This book is about death and about the ways in which it can be thought about and approached. Freemasons definitely believe in something beyond the realms of this life. Our ritual tells us clearly that within these 'perishable frames' that actuate us, there dwells a divine, immortal principle that survives beyond the grave. It is our great work to apply our reason to look beyond the different iterations of truth that religions embody and search for the greater Truth that lies behind them.

With war and conflict, climate change, famine and flood, how does a person who believes in God and in the Brotherhood/Sisterhood of all life approach these crises? How do we find a point of reference that allows us to make a stand for a more just and caring world? How do we stay sane in a world gone mad? When so many of our former certainties are certain no longer, where can we find a firm rock on which to stand? With so many c...
