 | Inconsistency of virtual initiations |
|
|
... what I think, but that is my opinion, is that a true initiatory organization should never refuse the initiation to those who prove to be spiritually suitable to receive it only because they cannot afford the enrolment and a monthly fee that is beyond their possibilities. Not all initiatory organizations are the same. Fortunately there are some, in my experience, which are within everyone’s reach, rich and poor.

Ars Muratoria describes in detail the ‘geometry’ of a method and its instruments. These instruments hide the virtues of the Initiate’s Psyche in the allegory.
On the contrary of what we think, it is necessary to refuse and disown the exoteric isolation of the High ritual Chambers and to understand the invisible connections of the initiatory activities through which Esoteric Philosophy joins in the Scottish Pyramid the commitment of initiates of different levels and abilities.

When in the evolution of the Human Kingdom the air element of the thought got in contact with the fire element of the spirit, an aqueous and voluble element appeared in the lower levels of the mind; it still accompanies Personality up to its complete individualization. |

|
|
... I wonder if being an initiate represents the "sine qua non" condition... or isn't it enough to have a pure and simple love for knowledge, beyond any material interest.

| Ancient Mysteries and the New Era - part 1 |
|
|
| 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.»

 | The Dharma: 3 stages of universal Initiation |
|
|
| The Dharma is a natural and intelligent function of the being. It is expressed in the acknowledgement of duties that can be of a superior nature, such as the spiritual ones, or impersonal such as those destined to sociality, or personal or familiar. The highest form of duty is «for the benefit of humankind». Its first impulse is characterized by a confused spontaneousness that must be replaced by a form of synergic coordination among every participant and the creative use of intelligent analysis. |

| The tower of Babel of languages |
|
|
| Ways, you know, are endless. They’re as many as mind’s languages and interpretations.
All of them can be useful, but only a few are actually real. So we have to tell the real things from their images. An attraction or sympathy are not enough for a reflection to come true

 | The weight of actions |
|
|
| I believe that we must distinguish between easiness of abstraction and difficulty of action. Inertia never equals the effort of action; likewise, writing never equals the laboriousness of building. Finally, saying and doing almost never combine. |

The Universality of the Masonic Temple – The Love Knot of the Masonic temple – The Love Knot, symbolic expression of the Energetic Knot.
Let’s take a first step in understanding the Universality of the Masonic Temple, in the past as well as in the present, as a Container of the Initiatory Tradition and then understanding the Universality of the ‘Universal Freemasonry’ towards a future of Illuminated Minds. In this chapter we will take the chance to highlight an ‘intermediate historical point’, that is not distant from the western present of the researcher but also not far away from its origins, which rise farther East and back in Time. |

 | Vertical telepathy |
|
|
The term horizontal telepathy describes the mental contact between two individual psychic elements, viz. two different people; by vertical telepathy we mean the phenomenon of integration (inner communication) between the psychic element immersed in the physiology of the brain (the conscience of the personal self, also called lower ego) and its metaphysical counterpart, viz. the part of the same conscience free from the limits of corporal senses, viz. the super-conscience of the soul that expresses itself in the densest planes below through the Ego.

| Birth, Life, Death. Basic considerations on initiation |
|
|
| Birth, Life, Death, Three great initiations – To grow means to initiate oneself – Elitist, social and edonist initiations: three dimensions where to grow – Psycho-synthesis, approach to a modern initiatory praxis – The Principle of Self-Initiation – The Principle of Diorism – Conclusive aspects – Appendix: Three theories on death.
Pirandello wrote that exams never end in life. It follows that trials don’t end either, until the last great initiation of ‘physical death’ comes. To find in life the true initiatory path makes the concept of initiation extremely wide and refined; it eventually develops through three degrees: birth, life and death of the interpreter.
For many doctrines they are definitive passages, whilst according to the initiatory Doctrine to be born, to live and to die are apparent states of the same journey that in materiality keep repeating themselves up to the complete physical manifestation of the subtle conscience.
