The 40th degree of the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis-Misraïm (APRMM), also known as Sage of Savaiste or Perfect Sage, delves into a profound exploration of the intrinsic laws governing nature and our inherent instincts. This degree represents a seminal part of the Masonic journey, leading us towards a more nuanced understanding of the cosmos and our role within it.

At the heart of the Perfect Sage degree, lies the study of nature’s foundational principles. As Freemasons at this level, we seek to discern the intricate mechanisms that regulate our natural world. This process goes beyond the empirical and observable, inviting us to reflect on the fundamental instincts that drive us as sentient beings. These instincts are understood not as base impulses, but as critical elements that inform our interaction with the world and influence our moral and ethical decisions.

Central to this degree is the contemplation of the existence of the Creator. The metaphysical premise of a divine entity that magnetically draws us towards Himself forms the cornerstone of this level’s teachings. This attraction isn’t just a function of divine will or power, but a manifestation of eternal chains of spiritual and moral gravity, with each link forged by our love for the good and virtuous.

As a Sage of Savaiste, the Freemason is engaged in an ongoing quest for self-improvement and enlightenment. Through a deeper understanding of nature’s laws and our inherent instincts, we strive to align ourselves more closely with the divine. The 40th degree of APRMM is an invitation to not just observe the world but to understand, appreciate, and ultimately, mirror the Creator’s love for goodness.
