 | 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. |

 | From reason to Pure Reason, evolutionary process of mind and conscience |
|
|
The differences between reason and Pure reason have always intrigued intellectuals, originating discussions that led to a conclusion: reason and Pure reason are the start and finish of the same evolutionary process that involves mind and conscience. Mental development and expansion of conscience start in the reason, freeing themselves from the ties of the physical-animal nature. Therefore the conscious self (the rough Stone of the Masonic catechism) doesn’t recognize itself anymore in the instincts of the lower nature, which it tries and controls.

 | Curiosity and magnetic attraction |
|
|
“There are different ways of interpreting curiosity. Many people view it as a puerile and superficial behavior. A minority, on the other hand, believes that it is the spark that lights the mind, driving it towards new adventures. In actual fact they both exist. They originate from the different sensitivity of man and his ability to respond to the impulses of conscience.” |

 | Binary matrix of the karmic mechanism |
|
|
In physics, the third law of motion states that to every action corresponds an equal and opposite reaction. Although with a very remote origin, we find the same principle in the fundaments of the karmic postulate. It states that every event originates from a cause and the effect can be annulled only by annulling the cause that manifested it. From this philosophical equation originates the term karma corresponding to the correlation between cause and effect. |

 | Considerations on the mysticism of essence and on the Carmelite mysticism |
|
|
When we talk about Christian mysticism we must first of all draw a distinction. There are two different issues: one is the ‘mysticism of essence’, the Rhine-Flemish mysticism founded on the deep integration of the divine inside the soul. Another issue is the so-called ‘mysticism of feeling’, where the divine You is considered in a nuptial relation with the soul... |
