Produktbeschreibung
This book, written by Albert Pike, is a collection of two lectures on Masonic symbolism. The first lecture explores the meaning behind various symbols used in Freemasonry, including the square, compass, and the letter G. Pike delves into the historical and philosophical significance of these symbols, providing a deeper understanding of their use in Masonic rituals and teachings.The second lecture focuses on the Omkara, a sacred sound and symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Eastern religions. Pike examines the Omkara's role in esoteric traditions, exploring its connection to the ineffable and the divine. He also discusses other symbols and words that are considered ineffable, or beyond human comprehension.Throughout the book, Pike draws on his extensive knowledge of history, philosophy, and religion to provide a thought-provoking exploration of Masonic symbolism and its broader significance. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the esoteric traditions of Freemasonry and the deeper meanings behind its symbols and teachings.This Lecture is intended to be...I think, my last labor of the kind in Masonry. I hope that I have succeeded in rescuing part of the Symbols of Freemasonry, in some degree, from the condition of insignificance into which they had fallen and in proving that there is something in the Royal Art to make it worthy of the attention, and study of men of intellect and learning; which they have not heretofore believed. The mass of Masons are little inclined to read works on Masonry. And I think it wiser, also, to place these works in a few hands, and let what truths they may contain be communicated orally to others by the few who read them. I have endeavoured to do that for our symbols, and am amply rewarded by what I have learned. This book is extremely scarce as there were only 100 copies ever printed. This is the first reprint ever of this essential, illuminating work, on Freemasonry. Highly recommended.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
