 | 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.

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.
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. |

| Ancient Mysteries and the New Era - part 1 |
|
|
| As a result of astronomic calculations (cosmic cycles and precession of equinoxes), many researchers and scholars of esotericism are positive that the humankind is on the threshold of a new age. What is this New Era for the Mason? Br Francesco Brunelli authoritatively wrote about it in 1981:
[] it is approaching (or we are entering) a new era, bearer of transformations inside the psyche and consequently external transformations, too. A change is going to happen, similarly to what happened when Christianity was born two thousand years ago, when an old world collapsed and was replaced by a different civilization. This New Era we are entering is the Era of Aquarius. It is replacing the Age of Pisces.

 | Dangers of devotion |
|
|
| The devotional aspect has stopped many aspirants from reaching valuable goals on the initiatory way. Many books published are not the work of Masters but a result of devotion. A Master doesnt consider devotion as a virtue; on the contrary he values a strong sense of discipline (from which the word disciple comes from), courage (in the continuous change), determination (in applying the method) and intelligence (intelligere is to look for the sense of every word, concept and teaching, without stopping at the literal sense). |

The birth of encoded language in the western sphere. Two important examples: the Runic Alphabet The Greek Alphabet A particular warning to the Lesser Adept Of Metallic Transmutation, Three Dreams.
Druids, between myth and reality, are the western initiatory people that most contributed to the transmission of the Sacerdotal Mysteries connected to the Natural Magic and to the visible formation of what will be later called by the Initiates that followed: the Great Book of Nature. |

| The Revelation of Initiatory Mysteries |
|
|
| Esoterism often regards mysteries and secrets of different nature which are unveiled or re-veiled (veiled twice). Amongst these we find Greater and Lesser mysteries.
We know that the lesser mysteries are the fundaments of initiatory culture and they are handed down in the shape of knowledge or esoteric precepts through several teaching formulas.
Little is said, on the contrary, about the Greater Mysteries and it is not clear how they are handed down. In this essay we try to clarify it and to point out what they are referred to. |

| Why Gods return |
|
|
| Until the beginning of the fifteenth century the theological thought was very close to the Western esoteric tradition. During the fifteenth century an epistemological break occurs; theology embraces Aristotelian thought and Scholasticism, cosmology (intended as science of second causes) becomes a prerogative of esoterists of the Renaissance in the Medicean Florence. Theology loses forever its incommensurable heritage of symbols, Mythologems and archetypes. |

| Introduction to esoteric Psychology |
|
|
| We are going to introduce this topic by dividing it into three parts. The first part deals with Elements of esoteric Psychology, followed by a short dissertation on the Science of Rays; finally the enunciation of the main universal Laws.
It would be impossible to develop any further study without this introduction to the terms of the subject.
