I passed on one at a MWATC tool meet with an ask of $ 75 . <| sep |> Hi ! I also recommend the Mormon Expression podcast . It ' s a 6 part series , on Masonry . See I would also recommend reading this address by president David O . McKay contentuploads 201507 DavidOMcKaysTempleSermon . pdf I also recommend Toscano ' s analysis of the temple endowment as a messianic sacrament . This is discussed at length in The Serpent and the Dove try the second edition . He does a rich analysis of the symbols . D o v e M e s s i a n i c MysteriesMormondptelrefsr 1 sc 1 ? ieUTF 8 qidtelsr 81 s p e l l k e y wordstheserpectandthedove I would add that due to the Masonic character of the endowment , each person is invited to discover assign the meaning of the ritual to himselfherself . You may receive inputs of the meaning from the ritual itself . Even the covenants may mean different things to each individual . There is no authoritative interpretation . Unfortunately , when the ritual is changed the meaning is changed too . One interesting aspect of the interpretation of the ritual were the lectures held after the ceremony to explain its meaning . This is documented in Buerger ' s The Mysteries of Godliness G o d l i n e s s H i s t o ryMormonWorshipdptelrefsr 11 ? ieUTF 8 qidtelsr 81 k e y w o r dsThemysteriesofgodliness . I recommend reading the explanations about the keys of the priesthood as related to prayer . I have mentioned before here in this sub that Brigham Young wrote THE lecture at the veil in 1877 . mormon . comveilworkeradamgod . shtmlIn it you can learn about the character of God as manifested in Adam . This lecture was morphed into a summary of the instructions , ordinances , and covenants , and also the tokens , with their keywords , signs , and penalties , pertaining to the endowment , which you have thus far received in the 1980 s or before . This lecture ended with this beautiful statement in part it is taken from BYoung ' s lecture at the veil . Brethren and sisters , strive to comprehend the glorious things presented to you this day . No other people on earth have ever had this privilege , except as they have received the keys of the priesthood given in the endowment . These are what are termed the mysteries of godlinessthat which will enable you to understand the expression of the Savior , made just prior to his betrayal This is life eternal , that they might know thee , the only true God , and Jesus Christ , whom thou has sent . May God bless you all . Amen . What I mean by quoting all this at first there was a lot of help to understand the meaning . The ritual had practical use in everyday life order of prayer , and the people who designed the ritual were alive to guide in this aspect . Masonry was a stepping stone for sure . Then you arrive to the point were the deletionsetc obscured the meaning to the point that you are alone to understand what it means . In 1989 the lecture said that the keys received in the endowment are to understand the expression of the Savior recorded in John 17 and DC 132 . So , in practice this means that 1 you have to experience the ritual , 2 study , meditate , etc 3 try to live what it means to you in order to achieve spirituality . By spirituality I mean what David O McKay once said Spirituality , our true aim , is the consciousness of victory over self and of communion with the Infinite David O . McKay , In Conference Report , Oct . 1969 , 8 . Hope this helps a bit . Cheers ! sorry if it is long .
