Ancient initiates have left a storehouse of knowledge. They did not leave it in the language of a particular culture or people, but in the language of universal symbolism. This knowledge, which embraces the most important information about man`s relationship to the universe and to God, was preserved and protected through time. The wisdom of the ages comes to us in the form of the various symbols of Ancient Masonry. Among the many important concepts preserved for succeeding generations, the Ancient Masons stressed the importance of harmony in marriage, love in domestic relations and the effect of emotional states on spiritual development. They sought to portray the importance of astrological knowledge and the fact that life continues beyond the tomb. What the ancient initiates had discovered, and thus transmitted to posterity, is set forth in detail in this book. This volume is one of the 21-volume Brotherhood of Light series on the Hermetic Sciences. Written for the Brotherhood of Light by C. C. Zain, and published by its successor organization, The Church of Light, these books form the foundation for a complete course of study. They are designed to assist the aspiring individual in the quest for knowledge and the understanding of one`s physical, mental and spiritual nature.Ancient initiates have left a storehouse of knowledge.
