 | 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.

| The Sensitive Sphere |
|
|
The sensitivity of the Ego and that of Personality - The natural and initiatory Paths - The descent in the lower worlds - By-passing the mind - In order to get out we need to get in - The recognition of the models
Let's start outlining this argument with the awareness that it is not so much about knowing, feeling, listening to certain notions, but rather about employing them on ourselves shortly. Therefore we will carry out this recognition in general terms. In an abstract being, in a certain region of space that we cannot and do not want to quantify, an organ of sensation appears. It would be easier for us to call it perception but in actual fact it is not perception yet. A sensitive being that appears like a dot. |

 | All that attracts or repels is always a growth factor |
|
|
| According to the law of attraction-rejection, what accelerates or slows down the growth process is determined by what attracts or repels the mind.
Especially in an education of imitative kind, what tempts us or leaves us indifferent becomes the guide line of our attitude, designating the first goals in our growth.

 | Bataille, Nietzschean mystic of the eternal return |
|
|
| Almost all French philosophers always tried to read Nietzsche in parallel with Sade, not only along the axis Freud-Marx. The will to power and the superman are well connected with the transgressive subjectivism – ratiocentric or psychotic-oneiric – of the French libertine. There isn’t such a good connection with the Eternal Return, which is apparently a break in the Nietzschean thought. At least until Bataille; he builds his Nietzschean reading on what has been an element of difficult harmonization with the rest of the thought of the German philosopher. |

| The initiation to women’s cults in the Mysteries of the ancient world /3 |
|
|
| So far we have talked more about what happened in the Greater Mysteries, neglecting the Lesser Mysteries, mentioning only that perhaps initiates had to stand four tests connected to the elements. A glimmer of light is offered us by the beautiful story of Cupid and Psyche, contained in Apuleius’ Golden Ass.

| Words and dreams on the initiatory Path |
|
|
| This article has been inspired by the impulses that often tie up candidates in the fondness for their ideals. The ideal, then, assumes the characteristics of a Totem. Therefore the totemic vision is the most common deceit of the candidate, who is left alone to direct his emotional impulses; in actual fact he keeps vivifying his personal self, gratifying it in its convictions. |
