 | Anamnesis of the inner reawakening |
|
|
... 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 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.

| Priest exorcist and magician |
|
|
| What is the difference between a priest exorcist and a magician? Some people say that they are the same thing for the purpose of the elimination of negativity...other people say that we need to go to the magician in cases of bad luck, whilst we need the priest in cases of paranormal phenomena (smell of rotten meat, unexplainable noises, presences, etc.)... Some magicians sustain the existence of spirits and demons; others also mention the negative energies of nature and macrocosm (which are not entities, but pure energies)...not to mention the Church, which says that magic is always an instrument of the devil...could you please answer these questions... I am keen on paranormal phenomena, but I am realizing that the more I try and enquiry on this subject the less I understand, because of the opposite opinions on the matter. |

I wrote this short prologue in order to give a psycho-dramatic view to the history of the ‘fall’ of our soul, which we know is the same for all Souls. Likewise, the last part of the Journey on the Path to their ‘reintegration’ in the Celestial Jerusalem is the same for all Souls.

| The lost Sacralization – Part 5 |
|
|
| The Chain of U.nion is the physical realization of the will for cohesion, produced by the attracting energy of a Group of men and women that exists and lives independently from its qualities. If the Group lacks the attracting force of the central nucleus, the will for cohesion ends; the composts crumble and separate. If the phenomenon refers to the human body, it corresponds to death. Therefore the attracting force of a Group must be continuously strengthened with ability, method and care. |

| ‘Disputationes’, logic and intuition |
|
|
| When, among initiates, there is an exchange of fixed, and therefore unchangeable, principles, there cannot be a dispute, but only edification of ideas, where each initiate brings his own stone, sensitive and perceptive, angled by his own intellectual abilities. This building is the Temple , symbol of the search for knowledge and truth, which is the philosophical Abode of every initiate. |
