I was at Lodge of Instruction on Tuesday past and I did the 3rd degree working tools.
It suddenly struck me that there is a paradox in the last sentence. Either a paradox or an important lesson.If the Grand Lodge above is Heaven, then that particular Grand Lodge clearly accepts both men and women.
Or perhaps we are simply being told that our souls are sexless, and that all this rationalising about unto whom we are married in Heaven is a load of chin music.

>that particular Grand Lodge clearly accepts both men and women A good realization - and there may be other species.
Equally one might wonder why we are sons of the widow rather than brothers of Hiram.
The yin-yang symbol represents the process of manifestation of Existence - out-breath and in-breath, male and female, dark and light. How can Freemasonry ignore the structure of Existence?
Many years ago I was in AMORC and dreamed I was in a very large convocation. Members of various ritual organizations, including Freemasons, sat in their groups wearing their various aprons and regalia. It seemed to me that it was human rules that kept those groups separate in the physical world. The preponderance of male-only Freemasonry has made it difficult to understand how to operationalize the FPoF.

At the Festive Board following a recent installation (Emulation), a visitor, whose Lodge works Taylor's, asked me I had no answer. In Taylor's Working they do not present the tools to the new WM.

Hmm well it does correlate to the corresponding passage:
Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
and the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
and the wheel broken at the well,
and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it. (from Ecclesiastes 12)
