Operative Structure of APRMM:
APRMM’s ritual structure is divided into four distinct sections, each with unique characteristics and purposes:

• Symbolic Section: Involves Lodges that study and practice the first three degrees of Universal Freemasonry. APRMM’s Symbolic Section operates in partnership with the Grand Orient of Italy, based on agreements made in 1986 and 1988.
• Philosophical-Kabbalistic Section: Comprises 30 Ritual Chambers, with nine actively practiced and the rest studied and communicated. This section delves into higher degrees of Masonic knowledge, including various specific degrees like the 4th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 16th, 21st, 30th, and 33rd degrees.
• Gnostic-Hermetic Section: Consists of 38 Ritual Chambers, focusing on classical Gnosis and its derivatives. Only the 66th degree is actively practiced. This section emphasizes studies in spiritual philosophy, sacred mathematics, nature’s mysteries, and alchemy, aiming to perfect nature’s imperfections.
• Hermetic Section: Marks the culmination of the initiatic journey in APRMM, consisting of 24 Ritual Bodies. Key degrees include the 90th, 91st, 94th, and 95th degrees, focusing on profound Masonic knowledge and the realization of higher existential planes.

Objectives and Philosophical Insights of APRMM:
APRMM aims to connect initiates with higher planes of existence and the trans-personality of being. It provides a path to uncovering and practicing mystical arcana, guided by principles like truth, nature, and humanity. Key concepts include the art of the Philosopher’s Stone and the understanding of the Ancient Hermetic Language in religious, philosophical, and scientific contexts.

The Ancient & Primitive Rite of Memphis-Misraim stands as a unique entity within Freemasonry, dedicated to personal spiritual development and the preservation of esoteric teachings. Its approach to Masonic practice is distinct, focusing on traditional values and spiritual enlightenment rather than external philanthropic activities. The APRMM offers a unique and profound path within Freemasonry, distinguished by its rich history, complex degree system, and commitment to deepening the esoteric and spiritual aspects of Masonic practice. Its approach to initiation and the distinct nature of its degrees underscore its commitment to preserving the integrity and depth of Masonic spirituality.
