| 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. |

The symbol of the sword – From the reality of Principles to the mirage of opinions – Transformation and Transmutation –
Initiatory modesty – Intellectual speculation – Flaming pentalpha
The initiatory principles of Freemasonry are universal, timeless, unchangeable and in their synthesis they lead to the sensitive contact with the Great Architect. But if those Principles are not known or applied,
the adept will reflect only his own personal qualities or characteristics of Freemasonry. It happens, then, that one believes that there are several types of Freemasonry, such as symbolic, speculative, ritual, initiatory, esoteric and exoteric, manifested and occult; in actual fact this is the result of a mirage.

| Klossowski: delirium as a result of the Nietzschean thought |
|
|
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. |

The Mysteries of the Masons /6
" ...all religions and sciences reconnect to a single Science, always hidden to the common multitude and transmitted from epoch to epoch, from Initiated to initiated, under the veil of tales and symbols. And this is also true for the legends that the Master Masons placed in the lesser catechisms." - Eliphas Levi |

| Psyche - First hidden instrument of the initiate |
|
|
If an adept smoothed the Rough Stone (character and personality) following the principles of the real Art, he would discover “hidden instruments” to use in order to “animate” the most sacred part of himself. These “hidden instruments” are inner gifts and virtues that come from the Case of Harmonicas of the Great Architect of the Universe. Freemasonry as well knows about their existence which is implied in the metaphor of the “masonry tools”. |

The Etheric Body, the Symbol of the Soul - Emergence and Progress of the Soul - The Angel of the Presence
The life at the heart of the solar system is producing an evolutionary unfoldment of the energies of that universe which it is not possible for finite man as yet to vision. Similarly the center of energy which we call the spiritual aspect in man is (through the utilization of matter or substance) producing an evolutionary development of that which we call the soul, and which is the highest of the form manifestations - the human kingdom. Man is the highest product of existence in the three worlds. |
