But this single reference drives the liberal freemasonry: "Paternalism" - as suggested by the prologue of the trial of Gabriel Bunge about " Spiritual Fatherhood in Evagrius pontic "- is now a pejorative term, since we live in an era without a father (and motherless) held by many as a liberation ...
The second is the esoteric doctrine of Pasqually Martinez, who has come not only from his own pen (the Treaty Reintegration of Beings), but by the teachings and example of two His disciples, Saint Martin and Willermoz. The latter is, without doubt, the great architect of the Reform would lead to the birth of the Rectified Scottish Regime Wilhelmsbad Convent in 1782.
issues presented to us by the doctrine of the RER are deep spiritual responsibility imposed on us, because as expressed Beda, those who will build a Temple first asked that fit their own stone and become, as later in their manuals warn Theophilus build-in Homines quadratic.
few weeks ago I had the opportunity to read, in a Benedictine monastery, a text of St. Ephrem, V century monk, taken from his work The Harp of the Holy Spirit . This text speaks of the inexhaustible source that the Christian finds in the teachings of the Gospel if it persists. Reading it requires some sensitivity, I am sure, find an echo in the hearts of many readers. Here is the text:
Who is able, Lord, to penetrate his mind one of your sentences? As the thirsty drinking supply, much more is what we what we eat. Because the word of God has many different aspects, according to the different ability of the study. The Lord painted with multiple colors his word, that all who study it to see what you like. He hid in his word variety of treasures, so that each one of us could be enriched in any of the points that concentrate their thinking.
The word of God is the tree of life offered by the blessed fruit from any of the sides like that rock that opened in the desert and poured from all sides a spiritual drink. Ate, "says the Apostle, the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink.
He therefore you get to meet some of the treasure of this word does not believe that it is only what he has found, but has to think of the many things in it, that's all has been. Not for the fact that one party has been able to be understood by him, has this word for poor and barren, and despise it, but, considering that it can not encompass it all, give thanks for the wealth it contains. Be glad for what you have achieved, not grieve for what you have left to achieve. The thirsty when baby is happy and not sad because he can not deplete the source. The source has to overcome your faith, but your thirst is not to defeat the source, because if your thirst is quenched without source is exhausted, when you come back you to thirst to drink from it, whereas if to quench your thirst is also the source dried up, your victory will be to the detriment yours.
Give thanks for what you received and do not be sad because of the abundance excess. What we have received and achieved your part, what remains is your inheritance. What, in your weakness, you can not receive in a given moment, you can receive on another occasion, if you persevere. Or force yourself to take greedily sip one which can not be absorbed at once, or you discouraged by laziness of what can go taking little by little.
Up here the text of Ephraem. Christian Masons, unlike those who abhor the "doctrines" and consider them enemies of free thought, we have before us an inexhaustible source of spiritual wisdom we can use over and over again in our time and our capacity. Its essence is clearly stated in our rituals, that "liberals" have inherited and broken into becoming hybrids that retain only skin aging.
know that these texts are the rock of the desert from which flowed a spiritual drink and we are glad that this is inexhaustible. Because our work is to find the wisdom hidden in the stone, find the enclosed shape with the tools that Masonry has given us Is not this the greatest mystery of initiation ?
