Hidden In The Crypt

A look into self of a person doesn't understand where they come from they don't and want understand where they are going.

Hidden in the Crypt is a thought-provoking work by Von Borders that explores the hidden wisdom, symbolism, and spiritual lessons found within the Royal and Select Master Degrees of Masonry. The book connects Cryptic Masonry to themes of preservation, secrecy, sacrifice, faith, leadership, and survival, especially within the historical and cultural experiences of African Americans and Prince Hall Freemasonry.

Through biblical parallels, Masonic symbolism, and historical reflection, the book examines how hidden knowledge in the "crypt" represents the preservation of truth during times of darkness and oppression. It also ties these teachings to modern leadership, community building, and personal growth, encouraging readers to look beyond ritual and uncover deeper moral and spiritual meaning.

The work blends Masonic education, historical interpretation, and philosophical insight into a lecture-style manuscript designed for study, reflection, and presentation within Masonic and educational settings.
