Esoteric Handbook for the Entered Apprentice Mason - Paperback

by Robert V. Lund (Author)

This book is aimed, primarily, at the newly initiated Mason, but it is also for those older Masons who have not delved into the depth of meaning in Masonic ceremonies.As Freemasonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols, this book takes a look at what those allegories and symbols are hinting at.The creators of the amazing Masonic degree ceremonies have added a layer of meaning that goes beyond the obvious moral lessons and starts to point the Mason who seeks light towards a more spiritual understanding of himself and the reason for his existence in this world.This is the first of three volumes, each aimed at one of the three Craft Degrees.

Author Biography

Robert V. Lund is a Past Master of Kilwinning Lodge No. 565 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1952, he immigrated to Canada in 1996. After joining the Craft in 2005, he has served several terms as the Chairman of the District Education Committee for Toronto West District. He also served as a member of the Grand Lodge Committee for Masonic Education. He began writing articles for the lodge newsletter. Many of these articles found their way into other communications, such as Reflections - a Grand Lodge publication, District magazines, various Masonic websites, and The Light Bearer, a publication of the Canadian Theosophical Society. He also created and delivered a number of lectures on the esoteric interpretations of the Craft degrees. He considers himself a seeker of truth and, in following that path, has become a Rosicrucian and a Theosophist. His keen interest in the origins of mankind, and the origins of religions, has aided his search for Truth.
