La Doctrine cabalistique tend sans cesse vers la Perfection spirituelle et la Fusion des croyances
The Kabalistic Doctrine Was Long The Religion Of The Sage And The Savant; Because, Like Freemasonry, It Incessantly Tends Toward Spiritual Perfection, And The Fusion Of The Creeds And Nationalities Of Mankind.
This next lessons is perhaps one of the more profound things Pike has written. In short, he explains the purpose of the ancient Kabalistic doctrine and why Freemasonry exists, which is the fusion of spiritual creeds, and the spiritual nationalities of mankind:
The Kabalistic doctrine was long the religion of the Sage and the Savant; because, like Freemasonry, it incessantly tends toward spiritual perfection, and the fusion of the creeds and Nationalities of Mankind. In the eyes of the Kabalist, all men are his brothers; and their relative ignorance is, to him, but a reason for instructing them. There were illustrious Kabalists among the Egyptians and Greeks, whose doctrines the Orthodox Church has accepted; and among the Arabs were many, whose wisdom was not slighted by the Mediæval Church.
The Sages proudly wore the name of Kabalists. The Kabalah embodied a noble philosophy, pure, not mysterious, but symbolic. It taught the doctrine of the Unity of God, the art of knowing and explaining the essence and operations of the Supreme Being, of spiritual powers and natural forces, and of determining their action by symbolic figures; by the arrangement of the alphabet, the combinations of numbers, the inversion of letters in writing and the concealed meanings which they claimed to discover therein. The Kabalah is the key of the occult sciences; and the Gnostics were born of the Kabalists (Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma, 1871, p. 625-626).
