			The [[Accumulating Class]] have a history of hiding knowledge, particularly “spiritual” knowledge, not because they are stupid or superstitious but because there is something there worth hiding. Western spiritual traditions have a) an esoteric/secret version contained, for example, in the “secret” brotherhoods of this world, like Freemasonry, and b) an exoteric version contained in public religious institutions.<ref>Arthur Versluis, ''Magic and Mysticism: An Introduction to Western Esotericism'' (Maryland: Rowman and Littlefield, 2007).</ref> The former is available only to “initiates” (people who are invited in) while the other is open to the masses. The initiates get the truth about “divine things,” “human nature and human destiny” (Wilmshurst 1922: italics added) while the masses get confusing allegory. “To initiates it is given to understand, via the hidden mysteries of nature and science, the mystery of the center. To the uninitiated all these things are veiled in allegory”.<ref>Robert Lomas, ''The Secret Science of Masonic Initiation'' (San Francisco: Weiser, 2010).</ref> Freemason Wilmshurst says it best.

			<blockquote>In all periods of the world's history, and in every part of the globe, secret orders and societies have existed outside the limits of the official churches for the purpose of teaching what are called "the Mysteries": for imparting to suitable and prepared minds certain truths of human life, certain instructions about divine things, about the things that belong to our peace, about human nature and human destiny, which it was undesirable to publish to the multitude who would but profane those teachings and apply the esoteric knowledge that was communicated to perverse and perhaps to disastrous ends.<ref>W. L. Wilmshurst, ''The Meaning of Masonry'' (London: William Rider & Son, 1922): italics added.</ref></blockquote>
