 | 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.

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.
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.

 | Roerich's far quest for Beauty |
|
|
| The greatest tribute of our time to an individual living artist, we are told, is the proposed erection of a new home for the Roerich Museum in New York City, a $2,000,000 studio apartment building on Riverside Drive, to house the growing treasures created or collected by Nicholas Roerich, who, to quote a recent criticism, "has been termed, quite justly, the foremost living Russian painter."

| The inner Order which the Mason works for is the only ‘instrument’ able to generate a superior and common order expressed by the term ‘Universal Freemasonry’. It is a ‘Brotherly chorda’ made of links pulsating with hearts and minds. |

The Universality of the Masonic Temple – The Love Knot of the Masonic temple – The Love Knot, symbolic expression of the Energetic Knot.
Let’s take a first step in understanding the Universality of the Masonic Temple, in the past as well as in the present, as a Container of the Initiatory Tradition and then understanding the Universality of the ‘Universal Freemasonry’ towards a future of Illuminated Minds. In this chapter we will take the chance to highlight an ‘intermediate historical point’, that is not distant from the western present of the researcher but also not far away from its origins, which rise farther East and back in Time. |

| Freemasonry and Initiation |
|
|
| Freemasonry is an initiatory oriented School of thought; but this detail doesn’t seem to interest all masons. After all, not even Churches manage to engage the interest of the devotional people towards a spiritual Principle that, paradoxically, is demonstrated only outside the official structures of its hierarchies. It follows that no good School can make a ‘good pupil’ if he doesn’t want to be one. |

 | Talking as a disciple to become a Disciple |
|
|
| The aim of an aspirant is not so much to “converse” with other aspirants on what he thinks right or interesting, but rather to commit in order to be “Accepted” in a Group (ashram) because he is “called” to collaborate to the Project of a Master.
The “Service” to which the Masters of Wisdom and Compassion address many “energies”, together with the “abilities” of the people who belong to their Ashram, is the everlasting contribution to the cause of the Common Welfare. It is a Welfare called Evolution and inner Progress which every Member of the human Family is called to. |
