\nMan alone is capable of communion with God. For to man alone among the living creatures does God speak: at night through dreams, by day through the intellect. And He uses every means to foretell and prefigure the future blessings that will be given to those worthy of Him. ~ Saint Antony the Great<\/strong><\/p>\n

The True is the good of the intellect. ~ Dante<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first stage of [esoterism] is attained when one enters conscious interaction with the beings of the angelic hierarchy. [It] does not involve knowledge of universal laws, but entering conscious interaction with the beings who know the mysteries of birth. The true horoscope will not be reached by a path of calculation but through a path of interaction with suprasensory beings. What angels have imparted to humankind is the horoscope in the true sense. ~ Valentin Tomberg<\/strong>, Meditations on the Old Testament<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Free Will is the Greatest Gift<\/h2>\n

\nThe greatest gift that in his largess God
\nCreating made, and unto his own goodness
\nNearest conformed, and that which he doth prize
\nMost highly, is the freedom of the will,
\nWherewith the creatures of intelligence
\nBoth all and only were and are endowed. ~ Dante<\/strong>, Paradiso<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dante learns an interesting lesson on Mercury: Humanity used free will to fall into sin by Adam\u2019s rejection of the Supreme Good. He took it on himself to know good and evil. and endured the just consequences of what was done freely. He thereby cut humanity off from higher influences, which was then left to its own devices. The two obvious solutions are unworkable.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. One option is for humanity to save itself. That hardly seems possible since no political program, medical procedure, pharmaceutical, eugenic practice, educational technique, etc., has proved efficacious.<\/li>\n
  2. Or else, God could simply pardon Adam, but that would negate the whole point of free will.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A crime demands restitution. In this context, the crucifixion was paradoxically both a just penalty against humanity\u2019s sin and also a crime against Christ.<\/p>\n

    Providence<\/h2>\n

    \nA generated nature its own way
    \nWould always make like its progenitors,
    \nIf Providence divine were not triumphant.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    On Venus, the discussion turned to Providence. Francesco da Buti, who wrote a commentary on the Divine Comedy<\/em> in the 14th<\/sup> century, in which his lists both the negative and positive astrological influences of the planets. Regarding them, he concludes:<\/p>\n

    \nAll are not found in one man, but a part in one, and a part in another, according to Divine Providence; and the wise man adheres to the good, and overcomes the others.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    In other words, the planetary effects do not compel on their own, but all ultimately are subject to Divine Providence. A fortiori, Providence even supersedes genetic and family influences. Otherwise, without being open to higher influences, nothing could change in the world. Moreover, the wise man can pick and choose which influences to follow.<\/p>\n

    Vows<\/h2>\n

    Since free will is the greatest gift to humanity, so a vow, which is the voluntary suspension of free will, is a sacrifice of great worth. The three traditional vows are obedience, poverty, and chastity. Valentin Tomberg describes their esoteric meaning:<\/p>\n
