Freedom of choice and free will

Although there is the common tendency to sum up the meanings of freedom of choice and free will and make their appearance similar, it is necessary to distinguish and separate the meanings of these two principles.
Freedom of choice and free will are the result of two different levels of conscience, which should never be mixed or circumscribed within the same precept.

Building antibodies against profanity

Q : Shouldn't the Masonic institution represent a �bridge' between subtle and heavy? Shouldn't it work for the wellbeing and the progress of the Humankind and T.T.G.O.T.G.A.O.T.U.?

The Journey through the Great Work /1.2

I wrote this short prologue in order to give a psycho-dramatic view to the history of the �fall� of our soul, which we know is the same for all Souls. Likewise, the last part of the Journey on the Path to their �reintegration� in the Celestial Jerusalem is the same for all Souls.

We shall see

We go to search for Sacred Signs.
We go carefully and In silence.

Critical essay on the exoteric praxes of virtual Freemasonry

I think it is time to admit that even the so-called �High initiations� (31st, 32nd and 33rd, the three administrative Degrees of Freemasonry) as well as the previous ones are the approximate and quite folkloristic memory of ancient splendors. Their meanings remain obscure even to the �pontiffs� of Freemasonry.

The Journey through the Great Work /1.1

Introduction � Pax et Cultura

�Civilization is the first manifestation of the real human quality in the animal-man, the first influence of the part, or spark, of the Soul imprisoned into the bonds of personality. Culture is the second stage that shows a higher degree of development of personality, the cultural, esthetical values and the gradual development of mind. Illumination is the third stage. The mind starts being gradually illuminated by the influence of the Soul.�

Bad Fellows and Bad Masons

You write: �...the brother masons of a specific lodge that I prefer in the respect of your Masonic communions, perhaps different....� and then: �...Freemasonry and its centenary sacred history...�
You have hit the nail on the head, as the saying goes, by raising the matter of the division of Masons; as I have written elsewhere, it has become �siblings rivalry�.
On this topic I am positive that the �high Masonic reasons� that broke the unity of Italian Freemasonry (adding a new negative record to the history of our country) and the �high Masonic reasons� that still today keep Its edges �well separated�, are the least sacred and most unworthy of a noble destiny.

The Self and the living Atom

Hello Athos, could you please explain to me �what is the Self�?

The bluff of the inexistent initiation

�I am deeply convinced about my choice of joining Freemasonry; I respect the principles and values of Universal Freemasonry and therefore I also appreciate situations and behaviors that I find difficult to understand. I get stronger and I sight what I will be with time�Difficulties sublimate and fortify the spirit, giving me a vision that becomes clearer and clearer�Does my condition call for silence at the moment? �But sooner or later the day will come when I will be able to offer a humble contribution to what some Brothers are doing.
