Whence Come You
Esotericism and spirituality are two words seldom used when describing Freemasonry, and it is even more rare to find a book dedicated to this subject.
This is such a book.
Ben Zion takes the reader on a personal journey of self-discovery, describing with the help of Masonic imagery and symbolism how any Mason, if earnest in his intentions and pure of heart, can become awakened by contemplation and true speculation upon the ritual, with a particular emphasis on shifting one's conscious perspective.
In addition, throughout this book he interweaves the fundamental principles of the Eastern school of Hindu Philosophy (Advaita Vedanta) with Judeo/Christian mysticism, finding synergy between the two worlds and showing us all along that there is embedded within all religions but one Truth, one origin, and one destination.
Upon finishing this book, the reader will be instilled with a wealth of new understanding, not only about the mysteries underpinning the Craft ritual, but about himself as a man, a Mason, and a once lost soul seeking return to his Native Land.
This book is a must read for all Masons worldwide, and highly recommended for anyone wanting to embark upon a journey of self-discovery.

One of the most beautiful and fulfilling parts of being a freemason is its spiritual dimension. This literary jewel delves deeply into this, the very "pièce de résistance" of our fraternity. Many masons have the (nontheless very respectable) idea that ours is only a social group, albeit charitable, but not strictly esoteric or spiritual, the latter being characteristics of religion, theosophy or other human institutions. However, this book is full of deep reflections through which the author clearly demonstrates that freemasonry is indeed a carefully and intelligently designed system, that allows us (if we are willing to work our tools dilligently) to obtain enlightenment and reunification with our very Source, TGAOTU, or what Rosicrucians so appropriately call the God our hearts. This is a must reading for Master Masons, who are willing to be such at heart and not only by denomination.
