THE HIDDEN LIFE

FREEMASONRY

This sale is for an original 1926 FIRST EDITION of \"THE HIDDEN LIFE IN FREEMASONRY\" by C. W. Leadbeater, published by The Theosophical Publishing House in India.

　\"THE ORIGINS OF FREEMASONRY ARE LOST IN THE MISTS OF ANTIQUITY\"

C. W. Leadbeater was a highly developed clairvoyant and the author of over thirty books on the spiritual life and on the psychic nature of man. He unfolded and perfected his own psychic faculties under the guidance of his Adept teacher and in 1893 began his clairvoyant investigations, on occasion collaborating with Annie Besant, the second President of the Theosophical Society. His worldwide lectures presented a new viewpoint to thousands of people. This volume is rather startling to those unfamiliar with the Masonic pretensions of that group of Theosophists who hold forth at Adyar, Madras, India, under the leadership of Mrs. Annie Besant. This internationally known lady has written an introduction naively recommending \"The Hidden Life in Freemasonry to Freemasons\" who wish to \"add knowledge to their zeal.\"

This classic Masonic esoteric work is designed for the student seeking far deeper meanings in Masonry. Leadbeater reveals how the Masonic ritual is a scientific way of energizing the Masonic lodge and its faithful members so as to bring about an attunement with the Great White Lodge. In the words of the author: \"Although the book is primarily intended for the instruction of members of the Co-Masonic Order, whose desire, as is expressed in their ritual, is to pour the waters of esoteric knowledge into the Masonic vessels, I hope nevertheless that it may appeal to a wider circle, and may perhaps be of use to some of those many Brn. in the masculine Craft who are seeking for a deeper interpretation of Masonic symbolism than is given in the majority of their Lodges …\"

C.W. Leadbeater (1854-1934), was an English clergyman and respected theosophical author. Leadbeater is the author of the popular \"Freemasonry and Its Ancient Mystic Rites.\" This is an indispensable work for the esoteric Mason - Written for the handful of Masons who seek to understand the true occult-theosophical workings of Freemasonry.

Mr. Leadbeater naturally holds to the well known doctrine of reincarnation, but goes a bit farther than the average Theosophist by claiming to have accurate information of some of his previous existence on this mundane sphere. \"The only one of these previous lives of mine with which we are here concerned,\" he says, \"was lived some four thousand years before Christ in the country which we now call Egypt.\"

According to Mr. Leadbeater, our more conservative savant\'s of modern Freemasonry are on the right track when they attribute Masonic origins to the Roman Collegia and to the Comacines. In fact, all theories advanced by both conservative and fanciful students seem to have Mr. Leadbeater\'s endorsement. Succeeding chapters of the book will please those who revel in mysteries, and who take keen delight in their pretensions to Masonic knowledge not given to the profane.

Critical scholars who wish to enjoy some light reading - call it fiction if you will - can derive much amusement from this book; those who take the volume more seriously will not be injured by it, as the author\'s representations are not supported by proof such asQuatuor Coronati members and their capable associates in other research organizations demand before they will give any decided consideration to such preposterous claims.

Some interesting ILLUSTRATIONS have been collected from the wall pictures of ancient Egypt, and form vignettes on various papyri, chiefly from The Book of the Dead, of which are many recensions.

If you follow these Theosophical teachings, you will trulyenjoy from this book.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Ordained an Anglican priest in 1878, theosophist and associate of Annie Besant, Charles Webster Leadbeater was consecrated a bishop in the Liberal Catholic Church in July of 1916. He wrote, among other books, The Science of the Sacraments and Glimpses of Masonic History.

Much controversy is attached to his life. Leadbeater often claimed, for no apparent reason, to have been born on February 17, 1847 yet birth records clearly point to a later date. He was condemned in The Equinox, vol. x, by Aleister Crowley as a \"senile sex-maniac\". In 1906 he was forced to resign from the Theosophical Society for teaching masturbation yet, over the objections of some members, he was readmitted in 1909. His books on theosophy continue to receive wide distribution, although his promotion of Jiddu Krishnamurti (May 12, 1895 - February 17, 1986) as \"the World Teacher\" has led to much criticism.

His initiation into International Co-Masonry on June 12, 1915 by James Ingall Wedgewood, his association with many of the \"fringe masons\" and his subsequent writings on Masonic themes have led anti-masons to mistakenly assume he speaks with some Masonic authority and often quote, out of context, his writings on theosophy and the occult.
