 | 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.

 | ‘Disputationes’, logic and intuition |
|
|
| When, among initiates, there is an exchange of fixed, and therefore unchangeable, principles, there cannot be a dispute, but only edification of ideas, where each initiate brings his own stone, sensitive and perceptive, angled by his own intellectual abilities.

| Since ancient times, building ‘immaterial bridges’ has been the fundament of mysteric science, which finds its highest expression in hiero-inspiration. The term Hierophant comes from this; it indicates the initiator that became ‘bridge’ and transmitted to the postulant the ‘knowledge’ of which he was the ‘Chalice’.
Holy inspiration was a prerogative of Hierophants; it consists of receiving ideas from the ‘divine’ plane. Plato called this dimension ‘hyperuranium’ (plane of archetypical ideas).
