"THE UNINITIATED WERE DEEMED PROFANE, unworthy of public employment or private confidence, sometimes proscribed as atheists, and certain of everlasting punishment beyond the grave... ALL persons were initiated into the lesser Mysteries; but few attained the greater, in which the TRUE spirit of the Mysteries, and most of their SECRET doctrines were hidden. The veil of secrecy was impenetrable, sealed by oaths and PENALTIES the most tremendous and APPALLING." ~Albert Pike the 'Pope' and 'Plato' of Freemasonry, also the only Confederate General to have his own monument in Washington DC, from his book Morals & Dogma [of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry]

"Among most of the ancient nations there was, in addition to their public religion, a private one called the Mysteries; to which those only were admitted who had been prepared by certain ceremonies called initiations." ~Pike, M&D again

"Masonry, SUCCESSOR OF THE MYSTERIES, still follows the ancient manner of teaching. Her ceremonies are like the ancient mystic shows, not the reading of an essay, but the opening of a problem, requiring research, and constituting philosophy the arch-expounder. Her symbols are the instruction she gives. The lectures are endeavors, OFTEN PARTIAL AND ONE-SIDED, to interpret these symbols." ~Pike, M&D again

"Masonry, like all the Religions, ALL the MYSTERIES, Hermeticism and Alchemy, CONCEALS its secrets FROM ALL EXCEPT the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, AND USES FALSE EXPLANATIONS AND MISINTERPRETATIONS of its symbols TO MISLEAD THOSE WHO DESERVE ONLY TO BE MISLEAD; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it." ~Pike, M&D again

"It was the remembrance of this scientific and religious absolute, of this doctrine that is summed up in a word... that was transmitted to the elect of ALL ancient initiations: It was this same remembrance, preserved, or perhaps profaned in the celebrated order of the TEMPLARS, that became for ALL the secret associations, of the ROSE-CROSS, of the ILLUMINATI, and of the HERMETIC FREEMASONS
