 | 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. |

... 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.

| The Bible on the Masonic Altar and the Menorah on the Altar |
|
|
| The Masonic oath is a psycho-dramatic representation aimed at ‘impressing’ the neophyte’s mind. But there is nothing religious about this oath. The presence of the Bible is purely symbolical. Furthermore, it is wrong to consider it as a Catholic book. |

The Inviolability of the Ceremonial Mystery – The Esoteric Symbology of the Candle – Ritual Fires – The Menorah – The Planets of the Menorah
Following our observations in the previous chapter, we should get used to consider, in all the aspects that make all Ceremonials in every Rite or belief, the presence of the apparent ambivalence of white and black, sacred and profane, as an effect of man’s manipulation on the elements that determine, through the desired goals, the pole of quality in its exterior manifestation.

The Secretary – The Master of Ceremonies – Gloves and Apron (the importance of colors) – The Seven Liberal Arts
It will be useful to make some considerations on the tasks that the Secretary (Secr.) carries out in his Lodge Activity, which are known to every Br. The first divine scribe of the Temple, which is not known to our western culture (from Persians up till now), is the God Thoth, the divine Scribe of the Gods. On an operative level the Secr. is receptive inside the Temple, whilst outside he is its messenger; Thoth was the messenger of Gods, the Secr. is the messenger of the will of the Lodge, which is synthesized in the figure of the W.M. or the Three Lights. |

...what should interest us is not the object of knowledge (perhaps the character of the school we belong to)...
