This book is aimed, primarily, at the newly initiated Mason, but it is also for those older Masons who have not delved into the depth of meaning in Masonic ceremonies. As Freemasonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols, this book takes a look at what those allegories and symbols are hinting at. The creators of the amazing Masonic degree ceremonies have added a layer of meaning that goes beyond the obvious moral lessons and starts to point the Mason who seeks light towards a more spiritual understanding of himself and the reason for his existence in this world. This is the first of three volumes, each aimed at one of the three Craft Degrees.
Bro. Robert V. Lund, you brought the ritual to life. You brought the lodge to life in all aspects. You took me behind the veil of the exoteric lodge into the esoteric lodge of my divinity, the center, my highest self. I greatly appreciate this pragmatic work. "When a man believes in the value of the advice given him and applies it, he establishes within himself the reality of success." -Neville Goddard
3.5 Common theme is "Don't have time to expand". Kind of defeats the purpose of it then? Plus wasn't happy there was references to the the other degrees and parts of their rituals and meanings behind them. King of defeats the purpose of the book being for EAs. Didn't really think there's be spoilers. Overall though an interesting book and definitely mind opening to things in Masonry. Will continue to read the series as I go through the degrees.
This is the start of a series that I think Ever Master Mason should work through if they are even in the slightest bit esoterically inclined. I am still working through the other two books in the series, and mixing them in to my other studies as well. But I strongly recommend this book and the entire three book series.
