 | 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. |

|
| There isn’t a boundary between “mysteries” and “greater mysteries”. This statement negates the assumption that there is a separation between these two topics which are, on the contrary, projections of the same teaching.
The consequence is that the re-veiling (covering twice) or the revealing (opening) of ideas depends on the vision of the mind of which the observer is able (see inferior and superior psychicism); we’ll try and demonstrate it. |

Aries - Taurus - Gemini
We have already said that we intend to follow the journey of the 12 signs of the zodiac from the point of view of the ‘traveler’. The sign of Aries is the archetype of any possible beginning and it draws its symbolic meanings from the legend of the Golden Fleece, from the lamb carried on the shoulders by the god Hermes, from the sacrifice of the lamb to announce or to propitiate a period of resurrection and renewal.

 | Metaphysics and Cybernetics (part 1) |
|
|
| In the post-modern era – or rather ‘super-modern', according to the neologism coined by Marc Augè – we feed on radical feelings and ideological preconception towards technology. The followers of Habermas and English analytical philosophy claim to be the epigone of the Light and they generally show great trust in scientific rationality. On the contrary, the heirs of ‘active nihilism' show great scepticism about the ability of technology to escape the net of power and cultural industry. The author – making explicit some implicit premises in Heidegger's thought – postulates the possibility of a ‘third' way that doesn't indulge in easy demonizations or optimistic compliances, but proposes to grasp the relations between the virtual world of cybernetics and the creating imagination of mysticism. |
