I recently went to a bookstore and picked up a small, blank journal. I have been using it to keep notes for myself on various Masonic subjects. I find that as I dig deeper into the symbols and allegories, it's easy to find myself going off on tangents, some of which uncover some great information, others wind up at a dead end. However, by keeping a journal and writing down what I'm find and from what sources, I'm able to collect all the data I find relevant.
As an example, I was recently researching the antediluvian pillars and their relationship to early Masonic myths. I quickly found myself down a rabbit hole with Biblical, Talmudic, Gnostic, and Islamic sources. Tying all of these together was proving difficult, but I now have several pages of information written that I can quickly look up.
I was curious if anyone else out there is doing the same thing. And, as a secondary question, how are you utilizing this information?
