Rites of Memphis Misraim

 

More than 200 years old, this Rite still engenders lively interest and enjoys important developments on an international level. Faithful to its founding principles, it affirms itself as a Rite that is traditional, symbolic and spiritualistic, and associated with the principles of tolerance and liberty.

Upon entering into the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis Misraïm, one places a foot on the path of tradition, with respect for human values and tolerance. This Rite is characterized by an initiatic quest founded on:

  • A spiritualistic and deist orientation,
  • A vocation to preserve and to transmit the philosophical reflection on symbols of Ancient Egypt and the different currents that have marked our civilization (Hermetic, Gnostic, Kabbalistic, Templar and Rose+Croix)
  • An open and reflective search for a better understanding of oneself and of humanity.

Such is the spirit of traditional Masonry for which, in every act, there is both the visible and the invisible, the positive and the negative, a fleeting, perhaps even non-existent, present, already bearing the seeds of the future.

Freemasons of this rite are invited to think. An apprencticeship and a methodology are proposed that are founded on the knowledge of symbols, living tools that, in a constant dynamic, call into question all that has been acquired. Thus, according to the tradition of the Rite, the Mason “works the stone” again, always refining the perceptions and developing discernment. It addresses the interior of each in a rich, intimate experience that through resonance jostles the exterior while causing the perceptions and vision of the world to evolve, because the Mason has begun the greatest possible adventure, the conquest of the self.

I am tire of practicing a empty ceremony in the Masonic lodges…I want to find self realization; I find that the esoteric knowledge confine in the rite and the company of like minded individuals will make this possible.

    Bryan,

    You may want to contact the Rite directly as this site has no official affiliation or communication with the Rite of M.M.

    If you live in Baltimore or surrounding area I don’t think M+M is now available. OTO has a Baltimore office but I highly suggest that you for go that one. I do not know anything about ISS or AAPORMM of Bulgaria? I no longer live in MD so I’m out of touch with the goings on? AMO may have MM within it?

    Brethern,
    We started a journey which we call G Magazine because we dare to know more.
    We have learned that we receive Light only to give it to the younger generations. This is why, life is a journey in which we visit the same places again and again, but wiser every different time.
    Only at the end of this eternal return will we find Light.
    “Let us walk forward by humbly returning to our traditions.
    Let us learn about our past.
    Let us know our present.
    Let us dream our future.”
    Love is the answer to everything there is.
    It is the only thing worth doing anything at all.
    Even if we do not have all the answers… we can at least ask new questions.
    Let us dare to know ourselves together!

    I remember reading about it in Madame Blavatsky’s Books. Memphis Misaim is a true esoteric order.

    Greetings to All as we are. May Glory and Beauty of the Day be upon you and yours. Concerning “seeking” further light in APRMM<Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis Mizriam"…you might find useful direction on a Facebook member named Fre'dOMM Claye. Travel li/G\ht

    Good morning all,

    I would recommend that anyone whom is truly looking to receive more light in their lives; to look inward instead of relying solely on external bodies. There are so many wonderful organizations that one can belong to. They bring clarity to this wretched world. Nevertheless, I do not believe that it is a just action to reveal them. They have to be found by the aspirant.
