Please forgive my ignorance, as I am still familiarising myself with this website. I understand there will be a first degree initiation in March of next year. I spoke with someone who works in the Temple about this and she encouraged me to seek my fi
This afternoon - while travelling in my Saturn - out and about getting some errands done - listening to my favorite radio station - NPR - the discussion was about a book "The Riddle of the Labyrinth" by Margalit Fox which details the discovery of Li
I recently had the opportunity to walk through the Rosicrucian Labyrinth and wanted to open a discussion on a series of questions I wound up asking myself during my experience as I fou

After breakfast, the group was magically taken to the flat top hill with its circular arrangement of granite seating. From the top of this hill, one had a spectacular view of the lush countryside and the Atlantic Ocean in the background. The sky was
Hello, my dears. I was unpacking some old books and came across a note it seems I wrote many years ago. I think it is good advice, or at least so I was told by a lover of the past.

I decided to post one of the most important spiritual exercises created at the Institute! An exercise, if done religiously, will introduce you to the silent Kingdom of God Within, Nibbana, Lahut, Sacred Marriage, and so on.
As some of you know, I created (with the help of some dear R+C friends) a mystical play so to celebrate the 108 yr anniversary of HS Lewis' initiation into the Order in Toulouse, Franc
