By 33rd Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall – “Freemasonry is a fraternity within a fraternity – an outer organization concealing an inner brotherhood of the elect…It is necessary to establish the existence of these two separate yet independent orders, the one visible and the other invisible.
The visible society is a splendid camaraderie of free and accepted men enjoined to devote themselves to ethical, educational, fraternal, patriotic, and humanitarian concerns. The invisible society is a secret and most august fraternity whose members are dedicated to the service of the mysterious arcanum acandrum (a secret or mystery).
In each generation, only a few are accepted into the inner sanctuary of the Work.”
