I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids, and have found out how the Egyptians and the ancient builders in Peru, Yucatan, and Asia, with only primitive tools, raised and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons!
---Edward Leedskalnin
I love this chap and his story. He built a castle out of coral all by himself, with no heavy equipment. He was seen levitating huge stones. If you access this link you might find out how he did it. Twin magnetic forces, which form grids, did put me in mind of the Pillars and the Pavement. www.world-mysteries.com/mpl_coralcastle1.htmA good weekend read.

Does the word "Florida" shed some light on the reason?

Because the area abounds in it. Naturally occuring resource and extremely heavy material apparently... which surprised me.

I read the links I provided on Ed last night and the info started to translate itself into an image... the result of this was an explanation (for me) of why the layout of our lodgeroom is as it is. It also gave me another reminder of why the sun, though it rises in the east, is always at its meridian (longitude) in the south. Here is a very rough idea of the image that came to mind. Ignore the scribbling at the side. West South North East The mosaic pavement's black and white squares represent positive and negative magnetism ? The mosaic pavement should be circular ? The 'mosaic pavement' could be donut shaped ? With little imagination one can see that, in motion, the mosaic pavement would/could look like the ying/yang symbol. The pavement moves, the sun doesn't. The light needs the darkness This is a plan for perpetual motion... physically and spiritually. Yeah!! God bless "G" for Genius.

... so theoretically one should be able to power a motorized vehicle using magnets ...

...aand I do believe that the rh side of a male is, magnetically speaking, positive (hence the direction of circumambulating the lodge.. males are magnetising the pavement?)
For women the rh side is negative. If this is the case and Ed is correct, then the ideal lodge would have men processing one way and women processing the opposite way. Just mulling things over in my mind.

The mosaic pavement was circular in the east of some HRA chapter rooms - according to some HRA TBs This directly reflects the Jewish straightening of the circular arch of the zodiac to meet the straight lines of their ToL

I don't know much about astrology - if there are any astrologers reading this.. can you tell me if the twelve signs (or the twelve tribes) possess qualities which could be seen to alternate between positive (acting) and negative (receptive) as one passes by them.

Will see if I can track it down.

Here is one (not the one I was thinking of but.. ) - see half way down page. world.std.com/~snet/tol.htmInteresting that it is DAATH (Hidden Knowledge) that is 'missing' ..also note this : "The first nine sephirot were grouped in threes, each triad including a masculine element, a feminine element, and a combining element.

what does the core run on? it is not at all clear that the Earth's core is liquid - e.g. the magnetic field does line up with the axis of rotation.

Hi mgc... great pic (edit was to correct the link). Thought provoking.
Scientists talk about reversal of the poles (magnetic fields) I can't even begin to imagine how that would affect things for us. I am reminded of the bible stories which refer to the sun rising in the west. Will go see if I can find it/them.

Earth Upside Down, then Sunrise West In Tractate Sanhedrin of the Talmud it is said: 'Seven days before the deluge, the Holy One changed the primeval order and the sun rose in the west and set in the east. Worlds in Collision, p.126 In the Papyrus Ipuwer it is similarly stated that 'the land turns round [over] as does a potter's wheel,' and 'Earth turns upside down.' Worlds in Collision, p.121 At certain periods the universe has its present circular motion, and at other periods it revolves in the reverse direction. There is at that time great destruction of animals in general, and only a small part of the human race survives Politicus, by Plato
The rising of the sun from the west one of the things which must happen. Kitab al Irshad, The Twelfth Imam The Hour will not be established ... till the sun rises from the West. The Hadiths I know coach loves Plato.. Doesn't sound good does it. Geologists can see in the rocks where polarity has changed previously. zetatalk.com/index/zeta163.htm

Psalm 114
3 The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

So...
Lets say the symbols of the lodge are telling us, in part, about the laws that govern our world and what can happen, or has happened in the past, what significance would you place (if any) on the fact that the Noah story is part of Masonic Lore? Royal Ark Mariners. (It has been said that Noah was the original Solomon.)
And with the Noah story, God is supposed to have said that He will no longer destroy the world by water - hence the rainbow covenant. If the Great Flood was the result of naturally occurring phenomena, how can He make a promise like that?

The Noah story occurs in various cultures so it very likely has some basis in physical reality. But for the story to appear in Masonry it needs to be able to support a symbolic level - for example where the Earth is an ark.
KS seems to be entirely fictitious unless he was a pharaoh adopted for Jewish purposes.
The next destruction of the world is supposed to be by fire. This is symbolic but is likely to have a physical manifestation as well.
The god Ea (Ja) is/was the god of the Apsu (Abyss) - the underground freshwater ocean. According to Genesis he opened the "fountains of the deep". If so, I expect he can do it again

u know how magnets tend to align when xposed to a stronger magnetic field that is alligned differently..
if our solarsystem moves to a place where the galactic field (no idea how strong that is) is the other way round, how would that affect the sun?
what effect does curie point temperature have on a solid magnet?
