-------------- BABEL --------------

Babel best exemplifies "idolatry" in that men often confuse words with things. Masterful Masons look through the veils that are manifested by words and into what is truly being communicated behind them. Words are but veils for the messages they conceal. The Tower of Babel is where Masonry was lost. When you understand what the story of Babel conveys, and what Masonry makes effort to undo, you lift the Veil of the Allegory and begin Traveling upon Masonry's Road.

-------------- BOOK REVIEW -------------- 

Here is my full review of The Craft Unmasked as shown on Amazon:

 

Being a Mason, I devoured this book in three days. And being like so many Masons the world over, perplexed as to the true historical origin of our Craft and Freemasonry Ritual, I couldn't wait to get to the core of what the author presented. Brother John S. Nagy simply stunned me with his findings. 

 

The analytical research he compiled backs up his claims so logically that it's hard to refute. What he sheds a spotlight on simply makes sense if you are a member of this fraternity, have gone through the three degrees, and have expected so much more but now find yourself sitting through boring business meetings at lodge.

 

In a clearly understandable writing style of short chapters and short bursts of information, Nagy answered many questions – and disillusionments– I've had since joining Freemasonry over a decade ago. Good men join to improve themselves, to better their character, to become self-reliant, self-sufficient, self-regulated, to learn moral lessons and apply them to their time as players on the stage of life.

 

Now I know why Freemasonry struggles with retaining its membership and how much work a Brother truly must put into his own personal "Mysteries."
