Hi Josh i get your point but let me clarify mine .
Im not saying you take orders from the top national banker , im saying that bank clerks upwards but not including bank manager allow the organisation to work as it does .
The bank would not function without the bank clerks bringing in the money the bank manager does not have the time to do it .
the masons higher than 33 degree need the masons of lower rank to do what you guys do , give to charity ,run the lodges . to give them the time and privacy to do the important things they need to do .
Remember I am of the opinion that 33 degree masons are the presidents and primeministers of our world and masons higher than that are the REAL power behind the governments that control the world .

I would say that the "reading list" was essentially just Macoy trying to sell other books that they published, rather than strictly a "if you want to know more about Masonry, you should really read these" type of list.
Hidden Way Across the Threshold isn't a Masonic book, and the word "mason" appears nowhere in it, according to the Google search of the book's content. It appears to be a theosophical tract, so you're right in judging it "new age", because a lot of the new age movement was based on Blavatsky's work.
Likewise Glints of Wisdom, while published by Macoy, doesn't have "mason" in the contents either, except towards the end in the list of other books Macoy published.

Just so you know, I'm a sock puppet that Augustus Masonicus occasionally takes out of his closet when he's bored.
And I'm just saying that they're not books about Masonry. And that the "reading list" appears to be a catalog of the publisher, rather than an objective or scholarly list prepared for furthering information on a specific topic.
