You play off in posting as if the Scottish Rite has no association to the "Blue Lodge", Real Big Smiles.
The "Blue Lodge" is the hatchery, The higher degrees in the Scottish Rite is the brood stock.
Yes Albert Pike's book "Morals And Dogma" was given to all initiates in the Scottish Rite upon initiation for decades, and you ask at what degree an initiate would learn this occultism.
Yes Albert Pike was an Occultist, and his book is Occultism.
In the first degree in the blue lodge the initiate is said to be brought from darkness to the light of freemasonry, with vast symbolism containing the symbols of light.
As Ole Uncle Albert Speaks Openly Below, "Lucifer Is The Light Bearer" of freemasonry, don't forget it.
33rd Manly P. Hall shouts the same, "Lucifer"!
You cry at what degree do you learn this occultic knowledge, your reading it!
"Lucifer, the Light-bearer ! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! It is he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable, blinds feeble, sensual or selfish souls? Doubt it not!"
Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, p321, 19th Degree of Grand Pontiff
“When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onwards and upwards he must prove his ability to properly apply (this) energy.”
‘Lost Keys of Freemasonry’ page 48, Manley P Hall 33rd degree.
Everyone who claims Masons must reach a certain level to be in the know. That is why I didn't quote anyone.
