 | 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. |

| Anamnesis of the inner reawakening |
|
|
... 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.

| Skin clothes |
|
|
| ...from Genesis, 3/21-24, ‘And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skins, and clothed them. […] Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.’ […] Could there be a relation with the Masonic apron, which at the beginning was made of skin…? |

 | Karma: cyclic expression of justice, balance |
|
|
| Some currents of thought sustain that man has only one life available to reach his final goal. Not all philosophies, though, agree. The oldest traditions consider the appearance of life as a cyclic experience of existence, whose material form is only the formal expression of a bigger and more articulated project; they regard it as involving not only itself but also the complex system called ‘universal creation’.
Every time it appears new chances for growth and improvements develop; they are gradually distributed in several cycles and existences to the fragment of individual conscience called "man".

 | Psyche - First hidden instrument of the initiate |
|
|
| If an adept smoothed the Rough Stone (character and personality) following the principles of the real Art, he would discover “hidden instruments” to use in order to “animate” the most sacred part of himself. These “hidden instruments” are inner gifts and virtues that come from the Case of Harmonicas of the Great Architect of the Universe. Freemasonry as well knows about their existence which is implied in the metaphor of the “masonry tools”. |
