Furthermore, knowing that, although the founding fathers and wise masters of the ages have banded together and separated themselves from profane Societies, and thus have, nevertheless instituted within the bonds of the Order, until the time of Moses, the highest secrecy in Egypt and the deserts of Arabia, for after the Babylonian captivity an alliance was established in Syria, Solomon (possibly ‘and Hermes’. the German word was ‘Hermetis’ and was thus translated as ‘Hermetic’ due to the similarity of the original term to ‘Hermetische’ ie ‘hermetic’ and subsequently used to describe the ‘classifications’) ’was also present and produced the Hermetic classifications or divisions. however with time this highly important matter gradually extended itself and spread over the entire earth, but due to the arrogance of many malicious people this has not improved, but worsened, so in the 4th, 5th and 6th Saeculo (generations, ages, centuries) the brotherhood was reformed by the Seven Wise Masters, and finally through Master Plan No.1 a constitution has been brought forth in the present time. But the Superiors decided it was best to conceal their true intentions, and the Lesser intellectual curiosity of the people could be more easily satiated by entrance into the 3 lowest Degrees of the so-called Freemasonry, and thus established them as a Nursery School prerequisite to the study of the Higher Sciences, and subject to certain parabolic embellishments and fillings; and although such has been entirely profaned with many vain and useless trifles, and made virtually unrecognizable over a long period of time, yet, due to the Laws of Fraternal Jurisprudence of the present dispensation, the fittest Subjecta must be recruited from their ranks, and none other, than a Master of the Radiant Light can enter into our Circle, or attain to the degree of the Rosicrucian Juniorat.
