Turning Upwards and Downwards: An Esoteric Examination of Masonic Labor

This presentation explores the classical philosophical tension between the active life and the contemplative life, using the familiar Masonic encouragement that "you get out of it what you put into it" as a starting point. The presentation examines the relationship between these two ways of living within the Masonic tradition, guided by the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle.
