Ceremony of Passing is a book written by W.L. Wilmshurst that explores the symbolism and meaning behind the Masonic initiation ceremony. The author delves into the history and philosophy of Freemasonry, examining the various stages of initiation and the symbolism used throughout the process. Wilmshurst explores the deeper meanings behind the rituals and ceremonies, providing insights into the spiritual and philosophical aspects of Freemasonry. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the Masonic initiation ceremony, providing both historical context and a detailed analysis of the symbolism used. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of Freemasonry, and offers an in-depth exploration of the meaning behind the Masonic initiation ceremony.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
