 | 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.

 | 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.

| Church and Freemasonry. The secret thread |
|
|
| The Holy Roman Church bases its principles on roots shared by two other monotheistic religions deriving from Abraham’s Tribe: Hebraism, the oldest, and Islam. The ritual and symbolic origins of ancient pagan catechisms contribute to make its primacy even less absolute. Articles of faith, though, belong to the religious field and not to laic research. The only exception is the secret thread that connects Church and Freemasonry. The meanings of symbols and allegories are secret, too. |

| Biblical origins of the term Landmarks |
|
|
| We have already discussed at length about the link that joins religion and Freemasonry with catechisms, numbers and symbols.
The concept itself of ‘Landmarks', an apparently ‘true British' expression, has biblical origins, therefore Hebrew, like most of the main Masonic and religious symbols in the West. |

| Misunderstandings and misdeeds of a mind that lies – To want to fly – The Egg of Columbus of the initiatory path.
The best quality in man is the creative experience he has and he can transmit. It starts from the desire for knowledge, which is only partly satisfied by books; indeed, formal reading doesn’t reach the deep meanings of which we only perceive the presence (root meanings and archetypes). This limit is the boundary between learning and knowing, between abstract sciolism and direct experience, practice and experiment.
