The Ritual of the Order of Pyramid represents in its details the peculiarity of a particular system and is therefore not to be regarded as a mere formula, that may be altered or dispensed with at pleasure. On the contrary, every portion of the Ritual has an esoteric meaning, and the whole forms, as it were, a chain, a single link of which cannot be broken without marring the whole, therefore, in communicating the mysteries no curtailment can in any case be allowed. The candidate, styled as a NEOPHYTE is entitled to receive all the instruction the Ritual contains, yet there is an exception to this. Their degrees are called Neophyte (Local Pyramid), Vizier (District/State Pyramid), and Adept (National Pyramid). These chambers comprise the groundwork of the Pharaonic Mysteries of the foundation, middle, and top of the Pyramid.
