Urartu Lodge imprimir
 
The Urartu Lodge seeks to find in the Hermetism an integral way in which science and conscience go together, and it finds in the Templars knights Order an knightly ideal in which strength and wisdom are applied for an ethical and moral formation, capable of perform the task of the reconciliation among hermetic wisdom, the last scientific advances and a human being based on the dignity provided by the knowledge applied to the virtue.
How the Urartu Lodge was created?. Searching in its origins and foundations it is possible to see a unity in the contradiction. We are a constant conflict between our Armenian origin and the Masonic universalistic principle that we announce. Because of that, some mason brothers with Armenian origin, but with Universalistic soul and thinking, under the motto “to seek the supreme wisdom of love in the love to wisdom”, decided to begin a new path with a basic principle which is the search of the wisdom for the joy of the spirit.
To be a Mason means to be worker of yourself and of the divine that it is in you. Based on that, we reconcile the esoteric and the scientific in our searching. We think that the conquest of the external space is at the same time a re-conquest of the internal space.
For many people the science opposes to the Magic, but it is not its destiny to become a Super Magic? Will not it give us the keys of the communication between the internal and the external infinite?
What is below is like what is above. The ancient hermetic philosophy reborn in the extreme modernity. It is necessary just to have enough spiritual sensibility to see this reborn. The science is becoming Gnosis again.
Urartu believes that one can be spiritualist and to be in favor of progress, knowledge and the technique. That is the reason why it seeks a Promethean way, not expecting anything that does not come up from us. The ancient man thought that the soul is not a data, but it can be acquired by exercising the virtue. The ancient man was right. As there is no love without will to love, there is no interior guide without the will to have an interior guide. The ancient man put in the first place the civic virtues, the strong character and the ability to have inside us something that is worth our own secret. An intimate Nobleness. Let’s say that mysterious, unreachable, indestructible thing:
¡¡¡QUALITY!!!
We all have a seed of soul, but not all make it germinate. There are very few men for whom to make that seed to germinate is all. The men of soul are artisans of eternity. Because of that, the masons are artisans and workers of ourselves and of the divine that it is in us.
In such perspective it would be necessary to do a little of history about the resistant ideas.
The Renaissance, for example, is a privilege moment of the resistance. The history of the Hermetism and the history of the science appear as what they are: the contra-stream of the past that exhausts, the stream of the future that flows. The interfered message of the ancient and future gods calling for resistance. The eternity is nothing but the perfect possession of itself in one unique instant.
Urartu has a sense of the sacred and an idea of the wisdom, which is the same. It is also interested in the mystic states, because they reveal unsuspected effects of the spirit in the body. We believe that a sharp physiology of the mystic states would help to discover the possibilities of the brain, because we conceive the human brain as a model of the universe, inside which there is everything that can be known.
The SCIENCE conquers the external space, and the science will complete the conquest of the internal space too. Therefore, through the science we will move from the Magic to the Gnosis.
That is the reason why we oppose to the ignorance, the superstition and the evasive mentalities. They never were good conductors of the Hermetism as we understand it.
The Hermetic is discovered by a sharp look, not by an astray look.
The wonderful of our time is in the extension of three old questions:
Where do we come from?
Who are we?
Where do we go?
It is in the brusque and considerable development of the anthropology, biology and astrophysics. It is extraordinary to verify that our contemporaneous have shorter looks each time, while the eye of the humanity perceives wider things each time. It is extraordinary that the human conscience becomes infinite, while the individual consciences reduce themselves.
While the spirit of the man dwarf itself to the smallest dimension of the existence, the human spirit discovers the unlimited ocean of the human history, arrives to the edge of the mysteries of life and energy, explores in the brain the most complex structure that can be decoded inside the solar system, questions the galaxies and takes off to the cosmos. The human adventure had never deployed so widely.
In our Lodge we proclaim an Aristocracy in the Aristotelian meaning of the word. We seek to be the betters in freedom. We take the definition of Aristocracy in the sublime sentence of Blanc de Saint Bonnet:
“ THE LIBERTY, THAT POWER TO BE CAUSE, THAT ABILITY OF THE MERIT”
The aristocratic sense is the sense of DISTICTION. By this, we mean the ability to differentiate the beings in their diversity and the disparity of their value. Aristocrat is who guide himself based on certain idea about the Quality of the Man, who celebrates the beauty, the strength, the energy, the will, the POWER TO BUILD HIMSELF, the power to make a pact of no aggression with life and a pact of domain with the cosmos.
The ARISTOCRACISM has produced all type of knights’ orders. That is the base of our affinity with the Templars, because we believe that to have a model to emulate is to posses an interior civilization. That’s why we are a Hermetic Lodge proudly defined like that.
Our mission is to find the truth as a guide or as a rule for action, as the criteria that adjust it and rectify it, so the same truth, once recognized and acquired, expresses itself in inspirational ideal of a worthy work, in fecund and useful activity, in a beautiful work that satisfies the mind and the heart at the same time. THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF URARTU, as Lodge and as Initiatic Philosophy that is obtained and practiced to elevate, ennoble and purify the action, adding virtue and power.
The Meritocracy of the knowledge unites us, and we hope we will be able to be example of Dignity and pleasant home of Hermetic Wisdom.
