Esoteric Masonry is a personal exploration of some of the less mainstream areas within freemasonry. Some of these aspects include personal development, spiritualism, mysticism, and so on. It can also include aspects of history not commonly looked at by mainstream historians or participants. Esoterism investigates lines of religious thought existing on the fringes of mainstream doctrine. However, investigating does not mean working to prove (or disprove) one aspect or another. On the contrary, the esoteric side of masonry seeks to find additional sources to the wisdom and understanding of life and the establishment of our world hidden within freemasonry’s teachings.
