 | 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 Number Three – the Foundation of the Masonic Work
We have dealt with the application of the three and the three-fold several times in all the previous topics of our journey; for the economy of this work I think it is pointless to re-propose all those meanings. Likewise I think it makes no sense to anticipate for all numbers concepts that we will treat later.

 | Birth, Life, Death. Basic considerations on initiation |
|
|
| 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.

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.

| Knowing the states of crisis |
|
|
| During the long journey of life we have to face several states of crisis. The most distressing ones are those of the "pain of life" and the "struggle for existence".
This essay deals with the evolution of the inner growth through the phenomenon so called " state of crisis".
We point out the conscientious mechanisms of acceptance or refusal to change oneself, starting from the cosmogonic perspective that reflects on the man’s dimension. We try and suggest how to consciously decide of your own destiny.
