One of the things I learned was about “I am that I am”, which has nothing to do with what is in the Ritual, but has to do with what is in the individual Companion.

The teachings of Royal Arch Masonry are for us to use on ourselves not for use on others. They are for us to learn how to look at ourselves and be able to see and admit to our faults. For before we can correct our faults we have to be able to see and except them as such. Then and only then can we start to work on correcting them. By just taking one fault at a time and working on it, we make ourselves a better person and by doing this we are making the world a better place to live in one thing at a time.

For the Temple that Masonry refers to is us as individuals, for each one of us is a Temple in his own right. And each one of us is a peace of a larger Temple that is only a peace of an even larger Temple.

As we are peaces that make up this Grand Chapter it can Only Be As Loving, Peaceful, and as Unitified as we are.

With this I will leave you, in Love, Peace, and Unity.
