MASONRY and ITS SYMBOLS : In the Light of Thinking and Destiny
by HAROLD WALDWIN PERCIVAL
<<In the Seventh Degree or Royal Arch are symbolized events which preceded the completion of the temple, and some information is given about the Word. The candidate is made to represent one of three Masons who ... were given tools and directed to begin their labors at the North East corner of the ruined temple.
There they discovered a secret vault under a trap which was the keystone of an arch. The keystone taken before the Grand Council was there discovered to be the keystone of the principal arch in Solomon’s Temple. Lowered by cable-tow into the vault the candidate finds three small trying-squares which are by the Grand Council recognized as the Master’s Jewels of King Solomon, of King Hiram of Tyre and of Hiram Abiff. On another descent a small box is found which is recognized by the Grand Council as the Ark of the Covenant. Out of this chest are taken a pot of manna and four pieces of paper containing in right angles and dots the key to a mystery language. With this key three mysterious words written in triangular form upon the Ark become readable as the name of God in the Chaldaic, Hebrew and Syriac languages; and this Name of the Deity is in the ritual said to be the long lost Master Mason’s Word or Logos. This identification among modern Masons of the Name and the Word is a blind, or is due to a mistake.
The Name and the Word are distinct and not the same. The name of the Triune Self, however, is Brahm{A}, Vishn{U}, Brah{M}, the last letters of which are the Word. The Hebrew Name is Jehovah, and modern Masons have adopted this. It is a name of the ruler of the physical world and its four planes.
At one time this God acted through human physical bodies which were sexless, then he acted through human bodies which were bisexual, and now he acts through human bodies that are male human bodies and that are female human bodies. The Name is the name of the body and the body must be rebuilt into a balanced male-female body before it is the Name and the dweller in the body can breathe the Name. The Name belongs to the body, is of the four elements and hence has four letters, Jod, He, Vav, He. The Name is ineffable until such time as it can be breathed by the dweller in a normal balanced or sexless physical body.
The Word, an English translation of the Logos, as used by St. John, is not the Name. It is an expression of the full Triune Self powers, each of the three parts being represented in it by a sound, and the perfect body in which the Triune Self dwells being also represented by a sound. The doer part is expressed as {A}, the thinker part as {U} or {O}, the knower part as {M}, and the perfect body as {I}. The Word is {I-A-O-M}, in four syllables or letters. The expression of the perfect body and the Triune Self as these sounds is an expression of the Conscious Light of the Intelligence through that Self and body. When a part in its physical body sounds as IAOM each of the parts sounds AOM, and each represents a Logos. The knower is then the First Logos, the thinker the Second Logos and the doer the Third Logos. The Word is symbolized by a circle in which are a hexad of two interlaced triangles, and the point in the center. The point is the M; the triangle aries, leo, sagittary is the A; the triangle gemini, libra, aquarius is the U or the O; and the circle is the fully expressed point M as well as the line of the body I. The hexad is made up of the macrocosmic signs standing for the sexless triad and the androgynous triad, the triangle of God as Intelligence and the triangle of God as nature. These letters in which the perfect Self sounds, are symbolized in Masonry by the square and compass or the emblem of the interlaced triangles.
There is a succinct relationship of the Word with the Ineffable Name. The Word is feeling-and-desire, the doer. The doer is lost in the body of flesh and blood in the world of life and death. Thus the doer is the lost Word. The body, when perfected, serves as the instrument through which the doer pronounces the Ineffable Name. The Ineffable Name and the embodied Word, when one is fitted to speak it, is IAOM. By so doing the body is raised from a horizontal to an upright position.>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Bet_Your_Life
<<You Bet Your Life is an American quiz show that aired on both radio
and television. The most well-known version was hosted by Groucho Marx
of the Marx Brothers, with announcer and assistant George Fenneman.
Some show tension revolved around whether a contestant would say the
"secret word", a common word REVEalED to the audience at the show's
outset. If a contestant said the word, a toy duck resembling Groucho
with a mustache and eyeglasses, and with a cigar in its bill,
descended from the ceiling to bring a $100 bill. A cartoon of a duck
with a cigar was also used in opening title sequence. In one episode,
Groucho's brother, Harpo, came down instead of the duck, and in
another, a model came down in a birdcage with the money. Marx
sometimes slyly directed conversation to encourage the secret
word to come up. The duck was also occasionally replaced
with a wooden Indian figure.>>

The Masonic Secret Word:
<<The Word (always capitalized) is so secret that
initiates are taught it one letter at a time. First they
learn A, then O, then M, and finally I. The Word is *IAOM* .>>

The Secret Grip of a Master Mason:
It's a regular handshake, except that you press your thumb against the
base joints between the index finger and middle finger of the man you
are shaking hands with. It looks pretty much like any other handshake;
only the men shaking hands can feel the difference. The correct
response is to ask if this grip has name and then "syllable it" with
the shakee until the password of a Master Mason is arrived at.
The Secret Password of a Entered Apprentice
The password of the 1st degree, or the 'Entered Apprentice' degree is
'Boaz'.
The Secret Password of a FellowCraft
The password of the 'Second Degree', or 'Fellowcraft Degree' is
'Shibboleth'.
The Secret Password of a Master Mason:
'Tubal Cain' is the password of a Master Mason, which is the 'Third
Degree'. Some of the more obtuse and perverse masons wear a tie
stickpin or lapel pin called "Two Balls and Cane" in the sicko shape
of a phallic cane with a "ball" on either side of it. We don't imagine
they let their wives in on this one, apparently they are told to tell
them if they ask about it that it has something to do with Golfing!
"Brotherly Love" don't you know. See the last section below for who
Tubal-Cain was, and what that says about the nature of Freemasonry .
The Substitute Word of a Master Mason
During the blood chilling initiation of "being given the third
degree", the candidate is told the "Master's Word" has been lost and
instead a "substitute word" is whispered into his ear, "Mah Ha Bone".
The Secret Word:
Not to be confused with the password. The Word (always capitalized) is
so secret that initiates are taught it one letter at a time. First
they learn A, then O, then M, and finally I. The Word is *IAOM* .
You never get a straight story as to what it means. As best as anyone
can figure, it is the ineffable name of god, or some approximation
thereof. The Word (or Name) is a tongue-twister. It takes some
practice to get it right. The following pronunciation guide is
from Masonry and Its Symbols in the Light of Thinking and
Destiny by Harold Waldwin Percival:
The Name is pronounced as follows: It is started by opening the lips
with an "ee" sound graduating into a broad "a" as the mouth opens
wider with lips forming an oval shape and then graduating the sound to
"o" as the lips form a circle, and again modulating to an "m" sound as
the lips close to a point. This point resolves itself to a point
within the head. Expressed phonetically the Name is "EE-Ah-Oh-Mmm" and
is pronounced with one continuous out-breathing with a slight nasal
tone in the manner described above. It can be correctly and properly
expressed with its full power only by one who has brought his physical
body to a state of perfection... Note: this "word" or letter sequences
is very similar if not identical to the ones contained in prayers of
the Gnostics in the Nag Hamadi Library recovered from the sands of
Egypt in 1945 (not to be confused with the Dead Sea Scrolls
recovered from the sands of Judea in 1947).
The "High Sign" or Grand Masonic Hailing Sign of Distress
A phrase or gesture which is only to be used in extreme
circumstances is the Grand Masonic Hailing Sign of Distress,
or "High Sign". A Masonic defendant in court or
"caught in the pinch" might bury his head in his hands and cry,
"Oh Lord, my God, is there no help for the widow's son?"
The gesture which can accompany this is for the mason to raise his
arms over his heads in a "hands up" fashion and then lower them in
three distinct stages pivoting his arms at the elbows until they
are perpendicular to the ground keeping his palms down.
Any Mason seeing this gesture or hearing these words is oath
bound to do anything possible to save the other Mason from
danger, up to, but not including, the loss of his own life.>>

How do Masons Secretly Identify Other Masons
From About Freemasons
Many masons today are proud of their fraternity and have coffee cups,
<math>cuff links, tie tins, bumper stickers, pens, paper weights,
shirts, caps, and other paraphernalia with Masonic symbols on them. Of
course, == masons may also recognize each other from local meetings
and charity work. Despite some popular perceptions, Freemasonry is
not as secretive as people think and many people discuss their
affiliations fairly openly. ' In the past, identifying other masons
was an important affair. Hundreds of years ago, masons were crucial
in creating buildings, as many buildings were made of stone, and
in building infrastructure. Free == masonry was originally an
organization for these professional artisans and membership proved
that a mason was qualified for work. However, official paper</math>
documents were not widely used and background checks as well as other
means of modern communication were obviously not available. Foremen
and employers needed to know whether a mason was qualified but masons
often traveled for work, so identifying qualified candidates was
difficult.
For both masons and foremen, secret symbols and means of
identification were useful. Foremen could tell by handshakes, secret
words, and other means whether a person was a mason and what degree of
qualifications that mason had. The mason would learn the secret words
and handshakes as well as the skills of the trade from a master mason.
For the mason traveling to a new place, code words and handshakes were
a way to identify other masons in the area and Freemasonry provided a
fraternity and support even when a mason traveled far from home.
Today, secret handshakes and symbols are not used to establish
qualifications for a job, but they can be used to help masons identify
each other. Through symbols and other means, masons can identify each
other and therefore feel part of a greater society or fraternity.
If a mason is in trouble, being able to ide ....they are the devil
.......fy another mason is also useful, since masons are bound
to help each other.
There are many ways that masons can identify each other. The Masonic
handshake is one popular way. There are in fact a number of Masonic
handshakes, with each degree attained in masonry using a unique and
slightly different handshake. Masons also have other special signals,
such as the Hough Signal, a signal made with the arms to indicates
distress and a request for help. Many masons also wear clothing,
accessories, or have items near them that have Masonic symbols
– such as the square and compass -- on them. This can make it
easy for other masons to identify them.
Masons also use the word *IAOM* to identify each other. This word is
secret and masons only learn it by degrees. There is a specific way to
pronounce it -- EE-Ah-Oh-Mmm – which is familiar usually only to
masons. The word is often used to refer to a higher power and because
it requires some practice to pronounce correctly is one way that
masons can identify one another; someone who is not a mason
would have trouble pronouncing the word correctly.

MASONRY and ITS SYMBOLS : In the Light of Thinking and Destiny
by HAROLD WALDWIN PERCIVAL
<<In the Seventh Degree or Royal Arch are symbolized events which preceded the completion of the temple, and some information is given about the Word. The candidate is made to represent one of three Masons who ... were given tools and directed to begin their labors at the North East corner of the ruined temple.
There they discovered a secret vault under a trap which was the keystone of an arch. The keystone taken before the Grand Council was there discovered to be the keystone of the principal arch in Solomon’s Temple. Lowered by cable-tow into the vault the candidate finds three small trying-squares which are by the Grand Council recognized as the Master’s Jewels of King Solomon, of King Hiram of Tyre and of Hiram Abiff. On another descent a small box is found which is recognized by the Grand Council as the Ark of the Covenant. Out of this chest are taken a pot of manna and four pieces of paper containing in right angles and dots the key to a mystery language. With this key three mysterious words written in triangular form upon the Ark become readable as the name of God in the Chaldaic, Hebrew and Syriac languages; and this Name of the Deity is in the ritual said to be the long lost Master Mason’s Word or Logos. This identification among modern Masons of the Name and the Word is a blind, or is due to a mistake.
The Name and the Word are distinct and not the same. The name of the Triune Self, however, is Brahm{A}, Vishn{U}, Brah{M}, the last letters of which are the Word. The Hebrew Name is Jehovah, and modern Masons have adopted this. It is a name of the ruler of the physical world and its four planes.
At one time this God acted through human physical bodies which were sexless, then he acted through human bodies which were bisexual, and now he acts through human bodies that are male human bodies and that are female human bodies. The Name is the name of the body and the body must be rebuilt into a balanced male-female body before it is the Name and the dweller in the body can breathe the Name. The Name belongs to the body, is of the four elements and hence has four letters, Jod, He, Vav, He. The Name is ineffable until such time as it can be breathed by the dweller in a normal balanced or sexless physical body.
The Word, an English translation of the Logos, as used by St. John, is not the Name. It is an expression of the full Triune Self powers, each of the three parts being represented in it by a sound, and the perfect body in which the Triune Self dwells being also represented by a sound. The doer part is expressed as {A}, the thinker part as {U} or {O}, the knower part as {M}, and the perfect body as {I}. The Word is {I-A-O-M}, in four syllables or letters. The expression of the perfect body and the Triune Self as these sounds is an expression of the Conscious Light of the Intelligence through that Self and body. When a part in its physical body sounds as IAOM each of the parts sounds AOM, and each represents a Logos. The knower is then the First Logos, the thinker the Second Logos and the doer the Third Logos. The Word is symbolized by a circle in which are a hexad of two interlaced triangles, and the point in the center. The point is the M; the triangle aries, leo, sagittary is the A; the triangle gemini, libra, aquarius is the U or the O; and the circle is the fully expressed point M as well as the line of the body I. The hexad is made up of the macrocosmic signs standing for the sexless triad and the androgynous triad, the triangle of God as Intelligence and the triangle of God as nature. These letters in which the perfect Self sounds, are symbolized in Masonry by the square and compass or the emblem of the interlaced triangles.
There is a succinct relationship of the Word with the Ineffable Name. The Word is feeling-and-desire, the doer. The doer is lost in the body of flesh and blood in the world of life and death. Thus the doer is the lost Word. The body, when perfected, serves as the instrument through which the doer pronounces the Ineffable Name. The Ineffable Name and the embodied Word, when one is fitted to speak it, is IAOM. By so doing the body is raised from a horizontal to an upright position.>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Bet_Your_Life
<<You Bet Your Life is an American quiz show that aired on both radio
and television. The most well-known version was hosted by Groucho Marx
of the Marx Brothers, with announcer and assistant George Fenneman.
Some show tension revolved around whether a contestant would say the
"secret word", a common word REVEalED to the audience at the show's
outset. If a contestant said the word, a toy duck resembling Groucho
with a mustache and eyeglasses, and with a cigar in its bill,
descended from the ceiling to bring a $100 bill. A cartoon of a duck
with a cigar was also used in opening title sequence. In one episode,
Groucho's brother, Harpo, came down instead of the duck, and in
another, a model came down in a birdcage with the money. Marx
sometimes slyly directed conversation to encourage the secret
word to come up. The duck was also occasionally replaced
with a wooden Indian figure.>>

<<The Word (always capitalized) is so secret that

Twelfe Night, or, What you will.
(Folio 1, 1623) Act II, scene V
Maluolio : I may command where I adore,
. but silence like a Lucresse knife:
. With bloodlesse stroke my heart doth gore,
. M.O.A.I. doth sway my life.
Fabian : A fustian riddle.
Sir Toby : Excellent Wench, say I.
Maluolio : M.O.A.I. doth sway my life. Nay
. but first let me see, let me see, let me see.
Fabian : What dish a poyson has she drest him?
Sir Toby : And with what wing the stallion checkes at it?
Maluolio : I may command, where I adore: Why shee may
. command me: I serue her, she is my Ladie. Why this is

. that resemble something in me? Softly, M.O.A.I.
Sir Toby : O I, make vp that, he is now at a cold sent.
Fabian : Sowter will cry vpon't for all this,

Maluolio : M. Maluolio, M. why that begins my name.
Fabian : Did not I say he would worke it out,
. the Curre is excellent at faults.
Maluolio : M. But then there is no consonancy in the sequell

Fabian : And O shall end, I hope.

The Secret Grip of a Master Mason:
It's a regular handshake, except that you press your thumb against the
base joints between the index finger and middle finger of the man you
are shaking hands with. It looks pretty much like any other handshake;
only the men shaking hands can feel the difference. The correct
response is to ask if this grip has name and then "syllable it" with
the shakee until the password of a Master Mason is arrived at.
The Secret Password of a Entered Apprentice
The password of the 1st degree, or the 'Entered Apprentice' degree is
'Boaz'.
The Secret Password of a FellowCraft
The password of the 'Second Degree', or 'Fellowcraft Degree' is
'Shibboleth'.
The Secret Password of a Master Mason:
'Tubal Cain' is the password of a Master Mason, which is the 'Third
Degree'. Some of the more obtuse and perverse masons wear a tie
stickpin or lapel pin called "Two Balls and Cane" in the sicko shape
of a phallic cane with a "ball" on either side of it. We don't imagine
they let their wives in on this one, apparently they are told to tell
them if they ask about it that it has something to do with Golfing!
"Brotherly Love" don't you know. See the last section below for who
Tubal-Cain was, and what that says about the nature of Freemasonry .
The Substitute Word of a Master Mason
During the blood chilling initiation of "being given the third
degree", the candidate is told the "Master's Word" has been lost and
instead a "substitute word" is whispered into his ear, "Mah Ha Bone".
The Secret Word:
Not to be confused with the password. The Word (always capitalized) is
so secret that initiates are taught it one letter at a time. First
they learn A, then O, then M, and finally I. The Word is *IAOM* .
You never get a straight story as to what it means. As best as anyone
can figure, it is the ineffable name of god, or some approximation
thereof. The Word (or Name) is a tongue-twister. It takes some
practice to get it right. The following pronunciation guide is
from Masonry and Its Symbols in the Light of Thinking and
Destiny by Harold Waldwin Percival:
The Name is pronounced as follows: It is started by opening the lips
with an "ee" sound graduating into a broad "a" as the mouth opens
wider with lips forming an oval shape and then graduating the sound to
"o" as the lips form a circle, and again modulating to an "m" sound as
the lips close to a point. This point resolves itself to a point
within the head. Expressed phonetically the Name is "EE-Ah-Oh-Mmm" and
is pronounced with one continuous out-breathing with a slight nasal
tone in the manner described above. It can be correctly and properly
expressed with its full power only by one who has brought his physical
body to a state of perfection... Note: this "word" or letter sequences
is very similar if not identical to the ones contained in prayers of
the Gnostics in the Nag Hamadi Library recovered from the sands of
Egypt in 1945 (not to be confused with the Dead Sea Scrolls
recovered from the sands of Judea in 1947).
The "High Sign" or Grand Masonic Hailing Sign of Distress
A phrase or gesture which is only to be used in extreme
circumstances is the Grand Masonic Hailing Sign of Distress,
or "High Sign". A Masonic defendant in court or
"caught in the pinch" might bury his head in his hands and cry,
"Oh Lord, my God, is there no help for the widow's son?"
The gesture which can accompany this is for the mason to raise his
arms over his heads in a "hands up" fashion and then lower them in
three distinct stages pivoting his arms at the elbows until they
are perpendicular to the ground keeping his palms down.
Any Mason seeing this gesture or hearing these words is oath
bound to do anything possible to save the other Mason from
danger, up to, but not including, the loss of his own life.>>

How do Masons Secretly Identify Other Masons
From About Freemasons
Many masons today are proud of their fraternity and have coffee cups,
<math>cuff links, tie tins, bumper stickers, pens, paper weights,
shirts, caps, and other paraphernalia with Masonic symbols on them. Of
course, == masons may also recognize each other from local meetings
and charity work. Despite some popular perceptions, Freemasonry is
not as secretive as people think and many people discuss their
affiliations fairly openly. ' In the past, identifying other masons
was an important affair. Hundreds of years ago, masons were crucial
in creating buildings, as many buildings were made of stone, and
in building infrastructure. Free == masonry was originally an
organization for these professional artisans and membership proved
that a mason was qualified for work. However, official paper</math>
documents were not widely used and background checks as well as other
means of modern communication were obviously not available. Foremen
and employers needed to know whether a mason was qualified but masons
often traveled for work, so identifying qualified candidates was
difficult.
For both masons and foremen, secret symbols and means of
identification were useful. Foremen could tell by handshakes, secret
words, and other means whether a person was a mason and what degree of
qualifications that mason had. The mason would learn the secret words
and handshakes as well as the skills of the trade from a master mason.
For the mason traveling to a new place, code words and handshakes were
a way to identify other masons in the area and Freemasonry provided a
fraternity and support even when a mason traveled far from home.
Today, secret handshakes and symbols are not used to establish
qualifications for a job, but they can be used to help masons identify
each other. Through symbols and other means, masons can identify each
other and therefore feel part of a greater society or fraternity.
If a mason is in trouble, being able to ide ....they are the devil
.......fy another mason is also useful, since masons are bound
to help each other.
There are many ways that masons can identify each other. The Masonic
handshake is one popular way. There are in fact a number of Masonic
handshakes, with each degree attained in masonry using a unique and
slightly different handshake. Masons also have other special signals,
such as the Hough Signal, a signal made with the arms to indicates
distress and a request for help. Many masons also wear clothing,
accessories, or have items near them that have Masonic symbols
– such as the square and compass -- on them. This can make it
easy for other masons to identify them.
Masons also use the word *IAOM* to identify each other. This word is
secret and masons only learn it by degrees. There is a specific way to
pronounce it -- EE-Ah-Oh-Mmm – which is familiar usually only to
masons. The word is often used to refer to a higher power and because
it requires some practice to pronounce correctly is one way that
masons can identify one another; someone who is not a mason
would have trouble pronouncing the word correctly.
