There are highly prestigious and deeply respected secret societies, with clearly defined systems of doctrine and well-established hierarchies. Some even conduct formal initiation rituals.

However, in the transcendent realms of Heaven (in Christianity), such ranks and rituals hold no value. Enlightened masters (saints) do not concern themselves with degrees or status in the material world; instead, they measure the condition of a candidate’s spiritual axis.

If a candidate has not been spiritually sanctified, then in the eyes of the enlightened masters, that person remains merely an ordinary individual like anyone else—regardless of how important or respected they may be in worldly life, or how high a position they hold within their order or lodge.

The ego is a demon hidden within every person. Suffering belongs to Satan. Satan cannot perfect himself, nor can he perfect anyone. Completely dissolving the ego is the fundamental basis of all profound enlightenment. This is the decisive factor for ultimate liberation.

Prince of Jerusalem 16° Morals and Dogma

Part VIII This, Freemasonry teaches, as a great Truth; a great moral landmark, that ought to guide the course of all mankind. It teaches its toiling children that the scene of their daily life is all spiritual, that the very implements of their toil, the fabrics they weave, the merchandise they barter, are designed for spiritual ends; that so believing, their daily lot may be to them a sphere for the noblest improvement. That which we do in our intervals of relaxation, our church-going, and our book-reading, are especially designed to prepare our minds for the action of Life. We are to hear and read and meditate, that we may act well; and the action of Life is itself the great field for spiritual improvement. There is no task of industry or business, in field or forest, on the wharf or the ship’s deck, in the office or the exchange, but has spiritual ends. There is no care or cross of our daily labor, but was especially ordained to nurture in us patience, calmness, resolution, perseverance, gentleness, disinterestedness, magnanimity. Nor is there any tool or implement of toil, but is a part of the great spiritual instrumentality.
