great Teacher of the Supreme Council of the International
Order of Co-Masonry . . . and among us, in our
city, the brother masons are the ones that contribute
mostly to spread the Theosophical Society.•
Apparently, the leaders of illuminized Freemasonry decided that
it would create less suspicion if the most visible roles for preparing
the way for the New Age went to the women Masonic leaders of the
Theosophical Society {Blavatsky, Besant and Bailey). Since Freemasonry
was viewed as a predominantly male organization, this would
prevent people from suspecting it as the center of direction.
According to Rodriguez:
The Inner circle [of the Theosophical Society], known
as the Esoteric Section, or rather the Eastern School of
Theosophy usually referred to as E.S., is in reality a secret
society, consisting in its tum of three further circles,
the innermost composed of the Mahatmas or Masters of
the White Lodge, the second of the Accepted Pupils or
Initiates, and the third of the Learners or ordinary members.
The E.S. and Co-Masonry thus compose two secret
societies within the open door controlled by people who
are frequently members of both. 6
Cardinal Rodriguez summarizes his research on Co-Masonry as
follows:
It is understood: The theosophical doctrines on the nature
of God and the soul and the relationship between
God and the soul, are the same doctrines as taught in
masonry. It is enough to read the books dealing with
the history of Theosophy to see that each theosophical
center is founded, almost without a doubt by members
of the Lodge. 7
Organizational Structure
Convinced of the fact that Freemasonry was closely connected
with Theosophy and therefore with the New Age movement, I set out
to learn more about the Masonic institution itself, studying its origin,
purpose, and beliefs. To gain insight on these matters I interviewed
a number of current as well as former Masons, eight of whom had
reached the level of either Thirty-Second or Thirty-Third degree.
What I learned from these conversations was that most Masons
initially joined the Lodge either out of peer pressure oii~the sake
of camaraderie. Many also join because they feel it enh es their
social stature and helps them advance in their careers, si ce most
prominent businessmen and government officials, they e plained,
were Masons. The Order enables them to rub elbows wi society's

elite. On these points, present and past members agreed. But the similarities
ended there.
The testimonies of current Masons differed drastically from
those of Masons who had left the Order. Current members expressed
no knowledge whatsoever of any higher religious aims of the Order.
They were fiercely loyal to the lodge and told me that Freemasonry
was nothing more than an international secret fraternity based on
good works.
Former Masons, on the other hand, offered views that could not
have been more opposite from those of their counterparts. They told
me that the organization was anti.Christ and that it was dangerous,
particularly in its higher levels, citing the previous as their main reason
for leaving, adding that it was Luciferically-inspired. I could not
understand how such huge discrepancies could exist between the experiences
of past and present Masons. I concluded that current members
either would not reveal what they knew because of the oaths of
secrecy they had taken or else they truly were unaware of these things,
not yet having reached a level where they were exposed to the underlying
purpose of their Order.
Possibly the biggest factor working in Freemasonry's favor is
that a majority of its three million-plus members in this country think
of it as a noble and virtuous society. While they should know better
than to join a secret society to whom they must swear blind allegiance,
they are usually unaware of the hidden agenda of the Order.
Men wishing to become Masons typically apply for membership
through a friend who is already a member. The new member first
joins the Blue Lodge, the basic organization of Masonry, which consists
of three degrees: 1) Entered Apprentice, 2) Fellowcraft, and 3)
Master Mason. • Initiates are instructed that each degree teaches moral
lessons. In order to earn the degree, they must learn the lessons and
participate in a ritual that illustrates them.
Once a member acquires the third degree, he may proceed in
either or both of the two branches of advanced Masonry, the Scottish
Rite and the York Rite. The Scottish Rite includes a total of twentynine
degrees ranging from the fourth through the thirty-third degree·
and is probably the more powerful of the two branches.9
Unlike the other degrees in the Scottish Rite, the thirty-third
degree cannot be earned; it can only be bestowed upon a member
by the Supreme CounciL In this fashion, the Council chooses who
i>e(:omes part of its inner circle. According to the Supreme Coundl of
the Northern Jurisdiction, this degree is conferred upon a member
•because of outstanding service to the Fraternity or for service to
