Freemasonry nor the volumes of the sacred laws are meant to be interpreted. They have hidden meaning that are supra alchemical and supra reserved for those who have ascended to heights of true initiation in the super sensible worlds. Your thoughts on this?

From an esoteric perspective, the external symbols and scriptures of Freemasonry serve as allegorical veils for an underlying process of spiritual transformation. Mackey observes that if the moral requirement to walk humbly and do justly represents the core of divine instruction, then the alchemist's philosopher's stone and the Masonic spiritual temple are identical symbols 1.

In the Craft, architectural accounts and biblical texts are interpreted through Hermetic and Kabalistic frameworks rather than literal history 32. Waite views the symbolic Temple as a "House of Doctrine," pointing out that Kabalistic tradition explains the Pillars J and B and mirrors the Craft's theme of loss and substitution 2. In this tradition, substituting Adonai for the Sacred Name when reading the Law illustrates how sacred texts record a loss of divine pronunciation awaiting future restoration 2.

This esoteric view connects Masonic initiation with the alchemical Magnum Opus. Waite argues that both movements followed parallel paths: just as physical alchemy evolved into a spiritual science using chemical terminology to describe the transmutation of the soul, speculative Masonry transformed operative building into an emblematic system of spiritual rebirth 2. Wilmshurst similarly contends that the architectural phraseology of the Craft conceals an ancient doctrine inherited from the mystery schools, intended to guide the candidate toward spiritual light and understanding 3.

In the Scottish Rite, this shift away from building symbolism is formalized in the higher degrees. Mackey notes that degrees above the Eighteenth abandon Temple symbolism to pursue pure theosophy, whereas the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Degrees retain the Temple motif as an apocalyptic symbol of the New Jerusalem 1.
