Some concrete examples can be of aid in order to clear the difference between the iniziatica philosophy and the academic culture that is then that official.

As an example, in the work "First Alcibiade" of Platone, Socrate asserts some important things a lot relatively to the famous principle ""KNOW THYSELF", written on one column of the tempio of Delfi:

Socrate in the dialogue with brought back Alcibiade over asserts one extraordinary what: in order to govern a collectivity well it is necessary to know if same and that is the divine side that is in everyone of we!

The academic, regarding this important affirmation, leverà the essential thing in how much will be limited to make, etimologiche analysis, comparazioni with other authors esegetiche or philosophies... will not think to comprise with the spirit and with the spirit that is, with the exception of R-he who search the iniziatica understanding, will not try to experiment and to verify in the own feelings, thoughts and behaviors, the acquaintance of the divine one to which Platone alludes.

It observes O.M.Aivanhov, we take a fruit, an orange, as an example: one what is to measure of the dimensions, the weight, to study of the colors, other thing is to taste it, to eat it, assoporarla, to feel of the force that it transmits. The outer, intellectual acquaintance firm to the outer study of the orange but never does not arrive itself to knowing as it is effectively the orange because she forgets to eat it.

"Imagined that a man finds to the inside of one sphere and an other to its outside. C$r-he who is found to the inside, naturally sees it concave, while R-he who is to the outside, convex. The two discuss and they come to blows: it is impossible to put them of agreement. We interpret hour this image. C$r-he who is to the inside of the sphere is the heart; it observes the life from within, subjective, that is through l ' emotion, the feeling and the feeling. C$r-he who is to the outside, is the intelletto that it observes the things from outside, objective, rationally. For this between heart and intelletto, or religion and science interminable arguments and secular crashs continue to endure. Who says the true one? All and two, but everyone to the fifty for hundreds. If hour arrived a third observer who said: "the sphere is is concave that convex", the first two, to this point, they would be worried and they would consider it a foolish one. In truth, this last one is a test that the truth in its interezza contemplates. It represents the intuition that has the ability to re-unite thought and feeling in order at the same time to see the things from the inside and the outside. For he knows the true truth of the things, at the same time must be objective and subjective, porsi at the same time to the inside and the esterno"(from "Daily meditations 2001).

Also the man of the road, induced from the official culture to living separated from just "advanced himself" will not think normal school to know and living the divine one and nobody will think normal school that the political man must complete, in preventive way, a spiritual distance (cfr. cp.VIII in the volume The Egregor of the Dove or the Reign of Peace)in the sense indicated from Plato. Nevertheless Plato is placed in the programs drained to us and tutt' hour at a distance of centuries is admiration and study object

How much as soon as found it can be extended to other fundamental ideas, a lot notes to the western culture, expressed from Platone on the love and the sexuality, the spirit and the reincarnation (trasmigration of the spirits).

But this Knowledge (to the same one stregua of the Values expressed from other great personages of the humanity) therefore largely appreciated has been scisso from the inner life, it has fed exclusively a type of outer, intellectual acquaintance which, meant well, is necessary and natural but not exaustive. And the fundamental point is this: not to stop to the outer acquaintance (cfr.cp.I "Human Evolution and the Development of the Spiritual Organs in "Man's Subtle Bodies and Centers: (Aura, Solar Plexus, Hara Center, Chakras ; cp VIII " Outer Knowledge and Inner Knowledge in Man's Psychic Life: Elements and Structures)

It comes to think next to the relation elapsing between the western philosophy and that one orients them regarding which it has been asserted: "With a sure schematismo it could be observed that in our history of the philosophy thinkers disposed do not find themselves occasionally that translate in practical the their principles. In order to use a metaphor they plan sontuosi buildings, in order then living in fatiscenti catapecchie. The Indian philosophers, to the contrary, exhibit one perfect correspondence between theory or praxis, that is acquaintance and action. Their primary scope is the realization of sè."(Arena in the philosophy Indiana - Tascabli Newton-pag.9)

It appears paradoxical, effectively, than they are estimated remarkablly Knows to you, artists and geniuses and at the same time do not get a deeper knowledge to level of inner life those values of which the same ones they are bearers.

The spirit and the spirit essential members of our being, are not often touch to you and influence you from the academic cultures, while they are places to the center of the initiatic philosophy.

This separation between intellectual acquaintance on one side and the life of the own spirit, just the spirit and the conduct of life from the other, generates great suffering in the individual and has characterized, unfortunately, in the West, in negative, also the understanding and the adhesion to the Truth of Gospels (with the expression "Church of John ", in contrast to the Church of Peter, evidences the true initiatic Instruction of the Gospels:cfr. cp XII "The esoteric Church of saint John" in The Fruits of the Tree of Life (The Kabbalistic Tradition).

Because of this attitude the man is found again to have developed in disarmonioso way the scapito intellectual side to of the own inner resources connected instead to the spirit and to the spirit and it is found therefore vulnerable regarding the difficulties of the life and to its illusory aspects effemiri and.

It always better knows under the outer profile the objective truth, the outer earth and less and less the inner earth regarding which it would have to be symbolically the King.

This intellettualistico approach can obviously regard also the same iniziatica philosophy if it is forgotten that "l' esoterismo remains a lifestyle in the first place, an education of the look that allows to notice the ineffabile presence of the Sacred one in the daily paper" ( M.Mirabail in "Dictionary of the esoterismo" pag.118 and segg. - Oscar Mondadori).

Aivanhov to such purpose remembers that the actions of the daily life, point of departure of the improvement way characterizes them, is to the base of the true spiritualità.

"Sure sciences which the alchemy, the magic, the astrology and the Cabala, since penetrate in depth the great mysteries of the creation, can help us to be left over more quickly on the way of the evolution. But these sciences are of difficult approach and in order to understand them are advisable well to begin to study them in the man, in its daily activities. In fact in the food we find the alchemy, in the respiration the astrology, the word and the gesture the magic and the thought the Cabala. It does not have to try to study esoteric Science separating it from the life. Learned therefore to eat, to breathe, to act, to speak, to think and you will come therefore to possess the bases of these four fundamental sciences."

"For too many persons the spiritualità consists in reading esoterismo books. They do not comprise any very, cannot makes us null, because not draft that of theories - and theories not always exact or quite conflicting - in which is not found again, but that what imports? They continue to stuff itself of such readings. When they will comprise that the spiritualità consists in choosing a method, in studying it well and in putting it in practical? Since the single thing that it counts truly is the life, the divine life that the man must living, is she that it will bring all the acquaintances of the sky and the earth. he who is pleased to read of the books, loses its time; even if he is able of esporne perfectly the content, the others feel perfectly that behind this exposure there is the empty one, since do not transmit some love, some light, some deep understanding. The acquaintances are in practical useless if they are not vivificate from the love and the light. The love and the light are not obtained reading, but applying to every day the rules of initiatica Science ".

The philosophical search did not contemplate in the past the own division of the western culture to which we have before pointed out. In fact, Giamblico asserted, in "the life pitagorica"(cap, XII, 58-59)"says that Pytagoras has been the first one to call if same philosopher, not limiting themselves to introduce this new name, but explaining of the meant effective... The Wisdom is a real one to know around to the Beautiful one, the First one and Divine the always identical ones to if same, of which the other things they participate. The philosophy is instead desire of such speculative contemplation. Beautiful it is therefore also this inner effort of spiritual formation, than for Pytagoras it contributes to the purification of the men ".

Not to case, Pytagoras, like other Greeks, had been in India and had learned important acquaintances. .

Schopenhauer writes (cfr.www.estovest.org/tradizione/shopenhauer)"According to Apuleio, Pytagoras would be quite reached until in India, and would have been instructd from the same brahmani. Consequently, I believe that the philosophy and the acquaintance of Pytagoras, sure highly appreciable, are not consistite as well as in that he have thought, how much in that it has learned." (Fragments on the history of the philosophy, 2, in Parerga and paralipomena). Schopenhauer will still write, on purpose of the travels in India of the philosophers its contemporaries "You went there as masters and you returned some like disciples of the concealed sense. Here the sails fell for you "(On ethics, in Parerga and paralipomena, VIII, 115)

The philosophical search was not academic knowledge, but destined iniziatica search but not to all. This limited destination did not lead back to a proud or aristocratic character of the iniziatico knowledge but to the various receptivity of the persons due to the various evolutionary degree, in how much various is the experiences characterizes them liberations lived in the cycle of the reincarnations. In reason of that, S. Paul in addressing to its disciples to the aim to explain that some things could not are revealed, used the famous metaphor on foods liquids assigns to the children and on solid foods it assigns you to the adults.

"When they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted"(John VI,12).

"When he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.He said to them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those outside, everything is in parables (Mark, 4-10).

"He did not speak to them without a parable. But privately he explained everything to his own disciples.. (Mark, 4-34).

"Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and turn around and tear you to pieces. (Matthew 7, 6).

" On this topic we have much to say and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish in hearing. For though you should in fact be teachers by this time, you need someone to teach you the beginning elements of God’s utterances. You have gone back to needing milk, not solid food. For everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced in the message of righteousness, because he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil. ( S.Paul, Hebrews).

"Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing. Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood it. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him.” (S. Paul , Corinthians 2-6).

Plato spoke about philosophy transmitted from the dèi, of ancient tradition, of ancient doctrine "it always must believe to these saints and ancient doctrines". This doctrine is distinguished from the destined philosophy to "does not begin" (Teeteto,155) to "the sons of the Earth" (Sofista, 247) which support obstinately that all that that that they are not in a position to tightening between the hands in the end does not exist absolutely ". Instead, the philosophy transmitted from the dèi addresses to begins to you, to the Friends of the Ideas, little persons (Political, 297; Republic IV 428). "A God in person making this gift has made also our salvation us" (Epinomis 977).

Eraclito writes "To they is turned the instruction of the Efesio, not to the other men, than they are not animated from desire to know the truth, of which they do not comprise the value and the meant one, indifferent and unconscious, nearly dormienti. To the other men the things escape that make when they are arouses, as they do not know how much complete".

In the Mystical Theology, Dionigi Areopagita writes "Attends to that nobody of does not begin listenings to you: I refer those who remain captive of the truths, that they think that null exists in sovraessenziale way to the disopra of the beings, that they think to know with their science R-he who "has made of the darkness its hiding place" [ Knows 17,12 ] to me. If the divine initiations go to here of the abilities to costoro, than what it would have to be said on purpose of those who are still less begins to you, that they define the important cause of all also for means of the lower beings, and that they say that it is not at all advanced to fills up and varied raffigurazioni forged from they?

"One sure religious philosophy nacque mirabilmente the Concorde between the Persians and with Ermete between the Egizi; it was fed then with Orfeo and Aglaofemo near the Thracians in order to grow endured with Pitagora between the Greeks and the Italici and to reach finally fulfillment in Atene with Plato. It was custom of the antichi teologi to hide the divine mysteries under mathematical formulas and poetiche metaphors, because they did not come diffuse to I turn "(Ficino in the introduction to The Enneads by Plotinus).

There is therefore an ancient doctrine, an ancient knowledge that has not never abbondanato the man sin from the origins that have permeated with various manifestations all the people and all the religions. To this original knowledge it reaches the initiatic philosophy, and also the Teaching of Gospels, and to this same knowledge the Teaching of Peter Deunov and O.M.Aivanhov is led back.

Also S.Augustine recognizes the existence of this ancient one to know. It asserts in the Retractationes (cp.13.3): Also I have said: This is, to our times, the Christian religion knowing and following which obtains the salvation with the maximum of emergency and certainty. They are expressed me therefore, making reference the name and to the truth ch' it does not designate. In effects that one that hour takes the name of Christian religion, existed already in ancient and it was not absent not even to the of the sort human origin, until came Christ in the meat. It was then that the true religion, than already existed, began to being called Christian. When, after the risurrezione and the ascension in sky, the Apostles began to preach believing to the very many Christ and divennero, it was to Antiochia that for before the time, like is written, its disciples was calls to you "Christian". For this I have said: This is to our times the Christian religion, not because a time did not exist, but because later taken this name.

The caretaker of this divine knowledge, of this ànchor of salvation for the man, is the Order of Melchizedec manifestation of the Spirit of the Christ, whose role is evidenced in Gospels, the Genesis and letters of S.Paul, and in the Revelation, let alone, under various name, in other great religions. It is the guarantor of the continuity of this Knowledge, this divine philosophy in all the times and can carry out this role in how much, like emphasizes S.Paul, He " is without father, mother, genealogia, principle of fine days neither of life, fact similar to the Son of God and remains clergyman in eternal ". For such reasons he is the Master of all the Masters. To its Order in fact the same Jesus belonged.

The initiatic philosophy for many centuries has operated with great confidentiality, addressing to little and inspiring great Masters, Knows to you, geniuses. Not rare times, as it is famous to all, its supporters have been also pursued to you.

The disciple had to observe in the past a fundamental garnishment "Sapere-Volere-Osare-Tacere". The famous initiations happened in the templi or particular places.

In the contemporary age, the iniziatica science that is always the instruction of the Universal Fratellanza White woman, with the work, above all, of Peter Deunov and O. M. Aïvanhov,reappears in a shape new with new methods ( A New Earth - Methods, Exercises, Formulas, Prayers) but adherent to the Principles that have found the maximum manifestation in Gospels.

The initiatic philosophy to leave from the contemporary age explicitly addresses to all the humanity, uses an obvious language and offers an arm fraternal to all, transmitting to methods and rules adapted to all (cp.I of The Splendours of Tipharet), but adherent to the Principles that have found the maximum manifestation in Gospels. .

Sigla dell'Insegnamento di P.Deunov e d'O.M. Aïvanhov

It asserts O.M.Aïvanhov the nfatti ones that "the aim of a iniziatico instruction is that one to teach to the human beings like returning towards the house of the Father," the high mentioned shelter "in Salmo 91: "My shelter and my fortress, my God in which confido". Once joints in that fortress are felt to the sure one, and the forces of the evil they will not be able more to come to surprise them. One would say instead that the men make of all in order going away from that high shelter in which they could dwell under protection of God Want living their life going away from the Getlteman and transgressing its laws. Well, that test that they will have to still suffer very because they do not want to enter in the divine light, where they would be protect. Yes, they have the tendency to go away, to disobbedire, simply because it is written in their destiny that must suffer, while those who already has suffered a lot and has understood, makes of all in order returning near the celestial Father and the Mother ".

And it is also important to emphasize that "To our days the tests of the initiation, do not have more place in the templi, but in the life. E' in the life every day that the tests of the four elements must be crossed, that they are the tests of the matter. When the man was hunted from the Paradise in order to have disobbedito to the Getlteman, lost the power that he had on the matter, of which the four elements they are the symbolic rappresentazione and in order to find again it must learn to dominate to the psychical body (the earth) the feelings (the water) the thoughts (the air) and to dominate to the sexual force (the fire).

« Man was built by Cosmic Intelligence in such a way that he can fulfil himself and attain his full stature only by maintaining ties with a higher world from which he receives light and strength. When human beings rely exclusively on their own limited intellect they deprive themselves of true understanding, and it is this lack that is the cause of all their disastrous mistakes. When men are motivated only by a lust for material possessions and power and act in total disregard for the plans of Cosmic Intelligence, they stir up layers of the physical and psychic atmosphere and arouse formidable forces whose fury is turned against them. The Age of Aquarius will soon be upon us and the tremendous upheavals accompanying it will oblige human beings to understand the reality of the invisible world and the laws that govern it. But the beauty, splendour and harmony of the new life that will emerge from these upheavals will be beyond anything imagined by man. All those who have been secretly working for the coming of the Kingdom of God throughout the world will join forces and work together, and the bastions of ignorance, materialism and despotism will crumble and collapse. This I tell you. And it will be: nothing can prevent the coming of the new era, the new Golden Age.» (Aquarius, Herald of the Golden Age)

Also the man has observed itself "Today wants to know and to not only believe... a God far away from the man why placed in the highest skies, wrapped in the mystery, from the unforeseeable behavior and a religion supported from dogmas, they are little congenital to the mentality of the western man whom it wants to know it in dynamics of its manifestation for being able it living in the deep one of its heart" (in "Jesus is the reiincarnazione of Abramo - Parsifal - the age of the Aquarius).

Aïvanhov will still say: "Only Archangel Michael is in a position to winning... with the aid of its army, will realize that that gives to centuries the multitudes demandent from the Creator. Here why we must be connected to the Archangel Michael, chiedergli its protection and the possibility to operate with he in order to increase its Victoria. The light will prevail on the darknesses: it has been foretold and therefore will be. Why not to participate to that event? The sons of God who will be enrolled in the number of those who will have participated to the combat of the Archangel Michele, the Genius of the Sun, this power of God between most luminous, will receive the kiss of the Angel of the fire. Such kiss will not burn them but it will illuminate them!".

Also Rudolf Steiner in numerous conferences (The Archangel Michael: His Mission and Ours : Selected Lectures and Writing by Rudolf Steiner) is stopped on the new spiritual cycle (of the Michael Age) " Michael cannot fulfill his mission without humanity's cosmic vocation of freedom, individuality, and love. Human beings, too, depend on Michael for the fulfillment of their task . . . His great joy is helping those who of their own free deed enter the ranks of those collaborating in the great work of the invisible".
