 | 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. |

|
|
... 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.

 | Talking as a disciple to become a Disciple |
|
|
| The aim of an aspirant is not so much to “converse” with other aspirants on what he thinks right or interesting, but rather to commit in order to be “Accepted” in a Group (ashram) because he is “called” to collaborate to the Project of a Master.
The “Service” to which the Masters of Wisdom and Compassion address many “energies”, together with the “abilities” of the people who belong to their Ashram, is the everlasting contribution to the cause of the Common Welfare. It is a Welfare called Evolution and inner Progress which every Member of the human Family is called to. |

 | Esoterical meaning of the Three Classes of Learning |
|
|
| It is a very delicate task to add notions to the ideas of a Master; I feel quite clearly the “karmic responsibility” of stating something in the name of the living Teaching. In order to “study” the subjects linked with the (real) Initiation, though, it is necessary “to add” new details all the time, but made up with ideas and not opinions. |

The Essential Numbers of the Masonic Work and the minimal rules of their Archaic Symbolism – The evolution of the art of Numbers in the Western school – Two procedures to reveal the ‘secret of a Number’.
When changing the language used so far and creating a more essential ‘form’, we should find an agreement on the minimal value to give the concepts we will find in those new aspects of number, symbol and sound.

Much has been said, often inappropriately, about the Templar initiation. However, I don’t think that the Brother mason, just because he has chosen to walk his path in that Institution rather than in another, can have any advantages from a perfunctory description of the "supposed", as experts call them, Mysteries of the Order of the Temple.

 | The Templar Diaspora, up to the confraternity of the Rose Cross |
|
|
| Following the thread of documents, we reach the conclusion that not all of the Templar Order was dissolved. Many warrior-monks entered the high ranks of other Orders, in Scotland and Spain, where they continued standing out for they courage and loyalty. Others, it is said, found hospitality in the Confraternities of Freemasons, where they continued erecting Churches and Cathedrals.
Since the knights templars were ordained monks, some could return in the shadow of monasticism. The re-joining of the Templars to the monastic Order obtained a Bull of acknowledgment from the pope who succeeded to Clement V, the one who wanted their dispersion . According to the author of the essay, though, the transformation of the ‘Ordo Templi' (Order of the Temple) didn't stop; it led to the intimate mysticism that originated the Rosicrucian Confraternity. |

| Initiatory morale or apostasy – Part 1 |
|
|
| The exoterical form of Freemasonry is a container of ancient symbols and ritual and allegorical languages. It is an envelope that in its modern disposition has been strongly marked by a biblical Hebraism; this has transmitted in this area as well its whole misogyny. |
