 | 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. |

Communication is the art of building images that reflect ideas. We must not make the mistake of trying to ‘bring the sky on earth’, rather than us going up towards it, otherwise we risk the ‘old evil’ of making ideas profane.
