Promethean Genesis Building Freemasonry

Tampa, FL – September 1, 2009 – Promethean Genesis Publishing (PGP) announced the soon release of its new book Building Boaz â�� Uncommon Catechism for Uncommon Masonic Education – Volume 2 written by Author and Business/Life Coach Dr. John S. Nagy. Available at http://www.coach.net, Building Boaz guides readers through a series of thought provoking catechisms designed to improve Entered Apprentice awareness, clarity and success.

Dr. Nagy says, “Masonic writings from the past shed much Light upon current day Ritual; all that one needs to do is to connect the dots.” In â��Building Boaz,” the Doctor ventures forth with a â��National Treasureâ�� style zeal into archaic Masonic books and unfolds twelve new, revealing and unique Masonic catechisms to answer questions such as:

How do the Square and Compasses play into the connection between Heaven and Earth?
What can Entered Apprentices do to Establish a Strong Foundation for future success in Masonry and in Life?
What Work must Entered Apprentice Masons do to Properly Prepare for what is to come?
What is the Fifth Perfect Point and how can it be used to determine Masonic success?
Why is the location for King Solomon’s Temple so important to Masons?
What knowledge conveyed in a Masonic preparation Ritual used for Entered Apprentices in other countries could benefit Masons in the USA?

These questions and many others are answered within this book and with Masonic precision and earnest dedication to Ritual.

If you’re looking for supplementary Light on what your Ritual is actually communicating, Dr. Nagyâ��s book is a excellent Working Tool to help you explore even further, decode deeper and understand clearer that which is in plain view for all to see.

The book presents many uncommon views about Masonic Ritual symbolism not readily seen by some Masons. Building Boaz takes unusual approaches toward bringing about understanding for readers and offers critical connections and concepts to provoke successful thought and action. The authorâ��s background in Business and Life Coaching helped support the bookâ��s design to create gradual shifts for any reader. Nagy explains, “The book helps the reader make the connections — each chapter is ‘bite size’ so the reader doesnâ��t get overloaded. Many Masons slow their progress the moment they don’t make a significant connection to the symbols. Building Boaz helps prevent this by presenting key concepts in comfortable understandable pieces — making steady connections quick and easy. It also fills the gaps just enough to leave you wanting more.

PGP will make this book available Mid-September.

a book of catechisms for the next generation Master Mason

By Karen Kidd

�The Word before you is what I wish I had been given when I was Raised.�

� Dr. John S. Nagy, �Building Hiram� Volume I, page iv.

This is how Bro. Dr. John S Nagy begins the Preface in the first of what is

expected to be a number of volumes of his �Building Hiram� series, released

in March. Filled with cipher, verse and images, “Building Hiram” strives to

make the connections that many mentors in the Craft seem to lack.

Freemasonry, Nagy explains, is not one disjointed teaching after another

but is, instead, a fully interconnected science of much more, �In fact,�

Nagy writes, �further Masonic Benefit occurs only by considering the

interconnections between the symbols, the overlap of themes and

the rhythm of the patterns continually played out from beginning to end.

�The Word before you is a look at some of these interconnections. It presents an overlapping of themes and reveals many rich patterns that can Benefit all Master Masons should they venture forth and seek the Light.�

That wasn�t how it seemed when he first was Raised, Nagy recalled. He was frustrated by

�the lack of connections between the knowledge I was receiving from the Masons who

were mentoring me left me without what I desired most � connections that pulled it all

together so it made sense to me; I wanted more!�

So he set off on his own personal exploration to find that interconnectedness and

quickly discovered he wasn�t the only Brother looking for it. And he soon formulated

questions to mark his exploration. He wrote:

�As I explored, I asked simple questions like, �what do the Orders of Architecture have to do with my life now and in this society?�, �what is the significance of this Lost Word that Masons speak of?�, �what are the Master�s Wages that are referred to in Ritual?� and �why did the Lost Master�s Word require the Presence of the Three to be revealed?� I took these simple questions and thoroughly searched Masonic Rituals and Lectures to find any clue as to what might shed further Light upon their answers.

�I came to find that one question led to another and another in a very interesting way. Ultimately, there cascaded into being a series of responses to each of my questions that created a clearly interconnected picture of the First Three Degrees. None of this would have been possible had I not had a burning desire for even more Light.�

For Bro. Nagy, the journey is still far from over but what he�s found, combined with

the knowledge others are looking for it, too, prompted him to release Volume 1 of

Building Hiram in March. He starts with what any well schooled Master Mason will

recognize as familiar ground. It takes on the form of a catechism. In this case,

it�s a catechism about �catechism�.

Catechism Primer

cat.e.chism (k t -k z m) n.

I: What is �Catechism?�

R: A word whose first recorded use was in 1502,

rooted in French by way of Latin and

originating in Late Greek with the following

meaning: to teach by word of mouth.

I: What is its use?

R: It is primarily oral instruction.

I: What else?

R: It is a book or manual of basic instruction

giving a brief summary of the basic principles of

a subject, usually by means of rote, formulaic

statement or repetition in question and answer

form.

I: What�s more?

R: A close questioning or examination, as of a

political figure, student or a person wishing to

show their proficiency of a topic or subject.

I: What�s further?

R: A body of Work expressing fundamental

principles or beliefs, especially when accepted

uncritically.

I: How may it be so presented?

R: As a series of searching Inquiries and

Responses on any targeted subject of interest.

I: What is its purpose?

R: To share Light with those so interested.

Nagy provides what he calls �Precursory Notes�, which amount to words or

warning to the unschooled, the timid and the intruder. In particular, he cautions,

�This writing makes no reference to any present day Ritual; there are no secrets

revealed within this book nor does it point to anything that is not already known

to all who seek Light. In other words, if you are looking to find secrets,

Masonic or otherwise, there are none herein to find, whatsoever.�

The true seeker that can make it past that soon finds a series of chapters and

related catechisms on topics that include the Ashl*rs, the tools of stone

builders, the orders of architecture, the staircase, the four (yes, four) ruffians,

the ancient p*nalties, the 3-4-5 Triangle, the L*st W*rd and the Master�s Wages.

I found all these catechisms insightful and thought provoking. I suppose my

favorite is �The Staircase Unwound�, a chapter that explains the 3-5-7 of that

degree �Nestled within these numbers are the echoes of years past when

members of humankind made effort to raise each

other above the common threads that held back humanity.� Nagy writes

in that chapter.

�The various explanations though pale in significance to any study a Mason may endeavor to partake of in their Journey toward Perfection. The Staircase is symbolic of life within and without. Traveling it to and from the Middle Chamber or Heart of the Temple, one is prepared for the mental and spiritual demands life offers. In years past, the Perfecting process was a valid investment and made for Master Masons beyond compare. Today the Raising of Masons not yet

making the true and authentic Masonic Journey up and down the Staircase leaves it but a symbolic relic of the past � honored for its Wisdom but not well understood much less Traveled by the masses.�

A portion of the catechism that follows this chapter reads:

I: Are you a Mason?

R: Indeed I am.

I: How may I know that you are such?

R: I have Traveled the Masonic Winding Staircase to and fro.

I: What is the Masonic Staircase?

R: A Staircase consisting of Three, Five and Seven steps.

I: Where is this Staircase found?

R: Within the Unified structure of the Temple of Solomon.

I: Where else?

R: Within the heart of every Master Mason.

Bro. Nagy is not a new author. He’s better known outside the Masonic community

for his many self-help books, including [url=http://www.coach.net/Products.htm]

“Provoking Success â�� Uncommon Coaching for the Uncommon Soul”[/url] released

two years ago and [url=http://www.coach.net/Products.htm]“Emotional Awareness

Made Easy – Uncommon Sense about Everyday Feelings”[/url] which was released

this last year. These books, along with his coaching and technical advisory practice,

form the basis of his “day job.” But as a Brother in the Craft who also is a writer,

it was only a matter of time before he turned his scrivening to Freemasonry.

One such Masonic contribution is his penning of the chapter, �The Ashl*r Unfolded�

in http://lodgeroomstore.com//product_info.php?currency=USD&products_id=741

“Lifting the Veil – Esoteric Masonic Thought”, published earlier this week by

the book’s compiler, Giovanni Lombado, and dedicated to the memory of the

late Bro. Theron Dunn, to whom Bro. Nagy was very close.
