Freemasonry > : The Great Book of Nature
by (5002 reads) |  Once upon a time the expression ‘restoration of the ancient mysteries’ was coined to deal with the most precious topics relating to the so-called greater initiation.
The first Book that helps us to unravel the ‘initiatory mysteries’ is the Temple. It is a ‘symbolic theater’ where the dramas of the human soul are represented through ceremonial and ritual mysteries.
The following stage is the approach to the Great Book of Nature; the third is the Book of the Seven Seals. All together they make a method based on rules, which we might call the User Manual for life and existence.

Esotericism_Reading > : Freedom of choice and free will
by (4020 reads) |  Although there is the common tendency to sum up the meanings of freedom of choice and free will and make their appearance similar, it is necessary to distinguish and separate the meanings of these two principles.
Freedom of choice and free will are the result of two different levels of conscience, which should never be mixed or circumscribed within the same precept.

Freemasonry > : Critical essay on the exoteric praxes of virtual Freemasonry
by (3371 reads) | I think it is time to admit that even the so-called ‘High initiations’ (31st, 32nd and 33rd, the three administrative Degrees of Freemasonry) as well as the previous ones are the approximate and quite folkloristic memory of ancient splendors. Their meanings remain obscure even to the ‘pontiffs’ of Freemasonry.

Question&Answer > : Bad Fellows and Bad Masons
by (3380 reads) | You write: ‘...the brother masons of a specific lodge that I prefer in the respect of your Masonic communions, perhaps different....’ and then: ‘...Freemasonry and its centenary sacred history...’
You have hit the nail on the head, as the saying goes, by raising the matter of the division of Masons; as I have written elsewhere, it has become ‘siblings rivalry’.
On this topic I am positive that the ‘high Masonic reasons’ that broke the unity of Italian Freemasonry (adding a new negative record to the history of our country) and the ‘high Masonic reasons’ that still today keep Its edges ‘well separated’, are the least sacred and most unworthy of a noble destiny.

Question&Answer > : The bluff of the inexistent initiation
by (3433 reads) | …I am deeply convinced about my choice of joining Freemasonry; I respect the principles and values of Universal Freemasonry and therefore I also appreciate situations and behaviors that I find difficult to understand. I get stronger and I sight what I will be with time…Difficulties sublimate and fortify the spirit, giving me a vision that becomes clearer and clearer…Does my condition call for silence at the moment? …But sooner or later the day will come when I will be able to offer a humble contribution to what some Brothers are doing.

Question&Answer > : Utopias and Initiation
by (3019 reads) | ...from the little I know, I understand that the ultimate purpose of Freemasonry is not so much the realization of Man (like in Christianity) followed by the realization of the Church as a spiritual community, but rather the contrary. It starts trying to build a real society (where a man can learn to realize himself together with other men). That is, Freemasonry is the real place where the mystic improvement of man is fulfilled. Therefore Freemasonry would be an immanent society that achieves a transcendent work (the Temple), which has its basis in a man that tries to improve himself by collaborating.
