Thirty-third and Last Degree AASR : Masonry or Politics?
by Buck, J.D.
Albert Pike was responsible for the tremendous expansion of the Scottish Rite because of his comprehension of occult law. After his death, Christian fundamentalist Masons, repudiated his "esoterism" and sought to discredit his teachings. This discourse also brings up the interesting question of whether the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite should hold the office for life and what his qualifications should be. Written 1907, it addresses the same crisis that is facing Freemasonry today. "Are we progressing? And in which direction? We are facing a crisis. Increase of numbers in the Order; ambition for active, life office; the building of a great Temple that shall cost nearly a million of dollars, and involve the Order hopelessly in debt for generations to come, more likely means ruin. In the meantime the real spirit, aims and ideals of Masonry are being lost in the rubbish or dying for lack of support and appreciation."

The Ancient and Primitive Rite

The Ancient and Primitive Rite is an independent Masonic Chivalric Order. The Ancient and Primitive Rite, constitutes another interesting degree in Freemasonry, to be acquired in the course of ordinary Masonic progress.

The Rite is organized in 92 grades, each having its appropriate ritual. Only the first 7 Initiations are charged all other initiations have no charge. In addition to working the ceremonies, members are encouraged to read original papers, and study the works of others and to join in the discussions, which arise. Its members should be prepared, not only to take part in its ceremonies, but to listen and learn and, by study and giving to others the results of that study, to take an active part in working out the great problems of nature, life and understanding the wisdom, mysteries, science, art and literature of the Ancient World.

Thus the object of the Order is to bring together Freemasons of philosophic outlook in order that they may afford aid and encouragement to each other in the pursuit of their own studies in the field of philosophy and scholarship in the wildest sense. Ultimately, its object is to bring its members a few steps nearer to wisdom and an understanding of the true nature of reality.

Admission to the Order is limited to individuals who accept and believe in the fundamental principles of the Trinitarian Christian faith. A candidate is required to be proposed and seconded by members of the Order and is elected by ballot.
