 | 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. |

 | Phaistos disc - A new interpretative approach |
|
|
| In the old continent the most ancient document containing symbols of a very old martial or sacerdotal-martial initiatory tradition (according to some authorsthe so-called ‘chivalrous path' of the initiatory journey) is undoubtedly preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Herakleion; it is the Phaistos Disc, finding of a prestigious Italian archaeological mission at the beginning of the twentieth century. |

|
| The separation of initiatory Systems
The initiatory System, whose roots are to be found in the East, has always been part of the social fabric of the humankind. It used different expressions and forms to be understood when customs, languages and habits of the profane world changed; it has always affected men’s education from the inside.

|
|
| 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. |

| From magnetic attraction to the moment of "making one's own choice" |
|
|
In a recent session I attended, it has been given considerable credit to the idea that curiosity is the spark that drives a person to embark on the masonic journey. After careful consideration I completely disagree with this concept. I think curiosity is rather a consequence of much deeper factors than the prime cause.
But which are the motives that lead to choose the journey of Freemasonry first and then stay on it or leave it?
