ANCIENT & PRIMITIVE RITE OF MEMPHIS-MISRAÏM
7th° DEGREE – Provost and judge
A true Mason, rooted in the belief that a Supreme Deity shaped and oversees this world, also upholds the idea that such governance is exerted through laws. These laws, in their wisdom, fairness, and benevolence, remain unyielding, consistent, and relentless.
In the context of the 7th degree of the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis-Misraïm (APRMM) of Freemasonry, this understanding takes on profound significance. The 7th degree imparts teachings that reflect on the divine laws that govern our existence. Here, the Mason learns that these laws, despite their unyielding nature, are infused with a divine wisdom and benevolence that underline a fair and just universe.
These laws are not whimsical or arbitrary; rather, they’re steadfast, unwavering, and irreversible.
In their journey towards greater enlightenment, the Mason, reaching the 7th degree, is taught to acknowledge and respect these cosmic laws.
The Mason learns that harmonious living is achieved by aligning one’s actions with these divine principles. A true Mason, thus, accepts the unyielding nature of these laws, understanding them as the sacred codes that uphold the structure of our world and reflect the supreme wisdom and fairness of the Creator.
