WM: What were the names of the two great Pillars which were placed at the porchway or entrance of King Solomon's Temple?
Candidate: That on the left was called Boaz, and that on the right Jachin.
WM: What are their separate and conjoint significations?
Candidate: The former denotes in strength, the latter, to establish; and when conjoined, stability, for God said, ‘In strength I will establish this Mine house to stand firm for ever.’
"The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of
the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally
misled by false interpretations.
It is not intended that he shall understand
them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them.
Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry."
