like instead of applying the principles solely to stonework/ cutting/ architecture, the principles are applied to people and life instead.  So say since George Washington is a freemason, the stone he could have been working with would be considered the building of the nation.
Mason's are the people who cut and lay stone from the guy who is a contractor on houses and buildings, to the mason who from old times actually did stone work that we still plunder over ( ancient ruins like pyramids around the world, and places like angkor wat)

This is kinda like what was being discussed in the other threads about simulation and symbols. What people actually present as a image for a symbol actually creates the meaning for one. That's why any time the term mason comes up, people automatically conjure up thoughts of secret societies and boogieman type of things. because it was the definition provided to you.

[Ben Stiller]Do it[/Ben Stiller] But forreal, my dad is one. He went through the process during his first few years in the military. He said it's worth it but it's hard work. Harder than pledging any college or other fraternity.

Well if you have to ask that question you're not ready. I would recommend researching first and finding out who you might know that is a member and I'm sure they'll give you some insight.

Freemason's dont tell people they're Freemasons so if anyone told you they are one, they lied.
