 | 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.

| Castel del Monte, an energy-point |
|
|
| Q : I cannot but confirm the impressions mentioned previously: i) As soon as I saw the shape of the octagon from the distance I stopped and stared at it for some time – totally attracted by something I cannot describe with words; ii) It is obvious that in eight centuries nobody has built anything nearby – the octagon stands out clearly and isolated; iii) The octagon has not been built as a living space, therefore it is not a castle, etc…; it is a Philosopher's Dwelling, a place non-place where one can be engrossed in meditation. |

The Seven Capital Sins - The two spiritual Crystallizations - The Philosophical Vitriol
In the Hebrew Cabbala it is said that the Tree of Life corresponds, in the manifested world, to a Small Tree of Life called “Kallah”, the Bride. Reversed and in opposition with it there is “Qliphah”, the Prostitute of the Small Tree of Death. On the Tree of Life the Sephiroths, or spheres of evolutional manifestation, blossom and irradiate. The Qlippoth, or spheres of involutional manifestation, blossom and irradiate on the Tree of Death. Also in the Christian Tradition the Seven Virtues are opposed by the Seven Sins. |

|
| …what I would like to say is how often the ‘closed systems’ you talk about are only apparently closed; … if texts considered sacred are accepted in a literal sense and without criticism they become ‘dogmas’, but when we interpret them in different ways do they open doors belonging to the Initiatory Tradition? |

| From the Flaming Pentalpha to the Sign of the Goat |
|
|
| Freemasonry gathers symbols with a great ethical, esoteric and philosophical value; among them there is the five-pointed Star. The result of the elaboration of the pentalpha is the Flaming Pentalpha, which is a splendid representation of the initiatory condition. Female Freemasonry uses it as well, but upside down, giving itself a sinister feature. |

|
Communication is the art of building images that reflect ideas. We must not make the mistake of trying to ‘bring the sky on earth’, rather than us going up towards it, otherwise we risk the ‘old evil’ of making ideas profane.

| The Sensible Sphere |
|
|
The sensibility of the Ego and of Personality – The natural and the initiatory Paths – The descent in the lower worlds – By-passing the mind – It is necessary to enter in order to exit– The recognition of models
Let’s start outlining of this concept, well aware that it is not so much about knowing, hearing, listening to certain notions, but more about applying them on ourselves shortly. Therefore we will carry out this reconnaissance in general terms.
In an abstract being, in a certain region of space that we don’t want and cannot quantify, a sensory organ appears; for us it is simpler to call it a perception organ, but in actual fact it is not perception yet. It is a sensible being that appears like a dot. |
