BOP: "From the ethereal heights of the ideal, the constructive aspirant is thrown headlong into the land of action. (The test of the first symbolic journey.) It is the battlefield of life. Here swords cross. But the aspiring Initiate does not involve himself in the pointless battles of opinions and sides: he reserves his energy in order to be able to apply it in the shaping of the 'Cubic Stone'."[1]
