J.L. Ledford

The Sacred Torch: The Living FlameFor Seekers of Light:This book is a philosophical meditation on Light, virtue, and moral reflection for all seekers - Masons and non-Masons alike. Inspired by the traditions of the Craft, it contains no ritual instruction or secrets of Freemasonry. While rooted in the traditions of Masonic philosophy, author J. L. Ledford offers a profound yet concise reflection on the qualities that shape our understanding of the world, of others, and of ourselves.
Within this beautifully illustrated volume, you will explore: The Prism Allegory: How our biases and prejudices distort the pure Light of knowledge and truth. The Sacred Torch: The weighty responsibility of bearing a flame that must be tended with care and shared with charity. The Scales of Enlightenment: The perpetual twilight balance between the ascending weight of Dawn and the descending pull of Dusk.
Inside you'll find striking archaic style illustrations, hand-drawn by the author. This volume is an elegant, single-sitting reading experience intended to be a cherished object."This is a work of reflection, not doctrine; of contemplation, not authority. Take what resonates, question what does not, and-above all-seek with sincerity.""Seek, reflect, and ascend."
