What is the vsl
The Volume of the Sacred Law is one of the Three Great Lights of Freemasonry, consisting of the holy text or texts displayed open upon the lodge altar during meetings ( the United Grand Lodge of England states ). Rather than representing a single religious creed, it serves as a symbol of the divine will and moral guidance of the Supreme Being, under which members are charged to regulate their actions ( an article on the Grand Lodge of India's website states ).

what does the globe symbolise on the summit of the pillars in craft masonry and do writers agree on it
The globes placed upon the summit of the pillars primarily symbolize the universality of Freemasonry. Adopted slowly into lodge practice during the first half of the eighteenth century, their presence signifies that the fraternity extends over the whole earth, embracing members across different nations, races, and creeds.

do freemasons believe the earth is flat?
Terrestrial and celestial globes are recognized symbols within Craft Masonry, representing the worldwide scope and universality of the Order rather than any cosmological doctrine regarding a flat Earth. Historically, maps were displayed on globes for convenience, regardless of medieval debates over the sphericity of the planet, and early speculative Masons used their globes primarily as map representations to excite the mind regarding the Fraternity's rapid expansion beyond its initial local boundaries.

Why does Freemasonry speak of a Supreme Being rather than God?
Adopting the term Supreme Being and symbolic titles such as the Great Architect of the Universe allows the fraternity to bring together men of all creeds and faiths without imposing a specific theology. In the Craft, members are expected to affirm a belief in a Supreme Being, a phrasing described by the United Grand Lodge of England as deliberately chosen to be fully inclusive and to celebrate the diverse beliefs of its membership.
