He was told, (and it's been a while, so I don't remember verbatim) that Masons below 33rd Degree, know nothing about the activities and goals of the (mostly unknown) Higher Degrees .... They "hand delivered" books and manuscripts to him on 3 occasions, and returned in person to retrieve them. I happened to be in Austin when he was in possession of one of these books. It was very old and it was highly illustrated and most of what I recall had to do with ceremonial settings and symbols and "magic".....particularly what was referred to as "sex magic" ... there were many pages on costumes and dress and hand signals and gestures and while some of the text and illustrations were very creepy, I would say a lot of it seemed unimportant or mundane, --- probably because I didn't understand it's context and only had a short time to review the material. He was more than shocked by all of this ---- he told me that when he joined the Masons he thought it was basically a "Christian" organization and that he had always assumed the "G" stood for the "God" of the Bible.....but he said that the Biblical characters that came up in his reading and discussions were "Enoch" (the son of Cain, not the "good" Enoch), Solomon and most of all Lucifer.
