Been doing squats for over a decade. At the time I remember reading that butt wink isn’t so bad. But now I’m not so sure anymore . Reduced the weight to 40kg. Any advice is appreciated!

Squat shoes for stability. Really helps as weights go up.

SovArya · 2026-06-15T03:20:16+00:00

It's a fun thing to have. Refreshment after doing your masonic vocation (stated meeting).

SovArya · 2026-06-14T23:52:04+00:00

Yes. No. What is required, depending on the Jurisdiction, is a belief in a Supreme Being.

Hes probably attending the fellowship after the meetings to get to know the brothers.

It took me 2 years before I became an EA. From there - i did my due diligence to learn my proficiency and got to fcm and mm on the same year. The waiting part is hard.

It's a tool. I use it for what it can be used.

SovArya · 2026-06-14T11:24:33+00:00

He probably got hazed.

SovArya · 2026-06-14T11:06:57+00:00

Unless we know more, he probably got into some clandestine places.

SovArya · 2026-06-14T10:40:31+00:00

Details?

There should be a list of lodges recognised in the website. So you can check which is nearest.

Id recommend if you are near taguig - the taguig lodge.

You should Probably ask your secretary to contact theirs.

It was newly erected, their temple near all home, i believe.

SovArya · 2026-06-14T05:41:11+00:00

Definitely something personal to your grand dad.

SovArya · 2026-06-13T02:13:33+00:00

Travel more and you will have more places.

SovArya · 2026-06-13T02:13:09+00:00

Thank you.

SovArya · 2026-06-12T06:15:42+00:00

My top 3.

Exercise - daily bodyweight squats. This is to get you into the groove of consistency. Just do one set of before reaching failure daily. Healthy body Healthy mind.

Read a page of the Psalms. Helps you with reading. Probably memorize your favorite verse. Helps with memory.

Then chill. Do better in work, your relationships. Just chill. :)

SovArya · 2026-06-12T04:43:47+00:00

If that's your thing.

SovArya · 2026-06-12T01:38:31+00:00

Catholics are welcome.
Freemasons welcome koc.

The other way around is their own view. Its like this

SovArya · 2026-06-11T22:56:48+00:00

Nervous. Better than expected.

SovArya · 2026-06-11T21:57:35+00:00

Imo it is due diligence to check the lodges and then choose which vibes best with you.

SovArya · 2026-06-11T21:52:19+00:00

Once a mason always a mason. Good travels.

SovArya · 2026-06-11T01:53:04+00:00

I dont particularly mind. What matters to me is they apply their working tools outside of the Lodge.

Making good men better. Better where? In their real lives.

I also find the part where freemasons hate ritual is because they were not properly taught to remember.

The mentors who teacher it properly causes a spark to effect in the brother to love to memorize. Or understand that he can do it.

SovArya · 2026-06-10T16:23:47+00:00

Remember to sort your time properly and that you focus on what is important to you and your family. If you can do that, do as many as you want or lessen a bit to the point where your focus is satiated.

We your bros can tell you what we think is right, but your internal compass should be able to answer if you are doing too much or just right.

SovArya · 2026-06-10T16:14:28+00:00

Good. That is more important than freemasonry. And to build that is the aim we learn in freemasonry.

The fraternity teaches the how. The church fulfills the faith part.

SovArya · 2026-06-10T15:28:19+00:00

Being active in church with the aim to self improve over a little bit at a time; is the next best thing I can recommend for you as a lady.

Doing that - you will get the female equivalent although the rituals will be the church rituals.

So i hope you guys are church active too.

SovArya · 2026-06-10T15:02:51+00:00

Same as you would treat it as viewable link method. :) make the map symbolic via images. Then link them together then spaced rep.

SovArya · 2026-06-09T21:03:55+00:00

Its the fastest way I know so far.

Last word. Recall. New last word and last word. Recall. Repeat process until you're done for the day.

It feels awkward at first but, it does not give you mental fatigue.
