ESOTERICISM READING > How to find the world of spiritual thought
by (165 reads) |  Enthusiasm is an appreciable virtue, especially when it is accompanied by sincerity in the intentions. Sincerity is what matters. With sincerity we can do almost anything. Any mistake is acceptable if it is made with sincerity. What is not acceptable is the arrogance of false scholars.
It is essential not to stop asking questions. By joining enthusiasm with patience we can get anywhere we wish.

ESOTERICISM READING > On Thought-Forms
by (127 reads) | In this article we will talk about the elusive and paradoxical entities known as ‘Thought-forms’. Science can’t deal with them because they can’t be the object of experimental verification and it is not possible to deal with this topic from a purely intellectual point of view. Only the people who carry out a radical work on themselves can ask themselves if thought-forms really exist. We will analyze the relation between thought-forms, ‘subtle’ bodies of man and prime Matter of the Alchemists; we will talk about the nature of maggots, shells and other invisible entities that man can feed or even equip with their own life through his psychic energies and finally, we will deal with the thought-forms created by a community of men, which are called Eggregore.

ESOTERICISM READING > The duty to ''Aspire''
by (388 reads) | To follow the Path of the Disciple is not an opinion but a series of facts. Therefore it is not the intention of Esonet Project to lower the intellectual level of what has been transmitted by the initiatory tradition that ‘brings together West and East’. Indeed, to diminish the contents of the initiatory teaching reduces its meanings to the simple ‘chronicle’ of an esotericism that becomes another ‘practice of consumption’ of mass commercialization.

ESOTERICISM READING > Metaphysics and Cybernetics (part 1)
by (202 reads) | In the post-modern era – or rather ‘super-modern', according to the neologism coined by Marc Augè – we feed on radical feelings and ideological preconception towards technology. The followers of Habermas and English analytical philosophy claim to be the epigone of the Light and they generally show great trust in scientific rationality. On the contrary, the heirs of ‘active nihilism' show great scepticism about the ability of technology to escape the net of power and cultural industry. The author – making explicit some implicit premises in Heidegger's thought – postulates the possibility of a ‘third' way that doesn't indulge in easy demonizations or optimistic compliances, but proposes to grasp the relations between the virtual world of cybernetics and the creating imagination of mysticism.

ESOTERICISM READING > Second Life: utopia of the second millennium or new globalized shopping center?
by (354 reads) | There is a lot of talk about Second Life and the freedom of expression that it guarantees to its users. But is this ‘freedom’ such or, on the contrary, it undergoes the social-economical bonds that rule the conscience of contemporary man? Is Second Life a virtual multiverse of free subjectivity or is it the nth simulacrum of the will to standardize that belongs to the globalized society? The author tries to give an answer, showing the path to a truly ‘free’ cyberspace not ruled by marketing strategies of multinationals.

ESOTERICISM READING > Deleuze, interpreter of the eternal return
by (215 reads) | Gilles Deleuze was gifted with feverish and exalted dialectic ability; in his lessons he covered different subjects with extreme ease. Nevertheless his transgression was limited to the intellectual level, since his private life was that of a normal teacher, married with children. The effort to think the Unthought-of often took delirious and convulsive tones in the Deleuzian writing, such as in the Logic of Sense, a 1969 book.

ESOTERICISM READING > Heidegger and the ‘last metaphysician of the West’
by (275 reads) | Heidegger retrieves the Nietzschean eternal return and puts it in relation with the will to power, considering it as a metaphysical attempt to practice the control of the becoming in the eternal circle, prelude to the domain of con-temporary technology. The Nietzschean superman becomes the master of the earth who, orphan of a dead God, through the weapon of technology starts carrying out the old Baconian dream of total domain on nature.

ESOTERICISM READING > Words and dreams on the initiatory Path
by (254 reads) | This article has been inspired by the impulses that often tie up candidates in the fondness for their ideals. The ideal, then, assumes the characteristics of a Totem. Therefore the totemic vision is the most common deceit of the candidate, who is left alone to direct his emotional impulses; in actual fact he keeps vivifying his personal self, gratifying it in its convictions.

ESOTERICISM READING > Phaistos disc - A new interpretative approach
by (270 reads) | In the old continent the most ancient document containing symbols of a very old martial or sacerdotal-martial initiatory tradition (according to some authorsthe so-called ‘chivalrous path' of the initiatory journey) is undoubtedly preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Herakleion; it is the Phaistos Disc, finding of a prestigious Italian archaeological mission at the beginning of the twentieth century.
