The book basically just explains what Pike thinks all the different Masonic degrees are about, what their purpose is, in the masonic lodges, and the world at large. You don't need to be Mason to get value from this book either. I highly recommend you all get this book.

2. The Secret Teachings of All Ages By Manly P Hall - This is what you can call an all-time esoteric/masonic gem. This book is a lot easier to follow that M&D. Hall really gets into ancient mysticism, religion, symbolism, Egypt, Babylon, even as far back as Atlantis.

It's extremely well written and you will become a great deal smarter by taking the time to read this book, the artwork contained within the book is really imposing and it breaks down the meaning behind a plethora of symbols you have probably seen before in the past.

3. The Catcher In The Rye By J.D Salinger - First read this book as a young teenager, I never really understood it at first, but it left a mark on me, I could never quite figure it out at the time, but when I got older, I read it again, and it made a lot more sense.pic.twitter.com/61M0KyDxmT

It's about a teenager who is basically like a modern-day 2020 teenager, but only it was set in the 1950s. I don't know how Sallinger managed to capture the character of the modern loner type so well back in the 1950s, but he did, and its a really deep and hard-hitting story.

It really sucks you in as you try and figure out why the main character is so caught up in his own head, it really was the original anxiety/depression/mental illness novel that so many can now relate to. If your a younger person, I would highly recommend this one.

It will make you appreciate your own life more and make you understand that everybody in the world fights HUGE mental battles each day, we are never alone in our troubles, and your friends and family especially do care about you and will help you, even if they annoy you sometimes

4. 1984 - By George Orwell - This one speaks for itself, its the very popular & well known dystopian classic. Orwell was a high-level fabian society member and this guy knew EXACTLY what was going on. His dark tale is scary and this book will actually give you chills.pic.twitter.com/P0j6OzLMT9

The way Orwell describes the oppressive police state in grim detail, from the way the society is structured, to how they find and arrest dissidents, The last few sections are actually so terrifying that I felt goosebumps while reading it, not many books have that effect on me.

The ending is amazing but it's not a happy one. I think everybody should read this book, it will give you a front-row seat into the mind frame of the ruling class and how far political correctness can go if left unchecked. It's a timeless classic.

5. Iron John - By Robert Bly - Iron John is a fable that explains what it means to be a man, and going from boyhood to manhood. I recommend this book for men who are struggling to find themselves or a purpose. One chapter explains the theory of how every man has to have his ashespic.twitter.com/5BJ53fGxTS

Ashes of a dream that never came true, a failed marriage or business idea, It really helped me get over some tough events in my life and gave me a great source of comfort and renewed strength to keep fighting for a better day. Another must-read for younger dudes coming up.

It would be very helpful to somebody who has recently been dumped, fired, out of luck, or just feeling hard done by. 6. Number six is not a normal book - Number 6 is the book of ACTION. Yes, you see now, I have clearly read a lot of big ass smart dude books - But you know what?

Actually getting up and taking PHYSICAL action - This is the secret hidden book that not many can find let alone read. Reading is great, it must be done, and it must be done regularly, but if you just read, read, read, and nothing else, it can become a form of mental masturbationpic.twitter.com/6FyBgPWwGG

So for every book or chapter you read of any of these fine books, stop, and take action afterwards, I used to read a book while I worked on my own book. Just switch between, learn new words, styles, POV's anything. If your not a writer, take action in other ways.

Because actually getting up from your backside and doing stuff is how you become somebody in life, this is how you rise out the crab bucket, this is how you excel, it's all about taking the bull by the horns and getting it done. You must force your ideal life into real-time.

Nature and the universe at large don't take kindly to weakness in any way, you will be swept aside like a pathetic bug if you don't stand up and be counted. END THREAD.pic.twitter.com/UFvGNyP2i2
