Thirty-second Degree

Master of the Royal Secret

     This degree teaches many lessons, but the mystery concealed is that man is a creature of free will and capable of recreating himself.  If he accomplishes this goal, he will attain a genuine power that can shake the limits of science, surpass the problems of this earth, decipher the secrets of space, surpass the limits of ceremony and catechism, and attain genuine enlightenment; a gnosis which is the foundation of all religions.  He will also surpass the narrow views of interest in the area of morals, and will comprehend a genuine virtue that transcends his own interest.  Thus, it will become his nature to help his fellow men, and, in so doing, he will discover the divine light within which brings true freedom of thought, freedom of conscience, and freedom of culture.
