Evil Consequences of Schisms and Disputes for Power in Masonry and of Jealousies and Dissensions Between Masonic Rites

The book ""Evil Consequences of Schisms and Disputes for Power in Masonry and of Jealousies and Dissensions Between Masonic Rites"" by Albert Pike is a comprehensive analysis of the negative impacts of internal conflicts and power struggles within the Masonic community. The author argues that such disputes and rivalries have led to the fragmentation of the Masonic fraternity and weakened its overall influence and effectiveness. He explores the origins and causes of these conflicts, tracing them back to the early history of Masonry and its various rites and traditions. Pike also offers insights into the psychological and social dynamics of Masonic organizations, highlighting the importance of unity, cooperation, and mutual respect among members. He concludes with a call for Masons to put aside their differences and work together towards the common goal of promoting moral and spiritual values in society. Written in a clear and engaging style, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of Masonry, as well as for Masons themselves seeking to understand and overcome the challenges facing their organization.1858.
