 ALCHEMY_OF_FIRE > : The Middle Way by (258 reads) | The ‘Middle Way’ is an aphorism used to represent the ‘tension thread’ caused by the superior Self (Ego) to push the physical conscience (personal identity, transitory personality) to find its Unity in spiritual communion again. The unity is built by the link (Bridge of conscience) between the physical and metaphysical aspects of the real identity of the human being, expressing once more its perfect composition. It then overcomes the primitive conflict between ‘spirit and matter’.

ALCHEMY > : Illnesses Of The Soul And ‘Illnesses’ Of The Gods: The Marks Of Time by (415 reads) | ‘I had a dream: I imagined I was a soul that has come back from the ancient Greek world, the soul of an initiate to the mysteries of Dionysus who has been given the chance to cast a glance at the modern world. What would strike me most? Which transformations of our way of living and feeling would attract my attention? Some ‘diseases’ are described; in the popular imagery they were suffered by three gods of the Greek pantheon, Dionysus, Mercury and Apollo. The modern world has ‘forgotten’ the intelligence of the heart; it has been replaced by empty sentimentality. The ability to interiorize experiences has been sacrificed to the myth of speed. The riddance of death and of the relationship with the matter condemns western civilization to lose any contact with the Beauty and the mystery of the world, replaced by false rationality.’

BIBLICAL STUDIES > : Nature and Origins of Evil in the Hebrew Kabala by (396 reads) | 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?

ALCHEMY > : Face and Mask: tale of a double beheading by (374 reads) | Mask and Face meet like hostile enemies in a pressing dialogue. The result is a contrast between the search for unity and Truth and the manifold conflicting needs in our hearts. We talk about the function of Tragedy and Mysteries in the ancient world, the Dionysian enthousiasmos opposed to the ‘enthusiasm’ of the masses manipulated by the media. A double beheading is necessary in order to gain the ‘intelligence of the heart’…

QUESTION & ANSWER > : Questions about Freemasonry by (252 reads) | What is Freemasonry? What are the goals of Freemasonry? Who can belong to Freemasonry? Is Freemasonry a secret association?

Can Freemasonry be considered the same as a political party? Do Masonic Lodges commit sacrilegious acts? What are the reasons for such a hostile attitude from the Roman Church towards Freemasonry, which we don’t see in any other creed?

BIBLICAL STUDIES > : The five Seals of the Apocalypse by (356 reads) | The opening of a seal is a revelation. The opening of the seven seals that secure the divine scroll is the progressive revelation of God’s Plan to the Church.
Each of the seven revelations belong to the Church of the time when it was given, but for the latest members of the Body of Christ represented by the Apostle John, they are all in front of their eyes, in a global vision of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to the Saints, because, as the pastor Russell says: ‘The teachings of the past should never be forgotten.’
