The Prof. Erminio Di Pisa was a Master Mason: his hypnotic activity and his thought were part of a broader esoteric vision, uniting magnetism, Freemasonry, and spiritual research.
The direct testimony of this commitment is an essay he wrote in English, published on the site The Master's Jewel (an international collection of Masonic essays written by Brothers from around the world): On Esotericism — Bro. Erminio Di Pisa, Italy.
The Essay: Some Thoughts on Esotericism
In the essay Some Thoughts on Esotericism, Di Pisa develops a vision of esotericism as the search for transcendent truth hidden in symbols, allegories, and rites:
- "Esotericism is the search for the transcendent truth that is concealed by symbols, allegories and rites. The esoteric teachings should be delivered only orally – 'from mouth to ear' – to those who have given evidence to be worth to receive, to custody and to treasure them."
- — Bro. Erminio Di Pisa, On Esotericism, The Master's Jewel
Oral transmission — from mouth to ear — is the same logic of the transmission of hypnotic and magnetic techniques that Di Pisa received from Maestro Dante Caravelli and transmitted to Marco Paret: a chain of direct, person-to-person teaching, not mediated by books.
Esotericism and Occultism: Di Pisa's Distinction
Di Pisa distinguishes two currents of occultism:
- "Occultist schools are divided into two main streams: those of 'magic' type, that address their pupils to gain particular powers, by using any means whatsoever, including rites of sorcery and Satanism; and those of religious and philosophical orientation, oriented to the knowledge of the highest truths with the aim to take mankind to the divinity. These latter are of interest of Freemasonry."
- — Bro. Erminio Di Pisa, On Esotericism
Freemasonry belongs to the second current: not the search for magical powers, but the search for truth and spiritual elevation. This perfectly aligns his hypnotic work: not manipulation or control, but the development of personal magnetism as a tool for knowledge and benefit.
The Vision of Man and the Universe
The essay quotes Marcus Aurelius to express the unitary vision of the universe underlying Masonic esotericism:
- "Think steadily to the universe as an unique living creature, that cloaks one sole substance and one sole soul; think that everything is absorbed in a sole sensation of this creature; that everything is done through an unique impetus and that all things are the common cause of everything which is born, and which is their intimate connection."
- — Marcus Aurelius, quoted by Bro. Erminio Di Pisa
This vision of the universe as a single living being is consistent with the concept of common field between operator and subject that Di Pisa transmitted to Marco Paret.
Freemasonry as Initiatory Esotericism
- "The Masonic esotericism, in particular, aims to free man from the limits of the materiality, returning him back to the Eden's condition by means of the meditation on the symbols and of the serious and exact performance of the rituals. Freemasons can gain even higher degrees of knowledge and self consciousness, in order to realize within themselves the corresponding universal condition."
- — Bro. Erminio Di Pisa, On Esotericism
The Masonic path is a path of inner development through progressive degrees of knowledge — exactly like the path of the ISI-CNV courses from the basic level to the Master, from Ipnomentalism to Diamond.
Connection with the Hieratic-Hermetic Methods
Di Pisa's Masonic commitment fits into the broader tradition of the Hieratic-Hermetic Methods of the Method Paret: Atoum, FRAOM, Spiritual Chivalry, internal alchemy. Di Pisa was therefore not only an exceptionally talented hypnotist, but also an initiate who lived his practice as part of a broader esoteric path.
It is no coincidence that Maestro Dante Caravelli, his teacher, was also a medium and a seer: the tradition they both represented united magnetism, hypnosis, and the spiritual dimension into a single corpus.
