 | 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 everyones reach, rich and poor.

Ars Muratoria describes in detail the geometry of a method and its instruments. These instruments hide the virtues of the Initiates 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. |

|
|
... 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.

| The Dome of Initiation |
|
|
| I believe that the method for initiatory enquiry of Freemasonry can be summed up by the expression: nosce te ipsum, written on all our temples...but in knowing ourselves...what prevents a real introspective image is the activity of our ego...which is the first great obstacle. Indeed, V.I.T.R.I.O.L., by rectifying ourselves (heaven knows how many times) we will be able to reach the occult stone...using the plumb line like a line that stabs our skin...visiting the interiority... if we dont deconstruct our own mind, we will turn into logorrheic people who, four times a month, meet in a certain place to discuss the sex of angels.... |

 | The Group |
|
|
| A Group linked to the Hierarchy is made by all those Aspirants and Disciples that revolve around its Teaching; the latter is expressed by the Masters that rule their Communities. Every Group is ruled by an Instructor, usually an accepted Disciple, able to transmit in the whole the various elements of the Tradition without adding any slant or personal interpretations to it. Nevertheless the Instructor must be able to color the terms of the Teaching to adapt it to the (psychological) language of the Aspirant and to make it perceivable to his ideological and cultural preconceptions and his intellectual relativity. |

| Masonic religiosity - Part Two |
|
|
| It is common opinion that the devotion of Freemasonry produced an initiatory anomaly that still exists in it. Indeed, it is not clear how an Institution considered generated by the old mysterial System (see Mediterranean Mysteries) could mix abstract spirituality with an obvious religious romanticism; or how it could confuse the representations of an exterior cult with the inner principles of spiritual illumination |

| Metaphysics and Cybernetics (part 1) |
|
|
| In the post-modern era or rather super-modern', according to the neologism coined by Marc Aug we feed on radical feelings and ideological preconception towards technology. The followers of Habermas and English analytical philosophy claim to be the epigone of the Light and they generally show great trust in scientific rationality. On the contrary, the heirs of active nihilism' show great scepticism about the ability of technology to escape the net of power and cultural industry. The author making explicit some implicit premises in Heidegger's thought postulates the possibility of a third' way that doesn't indulge in easy demonizations or optimistic compliances, but proposes to grasp the relations between the virtual world of cybernetics and the creating imagination of mysticism. |
