Abstract: The long history of the European, Mediterranean, and Near Eastern religious experience, since the most remote ages, has been characterized by the presence and diffusion of mystery religions. These were marked by a common order, a general rule, consisting in the fact that all the beliefs of the cult, the foundational myths, the religious practices, and the nature of the teachings and the revelatory message of the Gods, they all had to be reserved, with different ranks, to the initiates, who have become part of an exclusive community of new men. Thus, the initiated were distinguished from the uninitiated, those who could not have access to the Mysteries. The initiated, as such, had to keep a solemn oath and were obliged to make a vow of silence, they could not reveal the secrets, which had to remain unspeakable. Many were the mystery religions, but, historically, the primacy and superiority of Eleusinian Mysteries can be well summarized by a passage offered by Plutarch: «…and all the men whose land he visited, how he met with holy writings and was initiated into all the mysteries, it would take more than one day to enumerate as he did, well and carefully in all details...».

#323907 Filosofia
Traduzione in inglese di Umberto Visani. Prato, Aurora Boreale ed. 2024, cm.15x21, pp.98, brossura copertina figurata a colori. Coll.Telesterion. English text. What exactly is ecstasy (from the Greek ??stas??, literally "being outside"), that psychic state of suspension and mystical elevation of the mind, which is perceived by those who experience it intensely as "estranged" from the body? What are its links with Philosophy (to be understood as Sacred Knowledge or as love for Divine Wisdom) and above all with mystical death and the initiatory experience of the ancient Mysteries? What is thought and how to control it to rise to higher levels of consciousness? All the great initiatory schools of the past taught that one must die and be reborn in order to then ascend. But can this ascension be comparable to Philosophical Ecstasy? Great philosophers of antiquity, from Plotinus to Porphyry, spoke to us about the experience of Philosophical Ecstasy as a reunion with the Absolute, with the Supreme End. And what if it also and above all involved a full connection with the Anima Mundi or with the Akashic Records? From Giordano Bruno to Tommaso Campanella, up to Arturo Reghini and Amedeo Rocco Armentano, some authentic Initiates have attempted to answer these questions.

#257768 Storia Antica
Firenze, Aurora Boreale 2018, cm.14,8x21, pp.160, illustrazioni in bianco e nero. brossura copertina figurata a colori. Collana Telestérion. In una giornata di Marzo di milleseicentotre anni or sono, ad Alessandria d'Egitto, un'orda di monaci fanatici istigati dal Patriarca Cirillo violentava, uccideva e faceva letteralmente a pezzi una donna, Ipazia, una stimata filosofa e scienziata, ma soprattutto una grande Iniziata. Sia gli esecutori che i mandanti di questo efferato delitto restarono di fatto impuniti, perché ormai già da tempo, sia in Egitto che nelle altre province dell'Impero Romano, il vento era cambiato ed era stata imposta quale unico culto legittimo e riconosciuto una nuova religione costruita ad arte per soddisfare un preciso disegno di dominio e di controllo sociale. Ipazia ebbe il destino di vivere proprio in questa terribile congiuntura storica. Ella certamente era in grado di comprendere la drammatica deriva sociale alla quale stava assistendo ed operava incessantemente, con i suoi insegnamenti, per la liberazione dell'umanità dalle proprie catene. Rappresentava un fascio di luce capace di squarciare le tenebre dell'oscurantismo, del dogmatismo e dell'ignoranza e insegnava la Consapevolezza. Per questo faceva tanta paura ai burattinai del "sistema" e andava a tutti i costi fatta tacere per sempre.
