Happy New Year…2015

Thank you my Brothers for having the faith in me to do this honored position. I

look forward to the challenges ahead to make this year

more prosperous than last. I have the fortune to review

what I had set out last year and improve upon it this

year. My goal to come up with a five year plan and

increase membership vital to sustaining our Lodge…has

not happened…I hope this year it will... Let us all put on

our thinking caps again and ask ourselves why we are

members and what would it take to get a non-member to

have the same vision. We need to ask what we do as

Masons to make a difference, why do we come out.

These are hard questions ones that we should all think

about and share so that we can approach someone and

give a reason why we belong so that they can relate

and want the same….. Another is community

involvement…we still do not have a face in San

Pedro…ask anyone and they could not tell us where

we are at or that we exist….to get into the community we have to do two

things…the first takes time the second takes money…since we are on such a

financial hold…one that might be won by our own demise….. I will forgo the

second measure in favor of the first and say that we MUST volunteer our time

into the community…yes it is hard enough to get people out here to volunteer

on a regular basis to work around the Lodge, but we need to get into the

community by volunteering and doing something…anything that will get us a

face in town…think about it, the more we do as Masons the more we get

recognized….. Last is what is it that we do as Masons here that keeps us

coming out…I think that we have great programs we have developed and this

will be an emphasis throughout the year to grow these programs and make

them vital to our success. Remember we are a Family of Freemasonry and we

will continue to support and work within our family.

Congratulations to Brother Eric Langdon who was recently installed Grand

Outer Guard of the Grand Council Job’s Daughters International. We are also

proud of Brother Roger Neider who is having a great year as Worthy Grand

Patron of the Grand Chapter of California, Order of Eastern Star.

In regards to the five year plan if you are interested in participating or

have any suggestions please come forward, it is your Lodge and your say

may help save us. I will be addressing the five year plan all year…….

Please check the calendar for the events for January and February and support

our Lodge…WE NEED YOU!!!!!

February we will honor our Sweethearts with a Family Night Dinner. Please

contact our Junior Warden for reservations. Remember all Sweethearts are

invited and dinner is on us.

Lastly if you want to receive the Trestle Board by e-mail only or both please e-

mail the Secretary with your info and if you already receive it please update

your info regardless if it is correct or not. ~Mike Logan, PM

FOR REFLECTION

2 LOS ANGELES HARBOR LODGE #332

Kundalini and Hiram Abiff in Masonry “In an old manuscript appears the statement that the

Freemasonic Order was formed by alchemists and Hermetic

philosophers who had banded themselves together to protect

their secrets against the infamous methods used by avaricious

persons to wring from them the secret of gold-making. The

fact that the Hiramic legend contains an alchemical formula

gives credence to this story. Thus the building of Solomon's

Temple represents the consummation of the magnum opus,

which cannot be realized without the assistance of CHiram,

the Universal Agent. The Masonic Mysteries teach the initiate

how to prepare within his own soul a miraculous powder of

projection by which it is possible for him to transmute the

base lump of human ignorance, perversion, and discord into

an ingot of spiritual and philosophic gold. Sufficient

similarity exists between the Masonic CHiram and the

Kundalini of Hindu mysticism to warrant the assumption that

CHiram may be considered a symbol also of the Spirit Fire

moving through the sixth ventricle of the spinal column. The

exact science of human regeneration is the Lost Key of

Masonry, for when the Spirit Fire is lifted up through the

thirty-three degrees, or segments of the spinal column, and

enters into the domed chamber of the human skull, it finally

passes into the pituitary body (Isis), where it invokes Ra (the

pineal gland) and demands the Sacred Name. Operative

Masonry, in the fullest meaning of that term, signifies the

process by which the Eye of Horus is opened. E. A. Wallis

Budge has noted that in some of the papyri illustrating the

entrance of the souls of the dead into the judgment hall of

Osiris the deceased person has a pinecone attached to the

crown of his head. The Greek mystics also carried a symbolic

staff, the upper end being in the form of a pine cone, which

was called the thyrsus of Bacchus. In the human brain there is

a tiny gland called the pineal body, which is the sacred eye of

the ancients, and corresponds to the third eye of the Cyclops.

Little is known concerning the function of the pineal body,

which Descartes suggested (more wisely than he knew) might

be the abode of the spirit of man. As its name signifies, the

pineal gland is the sacred pine cone in man--the

eye single, which cannot be opened until CHiram (the Spirit

Fire) is raised through the sacred seals which are called the

Seven Churches in Asia.” ~Excerpt from Manly P. Hall: The Secret Teaching of All Ages, pg 227

Brethren,

In case you didn’t hear, it is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Brother Dale Ogden. Just as it appeared that he was making it through the rough-est part of his treatment and looking forward to being able to attend Lodge again, Dale lost his battle with

cancer. R.I.P. Dale.

I wanted to say that it is with great honor that I was elected to this office again and I am look-ing forward to overseeing our candidates and assisting the Worshipful Master in “governing” the Lodge. We had a wonderful year full of new applications last year and did quite a few First Degrees. As such, there will be many candidates progressing through the rest of their degrees this year and I will be assisting them with their progression. If you are willing to help out and take on a candidate, please let me know as I’ll be

looking for volunteers to assist.

The latest crop of “janglers” are really engulf-ing themselves into the Craft and getting involved in many aspects of the Lodge. I am looking forward to the future Masons that are being cultivated in the newest generation that we have as part of our links

program.

Allow me to take a moment to remind all regu-lar Masons of Los Angeles Harbor Lodge #332, that are not life members, of your responsibility, nay, your DUTY to your Lodge to pay your dues.. The annual dues for 2015 will again be $236.50 due to per capita not changing. Remember, if you have not paid your dues by 12/31/2014, you are ‘technically’ in arrears. Please remember your duty and pay your dues as soon

as possible!

I look forward to a busy year of Degrees and a busy social calendar that our Brother Junior Warden Matt Stevens will undoubtedly do a stellar job maintaining for the 2015 calendar year!

Look well to the West!

Greetings from the South, or as we say in my home town “Ay up from t’South” (It Yorkshire dialect). Thankfully I can write in correct English so my messages from the South this year will be understood by all. It is now 3 and a half years since I first visited LA Harbor Lodge and in that time the social events at the Lodge have gone from strength to strength. We will be holding our regular annu-al events along with one special event in June, of which more information will follow. At the time of writing the exact dates for some of the events are not fixed but here are a current list of planned events and the month. The dates and times will be posted on the Lodge Calen-dar and in the relevant Trestle Board. January – Installation of officers February – Sweethearts and Widows dinner May – Scotch and Wine Tasting + Silent Auction June – Grand Lodge Officers Reception for Worshipful Shawn Donohugh Senior Grand Deacon June – St Johns Feast Dinner July – 4th July Lodge BBQ July – 6th Annual Old West Chili Cook off December – Annual Christmas Party and Puppet show Along with these events we will also have our Bi-monthly Mariners nights (Socials) held in The Goose and Gridiron – these are on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month and begin at 7:00pm. These events do not happen by themselves and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those in advance who volun-teer to help with the set up, cooking and clean up that each event requires. Luckily we have a fantastic, dedicated group of “Janglers” at LA Harbor Lodge who do a great job behind the scenes as they progress through their degrees. Here’s to a very socialable 2015 – Chin Chin

Come out and enjoy

some cold drinks, tasty

food and GREAT fel-
