 | 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. |

|
| Q: If I may I would like to ask you a question on one of your writings [...] In your opinion, how much is actually perceived through study, even the most thorough and careful one, if this activity is not completed by interaction and live exchange that somehow determines, by the tone, presence and charisma (not only the meaning of words), the vibrations and perceptions that we can only have in a gathering of people (or souls)? [...] Personally I think that we must work just as thoroughly in order to prevent this from happening, through a ‘school’ of behavioral ethics that teaches us not to fall in the traps of our personality, which, especially at the lowest levels, we carry like a heavy burden… |

 | Men who want ‘Wings’ |
|
|
| In the humankind we find three classes with different characteristics: a ‘grey majority’ prisoner of the impulses of the lower nature; a ‘variously colored minority’ that fights to free itself from them using the instruments of knowledge and historic memory; a ‘dark minority’ that uses superstition and ignorance to subject the masses. The various initiatory Schools apply this subdivision to represent the methods used by the ‘colored minorities’ to elaborate the strategies for their ‘liberation’. This is why different methods share the same goal: to transform oneself in order to be free from the bonds of materiality. |

| 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.
