 | 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.

| Illusion of the form |
|
|
| Everything that surrounds us and that is knowable through our senses, we can say that it exists; usually we say it’s real, although its guise (what we see) is substantially illusory. This is because every representation veils in its form the underlying life that is its cause.
Therefore any reduction of metaphysical reality into physical forms (language, symbol, ritual, etc.) as much as it can be close to the metaphysical reality, it’s physical and therefore it’s not real.
