Book excerpt: "To be happy is easy enough if we give ourselves, forgive others, and live with thanksgiving, No self centered person, no ungrateful soul can ever be happy, much less make anyone else happy. Life is giving, not getting." -Joseph Fort Newton "This hidden teaching may indeed be described as the open secret of the world, because it is open, yet understood only by those fit to receive it. What kept it hidden was no arbitrary restriction, but only a lack of insight and fineness of mind to appreciate and assimilate it. Nor could it be otherwise; and this is as true today as ever it was in the days of the Mysteries, and so it will be until whatever is to be the end of mortal things. Fitness for the finer truths cannot be conferred; it must be developed. Without it the teachings of the sages are enigmas that seem unintelligible, if not contradictory. In so far, then, as the discipline of initiation, and its use of art in drama and symbol, help toward purity of soul and spiritual awakening, by so much do they prepare men for the truth; by so much and no further. So that, the Secret Doctrine, whether as taught by the ancient Mysteries or by modern Masonry, is less a doctrine than a discipline; a method of organized spiritual culture, and as such has a place and a ministry among men." -Joseph Fort Newton "Dr. Joseph Fort Newton...is truly a Master Mason...this scholar, writer and orator holds the place...among the guiding minds of the great fraternity. No lecturer dealing with the subject of Masonic historical research has...brought more light to the subject than did the eloquent and noted divine....Sees Fraternity as influence for world peace." -Masonic News "This essay quotes from the writings of scholars who are specialists in their lines and who are eminently qualified to speak for the antiquity of Masonry by a study of the most ancient records. From the evidences to be obtained by a study of old Egypt and old India, we see that even ancient Masonry was no novelty. It everywhere seems to be hoary with age. Its symbols are older than the oldest living religion, and it would seem that ancient Masonry received them as a sacred truth to be transmitted to posterity." -New Age Magazine TABLE OF CONTENTS The Ante-Room Part I--Prophecy Chapter I.

Book excerpt: This history and account of Freemasonry explains the origins of the Masonic tradition, the gathering of Masons in Lodges, and the rituals, philosophies and secret doctrines practiced in this centuries-old order. Joseph Fort Newton composed and published this manual at the direction of the Grand Lodge of Masons in Iowa. In seeking to dispel myths, fancies and misconceptions about the Masons, the Iowan Lodge permitted the author full access to their libraries and collections of relevant lore. Once the final draft was completed and reviewed, the Masters approved this work, which is intended to give accurate information to young men who are considering joining the Masonic Order. Through Newton's narrative, we discover the rich symbolism and ideals that the Masons aspire to. Their philosophical ideas, the concept of a fraternal bond between Freemasons, and the various rituals of admission and advancement in rank are detailed. Owing to the author's direct access to various texts used in the Masonic Lodges, the chapters are authoritative and detailed. The beginnings of Freemasonry and development of their traditions are related, with Newton's work being a story as well as a cogent exploration of a system of morality shrouded in the symbolism of tools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Builders: A Story and Study of Freemasonry" provides a general survey of Masonic origins, history and philosophy. It was at one time given to every new Mason in Iowa, probably a better choice than Morals and Dogma, which is almost three times as long and much more difficult reading. Written by Joseph Fort Newton, "The Builders" offers a scholarly but approachable treatment of Masonry sure to enlighten not only a general audience, but practicing Freemasons. As a rationalist, Joseph Fort Newton deflates claims of an ancient origin for Masonry per se; rather he illuminates the historical precedents of the group. He starts with ancient Egypt, not because he believes that the Egyptians had functioning Masonic lodges, but because that is where monumental architecture began. He covers the ancient mystery religions, and the true origin of Masonry in organizations of medieval stone-masons. After a period of decline, a London meeting held in 1717 at the Goose and Gridiron Alehouse united the remaining four Lodges of England, and started modern Freemasonry. The two-tier organization proliferated into three, and then multiple degrees, during the 18th and 19th centuries, eventually resulting in modern Freemasonry. Masonry, which had started as an underground association of building trade workers, evolved into a fraternal group which included both members of the English royal family and American revolutionaries. Despite his rational stance, Newton is rhapsodic about the progressive influence of the Masonic movement and philosophy, both for individuals seeking 'the lost word', and for society as a whole. Newton claims that the world has benefited greatly because of the Masonic ideals of liberty, fraternity and equality. "The Builders" tells the Masonic side of this story. "
