| Suffering in the initiatory Teaching |
|
|
An oriental Master used to teach: "happiness originates from the abandonment of desire". Since unhappiness is the result of ignorance and it creates errors, we can say that suffering is the result of ignorance; on the contrary, happiness is the result of Wisdom.

 | Homo Religiosus (ESOTERICISM EPISTLES - I) |
|
|
| ...I don't have any more illusions about the relation between Freemasonry and initiation. I am absolutely positive that for contemporary man it is rather impossible to transcend anything (the oriental man as well as the occidental man). Furthermore the possibility of an ‘esotericism' or an ‘initiation', at least in Freemasonry, concerns a trite dualistic ontology of a Platonic kind, viz. the ‘essences' up there and the ‘imperfect copies' down here, which contemporary thought has overcome a long time ago.... |

| Esotericism of the Masonic Apron |
|
|
| 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. |
