Domizio Cipriani Grand Magistral Prior of Monaco of the Order of Knights Templar of Jerusalem Principality of Monaco 6 PREFACE The Grand Magistral Prior to the Principality of Monaco of Order of Knights Templar of Jerusalem, lent me one of his books which reflects its research and thoughts. I was surprised to see that all key topics have been dealt with, even those concerning the Knights Templar’s peace, in all their aspects. It is true that the seal “graal l’abraxas” (in Gnostic cosmology, Abraxas is the name of the highest God, which is the unborn Father) and the Gnostic character of the Order’s hierarchy. Christianity in all his knowledge claims, as stated by our Lord Je- sus Christ: “The Kingdom of Heaven is for each of you, nothing else is to be found because it is clear that the rest will be given through faith.” This Holy Grail, which is the revelation of the awakening, the Or- der of the Knights Templar the door in its essence, having regards to the awakening formula and the content of the traditional investiture ritual: Awake, brave knight! The Knights Templar were custodians of other initiatory tradi- tions, a crossroads of cultures, the Knights Templar attended erudite and scholars coming from other civilizations. The Grand Prior Domizio also interested in a more occult aspect, which revolves around the Notre Dame currents, Mary of Magdala, currents that lead to subsidiaries of all the aristocratic families of the Holy Grail and certain organizations that perpetuate this tradition. No one doubts that the current Order brothers will, in this testi- mony of a committed Knight Templar, subjects on which to reflect. This book will incite the Knights Templar of the Order to deepen the subjects evoked. It will also be an indispensable manual for novices who want to be integrated on a little-known path. 7 Congratulations to the Grand Prior Domizio Cipriani for having made his research available to the general public.

Therefore, the Magnus Priory of Monte Carlo in the Principality of Monaco represents the spearhead for a wise evolution at inter- national level and Domizio, as the Grand Prior is the best and an unquestionable choice, being the continuation of the Knights Tem- plar of the new and renewed masonry G.L.U.D.I.I. who works in the assistance to help the neediest. Let us always remember that in life there is always a moment… and it’s why every morning when we get up, we must thank the Lord for giving us a new moment… Ezio Giunchiglia The author of book “The Art of Human Balance” **** The Grand Prior of the Principality of Monaco Sovereign Military Order of the Knights Templar of Jerusalem, Domizio Cipriani, in his illuminated elaborate, full of concepts and profound reflections, takes the reader through all the roads indicated by the author, which he had experimented, leading to develop the enormous potential that every human being already possesses but mostly ignores. Huge potential that, through understanding, mercy, sympathy, and above all the will- ingness to help others, you can develop true wisdom and the close harmony to such a degree as to reach the human being that exists between the universe and everything that which it is part.

I thought to make a presentation a bit “special” because you already had far more prominent. Only when the knowledge, the judgement, are transformed into wisdom, we can really consider enlighten our way. As humans, we cannot face life without self-awareness that give us the true motives that otherwise would not be possible. Wisdom is like a backpack, we carry on our journey, from which we can extract information that our earthly passage cannot be limited to things that are here today and tomorrow may be no more: beauty, health, money, power. If these are the goals, we will never understand what sadistic supernatural force might estrange them any moment. Only if these goals are used in the right way, they take on a specific meaning. “I was not made to live like beasts, but to follow virtue and knowl- edge” states, in The Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto XXVI by Dante Alighieri, started, by using the figure of Odysseus, the deceiver… “For my part, I will find me well in Hell to quibble about philoso- phy with the most important thinkers of Humanity” says William of Baskerville in the “Name of the Rose” by Umberto Eco. The virtue of these is understood as courage to explore, to reveal, to bring to light, true knowledge. The Philosophy, The Occult History, The Mythology, are full of examples where Man has challenged himself and his fears to arrive at a knowledge that then is the real power. In this beautiful text by Domizio Cipriani, the author instructs “those who have ears to hear” a road to the explanation of things that appear, to those who fear, or unexplained or attributable to dogmas or magic formulas, both unworthy of Man as Unity synthesis. Dr. Auro Capone Psychologist weapon Author of the books: “Barabbas and Non nobis” Grand Master of the Templar Order of St. John 10 **** I really appreciated this little book, a true manual of modern Tem- plar, where Domizio Cipriani, Grand Prior of the Principality of Mo- naco of OSMTH, gathered his research and thoughts. He has brought together several themes into a coherent ensemble without losing sight of the humanitarian aspect of the Knight Templar wisdom. A true contemporary Knight Templar, basically managed to board all the current issues of the saga “this poor knights of Christ”. Each chapter is a research base for all readers who want to pen- etrate more deeply into the still secret roots of this Knights brother- hood so mysteriously vanished, but our friend Domizio nudge’s open the doors. Congratulations to our Grand Prior for the awakening wis- dom, as our induction ritual proclaims: wake-up valiant Knight!

A heartfelt thanks to my friend Franco, accountant and writer by mission, author of several publications about the Knights Templar, who knew how to motivate me in this adventure and to the knight sister Lana, who was able to get my attention giving me a book, from which it is born all this.
