What we’re about
This group meets monthly to discuss subjects of import to humanity. From philosophy and religion to science, history, and politics, this study center presents, discusses and debates a variety of subjects in the hope of gaining a better understanding of ourselves and the universe around us. By meeting and discussing important ideas and issues, we grow in understanding, tolerance, and wisdom.
The Masonic Philosophical Society was created by Universal Freemasonry to promote the eradication of ignorance in all its forms. Any person who is a freethinker, tolerant and open, and who seeks rational discourse is invited to attend and learn more about oneself, the world, the universe, and Freemasonry.
Mission Statement
The Masonic Philosophical Society embraces the concept of learning, not for school, but for life, and believes that all men, who seek it, deserve access to continued education. We further embrace the concept of a community environment, where ideas can be shared and debated in an open forum. From the seven liberal arts to the arcane, we seek to gain and to share the knowledge that is the legacy of mankind.

See all- Are We Missing Sacred Messages Hidden in Our Senses?Benjamin Franklin Pronaos, Philadelphia, PA
June's study will be conducted by Bro. LaRonda Koffi as he asks the question, "Are We Missing Sacred Messages Hidden in Our Senses?"
Synopsis:
In pursuing spiritual growth, the belief that transcending the physical, to quiet the body in favor of the mind or soul, is the critical path to achieve this goal. But what if our senses are gateways to experiencing spiritual awareness? What if the simple acts of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling—when engaged with intention—could reveal significant truths about ourselves and the universe?
This MPS discussion invites curious minds to explore the often-overlooked spiritual potential of the five senses. We’ll investigate:
• Can ordinary sensations become extraordinary teachers?
• Do esoteric traditions view the senses as sacred instruments?
• Are there practical ways to “listen” to what our senses might quietly reveal each day?
We will reconsider the body as a living guide, not a limitation, to deeper awareness and spiritual evolution and how it relates to Freemasonry. Together, we’ll explore how what we perceive as mundane might be miraculous and how mastering the senses could unlock hidden pathways to profound understanding.Mission Statement:
