Excerpt from The Mysteries of Masonry: Being the Outline of an Universal Philosophy Founded Upon the Ritual and Degrees of Ancient Freemasonry Every one that has received the degrees of Ancient Freemasonry, is aware that they represent the building of a spiritual Temple, not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Are these symbolic representations arbitrary? Or do they exist in the nature of things? These are questions that must arise to every reflecting Mason. If they exist in the nature of man, the degrees of Masonry must be, not only a likeness of the natural formations of the human body, but, of the universe itself, and the opening of the degrees and their ceremonies, must refer to the orderly changes of the mind, and the progress of creation. The reflecting mind may at once see, that all created things run in series and degrees, as end, cause and effect, that the effect, when carried into uses, becomes the foundation of other causes and effects.
