In The Mystic Tie and The Way of Oneness, C.R. "Chuck" Dunning, Jr. explores the path of self knowledge at the center of Masonic initiation, guiding an earnest Mason toward experiences of profound interconnectedness, unity, and love. He provides every seeker willing to take up their working tools in contemplation and in pursuit of mystical experience with thoughtful and practical instruction, inspiration, and clear advice from his many years of walking this path. It is an essential resource for all who recognize that the practice of Masonry is a way of life.
"Brother Dunning is the Fraternity's shining light on the hidden nature of Speculative Freemasonry. In this book, he focuses on the many contemplative aspects of our Hidden Art, which reveals the path of Initiation. He introduces essential themes and symbols of Freemasonry from the perspective of their mystical nature, elevating our awareness and understanding of their significance in seeking oneness within ourselves, love for our brothers, and the sacredness of our being as Sons of Light. It should be read by every serious student of the Mystic Art." - Robert G. Davis, 33 G.C., Past Grand Master (Oklahoma), Past Sovereign Grand Master of the Grand Council of Allied Masonic Degrees (USA), author of The Mason's Words, The Journey of the Elu to Enlightenment, and In Search of Light "My experience is that extraordinary books gnaw at the core of your being. They compel you to think, communicate, and act differently. Dunning's The Mystic Tie and The Way of Oneness brims with the Love, wisdom, and insight of a genuine mystic. It is transformative and truly extraordinary!" - Shaun Bradshaw, 33 , Past Grand Master, (North Carolina), co-author of A Path to Providence: The Creation of the Middle Chamber Program "As Freemasonry undergoes a rebirth of its mystical founding principles, Dunning is at the forefront of the movement. In this essential book, he examines how our once and future state of unity, wholeness, and harmony can be achieved by understanding ourselves at a deep level and through the practice of divine love." - Ben Wallace 33 , Past Grand Orator (North Carolina), co-author of A Path to Providence: The Creation of the Middle Chamber Program "The Mystic Tie and the Way of Oneness is an insightful view of Freemasonry's Great Mystery. Brother Dunning carefully guides the reader along the path to enlightenment." - P.G. Pete Normand, 33 , Past Grand Chancellor of the Grand College of Rites, Past President of the Masonic Restoration Foundation, Past Master of the Texas Lodge of Research "In this work, Dunning presents an alternative approach to understanding various Masonic concepts, inviting the reader to contemplate topics typically overlooked in conventional practices. From the Mystic Tie to the Blazing Star, Dunning offers profound interpretations, making this book a must-read for those seeking deeper insight into Masonic symbolism." - Mohamad Yatim, 33 , Past Sovereign Grand Master of the Grand Council of Allied Masonic Degrees (USA), Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Hauts Grades Academy (Scottish Rite-NMJ), Grand Educator of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey
