Named Grand Lodge of Illinois "Book of the Year" for 2018! This down to Earth book by Michael R. Poll provides suggestions and advice on dealing with Lodge and Scottish Rite issues such as Masonic law, Lodge operation, visitors, poor degrees, meals, officer roles, poor attendance, Masonic philosophy and history, the future of Freemasonry, and so much more.

New York Times best-selling writer and Masonic historian Michael R. Poll gives us a wonderful collection of some of his best Masonic papers and lectures. From rethinking long held beliefs regarding the early development of the Scottish Rite to the general philosophy and needs of today's Freemasonry, this book provides education, enlightenment, and enjoyment.

The papers in this book explore the soul of Masonic Alchemy and why our symbols, rituals, and teachings are tools of actual initiation and not a club's curious joining ceremony. The friendly, but empty Masonic lodge meetings are just not enough.

Seeking Light is an approachable, easy-to-understand collection of common Masonic philosophy and practices. The audio provides clear thoughts and advice on many of today's Masonic questions and the situations that plague our lodges and members. It is the esoteric heart of Freemasonry.

The goal is simple: to provide a view of the problems that we face in today's Freemasonry and offer opinions on solving these problems. The one goal is to inspire the listener to realize that Freemasonry is far more than a social club. Once this is realized, then those who are willing can do what is needed to bring the Age of Enlightenment back to Freemasonry.

Sometimes a published history provides a clear window into events of the past. Other times, it is written to create a confusing fog, to mislead the listener, and obscure a proper understanding of past events. This book is designed to dispel the fog and offer a clear look at the early development of the beautiful and highly valuable Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.

The world and everything in it is changing. Freemasonry is facing new challenges. How will we deal with them? Will we rage at things that have changed our plans? Will we be paralyzed in confusion by the changes? We can’t choose or know what will happen tomorrow, but we can choose how we will respond.

The world is in a time of change. We are in a time of divided thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Likewise, Freemasonry is evolving. We are moving past the stagnation of the club atmosphere with our return to being Seekers of Light. This book is designed to be a guide, a trestleboard of sorts, to the changes taking place in Freemasonry.

This is a book of balance. It takes a look at the past and present of Freemasonry. It looks at who we were, who we are, and who we can again become. The craft lodge and how to improve the lodge experience is a focus along with looking at our philosophy and the purpose of Freemasonry. Freemasons are unique individuals. This book shows why.
