 | Inconsistency of virtual initiations |
|
|
... what I think, but that is my opinion, is that a true initiatory organization should never refuse the initiation to those who prove to be spiritually suitable to receive it only because they cannot afford the enrolment and a monthly fee that is beyond their possibilities. Not all initiatory organizations are the same. Fortunately there are some, in my experience, which are within everyone’s reach, rich and poor.

Ars Muratoria describes in detail the ‘geometry’ of a method and its instruments. These instruments hide the virtues of the Initiate’s Psyche in the allegory.
On the contrary of what we think, it is necessary to refuse and disown the exoteric isolation of the High ritual Chambers and to understand the invisible connections of the initiatory activities through which Esoteric Philosophy joins in the Scottish Pyramid the commitment of initiates of different levels and abilities.

When in the evolution of the Human Kingdom the air element of the thought got in contact with the fire element of the spirit, an aqueous and voluble element appeared in the lower levels of the mind; it still accompanies Personality up to its complete individualization. |

... I wonder if being an initiate represents the "sine qua non" condition... or isn't it enough to have a pure and simple love for knowledge, beyond any material interest.

| From magnetic attraction to the moment of "making one's own choice" |
|
|
In a recent session I attended, it has been given considerable credit to the idea that curiosity is the spark that drives a person to embark on the masonic journey. After careful consideration I completely disagree with this concept. I think curiosity is rather a consequence of much deeper factors than the prime cause.
But which are the motives that lead to choose the journey of Freemasonry first and then stay on it or leave it?

 | Nature and Origins of Evil in the Hebrew Kabala |
|
|
| Here are some notes taken years ago about the Kabala and the origins of evil... Why should we wonder about the nature and origins of evil? Many people state that our need to separate light and shadow, good and evil, is only the result of the blindness that prevents us from seeing the unity hidden behind the apparent game of opposites… |

 | The Cross |
|
|
| In my opinion the cross as a symbol explains the mystery of the divinity as diversity in the unity far better than any other. However, either for tradition or for mental laziness, it has always been indissolubly connected to Christianity. On the contrary, the cross is a very old symbol; it was discovered among archaeological finds of the Neolithic age. We can also mention the Egyptian ankh, the Tibetan swastika and the Aztec cross of Tlaloc, all prior to the Christian era. The same symbol, then, can be found in different times and socio-cultural contexts with analogous or sometimes identical meanings. This fact stirs up deep emotions and invites us not to identify the cross with Christianity; the limits of any particular religion, whatever its dignity, appear to be cramped before the Infinite. |
