Freemasonry > Imago_Templi Imago Templi - Book I
by (625 reads) |  The Chamber of Reflection – The Fittings – The Room of lost steps – Astrological references in the Chamber of Reflection
This is the second of the six works that I consider necessary to propose in order for the Mason Brother to access the higher or Mystery Initiations, not only symbolically but also for the Light acquired through his knowledge and the ability to use the instruments hidden in the Tradition of the Order of the Temple.

Freemasonry > MasonicInstructions The hexagram and the development of the triangles
by (654 reads) | The hexagram is an ancient symbol also known as ‘King Solomon’s Clavicles’; it is a seal that opens many doors, more that we can imagine.
In the two overlapping triangles we recognize the synthetic symbol of a transcendent reality. There are many keys to its interpretation, and this is true for every symbol.

Freemasonry > White Freemasonry and initiatory praxis
by (536 reads) | In its initiatory meaning White Freemasonry is not only the circumscribed and exoteric associative expression with which it is usually represented. In actual fact, to reach white initiation means to touch an apex of omni-comprehensive, therefore universal, thought whose content annuls any conceptual disparity of form and expression.
Therefore initiation is a synthesis of undifferentiated consciousness that arises from a more advanced model of conscience, able to tone down the multitude of mental images used to represent a reality.

Freemasonry > MasonicInstructions Illusion of the form
by (454 reads) | Everything that surrounds us and that is knowable through our senses, we can say that it exists; usually we say it’s real, although its guise (what we see) is substantially illusory. This is because every representation veils in its form the underlying life that is its cause.
Therefore any reduction of metaphysical reality into physical forms (language, symbol, ritual, etc.) as much as it can be close to the metaphysical reality, it’s physical and therefore it’s not real.

Freemasonry > Modernism, paradox of ancient mysteries
by (438 reads) | I think that there can be several convergences between the crudeness of realism and the polemic verve of perennialism. Especially if they are expressed with a rigor similar to science rather than close to the passional and compromising criterion of ignorant cicisbei wearing loud scarves.
To ‘call a spade a spade’ is an attitude unwelcome in the ‘upper-class salons’ of certain Masonic groups.

Freemasonry > Biblical origins of the term Landmarks
by (476 reads) | We have already discussed at length about the link that joins religion and Freemasonry with catechisms, numbers and symbols.
The concept itself of ‘Landmarks', an apparently ‘true British' expression, has biblical origins, therefore Hebrew, like most of the main Masonic and religious symbols in the West.

Freemasonry > Secret numbers in masonic catechisms
by (1680 reads) | The religious feeling is a widespread aspect in every level of Freemasonry, in every office and ritual act. The presence of a religious soul can’t be ignored; on the contrary, it must be understood in its deepest aspects. We will complete the journey through the most representative symbols of Masonic religiosity, up to the numbers hidden in its symbols.

Freemasonry > The Bible on the Masonic Altar and the Menorah on the Altar
by (604 reads) | The Masonic oath is a psycho-dramatic representation aimed at ‘impressing’ the neophyte’s mind. But there is nothing religious about this oath. The presence of the Bible is purely symbolical. Furthermore, it is wrong to consider it as a Catholic book.

Freemasonry > To erect temples to virtue and dig dungeons for vices
by (581 reads) | The Mason is told over and over again ‘to erect temples to virtue and dig dungeons for vices’.The gist of this metaphor is the invitation to ‘work for the benefit of the humankind by digging dungeons for ignorance’, which is the greatest vice of the man who opposes light...

Freemasonry > Ritual acts and initiatory reality
by (525 reads) | The inner Order which the Mason works for is the only ‘instrument’ able to generate a superior and common order expressed by the term ‘Universal Freemasonry’. It is a ‘Brotherly chorda’ made of links pulsating with hearts and minds.
