 | 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 everyone’s reach, rich and poor.

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.

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. |

The Great Gotama gave to the world a complete Teaching of the perfect construction of life.
Contemporary understanding of the community permits a wondrous bridge from Gotama Buddha up to the present time. We pronounce this formula neither for extolling nor for demeaning, but as an evident and immutable fact.
The law of fearlessness, the law of the renunciation of property, the law of the evaluation of labor, the law of the dignity of human personality, beyond castes and outer distinctions, the law of true knowledge, the law of love based upon self-knowledge, make of the covenants of the Teachers a continuous rainbow of the joy of humanity. |

 | Doubt, uncertainty and self-esteem. Different stages of the inner aspect |
|
|
Uncertainty is the companion of insecurity; the doubt of the coward cannot be compared to the caution of the researcher. This difference offers us some basic principles. First, that doubt can be synonym of caution; second that doubt can also be a symptom of uncertainty and lack of self-esteem. |

 | 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. |

The Mysteries of the Masons /6
" ...all religions and sciences reconnect to a single Science, always hidden to the common multitude and transmitted from epoch to epoch, from Initiated to initiated, under the veil of tales and symbols. And this is also true for the legends that the Master Masons placed in the lesser catechisms." - Eliphas Levi |

 | Bataille, Nietzschean mystic of the eternal return |
|
|
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. |
