 | 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. |

| On atheism |
|
|
| Strangely enough, the true atheist is the religious man. The theocrat convinced that he is talking on behalf of God and acting in his place. That is the dangerous atheism for human freedom. |

|
| Except for historically extraordinary cases, which are therefore out of question, the proliferation of initiatory (!) – so to speak - Orders and pseudo-orders, factions, fractions and compartments, is due, in my opinion, to two main elements. |

| Why isn’t the true initiate scared of death? Why doesn’t he acknowledge its irreversibility? Because through three initiatory Arts, Ars Muratoria, Ars Regia and Ars Pontificia, the adept reaches and understands the immortal spirit of his interior aspects.

The Mysteries of the Masons /4
According to the sephirothic mysticism every universe of conscience is the extension of the first sephiroth, Kether, which pours out its own vital essence to the lower levels, until Malkuth is created, which is the "earthly exile" of the spiritual conscience. Nevertheless, the materialized conscience preserves part of the primitive sensitiveness. So much that gets the impulse to go back to the first emanation, Kether, and re-join its own main identity. |

| Birth, Life, Death. Basic considerations on initiation |
|
|
| Birth, Life, Death, Three great initiations – To grow means to initiate oneself – Elitist, social and edonist initiations: three dimensions where to grow – Psycho-synthesis, approach to a modern initiatory praxis – The Principle of Self-Initiation – The Principle of Diorism – Conclusive aspects – Appendix: Three theories on death.
Pirandello wrote that exams never end in life. It follows that trials don’t end either, until the last great initiation of ‘physical death’ comes. To find in life the true initiatory path makes the concept of initiation extremely wide and refined; it eventually develops through three degrees: birth, life and death of the interpreter.
For many doctrines they are definitive passages, whilst according to the initiatory Doctrine to be born, to live and to die are apparent states of the same journey that in materiality keep repeating themselves up to the complete physical manifestation of the subtle conscience.
