A practical guide to the symbols and rituals of Freemasonry as a
path of spiritual development and self-realization * Shares the
history and meaning of Freemasonry and its symbols * Offers
thoughtful explorations of different areas of Masonic experience,
drawing on esoteric doctrines and paralleling them with experiences
found in daily life * Provides simple exercises and practices to
help internalize and personalize the lessons presented, including
dreamwork, journaling, meditation, and prayer In this practical
guide, Mark Stavish details the spiritual lessons and rituals of
Freemasonry as a step-by-step path of spiritual development and
self-improvement for both Masons and non-Masons, men and women,
alike. He explores the history and meaning of Freemasonry and its
symbols--from its origins in the Temple of Solomon to the Medieval
craft guilds to the Renaissance--and explains how the Craft
promotes personal growth through the symbolic building of self and
an inner Temple of Wisdom in much the same way that Masonry's
rituals symbolize the building of Solomon's Temple in accordance
with the mystical architectural instructions of Hiram. Drawing on
esoteric doctrines, including the Qabala, alchemy, sacred geometry,
John Dee's angelic magic, and the secrets of the Gothic cathedral
builders, each chapter addresses an area of the Masonic experience,
paralleling them with experiences each of us finds in our own
lives. The author provides simple practices to help internalize and
personalize the lessons presented, including dreamwork, journaling,
meditation, prayer, and understanding sacred architecture. The
author also examines the crafting and use of the spiritual and
symbolic tools of Freemasonry, such as the trestle or tracing board
and the Chamber of Reflection. Providing the tools to make the
Craft an initiatic experience of self-improvement, the author shows
that, ultimately, the Masonic experience is the human quest for
self-realization and self-expression, so that we each may find our
place in the Temple of Wisdom.
