Esotericism_Reading > Words and dreams on the initiatory Path
by (3833 reads) |  This article has been inspired by the impulses that often tie up candidates in the fondness for their ideals. The ideal, then, assumes the characteristics of a Totem. Therefore the totemic vision is the most common deceit of the candidate, who is left alone to direct his emotional impulses; in actual fact he keeps vivifying his personal self, gratifying it in its convictions.

Esotericism_Reading > Bataille, Nietzschean mystic of the eternal return
by (3821 reads) | Almost all French philosophers always tried to read Nietzsche in parallel with Sade, not only along the axis Freud-Marx. The will to power and the superman are well connected with the transgressive subjectivism – ratiocentric or psychotic-oneiric – of the French libertine. There isn’t such a good connection with the Eternal Return, which is apparently a break in the Nietzschean thought. At least until Bataille; he builds his Nietzschean reading on what has been an element of difficult harmonization with the rest of the thought of the German philosopher.

Question&Answer > The power of silence
by (3381 reads) | ...I don’t understand at all the concept of Masonic tolerance [...] where does Masonic tolerance start and where does it end, and what does it mean exactly? How to apply it materially? How to avoid looking like a ‘fool’, since nowadays in actual fact to be tolerant means to be a fool or a goody-goody and the only result is that the person on the receiving end thinks that he can easily abuse you?

Alchemy > Jung, scholar of esoteric doctrines and alchemic tradition
by (8745 reads) |  In this work the Author boldly elaborates on the Jungian interpretation of Zozimos of Panopolis’ writings, in particular the Peri Aretes; he refers to the fundamental interaction between alchemy and psychoanalysis studied by C. G. Jung. According to the latter Alchemy and psychology are linked by mutually fertile hermeneutic interactions. In particular, the Peri aretes and the visions of Zosimos are the subject of his Alchemical studies. The Author enriches this study by introducing the alchemic tradition in the different western historical-cultural contexts and by comparing them to the postulates of Indian and Chinese tradition. The study is particularly relevant because it explains the occult meaning of many archetypes of the individual and collective oneiric dimension. It is very useful to understand the inexhaustible millenary research on the real alchemic dimension.

Freemasonry > Masonic_religiosity Biblical origins of the term Landmarks
by (3954 reads) |  We have already discussed at length about the link that joins religion and Freemasonry with catechisms, numbers and symbols.
The concept itself of ‘Landmarks', an apparently ‘true British' expression, has biblical origins, therefore Hebrew, like most of the main Masonic and religious symbols in the West.

Esotericism_Reading > Derrida and the essence of the ''female-truth''
by (3505 reads) | On the contrary of other French philosophers, Jacques Derrida was influenced more by Heidegger than by Nietzsche. Derrida laid the bases for his deconstructionist analysis on the rocky Heideggerian meditations, re-interpreting the ontological referent of the German philosopher’s thought: the being.
