Pike wrote the masonic bible. I am pretty sure he wrote something like that. I have seen a lot fundamental christians having big problems with pike's masonic bible.
Nobody knows who wrote the Masonic Bible, I would like to believe it was Francis Bacon but that is a stretch. The several Masonic Bibles I have own or have seen all bear the name "King James" and I would bet a Douay-Rheims version bearing the S&C would be a rarer find than an original Gutenberg. The Masonic Quran in use here in America always has an English translation, and the Masonic Torah is usually the same type seen in the Hillel. I have seen a few more interesting versions in the several Masonic museums, but almost always the KJV with a few pages at the beginning to denote the Officers present when the obligation was given/received upon that Torah/Bible/Upanishads and sometimes a set of cloth bookmarks that refer to the actual portions of the books. Pike wrote zero bibles in the modern usage of that word, he did however translate many foreign religious texts. I guess that was en vogue at the time as in the preceding generations Jefferson (Not a Mason) translates the Bible into English, omitting certain irrational portions. The Fundies have prolems with any organization in general, but Gnostics specifically for thousands of years...
Not sure I just saw the title and fell asleep while listening to it after some hours. It was too late. Just thought it would be interesting since we were discussing these guys.
It was a sleeper. I wonder what Manly P Hall would sound like live. I saw Timothy Hogan speak on the Medieval Alchemists and their ties to the founding of Ancient Craft Masonry, nobody left the room, nobody yawned, and I believe nobody even blinked for about 3 hours. Seeing him on youtube, nothing like hearing him in a tiled lodge. Books are a great read though. There is a new M&D for the modern age, but it is thousands of pages longer than the already thick M&D so I have not laid out the bucks for it.
This is the trick. Somehow they can kind of hypnotize you with their talk. That's what they say about Aleister Crowley also. Maybe they are all kind of stage hypnotists.

I think television is using this techniques also.

That's pretty much what I think all this mystery schools are about. Like this Rosicrucian Rudolf Steiner and many more.
