Note 0.1 Word and Silence

The few lines that follow are intended to prepare for a larger work. Right now, there is no will but accidental to investigate the idea of ​​Word and Silence in Freemasonry, but starting to groped to frame the issue in a larger space and with a critical eye. For example the following lines, and the speech he will want to address the non-use of the word word in context "initiatory esoteric" and still in those valleys where the intellect goes toward being. Being for the moment is intentionally tiny as it is premature to interface with the BE.

Vocabulary Treccani: S word. f. [Lat. Late parable (v. Parabola1), lat. Pop. * Paraula; the evolution of sign. From "parable" to "speech, word" is already in the Vulgate, as the parables of Jesus are divine words par excellence]. 1. A complex of phonemes, that is, of articulated sounds, or even single phoneme (and its transcription into graphic signs), by which man expresses a general concept, which is precise and determines in the context of a sentence.

If we put aside for a moment the definition we see that the word is relatively young and retains its vitality in the parable, in fact, originally this was the sense, that is, teaching and by extension over the centuries and become the word that in itself It is insufficient in itself as it needs no other words to make complete and expressed a thought.

A synonym of the word, no longer in use, but the strategic purpose of this speech is verb. Especially if we take the meanings that it refers not so much to the grammar, which has little interest in this trip, but the verb is understood as Verbum or better as Logos. For now we take the Logos as Logos and not disperse energy in the difference there might be between that of Heraclitus and the Johannine. The say, the already not express any thought, but being have to be bound to a form of expression based on the Logos. This say, comes from thinking that is twofold. First being that folds on itself descending into his inner (vitriol) before ascending and secondly the being that is reflected and reflects what it is and that can not be otherwise. This is one of the reasons, if not the reason why the schools of initiation was and is the silence imposed on newcomers. They can not even break away from matter (metals) and connect them to be the Logos, are engaged in re-flectere and that struere, of which I have said elsewhere, that engages them in the process of destruction even before construction.
