I want to be as Prepared as i can be.
One can be over-prepared for the degrees. The first degree is called "initiation". Candidates in the ancient mystery degrees went into their initiations cold and there is much to be said for the personal impact of doing it that way. Put yourself into the hands of friends, let them to take care of you and for it to be a strange and memorable experience.
I've read complaints that a candidate memorized sections out of an expose' book because he'd learned that memorization would be called for. But the details are different jurisdiction to jurisdiction. I've been through the line in California and Illinois so I've memorized both versions. My experience is it was harder to relearn than it was to learn in the first place. Please don't over study.
Some men are untrusting and want to know as much as possible about the sequence of events. Outlines of the events of the degrees are easily found. But one of the major lessons is to be trusting and to act so that you are worthy of being trusted.
