 | 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. |

The Three Lights, the Four Castes and the Four Ages - The Three Aspects - Cycles Cadences and Rhythms - The Three Pillars in the Temple
When an instruction presents the same topic in different languages, its occult effect is: 'to be able to disown the forms’ by recognizing the essence of every form'.
To deal with a concept on various levels and in different languages allows us to recognize the substance, which is similar in the various fields without being slave of the “form” used to dress the idea. It means to use the form without being its prisoner.

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’.

| Towards inner transmutation |
|
|

 | The Dharma: 3 stages of universal Initiation |
|
|
| The Dharma is a natural and intelligent function of the being. It is expressed in the acknowledgement of duties that can be of a superior nature, such as the spiritual ones, or impersonal such as those destined to sociality, or personal or familiar. The highest form of duty is «for the benefit of humankind». Its first impulse is characterized by a confused spontaneousness that must be replaced by a form of synergic coordination among every participant and the creative use of intelligent analysis. |

| Church and Freemasonry. The secret thread |
|
|
| The Holy Roman Church bases its principles on roots shared by two other monotheistic religions deriving from Abraham’s Tribe: Hebraism, the oldest, and Islam. The ritual and symbolic origins of ancient pagan catechisms contribute to make its primacy even less absolute. Articles of faith, though, belong to the religious field and not to laic research. The only exception is the secret thread that connects Church and Freemasonry. The meanings of symbols and allegories are secret, too. |
