The Importance of Being Zabud Video

This presentation briefly focused on the legendary history of Zabud and a number of lessons that exist in the Select Master Degree that are overlooked in our education of new Cryptic Masons.  You will be presented with a new perspective on Zabud’s role in Freemasonry that goes well beyond the realm of the Select Master Degree.  There will also be an exploration of the Solomonic Rule of Three utilized by our three original Grand Masters in the administration of the Temple Project as well as leading the Craft.  In analyzing the process of overcoming the dilemma of Zabud’s situation, we can find that leadership in Masonry as well as in business or our governments can still learn for the good of all from understanding the Solomonic Rule of Three.
