Quotes by W.L. Wilmshurst (?)

“In all the schools of the Mysteries, as well as in all the great religions of the world, the attainment of the spiritual goal just described is enacted or taught under the veil of a tragic episode analogous to that of our third degree; and in each there is a Master whose death the aspirant is instructed he must imitate in his own person. In Masonry that prototype is Hiram Abiff: but it must be made clear that there is no historical basis whatever for the legendary account of Hiram’s death. The entire story is symbolical”

“The Masonic tradition asserts that the wages were not paid in cash-cash was of no use to those who had already learned to do without money and metals-but in corn, wine, and oil. (Note the threefold form of the wages) .”

“Spiritual quality rather than numbers, ability to understand the Masonic system and reduce its implications into personal experience rather than the perfunctory conferment of its rites, are the desiderata of the Craft to-day.”
