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.

The Number Nine, perfection
The primitive Yod is supported by nine pillars. These nine pillars are placed in the nine directions of the world. They are placed in right lines, Three in each direction and one in the center. These three points placed as a square make nine, which are in actual fact eight. They are the thrones of the sacred Yod.

Number Eight, from the Sign of Chaos.
We have seen the eight-pointed Star as the Sign of Chaos. But to simply stop at that first and far too synthetic statement would not allow the researcher to completely and exhaustively own the meaning hidden in that shape.

| Debts and credits of the ‘many ourselves’ |
|
|
| The fact that language can be complex and affected or simple and within the reach of people who don’t know Italian very well, is something that concerns knowledge, notions, school. In other words, it is at the level of brain and reason, whilst Knowledge and Wisdom can be found in people who can’t even read. There are many examples of illiterate Wise men.

 | Nature and Origins of Evil in the Hebrew Kabala |
|
|
| Here are some notes taken years ago about the Kabala and the origins of evil... Why should we wonder about the nature and origins of evil? Many people state that our need to separate light and shadow, good and evil, is only the result of the blindness that prevents us from seeing the unity hidden behind the apparent game of opposites… |

The Number Three – the Foundation of the Masonic Work
We have dealt with the application of the three and the three-fold several times in all the previous topics of our journey; for the economy of this work I think it is pointless to re-propose all those meanings. Likewise I think it makes no sense to anticipate for all numbers concepts that we will treat later.
