 | 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.

|
|
| When it is said that man has reached the half light, it is a symbolic expression still in use in the initiatory psycho-drama, to say that he has reached with his own reason, a physical interpretation of a mysteric (viz. non common) view coming from the superior sphere of his own inner Hierarchy. Hermeticists and Rosicrucians refer to this inner Hierarchy of spiritual values. |

| The Heart of the world |
|
|
| According to Guénon's writings (but not only them…) it is obvious, from his point of view, the existence of a ‘primordial tradition'. […] I think that primordial tradition exists and it has a meaning in the initiatory journey of those who want to free themselves. I don't think that this belief is in contrast with scientific laws and discoveries. |

 | Esoterical meaning of the Three Classes of Learning |
|
|
| It is a very delicate task to add notions to the ideas of a Master; I feel quite clearly the “karmic responsibility” of stating something in the name of the living Teaching. In order to “study” the subjects linked with the (real) Initiation, though, it is necessary “to add” new details all the time, but made up with ideas and not opinions. |

 | Art and artistic action in everyday life |
|
|
| Many people experience the feeling that a work of art channels and irradiates the energies, the love for the work, the goals, the intentions and intuitions of the artist.
It is as if these elements were kept in the work of art; whoever is in tune with it can perceive its vibrations. From this apparently ordinary experience was born this short reflection on the sense of art and the energy it symbolizes and evokes, purifying its debris; it can infuse praxis and effectiveness in those who can transmute them. |

 | Illnesses of the soul and ‘illnesses’ of the Gods: the marks of time |
|
|
| ‘I had a dream: I imagined I was a soul that has come back from the ancient Greek world, the soul of an initiate to the mysteries of Dionysus who has been given the chance to cast a glance at the modern world. What would strike me most? Which transformations of our way of living and feeling would attract my attention?
Some ‘diseases’ are described; in the popular imagery they were suffered by three gods of the Greek pantheon, Dionysus, Mercury and Apollo. The modern world has ‘forgotten’ the intelligence of the heart; it has been replaced by empty sentimentality. The ability to interiorize experiences has been sacrificed to the myth of speed. The riddance of death and of the relationship with the matter condemns western civilization to lose any contact with the Beauty and the mystery of the world, replaced by false rationality.’ |

| Freedom of choice and free will |
|
|
Although there is the common tendency to sum up the meanings of freedom of choice and free will and make their appearance similar, it is necessary to distinguish and separate the meanings of these two principles.
Freedom of choice and free will are the result of two different levels of conscience, which should never be mixed or circumscribed within the same precept.
