Esotericism_Reading > Michel Foucault and the «death of man»
by (9041 reads) |  Together with Deleuze, Michel Foucault has been the main exponent of the French studies on the Nietzsche-Renaissance that marked the start of post-structuralism. The word described a varied group of scholars coming from several disciplines, influenced by the linguistic structuralism of Saussurre and the anthropologic one of Lèvi Strauss.

Esotericism_Reading > Birth, Life, Death. Basic considerations on initiation
by (3988 reads) | Birth, Life, Death, Three great initiations – To grow means to initiate oneself – Elitist, social and edonist initiations: three dimensions where to grow – Psycho-synthesis, approach to a modern initiatory praxis – The Principle of Self-Initiation – The Principle of Diorism – Conclusive aspects – Appendix: Three theories on death.
Pirandello wrote that exams never end in life. It follows that trials don’t end either, until the last great initiation of ‘physical death’ comes. To find in life the true initiatory path makes the concept of initiation extremely wide and refined; it eventually develops through three degrees: birth, life and death of the interpreter.
For many doctrines they are definitive passages, whilst according to the initiatory Doctrine to be born, to live and to die are apparent states of the same journey that in materiality keep repeating themselves up to the complete physical manifestation of the subtle conscience.

Esotericism_Reading > False transmutation
by (4036 reads) | The ‘bad masters’ are the ‘fake initiates’ which we must recognize in order to avoid them. The difference between a ‘piper’ and an initiate is the same between illusion, dream and reality. But the followers of the ‘pipers’ are not always victims. Certainly some of them can’t distinguish between true and false; it is also true that many people don’t want to see this distinction.

Art&Esotericism > Considerations and self-criticism
by (4523 reads) |  Talent, when present, appears in a rough and not precious form at first. For this reason it is recognizable only by people gifted with a particular sensitiveness able to identify it, like dogs with truffles.
To make it grow we need practice and self-criticism. Here we have three categories.

Esotericism_Reading > Klossowski: delirium as a result of the Nietzschean thought
by (3788 reads) | Pierre Klossowski, the elder brother of the famous painter Balthus, has always been one of the most elusive and suggestive figures of the French culture of the sixties and seventies. Klossowski’s work escapes any disciplinary framing; the Jamesonian definition of ‘theory’ can be used to define it, even more than Foucault’s work. Klossowski studied literature, philosophy and painting; his Nietzschean reading is influenced by the atheological impulses of Bataille, but without the existential tension that fills the ideas of the latter.

Freemasonry > Masonic_religiosity Secret numbers in masonic catechisms
by (36986 reads) |  The religious feeling is a widespread aspect in every level of Freemasonry, in every office and ritual act. The presence of a religious soul can’t be ignored; on the contrary, it must be understood in its deepest aspects. We will complete the journey through the most representative symbols of Masonic religiosity, up to the numbers hidden in its symbols.

Esotericism_Reading > Why Gods return
by (3645 reads) | Until the beginning of the fifteenth century the theological thought was very close to the Western esoteric tradition. During the fifteenth century an epistemological break occurs; theology embraces Aristotelian thought and Scholasticism, cosmology (intended as science of second causes) becomes a prerogative of esoterists of the Renaissance in the Medicean Florence. Theology loses forever its incommensurable heritage of symbols, Mythologems and archetypes.
