44:40,960 without free time to come in the lodge 1093 00:44:46,390 --> 00:44:44,079 it's not a problem uh initiation is 1094 00:44:48,390 --> 00:44:46,400 different than the the masonic path you 1095 00:44:51,829 --> 00:44:48,400 have initiation after that you have 1096 00:44:53,990 --> 00:44:51,839 masonic parts so the in in his you know 1097 00:44:57,510 --> 00:44:54,000 uh 1098 00:45:00,309 --> 00:44:57,520 they are more open for this idea of 1099 00:45:03,349 --> 00:45:00,319 lifetime you know and uh 1100 00:45:07,510 --> 00:45:03,359 you could come in the lodge as a levis 1101 00:45:11,910 -->
