 | 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 monastic Military Order - Part I |
|
|

 | 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... |

 | The sense of vision in the hermetic poetry of William Blake |
|
|
| Until not long ago, William Blake was considered a great visionary poet as well as an eccentric rebel. Literary critics agreed in finding in his poetry the thread that joined him to the great English romantic poets such as Byron, Shelley and Keats; this made Blake a pre-romantic forerunner or even one of the first exponents of this current. After all, it was a time when poets started a journey that would lead to the enclosure of the Ego in one’s own inner lyricism. A nonconformist lifestyle and the paroxysm of certain visions didn’t stir any sensation; emphasis was normality and the reflection of the spirit of the time, surely not an exception. Nevertheless, in the twentieth century a parallel – rather than alternative - interpretation started developing; it saw in the Blakean poetry not only the germs of the ‘poetizing self’ that would flourish in the nineteenth century, but also a reference to suggestions belonging to the world of arcane. |

 | Getting closer to universal knowledge |
|
|
| There isn’t a boundary between “mysteries” and “greater mysteries”. This statement negates the assumption that there is a separation between these two topics which are, on the contrary, projections of the same teaching.
The consequence is that the re-veiling (covering twice) or the revealing (opening) of ideas depends on the vision of the mind of which the observer is able (see inferior and superior psychicism); we’ll try and demonstrate it. |

| Sense of the soul and initiatory impersonality |
|
|
Initiatory research doesn’t respond to personal needs, but to much deeper drives. Whoever starts the journey in search of the ‘golden fleece’ is not only an Argonaut, but an instrument of the deep conscience (soul). A researcher of ‘light’ cannot help receiving and giving ‘love’.
