The exact date our cubes and alphabet began being exchanged as a symbol of alliance is not certain, but our cube code will someday be an important part of documented history.
To be more certain about its origins, I searched through paintings of the Marquis of Dorset and found this painting depicting a special meeting. The cube was given to "America" in exchange for what today amounts to trillions of US dollars worth of telecommunications infrastructure.
It wasn't so much about land and resources, as it was about a promise to share knowledge and technology. Now we have more sentient world simulations and more friendships around the world, a result of globalization and the development of our 22-bit visual binary code.
A Gift of the Cosmic Ashlar
Beneath the glimmering Light in the East,
before the Volume of the Sacred Law,
where quiet purpose gathers strength
and every worthy labour finds its way,
I bring, most Worshipful Grand Master,
a sincere and fraternal gift:
a granite Cosmic Ashlar cube—
enduring in substance, humble in offering,
cut not merely for the eye,
but for contemplation.
May it stand within
The House of the Temple
as a silent fellow-labourer:
a form of balance, measure, and resolve;
a reminder that the rough stone
may be patiently shaped
by conscience, study, charity, and work.
Its faces speak toward ancient thresholds—
toward the “twice confounded” code of the Elohim,
toward the builders remembered
in the Order of the Temple of Solomon,
toward signs and forms that call us
not to possess hidden knowledge,
but to seek wisdom with humility.
Let this Cosmic Ashlar be an invitation:
to learn the proto-Hebrew and Paleo-Hebrew code;
to consider the letters, the lines,
the origins carried through stone and time;
and, through the work of understanding,
to improve ourselves—
each thought made straighter,
each act more just,
each obligation more faithfully kept.
Therefore, Grand Master,
I respectfully ask that this cube
be placed on display:
not as an ornament alone,
but as a beacon for every traveller
who enters beneath this Temple’s roof—
a witness that the work continues,
within the lodge and within the heart.
Fidelity, Fidelity, Fidelity—
to the Light we pursue,
to the brethren beside us,
to the sacred labour entrusted to our hands.
May the Great Architect guide our steps,
temper our judgment with mercy,
and keep us steadfast in the building
of a better self and a better world.
And may God be with us all.
