The first complete architectural reference of the two pillars in our Fellow craft lecture deals very extensively with the design, height, weight, how they were cast, the location of their casting, the symbolic meaning of their adornments, where they were positioned, and the decorous names which are associated with them.

In this Dual-Unity we find the key to all conceivable involution or evolution of Spirit; and it is therefore not without reason that the record of these two ancient pillars has been preserved in our Scriptures.

That same father wants more from his son and draws him a master map that promises him a better future.

These symbolic structures should become a pathway for all men to tread throughout there earthly existence.

The son discovers on the journey his own dissatisfaction with life and realizes his father had a lot to do with it.

One question in our minds might be: Were they an architectural feature or an ornamental feature used to garnish the beauty of the Temple? It is universally conceived that the two pillars were cast in one piece, and this common belief is expressed and emphasized in the Fellow craft lecture, which informs us that the pillars were cast of a hollow nature and to function as repositories.

The Senior Warden's and the Junior Warden's columns are typically about twenty five inches long, and symbolically, but perhaps mistakenly, are taken to be supports for the porch of King Solomon's Temple.

In this the temple was a contrast to the tabernacle.
