	The Sensitive Sphere
	The sensitivity of the Ego and that of Personality - The natural and initiatory Paths - The descent in the lower worlds - By-passing the mind - In order to get out we need to get in - The recognition of the models Let's start outlining this argument with the awareness that it is not so much about knowing, feeling, listening to certain notions, but rather about employing them on ourselves shortly. Therefore we will carry out this recognition in general terms. In an abstract being, in a certain region of space that we cannot and do not want to quantify, an organ of sensation appears. It would be easier for us to call it perception but in actual fact it is not perception yet. A sensitive being that appears like a dot.

	From knowledge to mental liberation, stage 14
	The mirages of the sensual way – The symbolic maze – Exhibition and narcissism – Self-destruction – Mental inconsistency – Inner blindness –Symbology of the Middle Way – Appendix: Metaphors on the individualization of the species. Kingdom of sorrow and pleasure, the astral conscience is hell on earth. The sensuality that goes with it is more than just practicing sex in different forms and for different purposes. It is more than giving and receiving pleasure in many senses, more than the wish to generate in order to replicate ourselves. Sensuality is a painful process of growth, always hovering between good propositions, longings and selfishness. The sensual way is the metaphor of the fascination that the physical mind causes and suffers. It is the matrix of deceits, which without it wouldn’t exist, it is the ‘art of deceiving’ especially ourselves.

	The sense of vision in the hermetic poetry of William Blake
	Until not long ago, William Blake was considered a great visionary poet as well as an eccentric rebel. Literary critics agreed in finding in his poetry the thread that joined him to the great English romantic poets such as Byron, Shelley and Keats; this made Blake a pre-romantic forerunner or even one of the first exponents of this current. After all, it was a time when poets started a journey that would lead to the enclosure of the Ego in one’s own inner lyricism. A nonconformist lifestyle and the paroxysm of certain visions didn’t stir any sensation; emphasis was normality and the reflection of the spirit of the time, surely not an exception. Nevertheless, in the twentieth century a parallel – rather than alternative - interpretation started developing; it saw in the Blakean poetry not only the germs of the ‘poetizing self’ that would flourish in the nineteenth century, but also a reference to suggestions belonging to the world of arcane.

	From God's humanization to Neo-Darwinism (ESOTERICISM EPISTLES - VI)
	Like in other cosmogonies, even mythological ones, deities worked as mediators between men, of which they showed all characteristics, and a plan unknowable to men. But these forms of abstract and intelligent respect started fading with Hebrew mysticism, when its creator, Moses, humanized the supreme Entity recognized from the start as an impersonal non-Principle and therefore unknowable, animator of the universe from which all is emanated and all returns incorporeal, immaterial, not born, eternal, without an unknowable end or beginning.

	Imago Templi/ Book 5 - IV part
	The qualities of the Logoi in the Menorah (Part 2) – The Four Keys for the interpretation of the Humankind / Method – The Four Castes in the Esoteric System and the Initiatory Rule Continuing in our journey we find the qualities of the Planets and how they manifest themselves. The first manifestation, from the point of view of the individual – which is an inverted version of the real aspect – is made of the Aspects that manifest themselves more visibly in man and that he can recognize around himself. Indeed, man is the unconscious cause of many effects in the five Kingdoms of Nature that surround him.
