Freemasonry > Imago_Templi Imago Templi / 6.6 by (4746 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 (3085 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 (5396 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.

Esotericism_Reading > Learn in order to understand by (3333 reads) | For the neophytes it is quite common to anticipate times, rushing to plan ‘the roof’ of their ‘philosophical abode’ without building sound foundations and ‘right and perfect’ perimeter walls first. This inconsistency occurs also when a mind still ‘reasonably limited’ is directed towards the use of intuition.

Question&Answer > The Comte de Saint Germain by (3636 reads) | …we read that the Comte de Saint Germain was a delegate of the White Brotherhood; was he one of those men called the Masters of the Hierarchy? Is it a grounded claim?

Freemasonry > Freemasonry and Initiation by (3031 reads) | Freemasonry is an initiatory oriented School of thought; but this detail doesn’t seem to interest all masons. After all, not even Churches manage to engage the interest of the devotional people towards a spiritual Principle that, paradoxically, is demonstrated only outside the official structures of its hierarchies. It follows that no good School can make a ‘good pupil’ if he doesn’t want to be one.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi Imago Templi /6.3 by (4199 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 (3252 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 (3509 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.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi Imago Templi /5.6 by (4435 reads) | The Sacred Geometry of the Ritual Fires, from the Great Master to the three Pillars of the Temple – the Ritual Stars of Great Mastery – The Geometry of Ritual Fires in the Masonic Lodge.
When a speculative graft, even pertinent to the Temple, was decided in an operative tradition, it was considered that because of its gravity and inertia the thought of certain men would attract the sense of the knowledge passed on to them towards the bottom. But at the same time it was certain that for the attraction towards the top of others, just for that knowledge, the Path that leads to the White Degrees of the Work would be ‘restored’.
