Freemasonry > Imago_Templi: Imago Templi / 6.10 by (3280 reads) | The metaphysical Zero – The spiritual space
The concept of absolute zero or metaphysical zero as it was passed on to us by the Initiatory Tradition lies in the meaning entrusted to it, to symbolize inside itself the membrane that separates manifest from immanifest. The concept of transcendent.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi: Imago Templi / 6.9 by (4560 reads) | The Essential Numbers of the Masonic Work and the minimal rules of their Archaic Symbolism – The evolution of the art of Numbers in the Western school – Two procedures to reveal the ‘secret of a Number’.
When changing the language used so far and creating a more essential ‘form’, we should find an agreement on the minimal value to give the concepts we will find in those new aspects of number, symbol and sound.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi: Imago Templi / 6.8 by (2939 reads) | The three Thresholds of Initiation: Part 2 – The Creation of the Destiny of Man: disorientation, orientation and re-orientation of the Psyche – The Great Caduceus of the Scottish Rite
The Masonic Precepts are contained in a lesser Catechism that forms the body of the Lesser Mysteries and in a greater Catechism that refers to the body of the Greater Mysteries. The latter represent the third Threshold of Initiation. Lesser and Greater Mysteries have superimposable, therefore identical, purposes. The differences are the quality of terms and the different depth of thought in the same concepts.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi: Imago Templi / 6.7 by (4364 reads) | Esoteric reading of a Vedantine Symbol, the Cardiac Chakra seat of receptive intelligence.
The esotericist differs from the ordinary man because he doesn’t care for what appears, or as a container appears, be it a word, a concept or a symbol; least of all he embraces a biased ‘faith’; instead he tends to penetrate its synthetic and timeless substance (teaching), stripping it of the corruptible and changeable characteristics of the form with the changing of languages and interpretations.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi: Imago Templi / 6.6 by (4722 reads) | The Sovereign Great General Inspectors, XXXIII and last degree of the A. A. S. R. – The Bilateral Alphabet from De Augmentis Scientiarum by Lord F. Bacon – The code book of the Kabbalah, plus a relevant aspect – The Saint Names of God and His Holy Graces – The secret Science of the Tannaim.
At the highest degree of White Masonry, the Initiatory Tradition still holds intact its Mysteries, jealously preserved by its Greater Adepts, which pass them on uniquely with the ‘mouth-ear’ method to those who, once reached that level, are able to make themselves known by demonstrating the possession of the Keys of Rule and Art; otherwise they will be invisible to the minds of the Lesser Adepts.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi: Imago Templi /6.5 by (3068 reads) | Much has been said, often inappropriately, about the Templar initiation. However, I don’t think that the Brother mason, just because he has chosen to walk his path in that Institution rather than in another, can have any advantages from a perfunctory description of the "supposed", as experts call them, Mysteries of the Order of the Temple.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi: Imago Templi / 6.4 by (5381 reads) | The Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem – Lucis Fratres: the Brothers of Light. Anno Domini 1400 – Code Book of the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem – Code Book of the Knights Kadosh or ‘Kadeschim’ – Code of Kilwinning, Scottish Mother Lodge – Masonic and Royal Arch Codes – Codes of the Sovereign Princes Rose Cross and Knights of the Eagle and of the Pelican, mason Princes and the Codex Rosae Crucis – Manifest characteristics of the Templar Bro. and of the Rose Cross Bro.
In the 14th century two initiatives of the Rose Cross confraternity started out; they marked the re-emergence of Gnosis in the philosophical thought of the western hemisphere.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi: Imago Templi /6.3 by (4183 reads) | The birth of encoded language in the western sphere. Two important examples: the Runic Alphabet – The Greek Alphabet – A particular warning to the Lesser Adept – Of Metallic Transmutation, Three Dreams.
Druids, between myth and reality, are the western initiatory people that most contributed to the transmission of the Sacerdotal Mysteries connected to the Natural Magic and to the visible formation of what will be later called by the Initiates that followed: the Great Book of Nature.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi: Imago Templi /6.2 by (3238 reads) | We talked about Threshold of Initiation rather than Door; let’s try and understand why. In the Initiatory Schools it is taught that there isn’t a Door (obstacle) to Initiation; the only Door (obstacle) for the man who starts this journey is himself.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi: Imago Templi / Book VI by (3491 reads) | The Masonic System “rests” the geometry of its oblong and the meanings that it contains on the horizontal as well as on the vertical plane, on the Sephirotic Tree, also called Tree of Life.
Therefore I think it is appropriate, before starting dealing with this topic, to point out and explain the goals proposed by the Master Builders that handed down the Initiatory Path in the Temple.
