Did Freemasonry use ancient wisdom from the East to create the framework for rituals and philosophy inside the most well-known secret society?

Christopher J. Earnshaw, is a philosophy professor in Japan, lecturer, author, and Freemason. Chris talks about his out-of-body experience while standing in a Taoist Temple in China. We explore the similarities of Taoism and Freemasonry and the shamanic rituals of Christian mystical traditions.  As we went deeper into exorcism, past life regression, and dowsing, I couldn't help but think of the word magic.
