Recommended 1st Degree Learning Structure

 

  1. This Page
    This should be the first thing that you see. It’s an introductory page that sets the tone, provides an overview of the 1st degree, and offers encouragement for the journey. A warm and inviting start to the experience.

  2. Entrance Exam
    This can come right after the welcome page. It's important to assess your current understanding and commitment level before delving into the teachings.

  3. Requirements
    After the entrance exam, members should know what’s required to proceed with the 1st degree. This helps us understand the expectations and responsibilities.

  4. Oath
    After understanding the requirements, the oath is a critical next step. It signifies your commitment to the path you’re about to undertake.

  5. Know Thyself
    This page should come after the oath, as it encourages introspection and self-awareness, which is foundational to your spiritual journey. It ties in well after the commitment you've made through the oath.

  6. Foundation
    Next, you’ll want to introduce the foundational concepts they need to build upon. This is a great transition from self-awareness to understanding the foundational principles of E-Masonry.

  7. Morals
    After the foundation, you should understand the moral framework that you will operate within. This helps set the ethical tone for your work in the 1st degree.

  8. Blazing Star
    The Blazing Star can be introduced here, as it’s a symbol of enlightenment and guidance. This would tie in with the concept of moral light and spiritual illumination.

  9. The 2 Pillars
    This could follow after the Blazing Star, as the pillars are symbolic of strength, stability, and wisdom, which they’re beginning to develop.

  10. 5 Senses
    After the pillars, the exploration of the senses and your connection to perception and the material world will deepen your understanding of yourselves and your surroundings.

  11. 7 Universal Laws
    Next, you can expand on these cosmic principles, giving you a deeper understanding of how they interact with the universe and your own spiritual path.

  12. 1st Degree Test
    The test should come at the end of the 1st-degree content. After you’ve studied and absorbed all the teachings, the test serves as a way to assess your comprehension and commitment. It is also the final reflection before moving on to the next stage.

 

This order provides a natural progression, starting with the introductory material and then moving through deeper concepts before finally assessing your understanding. The test at the end acts as a reflective moment before you move on to the next level.
