We consider the fact that the initiatory way of the Freemasonry proposes the achievement of an inward state of a higher conscience. The path proceeds ahead through speculative deepenings, but also through the our ripening, which only derives from a right operating. So to separate and to oppose the two aspects of the research, that is the speculative one and the operative one, it is completely arbitrary. The separation can have a meaning only if it helps us to achieve more perfect comprehensions.

In Life the man is attracted by the necessity to rise up high, by speculating, and is also attracted by the necessity to manifest himself, by operating. Every symbol, being a symbol, has always a speculative content and an operative one. Nevertheless there are some symbols which mainly induce to the speculation rather than to the operativity.

One of them is represented by the level, an instrument to verify the balance, which, among other things, suggests to us the state of conscience in which we should put ourselves to succeed in perceiving the Beauty of Nature.
