First published in 1894, Brother of the Third Degree is a work of esoteric allegorical fiction that was written at the height of the Golden age of Occultism. This novel serves as an inspirational tale of initiation, intrigue, and a mysterious brotherhood that not only closely guards the secrets of occult wisdom but turns the wheels of history itself. Garver paints an intricate picture of the spiritual battle that rages beneath the veneer of geopolitical events - that ancient conflict between the forces of Love and Light and the armies of Hatred and Darkness. Within its pages are contained the loftiest notions of human spiritual development, perpetuated by his so-called "White Brotherhood," an idealistic incarnation of ancient Freemasonry. While thoroughly embellished with the floral prose common to his era, the image of Freemasonry that Garver creates is as it should be: educational, active, and of the utmost moral fortitude.

Written two years after the third French Revolution, The Law is Bastiat's treatise on how those in power can use the law to their advantage to control and even enslave the population. Bastiat argues that all individuals have natural rights (i.e., life, liberty, and private property), which emanate from Natural Law, and the government's primary, if not sole, purpose is to protect these individual rights. This humble work is nothing short of a ringing exhortation of mankind's equal and absolute liberty under Natural Law, the law that springs from our inalienable state of self-possession. Prepare to go on a journey to discover the sanctity of being human and dealing with governments that immorally violate an individual's rights through the prosecution of unjust laws.

Everyone on Planet Earth, with even the most basic understanding of mathematics, owes a great debt to Pythagoras, the great Greek geometrician of the ancient world whose mathematical maxims have informed the constructive arm of man for over two millennia and whose spiritual and esoteric axioms have enlightened all great initiatory mystery schools since his incarnation. Through this book, The Golden Verses of Pythagoras, Pythagoras' surviving disciples introduced his science and philosophy to the world. These teachings helped to establish underground mystery schools throughout the Mediterranean world, with fragments of the work continuing to influence modern mystery schools and fraternal orders, such as Freemasonry, even today. The teachings contained in this book have sparked curiosity and divine insight in the minds of men for two thousand years. In that spirit, the Masonic Publishing Company presents the Golden Verses of Pythagoras, such that the lessons contained may once again take root in the geometer's mind and guide his hand in all its works.

A human being becomes many things throughout the unfoldment of their path in life. An infinite number of permutations and possibilities await every new life as it embarks upon its quest. We are each the hero of our own portion of this journey, both blessed and cursed to observe this whirling cascade from the single, isolated perspective of human consciousness. Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha is a tale of such an observer. Set in the far reaches of northern India, in the foothills of the Nepalese Himalayas and in the time of the Gautama Buddha, Siddhartha follows the journey of a young boy who yearns after the higher thoughts and hidden truths of human life. Born into the prestigious household of a Brahmin, a wise teacher of the Vedas, Siddhartha quickly becomes dissatisfied with religious dogma as he reaches adolescent maturity and abandons the life-path set before him by his father to join the order of wandering ascetics known as the Samanas. Eschewing all forms of materialism, Siddhartha flagellates the physical form and all of the pleasures associated with it in the most fervent display of material denial - asceticism itself becoming only another dogma by which he is blinded. It is only by an encounter with Gotama Buddha, and a rejection of the discipleship of certainty and conviction in favor of the unpredictability of freedom, that Siddhartha is set on a winding road that leads him through the myriad experiences of life.

Unveiled Mysteries is a mysterious tale, indeed. In 1930, Guy Ballard claims to have met a god-like man on the trails of Mount Shasta located in California. As Master of the Seventh Ray, Saint Germain was said to appear clad in violet and amethyst wherever he goes and brings with him the purified essence of ritualism, hierarchy, and order. It was this magnetic personality that Godfre Ray King writes about encountering one summer morning during a walk around the base of Mt. Shasta, one of the energetic centers of the world. As the story goes, Saint Germain proceeded to instruct Godfre Ray King, then Guy Ballard, in all manner of esoteric and occulted subjects from travel in the astral plane to the lost history of Atlantis and Lemuria. He educated the astounded hiker on the Law of Life and the unitary faith of the all-pervading Godhead. He explained to him the power of the mind in manifestation, and the role of consciousness in determining one's reality.

Lysander Spooner lived in the midst of the Golden Age of America and is most famous for his work as an abolitionist philosopher and as the author of this treatise: No Treason. To explain this forgotten philosopher. we must also explain an almost forgotten philosophy - that of Natural Law. Natural Law holds that each human being, regardless of the arbitrary distinctions of biology, is endowed at birth with certain unalienable rights that are superior to whatever "rights" are granted by the law of man. These rights are not given by anyone but are instead inherent to our existence and cannot be rightfully withheld by anyone over another. For Spooner, the fact that the Constitution ensured these rights in its Preamble only to destroy them in the writing that followed was the most shameful hypocrisy. This glaring contradiction was enough for Spooner to declare the entire document null and void, superseded by the Divine Right of humanity to life, liberty, and property. However, as a lawyer, he also could not fail to mention that a contract - whether social or otherwise - is neither valid nor binding upon any parties other than those who consent to it. Like all great philosophers of human liberation, Lysander Spooner's name has almost entirely passed from the historical record and certainly from the collective memory of the American people. May his great work, now restored to its former glory, herald a new dawn in the minds of men. True freedom, not the abstract writings of self-selected bureaucrats, exists within each of us as our prime possession. It cannot be circumvented unless we allow it to be usurped. It is for that reason that No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority appears again - to stoke that fire of liberty that has burned within us from the dawn of civilization.
