The Evolving Consciousness - My Rosicrucian Moment
" We cannot jump from the limited objective self, which concerns itself only with worldly things, to the extended Cosmic self, which is in close proximity to our higher being. There is too great a gap between the two. It is like attempting to leap from the lowest rung of a high ladder to the top one. To attempt such a jump, as many do, produces religious fanatics, disillusioned individuals, and those unfortunates with mental aberrations. Each self has its own particular value; otherwise, we would not have consciousness of it. No mechanic uses one tool for all purposes. No surgeon uses one instrument for all operations. No one, who has had the experience and realizes, through evolving his consciousness, that there is a hierarchy of selves, will ever attempt to build his own life on one self and its relationships. This point of the hierarchy of selves, it must be evident, provides an opportunity for the fullness of life."

The Pitfalls - My Rosicrucian Moment
"Rosicrucianism seeks to reunite man with the divine purpose. If its members pursue merely one aspect, they go off at a tangent. They must be drawn back into the whole. So Rosicrucians avoid having any affection, any particular love for a special bypath, so as not to get sidetracked on their climb upward. They investigate all paths and that is why Rosicrucianism seeks to include all tried and tested branches of knowledge. Make certain that whatever the direction in which you move in your thinking, you return again to the main trunk; otherwise, you will be opposing your philosophical purpose- the unity of all knowledge.”
(Ralph M. Lewis, F.R.C., 'Sanctuary of Self')

SPIRITUAL TREASURES - My Rosicrucian Moment
" Why do some people seek spiritual treasures while others ignore them? Because time itself- the fleeting years- sooner or later teach many of us that the spiritual things are the best things, the only treasures worth having. Spiritual treasures are changeless and timeless.
Rust, corruption, and the changing fortunes of fate can wipe out even the largest of fortunes; but things of the spirit cannot be taken away. Once you have them, they are yours. They last. A robber can take your money or your car, but he cannot take your spiritual riches because they are within you."
(L. Perry Wilbur, RC digest, Jan.1976)

To bring to the attention of the public, the history and work of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, that preceded the advent of what is popularly termed the 'information age' and by extension, social networking. I hope that through this medium and in other places, the work of the Order, and its contribution to education worldwide, would be given the recognition and respect that they deserve.
