 | 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.

| The Journey through the Great Work /3.2 |
|
|
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. |

 | Michel Foucault and the «death of man» |
|
|
| Together with Deleuze, Michel Foucault has been the main exponent of the French studies on the Nietzsche-Renaissance that marked the start of post-structuralism. The word described a varied group of scholars coming from several disciplines, influenced by the linguistic structuralism of Saussurre and the anthropologic one of Lèvi Strauss. |

 | On Science, Tradition and Magic |
|
|
| After a short digression on the achievements of science and maths in the last century and the perspectives open for our future, we face the problem of relationships between science, traditional teachings and ‘magic thought’. We will try to answer some questions: Must Tradition look for confirmation in scientific discoveries? How do we have to consider in the 21st century the vision of the world belonging to the ‘magic thought’? |

| From God's humanization to Neo-Darwinism (ESOTERICISM EPISTLES - VI) |
|
|
| Like in other cosmogonies, even mythological ones, deities worked as mediators between men, of which they showed all characteristics, and a plan unknowable to men. But these forms of abstract and intelligent respect started fading with Hebrew mysticism, when its creator, Moses, humanized the supreme Entity recognized from the start as an impersonal non-Principle and therefore unknowable, animator of the universe from which all is emanated and all returns incorporeal, immaterial, not born, eternal, without an unknowable end or beginning. |

| The confusion of minor languages |
|
|
| ‘Restoring’ the originality of initiatory topics, extracting them from ‘doctrinal confusion’ and ‘philosophical conflicts’ of minor traditions, means being able to ‘travel backwards’ towards the world of causes, neglecting the world of effects. This is the journey that the researcher must complete. |
