 | 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.

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.
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. |

|
|
... I wonder if being an initiate represents the "sine qua non" condition... or isn't it enough to have a pure and simple love for knowledge, beyond any material interest.

 | Short study on the Templar seal and motto |
|
|
"Non Nobis, Domine, Non Nobis, Sed Nomine Tuo Da Gloriam"
The motto expresses the note inspired by devotion, consistent with the Martian nature of the order, as we will see later, when studying the seal. The invocation doesn’t leave any doubts about the conceptual object at the center of one’s choice as affiliated, represented by the order; indeed the use of ‘us’ depersonalizes the individual and leaves room for a group conscience represented only by the Order. |

 | Talking as a disciple to become a Disciple |
|
|
| The aim of an aspirant is not so much to “converse” with other aspirants on what he thinks right or interesting, but rather to commit in order to be “Accepted” in a Group (ashram) because he is “called” to collaborate to the Project of a Master.
The “Service” to which the Masters of Wisdom and Compassion address many “energies”, together with the “abilities” of the people who belong to their Ashram, is the everlasting contribution to the cause of the Common Welfare. It is a Welfare called Evolution and inner Progress which every Member of the human Family is called to. |

The Sacred Geometry of the Ritual Fires, from the Great Master to the three Pillars of the Temple – the Ritual Stars of Great Mastery – The Geometry of Ritual Fires in the Masonic Lodge.
When a speculative graft, even pertinent to the Temple, was decided in an operative tradition, it was considered that because of its gravity and inertia the thought of certain men would attract the sense of the knowledge passed on to them towards the bottom. But at the same time it was certain that for the attraction towards the top of others, just for that knowledge, the Path that leads to the White Degrees of the Work would be ‘restored’. |

 | From knowledge to mental liberation, stage 12 |
|
|
| Whilst the mind thinks, conscience makes it aware of thinking. Without conscience, the mind wouldn’t realize that it is thinking.
On the other hand, attention affects the conscience and mental concentration expands the boundaries of knowledge. Therefore the interaction between mind and conscience is very important to develop wider areas of consciousness. |

We have seen that in the sign of Gemini those couples of opposites are established, the «individual directions» that help man orient himself in the world. In the sign of Cancer the beings choose the place where to be, their « abode’ along any directions and between any couple of opposites.

| Where did Masonic Solidarity get to? (part 2 - ESOTERICISM EPISTLES - IV) |
|
|
| In the century of ‘open society’ where can esotericism be placed, intended as a secret teaching? It is our duty, I think, to wonder if it makes any sense to talk about esotericism ‘today’ or if, on the contrary, we need to focus on new syntheses. Neurosciences and physics of the infinitely small make past ‘secret’ doctrines obsolete; perhaps they still have their charm, also thanks to their intuitions, but they are indeed obsolete… no doubt. In other words, the background where ‘initiatory societies’ operate is very different from that of Pythagoras, of the builders of cathedrals, of Dee and Ashmole, Anderson and so on. We must leave the return to the past to Harry Potter. On the contrary, let’s ask ourselves what it means to be ‘initiates’ in the twenty-first century and what can the Mysteries be. |
