Wie setzt man das freimaurerische Wissen um Geometrie praktisch ein?

Wilmshurst reads geometry in speculative Masonry not as physical measurement, but as synonymous with self-knowledge and the understanding of human nature 1. Just as an operative builder must test his materials before erecting a structure, a Mason puts geometrical principles into practical use by investigating the fundamental substance of his own soul 1.

In this reading, practical application consists of analyzing one's inner being, clearing away the "rubble" of unruly wills and temporal affections, and disciplining the outer, temporary nature so that the internal temple of the soul can be properly reconstructed 1.
