Be “The Point Within the Circle”

In “Be The Point Within a Circle,” David C. Wells explores the significance of the Masonic symbol, the “point within a circle.” This symbol, rooted in ancient traditions, serves as a bridge from non-Masonic to Masonic experiences and from Operative to Speculative Masonry. The circumpunct has diverse meanings, representing God, divine order, the singularity before the big bang, and alchemical transformations. In Masonic context, it symbolizes the effort to turn the rough ashlar into a perfect ashlar and acknowledges the Holy Scriptures and the Saints John. Wells emphasizes the moral compass of Freemasonry, urging Masons to align their actions with universal ethical values and guide others on the illuminated path.
