 | 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 everyones reach, rich and poor.

Ars Muratoria describes in detail the geometry of a method and its instruments. These instruments hide the virtues of the Initiates 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.

|
| what I would like to say is how often the closed systems you talk about are only apparently closed; if texts considered sacred are accepted in a literal sense and without criticism they become dogmas, but when we interpret them in different ways do they open doors belonging to the Initiatory Tradition? |
