 | The Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem |
|
|
| Following the thread of documents, we reach the conclusion that not all of the Templar Order was dissolved. Many warrior-monks entered the high ranks of other Orders, in Scotland and Spain, where they continued standing out for they courage and loyalty. Others, it is said, found hospitality in the Confraternities of Freemasons, where they continued erecting Churches and Cathedrals. Since the knights templars were ordained monks, some could return in the shadow of monasticism. The re-joining of the Templars to the monastic Order obtained a Bull of acknowledgment from the pope who succeeded to Clement V, the one who wanted their dispersion . According to the author of the essay, though, the transformation of the ‘Ordo Templi' ( Order of the Temples ) didn't stop; it led to the intimate mysticism that originated the Rosicrucian Confraternity. |

| Since ancient times, building ‘immaterial bridges’ has been the fundament of mysteric science, which finds its highest expression in hiero-inspiration. The term Hierophant comes from this; it indicates the initiator that became ‘bridge’ and transmitted to the postulant the ‘knowledge’ of which he was the ‘Chalice’.
Holy inspiration was a prerogative of Hierophants; it consists of receiving ideas from the ‘divine’ plane. Plato called this dimension ‘hyperuranium’ (plane of archetypical ideas).
