| Suffering in the initiatory Teaching |
|
|
An oriental Master used to teach: "happiness originates from the abandonment of desire". Since unhappiness is the result of ignorance and it creates errors, we can say that suffering is the result of ignorance; on the contrary, happiness is the result of Wisdom.

The Rule of Silence - Understanding the animal instinct - Lower and higher psychism - Visualization and meditation
The agent that shapes Nature with meanings is silence. Languages, as well as their degeneration, make the world of chaos. For this reason the first golden rule is the Rule of Silence. Indeed, through silence the (inwards) hearing intensifies. |

| The bluff of the inexistent initiation |
|
|
| …I am deeply convinced about my choice of joining Freemasonry; I respect the principles and values of Universal Freemasonry and therefore I also appreciate situations and behaviors that I find difficult to understand. I get stronger and I sight what I will be with time…Difficulties sublimate and fortify the spirit, giving me a vision that becomes clearer and clearer…Does my condition call for silence at the moment? …But sooner or later the day will come when I will be able to offer a humble contribution to what some Brothers are doing. |

| Transference of the Symbol |
|
|
I would like to ask a question on the ‘symbol’, on the hermetic force that derives from it...the observer that faces a symbol must be able at least to be in tune with it; this is the only way to perceive its force and be positively influenced by it.

| Priest exorcist and magician |
|
|
| What is the difference between a priest exorcist and a magician? Some people say that they are the same thing for the purpose of the elimination of negativity...other people say that we need to go to the magician in cases of bad luck, whilst we need the priest in cases of paranormal phenomena (smell of rotten meat, unexplainable noises, presences, etc.)... Some magicians sustain the existence of spirits and demons; others also mention the negative energies of nature and macrocosm (which are not entities, but pure energies)...not to mention the Church, which says that magic is always an instrument of the devil...could you please answer these questions... I am keen on paranormal phenomena, but I am realizing that the more I try and enquiry on this subject the less I understand, because of the opposite opinions on the matter. |

| Bad Fellows and Bad Masons |
|
|
You write: ‘...the brother masons of a specific lodge that I prefer in the respect of your Masonic communions, perhaps different....’ and then: ‘...Freemasonry and its centenary sacred history...’
You have hit the nail on the head, as the saying goes, by raising the matter of the division of Masons; as I have written elsewhere, it has become ‘siblings rivalry’.
On this topic I am positive that the ‘high Masonic reasons’ that broke the unity of Italian Freemasonry (adding a new negative record to the history of our country) and the ‘high Masonic reasons’ that still today keep Its edges ‘well separated’, are the least sacred and most unworthy of a noble destiny. |

The symbol of the sword – From the reality of Principles to the mirage of opinions – Transformation and Transmutation –
Initiatory modesty – Intellectual speculation – Flaming pentalpha
The initiatory principles of Freemasonry are universal, timeless, unchangeable and in their synthesis they lead to the sensitive contact with the Great Architect. But if those Principles are not known or applied,
the adept will reflect only his own personal qualities or characteristics of Freemasonry. It happens, then, that one believes that there are several types of Freemasonry, such as symbolic, speculative, ritual, initiatory, esoteric and exoteric, manifested and occult; in actual fact this is the result of a mirage.
