Wilmshurst that delves into the esoteric teachings of Freemasonry. The book is divided into three parts and explores the symbolism and meaning behind the various rituals and ceremonies that are a part of Freemasonry. The first part of the book focuses on the Entered Apprentice degree, the second part on the Fellow Craft degree, and the third part on the Master Mason degree. Wilmshurst provides a detailed analysis of each degree, explaining the symbolism behind the various symbols, gestures, and words used in the ceremonies. He also explores the spiritual and philosophical aspects of Freemasonry, discussing the role of the individual in the organization and the importance of personal growth and development. Throughout the book, Wilmshurst emphasizes the importance of the Masonic journey as a path towards self-discovery and enlightenment. He argues that the true purpose of Freemasonry is to help individuals achieve a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them, and to use this understanding to make a positive impact on society. Ceremony of Passing is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the teachings of Freemasonry. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, philosophy, and symbolism of this ancient organization.We are to examine now a Ceremony which, because it is less dramatic and spectacular than that of the First Degree, is often regarded as a somewhat colourless interlude between the impressive surprises of the one which precedes and the awesome grandeur of the one which follows it. Being a 'veil of allegory' the Ceremony must not only be looked at but looked through, if its significance is to be realized. The Ceremony is called one of 'passing', since it relates to a midway, transitional phase of personal experience through which every aspirant to perfection must inevitably pass before he can think of attaining the ultimate degree of soul-development and mastership to which our system leads.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
