Van de eerste pagina: Introduction

The Sufis are an ancient spiritual freemasonry whose origins have never been traced or dated; nor do they themselves take much interest in such researches, being content to point out the occurrence of their own way of thought in different regions and periods. Though commonly mistaken for a Moslem sect, the Sufis are at home in all religions: just as the “Free and Accepted Masons” lay before them in their Lodge whatever sacred book—whether Bible, Koran, or Torah—is accepted by the temporal State.
