THE
SCOTTISH RITE DEGREES
Scottish Rite Degrees are a continuation and
expansion of the three Ancient Craft Degrees.
It enables the initiate to grasp
with greater significance the real purpose and meaning of Masonry. The Scottish Rite Degree are an extension of
the Masonic search for knowledge and truth.
It gives one a better understanding and appreciation of Ancient Craft.
The scope of Freemasonry down through the ages is so
extensive, that few mean have the time or opportunity to investigate, analyze
and understand its symbolism. In the
Scottish Rite Degrees, that investigation and analysis of hidden meanings has
been done for him and the substance and thought made clear. The results are satisfying to those Master
Masons earnestly seeking more Masonic light.
Scottish Rite makes application of the doctrines of
freemasonry to every aspect of human activity.
The individual mason is taught to put into practice the lessons learned
in Ancient Craft in his personal life and thought.
Many questions raised by the Ancient Craft Mason
that go unanswered are answered in Scottish Rite. At all times it recognizes the authority
Ancient Craft headed by a Grand Master.
It teaches there is no rank higher than that of a master mason, and no
Masonic symbol more significant than the master’s apron. It elaborates and emphasizes the great
principles enshrined in Ancient Craft Masonry.
When a master mason is advanced to the higher of
Scottish Rite, it does not detract from but adds to his interest in everything
for which Ancient Craft stands. It
deepens his appreciation of it and motivates him to more active participation
in it affairs. Scottish Rite adds,
supplements and reinforces Ancient Craft in every way. These bodies are mutually dependent and
strengthens one another.
Scottish Rite is a rite of enlightenment. It purpose is to spread the light of Masonic
truth by revealing and explaining matters concealed or only hinted at in
Ancient Craft Masonry. Knowledge is power, and the Scottish Rite seeks to arm
its members with moral and spiritual understanding.
