It refers to a website lifeline2rlds.org I searched the website and the whole quote is here:
http://www.lifeline2rlds.org/cms/historical.html“The men were stripped, washed, anointed, and then, as in the Masonic ceremony, dressed in a special ‘garment’ which was held together with strings…. The Masonic square and compass were cut into the garment on the breast and a slash was made across the knee…deep enough to penetrate the flesh…. There was also a slash in the garment across the abdomen, symbolic of the disemboweling that would be the fate of anyone who revealed the sacred secrets. After swearing to an oath of secrecy the initiate was dressed in white robes and permitted to witness a long allegorical drama depicting the creation of the earth and the fall of Adam….
“After being expelled from the Garden of Eden, the actors representing Adam and Eve donned tiny white aprons which were exactly like the Masonic aprons except that they were painted with green fig leaves. Then followed instruction in certain grips, passwords, and ‘keys.’ Each man was given a secret name by which he was to be known in the kingdom of heaven…. Joseph made free use of other Masonic symbols—the beehive, the all-seeing eye, the two clasped hands, and the point within the circle…. The temple mysteries were closely bound up with Joseph’s new theories about the nature of heaven and hell. After death, he said, all souls went to the world of spirits—similar to purgatory of Catholic theology—where they remained in a not unpleasant imprisonment until the Judgment Day.”[75]
Footnote 75 is Brodie, No Man Knows my History, pp. 280-282.
