I could offer more insights on this, but I'll disgress, and would simply ask that Freemasons here clarify what it means and signifies, and if possible dispell this concern regarding what I've deduced, which if true, represents a usurpation of the authority of God who alone, as the transcendant Abolsute, trascends good and evil and may therefore stand in judgement.
The Mosaic Pavement is a representation of the ground floor of King Solomon’s Temple; the Indented Tessel, of that beautiful tessellated border which surrounded it.
The Mosaic Pavement is emblematical of human life, checkered with good and evil; the Indented Tessel of the manifold blessings and comforts which constantly surround us, and which we hope to enjoy by a firm reliance on Divine Providence, which is hieroglyphically represented by the Blazing Star in the center.

While I don't go for everything presented in the video - here is my problem or concern with regards to the checkered floor in the Lodge.
I suspect that it's a reference to the "reality" of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which leads to death and separation from the source-creator, as distinguished from the tree of life, which leads to everlasting life.

Your argument is null & the whole thread is an attempt to again take cheap shots at Masons!
So ask your parents why they forgot to teach you the basics of "How to behave when you're speaking with others."
Actually I know few things about masons, so to me he doesn't need to prove anything because I know he is right.
Your word is not good enough here.
All these threads on ATS are designed to take cheap shots at Mason's. Guess what am I not even a Mason. Just sick of seeing the unfounded & straight out lies thrown at them in this site.

I am not quite sure why you feel I need your sympathy. I am an adult and fully understand all the decisions I have made in regards my personal life.
May I ask who the hell are you to question me or anyone else here?
If you want to piss me up with your style, you may try

Masons are making decisions, but unfortunately where hierarchy lies, corruption, blind following and blind faith lies. Masons are not an exception in this matter.
