Also, I appreciate your love of colour, but prefer to leave my comment in the colour I had intended.
There's a minor parallel according to Michael see [[Freemasonry]]. You mentioned you read the link on New Age. Apparently you didn't any further than that. I'm not being rude. Text is not rude; context may be. After reading the above url, I scrolled back up the page to find your answer. He's tracing the roots of the New Age movement and uses as premise that this philosophy is a modern revival of older philosophical movements. Not just Freemasonry, but also Rosicrucianism, Theosophy, Gnosticism, Caballah, and more. I had read all this before when I asked for permission to include the excerpt on my article. I wrote it and still am the only one who writes anything, as even you now are one of the many who remove content and replace it with nothing. So once again, Freemasonry is one of the roots of New Age and hence it was mentioned in the history.
