There are, within Freemasonry, a number of references to ‘Time’ and paramount amongst these is the phrase “Time Immemorial”.
There is also a phrase which comes from the address to the Master on his installation and refers to ‘when time, with you, shall be no more’. In some Constitutions the words with you are omitted.
But first, Time Immemorial; everyone knows what it means but few are able to define it. It could mean ‘within living memory’- ‘since time began’ or even ‘before time began.
It could mean within some legally stipulated period or the beginning of some particular era, organisation or philosophy.
