By 33rd Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall – “Freemasonry is a fraternity within a fraternity – an outer organization concealing an inner manly p hall 4brotherhood 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.”
