'Level Steps: 100 Daily Meditations for Freemasons' is a beautiful and practical book offering insight and inspiration to all Freemasons who are interested in the deeper meaning of the Craft, as well as an instrument of understanding for their families and friends and all those searching for guidance and spiritual insight.

Following on from the success of 'Level Steps: 100 Daily Meditations for Freemasons,' this companion volume offers further practical insights into the deeper spiritual meanings of Freemasonry, with particular reference to the symbolism and forms of the Holy Royal Arch.

In this new volume of Masonic Meditations, the author of 'Level Steps' and 'Hidden Depths' sets out to reacquaint us with the beauty of the Psalms – both their innate poetry and the richness and humanity of their teachings. The accompanying meditations serve as inspirations for further contemplation and study. With their underlying message of love of God and strength in adversity, these meditations are offered in the hope that they will deepen our love and understanding of Freemasonry and of life itself.

The newest volume from the author of 'Level Steps' and 'Hidden Depths' is a lightly edited compilation of all four previous books of 'Masonic Meditations.' Here, for the first time, all 365 inspirational quotations and meditations are presented together in a form that encourages us to consider deeply what it means to be a Freemason and to contemplate the true and timeless teachings of our beloved Craft. Set out with a Meditation for every day of the year, this is a unique opportunity to make a genuine daily advancement in Masonic knowledge and to develop a real, heartfelt understanding of Masonic principles.

'To become a Mason is to acknowledge that material life ultimately lacks that which will satisfy our deepest selves. With all its joys and pains, even with great success and real accomplishment, in the end, a time will come when all earthly happiness will count for nothing and our souls will long for something more fulfilling, more lasting and more real'. This second volume of Masonic Meditations inspired by the Book of Psalms continues where the first one left off, thus completing the cycle which offers inspiring thoughts on all 150 Psalms in a series of 165 'meditations.'

Marcus Aurelius was Emperor of Rome from 161 to 180CE. He was also a Stoic philosopher and is best known for his 'Meditations.' This new book from the author of 'Level Steps' and 'Hiram's Way' explores some of these Meditations from a Masonic perspective and offers deep and contemplative insights into the place and value of Freemasonry in today's world.

Almost the first thing that we ask for as newly-made Masons is light. From that moment, we are led through the teachings of the Craft until, as Master Masons, we face the ultimate test of our courage and fidelity, only to learn that all the light we have thus far accumulated is but darkness visible. And so we start to ask, if the light of this world is only darkness visible, what is true light? Where does it come from? How do we acquire it? How do we benefit from it? How do we use it for the benefit of others? And how, ultimately, do we become it? And so begins our quest.
