 | 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.

| Mechanism of Knowledge |
|
|
| Q: Is it fair to say that we must remember, rather than declare, that we must change and that the ‘memory of Self’ will bring the change (the alchemic gold is already inside us, only covered by a layer of dirt: the mind...)? |

| Ars Muratoria - «Architectonic tables» of the Great Builders |
|
|
| The work of art is the symbol of the artist; the sacred Work is the symbol of great Builders. Among the great works, perhaps architecture is the Art which has best represented sacredness; it has built spaces where purity of forms has inspired thinkers, artists and ordinary people. |

 | From knowledge to mental liberation, stage 7 |
|
|
| The most significant step for personal progress is to acknowledge that we know nothing (nothing substantial). To discover that we don’t know is the flash of intelligence that prepares us to welcome all that is new and unknown with modesty. On the contrary, to be satisfied with what we know is the anteroom of intellectual sleep. The people who don’t feel curious for the new and different, or don’t feel inside them the drive towards harmony and beauty, think that to perfect themselves is a chore that they can’t face. |

| Esoterical meaning of Dante’s Mountain |
|
|
| In the Convivio, Tome II, Dante Alighieri wrote: « ...in every Work of Art there are always four meanings, the literal, the allegorical, the moral and the anagogical one (Greek anŕ-ago: to bring up).…» This criterion that sums up four ways of understanding an idea, gives shape to an ideal mountain to be climbed in order to reach the top and find the immaterial purity of the primogenial idea. |
