Keys to Masonic Memorization - Paperback

The ritual of the Masonic Lodge is at a critical point. Many of the Degrees have sections that are not being given because the Craft have not memorized them. We now have to forego sections and deliver them at another time or location, when the necessary people are available to give these lectures. Instant gratification, or the feeling of pleasure without delay, has dealt a traumatic blow to the memorization of our rituals. With the advent of television, computers, and cell phones, the past few decades of initiates have been afforded the reward of instant gratification. Our Masonic memory work does not support this way of thinking. We strive to find pleasure in minor accomplishments, yet these are rarely found in Masonry. Our ritual is not being learned by the younger generations because of lack of time, lack of understanding, and lack of memorization techniques. This book addresses the latter.
