In the search for the Lost Word, I without any hesitation turned to the insights of my most educated Brethren. The likes of Joseph Silbermann and Brother Hubert, the head of the United Chain, elevated my reflections through their oral teachings, while Ragon, Eliphas Levi, Albert Pike, and Goethe taught me through their writings.

All Masonic systems of the 18th century ultimately converge on the 30 degrees that the Scottish Rite adds in front of the primordial trinity. From a historical perspective, this presents an undeniable interest. Moreover, it has gained particular significance internationally, to the extent that the Supreme Councils realize in their own domain Masonic universality, which constitutes the point of friction for Blue Freemasonry.

It has also been observed among high-ranking Brethren Freemasons with extensive knowledge that they strived to offer the best possible essence in degrees that had not yet been created. In this regard, it is fair to pay tribute to the memory of Brother Albert Pike, who served as the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdiction of the U.S.A. from 1859 to 1891.

As a talented writer, Brother Pike sought to spiritualize the Scottish rite, connecting each degree with a profound initiatory teaching, which is developed in a brilliant work titled: Morals and Dogma. Excerpts from "The Book of the Master Mason" by Oswald Wirth.
