That Which We Do For Ourselves Dies

The Word Of God Is The Universal And Invisible Light, Cognizable By The Senses, That Emits Its Blaze In The Sun, Moon, Planets, And Other Stars.

Masonry Is A Search After Light. That Search Leads Us Directly Back, As You See, To The Kabalah.

The Sources Of Our Knowledge Of The Kabalistic Doctrines Are The Books Of Yetzirah And Zohar, The Former Drawn Up In The Second Century, And The Latter A Little Later; But They Contain Materials Much Older Than Themselves...in Them, As In The Teachings Of Zoroaster, Everything That Exists Emanates From A Source Of Infinite Light.

We Seem Never To Know What Any Thing Means Or Is Worth Until We Have Lost It.

That Which Causes Us Trials Shall Yield Us Triumph: And That Which Make Our Hearts Ache Shall Fill Us With Gladness. The Only True Happiness Is To Learn, To Advance, And To Improve: Which Could Not Happen Unless We Had Commenced With Error, Ignorance, And Imperfection. We Must Pass Through The Darkness, To Reach The Light.
