Masonry and Its Symbols illuminates how any one of us can choose to prepare for the highest purposes of mankind Self-knowledge, Regeneration and Conscious Immortality.
I read The Secret Teachings of All Ages and loved it. I found this at Goodwill and thought it could add to the conceptualization and power of symbols but it was mostly disappointing. It seemed so fragmented and incomprehensible overall. Id compare it to a poor translation and really… maybe for me… that’s exactly what it was. I don’t have plans to keep this on my shelf.
Food for thought.... A feast of high concepts meant to be chewed slowly and thoroughly.
I picked this book on a whim, and now I hope the author has achieved the immortality of his triune self, beaucouse I have all these questions I wish someone could answer... Man, do I have questions...
That's why "Thinking and Destiny" might be next. I think.
