 | 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. |

The Middle Chamber – [Osiris and Isis] – [Symbology of the number Seven] – From speculation to fulfillment – [Layman, Mason, Initiate] – The symbol-words AUM and OM – ‘He of whom nothing can be said’ – [Coincidence of opposites]
The Middle Chamber, like the half-Light, shows a precise level of Human Initiation, viz. the level of Reason and Logics, which in the allegory is situated between the Forces of Darkness (ignorance and profane error) and the Power of Light (initiatory Wisdom); the latter is represented by the figure of the Master of all Masters, Hiram. He is the living symbol of the initiatory spirituality addressed to the Humankind, in order to stimulate and accelerate its progress in the evolutionary line. |

| Dangers of devotion |
|
|
| The devotional aspect has stopped many aspirants from reaching valuable goals on the initiatory way. Many books published are not the work of Masters but a result of devotion. A Master doesn’t consider devotion as a virtue; on the contrary he values a strong sense of discipline (from which the word ‘disciple’ comes from), courage (in the continuous change), determination (in applying the method) and intelligence (‘intelligere’ is to look for the sense of every word, concept and teaching, without stopping at the literal sense). |

The technique of Prayer - The Time of the Work - Appendix
The precision of the Prayer is very important for the purpose of the Great Inner Work; every quietist doctrine is an error of method. The Inner Way of the Incognito Philosopher appears to be quietist only in its general aspects, never in its practical and operating applications. |
