In the Sacred Atlantean Brotherhood, ritual is not ceremony for ceremony’s sake—it is the living architecture of Consciousness made visible. The Opening and Closing Catechisms of each Degree serve as sacred dialogues between the higher Self (Atlantis, the Christos, the Slain Master) and the rational mind—the faithful servant of Light.
For the Initiate Degrees (1–3), these rites establish the foundation of all spiritual work: Unity, Discernment, and Embodiment. Whether practiced alone or in a circle, the words remain the same. In solitude, the practitioner imagines the Christos asking the questions and answers with the disciplined mind. In assembly, the presiding Officer speaks for the Christos, and the Brotherhood answers as one.
Below is the complete, canonical Opening and Closing Catechism for the first three Degrees, exactly as preserved in the landmarks of the Brotherhood—unchanged, unabbreviated, and ritually precise.
