共濟會的秘密 (02) – 共濟會的大秘密和次序

共濟會內的次序
The Orders Within Freemasonry
Many people will be surprised to know that there are many different Orders within Freemasonry.
They include the following (and I’m sure there are others):
The Craft工藝
Holy Royal Arch 聖皇家拱門
The Mark 馬克
Royal Ark Mariner皇家方舟水手士
The Knight Templar and Knight of Malta 聖殿騎士和馬耳武士
The Ancient and Accepted Rite 古代和接受禮儀
The Red Cross of Constantine君士坦丁紅十字
The Allied Masonic Degrees 結盟共濟度
Order of the Secret Monitor 秘密級長的命令
The Operatives 操作者
Holy Royal Arch Templar Priest聖皇家拱門聖殿祭司
Royal Order of Scotland皇家 蘇格蘭秩序
Scottish Rectified Rite 蘇格蘭改正禮儀
The Rite of Baldwyn Baldwyn的禮儀
SRIA
Royal Order of Eri 皇家Eri秩序
My research strongly indicates that the ceremonies, contained within the Orders,
can be seen as a unified whole. Originally,the Mason would go from Entered Apprentice (within The Craft) to FellowCraft – enter the Mark – progress to Master Mason and eventually become Worshiful Master of his Lodge. Then and only then would he be allowed into Holy Royal Arch. That was the way it was 150 years ago! Now,a Master Mason only has to wait four weeks to go from Craft to Royal Arch, if he so wishes.
我 的研究強烈指出，儀式包括入秩序中可被視為統一的整體。原先共濟會從入門學徒（工藝內）到工藝伙伴-進入馬克-進展至共濟會主人，和最終成為他的地方支部 的Worshifu主人；只有這時，會被允許進入聖皇家拱門，這是150年前它的方式！現在一名共濟會主人只需要等待4週的時候，如果他願意的話，可從工 藝到皇家拱門。
The progression would go onto the other York Rites like Royal and Select and then onto the Chivalric Orders like the Knights Templars. Once this was completed the Mason would go onto the Scottish Rite ( Ancient and Accepted). At the top of the Masonic System was the 33 Degree – or was it? Some scholars point to Orders beyond the 33rd – the Eygptian Rite and the Rite of Memphis leading to a 99 degree.
進展會去到另一約克禮儀上，如皇家和選擇，然後上到俠義秩序如聖殿騎士。一旦這完成後，共濟會員可上到蘇格蘭禮儀（古代和接受）。共濟會制度的頂端是33度-或者它曾是？有學者指出秩序超過33 -在埃及人禮儀和孟菲斯禮儀去到99度。
A lot of Masons are unaware of their incredible heritage. For them the journey ends at the third degree, maybe to go onto head of their Craft Lodge. It’s not helped that the Orders are now presented as a mishmash of Side Degrees and not as part of a unified whole.
很多的共濟會員不覺察他們難以置信的繼承，對他們來說旅程在第三度終結，可能是上到工藝地方支部的領導。這沒有幫助，次序現在呈現如雜亂側度的一部分，而不是統一整體的一部份。
Most people, outside Masonry, talk only of the first three degrees. In truth its only the tip of the iceberg.
大多數共濟會外的人，只講前三度，真相是它只是冰山一角。
