Introduction
We represent a circle of students within a Pythagorean and Hermetic tradition, a tradition that constitutes central currents within Western esoteric spirituality. Pythagoras brought together such an Order at Crotona in Magna Graeca (Southern Italy) about 2500 years ago (ca 570-497BC). Within this Order the high principles of the Initiatic tradition have been preserved and handed down to those entrusted with the task of perpetuating its precious wisdom.
In those early times instruction was given orally but today part of the work is made freely available by means of written texts. Today, rapid advancements are being made in science and the arts, philosophy and spiritual unfoldment, just as they were in those early days which introduced Natural Philosophy uniting esoteric knowledge with the visible world of the intellect and the wisdom of the mystery temples of Ancient Egypt.
It is an exciting time that calls upon us to adopt a new attitude of thinking, to expand horizons and prepare ourselves to accept radical lines of investigation using all the powers of our mind. We strive to widen our horizons!
Just as discipline is necessary in the laboratory, so it is in the development of our meditations. The Catharsis of Ancient Greece prepared exercises for this purpose, which all students were expected to explore. Based on a new ethical foundation and way of life, the Order grew in strength and still flourishes today, continuing the tasks quietly and without vain show, celebrating the sacred rites in accordance with the Pythagorean and Hermetic tradition.
We also study ways to improve our work in Meditation, to expand our thinking beyond material limitations and to use meditation as a tool to reach out for further wisdom and truth.
God Bless you all!
