The title of the book leads the reader to believe that all the secrets of a secret society such Freemasonry are/were going to be revealed. The truth is that the essential secret or basis of Freemasonry is revealed by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. One has to understand that The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was divinely commissioned and sent to ex-slave in the West for his resurrection and to make him fit to be accepted among his own Islamic brethen world over before the Final Judgement. How does that pertain to Freemasonry? The essential element or ritual in Freemasonry deals with the story of Hiram Abiff. Hiram Abiff was the master architect of Solomon's Temple. He was attacked at high noon, struck in the head and was killed. He was dragged from East to West and buried in a shallow grave. Many were sent to search for Hiram and they found him dead. They tried to resurrect him but had no power. It would take a Master (God) to resurrect the Master Architect. Hiram Abiff is symbolic for African peoples. The story of Hiram Abiff is a similitude of the African Holocaust, the suffering of African peoples in the West and how African-Americans are wollowing in a shallow grave of ignorance. The Master is a symbol of God or a God-sent person equipped with the spiritual power to raise the mentally dead to life. So this is all symbolism for African History and the African Holocaust and preludes or answers why Islam was literally and figuratively revealed to African-Americans. If this doesn't make sense, then you will have to study The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, his mission and ministry and revisit this book and then it will all come together. Much of what I said is also wrapped in Scriptual stories in the Bible. Look in the books Ezekial, Isaiah, Daniel and Hababbuk.

In this book The Honorable Elijah Muhammad goes about the process of explaining the story of Hiram Abiff and how it relates to African-American and how it was a beautiful enigmatic story that describes an actual historical event and people.

The way to sell a book about freemasonry is to simply put the words "secret" and "freemason" on the cover. Note that there are over 200 titles easily available online about this aspect of Freemasonry. I add here only for people seriously interested in Freemasonry (both its mainstream orthodox history) and its occult aspects (such as the Golden Dawn) that this book is not on the reading lists of mainstream and regular masonic Grand Lodges. There are much better books to provide you with information on Freemasonry. If you're looking for "secrets" in regards to masonry, be aware that the only secrets of mainstream masonry are handshakes, passwords, ("modes of recognition"), and memorizing portions of the ritual (which varies from state to state, province to province, lodge to lodge, etc). All other "secrets" are determined by a person's philosophy, orientation (religious, philosophical, symbolical, etc).........This book is not considered "serious" or authoritative in any way. Scholarly masons and even occult masons would consider this book garbage. The other reviews here have clearly been written by individuals unaquainted with "real" Freemasonry (also known as "regular" or recognized freemasonry, and they are certainly not acquainted with freemasonry's widely recognized roots in the Egyptian/Greek/Roman "mystery traditions", it's Rosicrucian elements, occult leanings of the 17th, 18th, and 19th, centuries). Much better books are available.

Elijah Muhammad was on to something! A lot of his info astounded Black Masons. Even a lot of his early followers were those who left the Masonic Order. However the book is a little vague but if you peace together his various statements on the matter from different source you can get the affect of what he is trying to convey about FreeMasonry. I suggest a this with two books that brings more light on the subject African Origins of Freemasonry by Zachary P. Gremillion and Huevolution of Sacred Muur Science by Timothy Myers El. These two books breaks down what Elijah Muhammad began to convey to his followers.

I CAN ONLY WONDER WHERE THIS "GREAT" BROTHER HAS RECIEVED HIS INFORMATION ABOUT THIS "FRATERNITY".
