Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 My father passed away a few years ago. He was a member of the Rosicrucian Order. He never talked about it. I have kept boxes of his studies. I haven't read much, but am curious about what others think. If it is not appropriate to discuss on this forum, please feel free to let me know. I don't want to get involved in something that may not be good for me. I don't like to join Religious groups, church for instance has a very negative feeling for me although I know It is good for many. Mind control etc is one of my 1st negative thoughts about it.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 It is another group of people searching. They enjoy secrets as a way of separating themselves from others. A " secret society. " Some search for God and some search for power. Some use others for their own ends and some use their own persons. Some Rosicrucians are ordinary people. They give to charities and to helpful causes. They are a social network of well meaning and well intentioned people. Others are in it for reasons of a search for God and for information about enlightenment and so forth. And yet others are in it for power and wielding power over others. So really not so different than any other corporation or theological belief structure. Imho. If it has to be secret then I feel the motives and intentions are not up to the standards of honesty that I set up for myself. So for me I do not engage them. I feel there are issues with secret societies that can underscore opportunities for learning what it is to be used by the egregore of the secret groups. An egregore is a being of conscious energy of the collected thoughts and prayers and intentions of a group of people. Like the one that has formed around our community here. Though ours is about love and honesty and truth and is in no way secret. Some egregores have qualities that are carried over from the distant past and these can include ancient issues that have not been resolved by the membership present at the time that the issue was formed. Some of these issues can be given to new initiates as they abandon the seniority of their spiritual directions and actions to the dictates of the group and the consciousness (egregore) of that group. This is often a requirement for entry into the group. This can have unfortunate repercussions that can challenge the new person who may not have known what they were getting into until it is to late to be extracted. This is the trap of secrecy. For me I would advise people to steer clear of " secret societies. " Align yourself with love and openess and honesty and integrity. Let there be no secrets from others except for your own safety as regards the Kundalini. In the west and other societies Kundalini declarations can have ominous results for the person making such a declaration. Not speaking of the Kundalini is not keeping a secret in order to trap or exert a power over another. It is keeping understandings and information away from those who do not have at this time the ability to understand or even the interest to seek understanding and in so doing can inflict harm upon the one with the Kundalini. Love and truth and honesty and trust are still given out freely. No secret is demanded upon those who would wish to explore this path. No trap is set and no vow of servitude to another human is commanded. Kundalini Shakti as it permeates and changes the body will demand certain surrenderings that will help the infusion and the changes created from the infusion of the Kundalini. This is in my view a bit different than commanding surrender of the soul for purposes other than its own maturation. When we surrender to Kundalini we are surrendering to ourselves and the divinity with in us. So I will not state that " all " secret societies are bad or have intentions not healthy for others. I will state that some do have these issues. The rosicrucians trip the red caution flags for me. Let your discernment feel what they are for you. - blessings Pat. - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Namaste Pat, The Rosicruicians or the Ancient Mystical Order of the Rosi Cross, from my limited understanding teach via Rosicrucian Monographs, of which your farther has left behind. Rosicrucians would say that these should be destroyed or returned to them. The Rosicrucian path is very much one of ritual. Of course, ritual, very much influences the deeper parts of one psyche. I believe, correctly or not, that the teachings are more scientifically based, teaching telepathy, psychokenesis, atral and mental projection, healing, clairvoyance, meditation, prayer, etc. etc. and how these phenomena can be scientifically explained. I believe this is an esoteric school, and at one time was very secretive, and many of the Templer Knights were Rosicrusians. Like all esoteric methods and systems, eventually the final outcome, if it is Gods will - is the activation of the kundalini.Many of the worlds famous individuals and genius's were rosicrusions, Francis Bacon, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin. More recently Joseph J. Weed who wrote several books including " Wisdom of the Mystic Masters " May I suggest that your father was in fact on the same path as yourself, and could it be his influence directing you now in your life's journey. My own suggestion would be to pray into this, " Ask and thou shall receive " and an answer will come to you. Many blessings to your and blessings too to your late father.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thank you Chrism. Your warning is well taken. I know secrecy was needed in the past so that one didn't end up being burned at the stake, or put to death, or even just hated by the community. But it was strange that my father could not even talk to his adult daughter about these things, even when I told him about things that were happening to me. But I think my mother might have become upset if he had talked about it to me, so I never held it against him. I will at some point look through his papers, but will steer clear of " joining " anything at this time. - Love and Light - Pat , " chrism " <> wrote: > > It is another group of people searching.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 They are pretty serious about their secrets. He may have had some intense spiritual experiences that would confirm " for him " the validity of suggested punishments if he were to abrogate his agreements. It might be best to just honor his feelings in this. Just a thought Pat. For you not having made the agreements there is no problem but sometimes inside of Kundalini it is best to stay clear of some groups. - just a thought. - chrism , " Pat " <lookinglassaussies wrote: > > Thank you Chrism.
