“Masonry,
like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism, and Alchemy, conceals
its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false
explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve
only to be mislead; to conceal the Truth, which it calls light, and draw them
away from it” *.
The
mason author Manly R.Hall who in September, 1990 was called «the most
significant philosopher of the Masonry» by the Scottish Lodge magazine,
specifies: “Freemasonry is a fraternity within a fraternity -- an outer
organization concealing an inner brotherhood of the elect ... it is necessary to
establish the existence of these two separate and yet interdependent orders, the
one visible and the other invisible. The visible society is a splendid
camaraderie of 'free and accepted' men enjoined to devote themselves to ethical,
educational, fraternal, patriotic, and humanitarian concerns. The invisible
society is a secret and most majestic fraternity whose members are dedicated to
the service of a mysterious arcannum arcandrum [defined as 'a
secret, a mystery' **.
The
members of the visible society or 'masses' include 95% of all Masons. Pike says
about telling the truth to the 'masses': "A Spirit", he said,
"that loves wisdom and contemplates the Truth close at hand, is forced to
disguise it, to induce the multitudes [that is you] to accept it ... Fictions
are necessary to people, and the Truth
becomes deadly to those who are not strong enough to contemplate it
in all its brilliance" ***.
So,
altruism of the external body of the Masonry is simply the veil for covering
cabbalistic order, whose members are the keepers of the true elixir. They
are the true instructors “of the Lost Word”, the Keepers of the Internal
Secret.
«Masonry
in its true and highest meaning is magic. It is, fortunately, not
realized by everyone now» ****. «The Ritual work of magic is not simple
symbolic. It involves the reference to demons,
evil spirits. Nowadays “the dark forces” behind magic are sometimes
represented as forces of nature » *****. «There are only some masons today who
know… the mystical meaning hidden in these rituals.... But those who won’t
find out the truth in the crystallized ritual... are not masons, irrespective of
their external degrees and importance... True Masonry
is a secret... connection, the door, through which a pupil can pass into the
unknown » ******.
