How do we feel about AMORC symbol as a bumper sticker? Considering there is facebook groups regarding our group do we see car stickers as an issue?

Hey, I'm affiliated with AMORC.

I've been studying and practicing for over a year now. I'm 31, and live north of Toronto, ON, Canada.

It would be nice to have friends with the same interests and passions.

I am honestly so elated. I have been a member since 2022, but I only recently got started on my studies with AMORC. I reached out to them, and they said not to dress too casual, and to bring my card and proof of up to date dues.

Aside from that, what should I expect? Additionally, will there be any sort of materials I can purchase while there? I know agarthabooks sells them, but I’d like to have access to them there.

I am a member of AMORC and I just wanted to see what other’s approaches are to developing psychically and what works for you. Also, what are your views on developing psychically? Is it important? What is its use?

Hi all, I am about 17 months into AMORC and stumbled onto the Gateway experience.I tried those available on Apple Music and Definitely could fell the difference from other meditative practices, had some really excellent and some really unpleasant experiences , so I am kinda hesitant to continue and feeling the vibe that non human entities may have nefarious involvements here. I have been developing my intuition and last night when I was thinking about doing Gateway, looked down and saw one of my wife’s cosmetics branded “EVIL” . Taking this as potentially being a sign for the Cosmic, I deferred for now. I began this journey hoping to be able to make better life choices, and was hoping to connect to my higher self. Asking for guidance: What are your personal experiences with gateway?

on a separate note, is Rosicrucianism (in general) guiding me toward other non human entities ?

Any masons here or former masons who can tell abiding by your secrets the main differences.

Thomas Troward wrote: "Probably ninety‑nine out of a hundred readers will say, the whole experience of mankind from the earliest ages proves that Death is the unchangeable Law of the Universe, and there have been no exceptions. I am not quite sure that I should altogether agree with them on this last point;..." While the about info about Dion Fortune's book (not Dion Fortune herself though) Through the Gates of Death says: "This clear, concise guide explains the stages in the natural process of dying that every soul passes through from this world to the next." So Rosicrucians, is physical death avoidable?

The anime show Saiki K is obviously extremely exagurated, but it makes me think of it. Sorry for my writing, english is not my native language.

I am curious as to whether any of you have made cloth covering for columns next to officers’ chairs? Our columns are 13.5 square on top and 32 inches high. Square and circle clothes leave too much extra fabric from the diagonal of the corners. I am thinking of stitching together two 14 inch runners in the shape of an “x” to drape over the sides of the column. Has anyone tried this? Or do you have a better solution?

We use 45” altar clothes as a topper (from Azoth).

I am looking for the Rosicrucian chart which shows which key signatures correspond to the elements fire water air earth etc.

First off, I'm a Catholic, not a Rosicrucian but I am interested in Rosicrucianism from a scholarly standpoint. I haven't read any Rosicrucian or esoteric texts.

So here is my big question: How does Jesus fit into Rosicrucianism? According to some Google searches, it doesn't believe in the virgin conception of Jesus, nor the Trinity, and apparently not the death and resurrection (But sources seem to contradict this).

And also, why? If the Bible tells us that Jesus was resurrected, the son of God, and born of the Virgin Mary, as Christians, wouldn't we believe that this is true?

Since there are books that give you a certain order to study certain knowledge of the GD, such as Lyam Thomas Christopher or Israel Regardie, I would like to know if there are similar books that help you study the minor mysteries and the major mysteries (I think another way of saying it is the mysterios that are normally associated with those studied by Rosicrucians and Freemasons)

The Eyes of a Mystic

The July 1963 issue of the Rosicrucian Digest included an article by Imperator Emeritus H. Spencer Lewis entitled “The Eyes of a Mystic.” We will follow up on that article on this intriguing subject that we have all worked to deeply fathom. We will consider the conveyances that appear to come to us when we look into the eyes and how these intimations help us in entering Cosmic Communion and in learning the lessons of life. Join Hugh McCague as we continue to explore Rosicrucian laws and principles and their creative expression and application for the mastery of life, harmonious living, and service.

I have read several old threads about black mirrors. Does any have or know where I can find the original instructions/monographs of AMORC in their use?

Hi I live in Canada and due to Canada Posts having been on strike for a while and now them being late, I haven't received the past 8 AMORC monographs I was supposed to.

What should I do? I feel like I'm too behind, I should be on the 4th degree now. Is it ok to do 2 monographs for a while when I do receive them?

I understand that AMORC was founded by H. Spencer Lewis in the early 1900s, and if Im correct is viewed as the official current Rosicrucian order, so Im curious what the original rosicrucians were, when they were founded, and what it was that people like Francis Bacon and Dr John Dalton were apart of, and how these societies connect?

What's the opinion of Rosicrucianism on Mohammed, the Quran, and Islam generally?

More specifically, the original teachings and the root. Not asking much about contemprorary moslems and their behaviours.

Please state the source of the opinion with the opinion. Whether it's you, or whether you're quoting from some Rosicrucian or even Theosophical authority, or any spiritual person.

Any resource(s)/book(s)/ that covers the science and nature of the human aural field (aura), magnetic energy field, and subtle body? Including it's anatomy/make-up/ and workings behind. Being grounded in reality. Preferably (as in preferred but not exclusive/limited to) with diagrams and pictures. Preferably deriving from a regular-masonic chartered order (e.g., SRIAnglia) or order of “legitimate” lineage. Preferably rigorously scientific and scholarly-academic.

Looking to learn about the aura, in hopes to find any potential benefit. Although not particularly Rosicrucian, I have found resource "Collected Works on Qigong Science" helpful. Zealously seeking further.

Any suggested resources?

Respect and thank you for any input😄

This may be silly but it's something I can't get my mind off of. A few months ago I was on a 3 week deck build in the mountains and I was listening to headphones. The stuff I had on was about secret orders and the like. There was a discussion about how the Rosicrucians had an ancient mission that was to keep China and Russia from ever unifying. It was fascinating and I need more info on this topic. However YouTube seems to have deleted that vid and I can find anything else. Any help out there

Dear all Not sure if this is the right place to ask so my apologies. Are there any novels about Rosicrucian / Rosicrucianism ? I have read Zanoni and was very impressed thus my question.

It appears that the SRIA, likely influenced by prior discussions in this subreddit which included posts from SRIA and AMORC members (since deleted), have released a statement addressing its stance on AMORC. Notably, the statement echoes many of the phrases from the original post.

The SRIA’s actions reflect an application of an obscure UGLE rule in a manner that appears designed to target AMORC members within its ranks. This approach is problematic on multiple levels. Firstly, the interpretation and enforcement of this rule seem arbitrary, excluding far more organizations than it includes, with AMORC singled out as the apparent focus. Secondly, for a non-Masonic organization to wield obscure Masonic rules as a tool for disciplining members is not only inappropriate but unbecoming (yes, the SRIA is a non-Masonic organization. It does however restrict membership to Master Masons).

Most importantly, such actions contradict the very spirit of Rosicrucianism, which champions open inquiry and freedom of thought. Efforts to suppress investigations into the Rosicrucian Tradition betray these core principles. Sincere seekers should be free to explore any tradition they choose, without fear of punitive measures from organizations claiming to uphold Rosicrucian ideals.

Rather than fostering tolerance within the Rosicrucian Tradition, the SRIA leadership has chosen a path of exclusion and intolerance. Resorting to these tactics undermines their own credibility and betrays the principles they claim to uphold.

This marks a regrettable and disappointing moment for the SRIA. One can only hope that members of High Council will speak out against this decision, though it seems likely that fear of reprisal may keep many silent.

A Mystical Look at StatisticsAs students of life, we need to be attentive to how mystical laws and principles apply to the wide-ranging subjects of study in the great laboratory of the Cosmos. In this manner, our lives become much more meaningful and efficient in fulfilling our duties and mission in life. As an example, the nurse and mystic Florence Nightingale dedicated her life’s work to the development and application of statistics for the progressive reform and transformation of health practices and hospitals. In a similar spirit, we will consider ways in which the ideas of statistics are related to, and have parallels with, mysticism. Join Hugh McCague as we continue to explore Rosicrucian laws and principles and their creative expression and application for the mastery of life, harmonious living, and service.

Did he have a Ph.D.? An M.D.? D.D.? Something else? From where?

I’d like to be in it, or at least case the joint and see if it’s cool.

Hello! I want to get the opinion of my fellow fraters and sorores on Solomonic magic. As my practice progresses, I want to be more discerning of the energies I work with, and want to get the opinion of the community on The Key of Solomon, sigils, etc -- specifically, if working with these energies is harmful/negatively oriented. For example, we've been taught in Western culture that Archangel Michael is, for lack of a better term, "one of the good guys" -- but in practicing discernment, I am casting a more critical eye onto this specific section of mysticism and considering if I need to abandon research into this area, and using these sigils as protective measures.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and wisdom!
