THE MASONIC TEMPLE

The Masonic Temple is a platform where both Freemasons and non-Masons, enthusiasts of royal art and spiritual growth, connect to a new world in the metaverse.

KEY FEATURES

The offer is very diverse and subscribers can have different levels of participation and intervention in public and private VR and AR events. Access to the platform allows access to important and very diverse content, through various sources, such as Masonic Libraries; podcasts on current topics about Masonic life and society in general; meetings and exclusive places in "The Masonic Temple" metaverse where the lodges of the most varied rites can organize ceremonies and private events open to the Masonic and non-Masonic public.

We strongly believe in the true ownership of digital assets in this new era, which is why tokenized assets and blockchain-based characters, avatars and wearables will revolutionize the industry and consequently the way we view Freemasonry today. All users will have the opportunity to earn with our token and be rewarded for contributing to the success of this unique and ambitious project.

NFT

One of the most important uses of non-fungible tokens is the art market. At some point in our lives, we have all visited a museum, seen spectacular works of art and in some cases at auctions been very impressed with the value. One of the reasons contributing to these high values is the simple fact that they are unique and nothing better or remotely like that same work can ever be created again.

MASONIC LIBRARY

The Masonic temple will have the first Masonic library in the metaverse with a rich and inspiring diversity of contents, covering the most diverse authors and rites practiced in Universal Freemasonry. The library of "THE MASONIC TEMPLE" intends to be a cultural, interactive and global forum, of Masonic and philosophical inspiration. The hundreds of books and writings for consultation by all members in more than 6 languages will be a knowledge center where there will be the possibility for authors to add their written works to a library committed to being a universal reference in modern Freemasonry, but always firmly anchored to the its basic Masonic principles and origins.

VIRTUAL REALITY

Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment with scenes and objects that appear to be real, making the user feel they are immersed in their surroundings. This environment is perceived through a device known as a Virtual Reality headset or helmet. VR allows us to immerse ourselves in video games as if we were one of the characters, learn how to perform heart surgery or improve the quality of sports training to maximise performance.

Although this may seem extremely futuristic, its origins are not as recent as we might think. In fact, many people consider that one of the first Virtual Reality devices was called Sensorama, a machine with a built-in seat that played 3D movies, gave off odours and generated vibrations to make the experience as vivid as possible

METAVERSE

The metaverse is a virtual world that users will connect to, using a range of devices to create a 100% immersive experience welcoming a new chapter for the Internet. The Metaverse has become the new macro target for the world's tech giants. Epic Games, Unreal Engine, Oculus VR, Horizon and many projects such as augmented reality glasses and brain-machine communication interfaces.

The amount of money that will be invested over the next decade is based on the trend that new technologies will underpin our virtual future online and offline.

MASONIC METAVERSE WORLD

This explanation aims to set out an overview of how and why Freemason’s evolution in to an Metaverse is inevitable. The time frame for this to take place is elastic. Part is driven by the technology, part by existing Freemason’s acceptance to a metaverse lodge, which I predict will be binary, as some will be adamantly against the idea saying “its not real Freemasonry”.

As I will try to explain, “what we believe becomes real”, this is the spiritual essence of the human being and we are spiritual beings and not beings made of matter.

What is the Masonic Metaverse World ?

Can a Lodge meeting take place outside of a physical Temple ?

METAVERSE it’s spirit portal, a gateway that connects the physical and spiritual worlds.

“ We create the reality that we attract into our lives, all the time.”

These feelings once experienced trigger true emotions and emotions have vibration. It is very normal to hear from the Brothers at the end of a lodge meeting, that they feel lighter and have recharged their energies. The problems almost seem to have disappeared or been reduced. There are also Brothers with mediumistic ability who can see or feel a violet or golden vibration when the chain of union is formed. This collective spiritual connection is called an Egregore. We live in a time when technology has come to fill some of the distance communication needs, in a very efficient way.

The Metaverse will be one of the greatest technological revolutions of the century, as it will bring about the union of the digital and physical world, thought since the beginning of the internet.

Let me ask the following question. Can a religious commune with God even if he is not in a Church? Yes, it can. God is everywhere. We can find the Great Architect of the Universe always within us.

Everything in Freemasonry is symbolic. All the Temples are the mystical rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon in our mind. The Great Architect of the Universe is pure brotherly love, he is energy and because he is energy, he does not die, he does not disappear, he is immortal and he is everywhere.

This sacred space that allows us to be in another time and in another space that is not profane is a mental construction. What I mean is that Freemasonry can happen even if we are not in a physical temple made of stone. The archetype of Solomon's Temple tells us that everything physical can be destroyed. Only the Spirit cannot be brought down.

Will I be able to have a real Masonic experience even in a virtual universe ?

Is the Ritual changed by being in the Metaverse?

The most recent discoveries made by scientists, indicate that the outside world is a mental construction which can often mislead us. In fact, Reality is what we can perceive and the perception of things is given to us by our 5 senses. In other words, for us, only what we can see, hear, smell, taste or touch is reality.

Yes, there are changes to the Ritual but not in it’s basic structure, which constitutes the Masonic backbone of any rite and must be preserved. It’s adapted.

The main purpose of the ritual is to ensure that conditions exist for the invocation of the Great Architect of the Universe.

The Metaverse Lodge meeting will necessarily be different from the regular Lodge meeting. It will, however, follow an identical structure.

Is it real ?

In the world of a METAVERSE masonic temple, we can have the experience of our life. It can even be more real because technology allows us to do that.

With Metaverse, all these virtual experiences will be even more concrete, since the user will immerse himself in that scenario, through avatars and other augmented reality mechanisms.

Picture yourself in a lodge meeting. Now imagine being able to see the true Columns of the Solomon Temple, the beauty of the Moon in its fullness, the Sun shining, the constellations vibrating, the main color of the rite flooding the temple, the flame of the candles undulating, feeling the vibration of the Worshipful Master's gavels knocking on the table and seeing the magic aura that surrounds a Chain of Union.

We will be able to receive Lodge Convocations. Salary increases will be especially touching ceremonies. The Brothers who will be passed the felow craft and raised to Master masons are awarded a Diploma.
