I am attempting the memorize the MC lecture/ aka the staircase lecture. Boaze is on the lft hand side while jachin is on the right. Is left and right the perspective as if being inside or outside the temple?

In NJ, the candidate walks with the SD so the right and left are the same for both.Not all states indicate which orientation. In California I learned "floor work" to point with my right hand when saying that on your left and vice versa. This tells me that in California it is the perspective of the candidate that matters. This makes sense as the degrees are always about the candidate. No such "floor work" happens in Illinois. Texas deletes the lecture from the SD and moves it to the east at the end of the degree so there too orientation is not specified.
The King James Version says bowls. The ritual says balls. It's a fun mutation in our ritual. Does any jurisdiction teach which globe goes with which name? When setting up I try to put the celestial globe on the candidate's right so it gets mentioned second. Because astronomy is mentioned in the second degree. But that's just me.
How do you enter a building? From the outsideI am attempting the memorize the MC lecture/ aka the staircase lecture. Boaze is on the lft hand side while jachin is on the right. Is left and right the perspective as if being inside or outside the temple?
Will do in the future. Though i haven't seen them referenced in the bible, i thought they were, thus common knowledge, however i see your point will be more careful going forward.Yeah I would maybe cipher your questions a little better as well, Rog.
My feeling is that i am facing the building, therfor it would be my left and right. Several brothers suggest the opposite. One of the more experienced guys explains its from the outside also.How do you enter a building? From the outside
Fairbanks 12, fairbanks, alaska. I believe i have my answer. Going with the perspective of entering, rather than already being inside.Just curious....what lodge do you belong to?
I have a great coach/ mentor who has set me on the right path. Thaks to everyone for the help.Lodge name, number and location? Better ask your lodge officers!

Guess what? I bet you won't believe it that GLof PA does EVERYTHING differently. NO pillars here!

I’m not sure if we helped you or just entertained ourselves. .I have a great coach/ mentor who has set me on the right path. Thaks to everyone for the help.
Don't worry, you're not the only jurisdiction that doesn't mandate pillars. Our pillars have been reduced to the Wardens columns. Although, a few older lodge rooms still have them, there's no mention of them in our ritual as physical objects in the temple.Guess what?
