Who was Hiram Abiff?
Hiram Abiff is the Master Builder commissioned by GOD to build the Temple of Light. The Temple of Light is represented by the pyramid of the FATHER-MOTHER-SON GOD which makes up the AYE/EYE or "I" at the center. I is third person plural not singular which is the cause for confusion. Each letter represents an aspect of the TRINITY. A or E is the up pyramid for Man, Y or V is the down pyramid for Woman, and E is the Offspring or the expression. All three represent the center "EVE" within the Pyramid Temple of the Universe. Each individual is to build this pyramid within themselves and the Master Builder was to show the "Way."
God told the Master Builder to establish on Earth what was in Heaven. To explain to the people the relationship of Earth to the Stars thereby building the Pyramid Temple of Solar Light Man (Solomon) in each person.
God Said to the Master Builder:
"Of all creation I have chosen you and upon you my seal is placed. You are the chosen instrument of my hand and I appoint you to be the Builder of my Temple. You shall raise its pillars and tile its floor; you shall ornament it with metals and with jewels and you shall be the master of my workmen. In your hands I place the plans and here are the tracing board of living substance I have impressed the plan you are to follow, tracing its every letter and angle in the fiery lines of my moving finger. Hiram Abiff, chosen builder of your Father's house, up and to your work.
The Lost Keys of Freemasonry: The Legend of Hiram Abiff
Yonder are the fleecy clouds, the gray mists of dawn, the gleams of heaven light, and the darkness of the sleep of creation. From these shall you build, without the sound of hammer or the voice of workmen, the temple of your God, eternal in the heavens. The swirling ceaseless motion of negation you shall chain to grind your stones. Among these spirits of not-being shall you slack your lime and lay your footings; for I have watched you through years of your youth; I have guided you through the days of your manhood.
I have weighed you in the balance and you have not been found wanting. Therefore, to you give I the glory of the work, and here ordain you as the Builder of my House. Unto you I give the word of the Master Builder; unto you I give the tools of the craft; unto you I give the power that has been vested in me. Be faithful unto these things. Bring them back when you have finished, and I will give you the name known to God alone. So mote it be." *
