Freemasonry > Masonic religiosity - Part One
by (416 reads) |  It is common opinion that the devotion of Freemasonry produced an initiatory anomaly that still exists in it. Indeed, it is not clear how an Institution considered ‘generated’ by the old mysterial System (see Mediterranean Mysteries) could mix abstract spirituality with an obvious religious romanticism; or how it could confuse the representations of an exterior cult with the inner principles of spiritual illumination

Freemasonry > Ancient mysteries and the New Era – part 2
by (327 reads) | Inside the Egyptian sacerdotal caste there was a double level: on one side the wide external circle of priests, believers and all those who wanted to approach knowledge and occult sciences; on the other side a close circle that could be accessed through a rite of initiation. Something similar happened in Greece; from many authoritative sources we know about the myth of Eleusis, where initiations to Small and Great Mysteries occurred.

Freemasonry > Ancient Mysteries and the New Era - part 1
by (337 reads) | As a result of astronomic calculations (cosmic cycles and precession of equinoxes), many researchers and scholars of esotericism are positive that the humankind is on the threshold of a new age. What is this New Era for the Mason? Br Francesco Brunelli authoritatively wrote about it in 1981:
«[…] it is approaching (or we are entering) a new era, bearer of transformations inside the psyche and consequently external transformations, too. A change is going to happen, similarly to what happened when Christianity was born two thousand years ago, when an old world collapsed and was replaced by a different civilization. This New Era we are entering is the Era of Aquarius. It is replacing the Age of Pisces.»

Freemasonry > Church and Freemasonry. The secret thread
by (419 reads) | The Holy Roman Church bases its principles on roots shared by two other monotheistic religions deriving from Abraham’s Tribe: Hebraism, the oldest, and Islam. The ritual and symbolic origins of ancient pagan catechisms contribute to make its primacy even less absolute. Articles of faith, though, belong to the religious field and not to laic research. The only exception is the secret thread that connects Church and Freemasonry. The meanings of symbols and allegories are secret, too.

Freemasonry > Towards inner transmutation
by (441 reads) | A fundamental principle of secret Doctrines is that part of the conscience remains in the material impermanence because it is reflected in the divine image. The will to be aware again of this spiritual reflection is the premise to the operation of inner mutation called ‘Initiation’.

Freemasonry > Silent Sounds and Names
by (395 reads) | Neophytes believe that esotericism is a subject to be studied. In actual fact it is first of all a method of enquiry that uses old ‘memories’ to reach the deep meanings of every initiatory proposition.
The main key for every proposition is the meaning of numbers, which is overcome, though, by the sonorous interpretation. There isn’t any conflict in this statement, since the knowledge of harmonics (sonorous notes) originates from the interpretation of numbers and geometric relationships that define the inner space of every form.

Freemasonry > Secret Freemasonry The system of the three Circles
by (417 reads) | Meritocracy as the only element for selection and advancement. The idea of a system for advancement based on three circles (or sensitivity levels) is not an invention, but a method of selection based on recognition used by the oldest initiatory schools.
