A Freemason guides a new member through the initiation, involving symbolic gestures like baring the arm and chest, a rope around the neck, and a blindfold. The initiate faces guardians representing soul, intellect, and essence, followed by a master's interrogation and a binding oath.

The initiate takes a visceral oath, faced with a choice to proceed. Upon acceptance, the blindfold is removed, revealing a symbolic hall. The Master offers friendship signs and teaches a special handshake.

The initiate is presented with objects like a ruler, compass, and chisel, symbolizing moral lessons and the 'all-seeing eye'. This marks the beginning of understanding the historical context of both the objects and the overall history of Freemasonry.

Freemasonry's origins are traced back to the construction of King Solomon's Temple around 1000 BC. Architect Hiram Abiff organized workers into a hierarchy of apprentices, companions, and masters, using coded communication for security and loyalty. This system evolved into speculative Freemasonry focused on knowledge and universal secrets.

During the Enlightenment, Freemason lodges became havens for intellectual discussion, challenging established norms. Freemasons valued diverse opinions, contributing significantly to philosophical discourse of the time. These were dangerous ideas at the time.

The construction of King Solomon's temple also explains some of the symbolism of Freemasonry. Hiram Abiff was confronted by three workers, each representing different vices, and was killed for keeping the secrets of the Masons safe. This story is why implements of the building trade, i.e. the square, compass, chisel, are so important to Masonic ritual and lore.

Freemasonry attracted influential figures seeking knowledge, embedding symbols in significant places like currency and architecture. This illustrates the widespread presence and influence of Freemasonry, often interpreted as a hidden message or guidance system among members.

The video debunks myths such as satanic pacts and world domination, tracing them back to opposition from the Church during the Enlightenment. Accusations fueled by secrecy increased public interest. The idea of a unified 'New World Order' and a plan to rebuild Solomon's Temple. The power of imagination helps these theories to grow.
