Freemasonry > Comments on the Pyramidal Hierarchy
by (3665 reads) |  The subject of this work is the analysis of the pyramid symbol, which, in its apparent simplicity, is the synthesis of a wider concept linked to the idea of hierarchic order. An idea, or the symbol that represents it, is generally ‘personalized' through opinions and interpretations given by those who have lost the objective meaning of the idea itself.

The fulfillment of the initiatory transformation is represented in the East by an upright King Cobra with three lesser cobras on each side. The King Cobra at the center represents the complete reawakening of the serpentine Fire and its ascent at the main center of the head; the six lesser cobras are the representation of the 6 chakras or energetic complementary ganglia, entirely revived.

by (3779 reads) | The Chain of Unification – Method for the construction of a Chain of Unification – The Chain of Unification, universal symbol and sign of science
The Chain of Unification cannot be but Universal; it is made of elements that are certainly not just the mere physical or ‘political’ presence of the Mason.
Accepting the assumption of the Universal reality of the Chain, we might consider the Communions that make it as its links, although they are often broken by profane and anti-initiatory interests of managers inadequate to their own duties and to recognize and gather the needs of the Order and of the Brothers that ‘constitute it’.

by (4342 reads) | The Universality of the Masonic Temple – The Love Knot of the Masonic temple – The Love Knot, symbolic expression of the Energetic Knot.
Let’s take a first step in understanding the Universality of the Masonic Temple, in the past as well as in the present, as a Container of the Initiatory Tradition and then understanding the Universality of the ‘Universal Freemasonry’ towards a future of Illuminated Minds. In this chapter we will take the chance to highlight an ‘intermediate historical point’, that is not distant from the western present of the researcher but also not far away from its origins, which rise farther East and back in Time.

Freemasonry > Imago_Templi Imago Templi / Book II
by (5872 reads) | The space that marks the Masonic Temple off is divided by three rectangular perimeters. The first of the three rectangles is symbolical and it is the Lodge Picture; the second, energetic, is emanated from the Squaring of the Temple created by the Brothers and re-absorbed at their Ritual exit. Finally, the third is represented by the physical form of the Temple.

by (5434 reads) | The Secretary – The Master of Ceremonies – Gloves and Apron (the importance of colors) – The Seven Liberal Arts
It will be useful to make some considerations on the tasks that the Secretary (Secr.) carries out in his Lodge Activity, which are known to every Br. The first divine scribe of the Temple, which is not known to our western culture (from Persians up till now), is the God Thoth, the divine Scribe of the Gods. On an operative level the Secr. is receptive inside the Temple, whilst outside he is its messenger; Thoth was the messenger of Gods, the Secr. is the messenger of the will of the Lodge, which is synthesized in the figure of the W.M. or the Three Lights.

by (4417 reads) | The Middle Chamber – [Osiris and Isis] – [Symbology of the number Seven] – From speculation to fulfillment – [Layman, Mason, Initiate] – The symbol-words AUM and OM – ‘He of whom nothing can be said’ – [Coincidence of opposites]
The Middle Chamber, like the half-Light, shows a precise level of Human Initiation, viz. the level of Reason and Logics, which in the allegory is situated between the Forces of Darkness (ignorance and profane error) and the Power of Light (initiatory Wisdom); the latter is represented by the figure of the Master of all Masters, Hiram. He is the living symbol of the initiatory spirituality addressed to the Humankind, in order to stimulate and accelerate its progress in the evolutionary line.

Freemasonry > Esotericism of the Masonic Apron
by (6226 reads) | The most impressive detail for the imagination of the brothers Masons is the apron they wear as a distinctive sign and an initiatory symbol of Freemasonry in its three degrees of abilities, qualities and virtues. The Apron of Art, therefore, is a historical element of the ‘operative’ tradition which, with the advent of speculative Freemasonry, took the value of initiatory symbol.

by (5115 reads) | The Labyrinth in the esoteric tradition – The squaring of the Temple
On the horizontal plane of ‘Chaos’ the Reason, deceived by its own senses, has to cross a Mental Plane that appears to it Real and Infinite, but that is in actual fact the result of its own deceit and delusion. This moment is known by Tradition as the Labyrinth; in the inner life of the Apprentice it marks the passage from his own Floor, of personal and separating understanding, to the Floor of the Temple, where, thanks to Systems and Guides, the paths become regular and understandable, true Paths of Initiatory Science.
