Eternal Principles vs Temporal Knowledge: 24 Years of Spiritual Study

I can say that I have been studying these twelve principles for exactly 24 years. In that meeting I cannot say I understood much, but I can say that over time I have noticed some things. For example, I noticed that many things have changed over time. The location where I was in Arezzo closed, then reopened in another location, then closed again and then reopened again. Many of those who were with me at the conference left, while other new friends arrived. Society, for example, was very different: the internet was something new, there were no smartphones, social media didn't exist. At the time I was studying Physics, for example Cosmology, and Cosmology was completely different. We didn't talk about cosmological constant or dark energy, while now it's one of the most important topics and tomorrow it won't be anymore. Particle physics was also completely different: everyone talked about supersymmetries, naturalness of theories, neutrinos still had no mass and string theory was very promising. At the time I was studying Computer Science and the hardware tools were completely different, the programming languages were different, artificial intelligence didn't exist, nor the cloud. Everything has changed. Yet, I noticed, these Twelve Principles have remained unchanged. Not even a point has changed: they are valid today, they were valid twenty-four years ago when I heard them for the first time, but also fifty years ago, when Tommaso Palamidessi wrote them, and even thousands of years ago, and thousands of years from now. This should make us think. So, over time, I thought that there are two types of knowledge. On one hand, knowledge of this world, technical, which has a limited duration: after two or three years it is already outdated, it is born, grows, develops and then, at a certain point, becomes obsolete. On the other hand, there is a Wisdom that does not decay, an eternal knowledge that Saint Paul calls Archeosophia, which has no expiration date, which "the eye has never seen, the ear has never heard" and we can only intuit through the study of these principles, and these writings of Tommaso Palamidessi. Let us now examine what Tommaso Palamidessi says about these principles: "The Principles of Eternal Truth. The magic key with which all the doors of the Temple of glorious immortality are opened consists in the integral knowledge of the following principles and in their practical realization." Here we immediately understand what these principles are for. On one hand, they prepare the mind, form it in such a way as to be able to understand the external world. Understanding the world in a way that is functional to the realization of a spiritual transmutation. We read that these principles must be used as operative keys to reach "glorious Immortality", that is, to obtain possession of the body of glory. Therefore, what is important is to understand that every law has a purpose, we will now see many laws, but these laws have a purpose. For example, the laws of a State serve to maintain the order of the State. The laws of nature serve to allow man, the environment, to evolve to reach a certain state of evolution to be able to make a choice. Well, these principles too, these laws, they too have a purpose. And the purpose is precisely that of spiritual transmutation, that is, in our case, to be able to reach the angelic state. So let's try to analyze them with this perspective. Here then the first principle suggests a first key to proceed in this spiritual transmutation, to open the doors of the Temple of glorious immortality. How do we proceed? First of all, through the acquisition of free will. That is, through knowledge of the law of causality and creation. The law of causality and creation in a sense seem like two aspects of the same law. On one side causality, on the other creation. Now let's see why. What does this law say? This law says that "everything has a cause". There is no effect without cause. Everything we see, everything that exists in the universe, the galaxies, the sun, nature, is all an effect. It is not an absolute cause, but it is an effect, if it is a cause it is a secondary cause. And everything that exists has a law. We are immersed in a mechanism of cause-effect. And what appears to us as chance, random, is simply because it is an unrecognized law. And therefore...
