Rosicrucian Fellowship Purposes, Aims,
and Activities
The Rosicrucian Fellowship is a Christian organization composed of men and
women who are students of the Rosicrucian Philosophy
as presented in The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception.
This philosophy is known as the Western Wisdom
Teaching and establishes a meeting-ground for science and religion. Its
students are located throughout the world; but their International Headquarters
is located at Oceanside, California, USA.
The Rosicrucian Fellowship has no connection with any other organization. It
was launched during the late summer and autumn of 1909, after a course of
lectures in Seattle by Mr. Max Heindel. A study center was formed and the
Headquarters were temporarily located in that city. Arrangements were also made
for publishing The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception. With the issue of this
work by the Rosicrucian Fellowship, the Association was definitely
started.
The General Work of
The Rosicrucian FellowshipThe work of the Fellowship is to preach the gospel (of the coming Aquarian
Age) and heal the sick. This is achieved by making the Western Wisdom Teaching available to all who are ready to
receive it and by conducting a Healing Department which emphasizes spiritual
healing along with principles of right living. The work of the Fellowship is
done through the efforts of its entire membership assisted by Headquarters. Many
friends in the world work through Centers which hold classes in the Philosophy
and in spiritual astrology, the study and teaching of which is an integral part
of the work of the Fellowship.

Rosicrucian Fundamentals
|
|
 The Rosicrucian Order is
an ancient Mystic Fraternity formed in the year 1313 by a high spiritual teacher
having the symbolical name "Christian Rosenkreuz": Christian Rose
Cross. It was his mission to prepare a new phase of the Christian
religion to be used during the coming age now at hand, for
as the world and man evolve so also must religion change. The system of worship
suited to the spiritual needs of our forebears is unsuited to our altered
intellectual condition. Therefore, the great spiritual entities in charge of
evolution, change the religions of the world in harmony with the passage of the
marching orbs in the heavens.

The
Simbolism of the Rose Cross by
Max Heindel |
|
Viewed in its fullness, this wonderful symbol contains
the key to man's past evolution, his present constitution and future
development, together with the method of attainment. In the form where it is
represented with a single rose in the center it symbolizes the spirit radiating
from itself the four vehicles: the dense, vital and desire bodies plus the mind;
where the spirit has drawn into its instruments and become the
indwelling human spirit.

Christian
Rosenkreuz and the Order of the
Rosicrucians by
Max Heindel
|
|
Having encountered among the public a
widespread desire to learn something of the Order of Rosicrucians, and as there
is a lack of understanding of the important place occupied by the Brothers of
the Rose Cross in our Western civilization, even among our students, it may be
well to furnish authentic information upon the subject. In the years 1907-08, after being tested for sincerity
of purpose and selfless desire to aid his fellowmen, Max Heindel was selected by the Brothers of the Rose Cross to give out publicly
the Western Wisdom Teachings and thus help prepare
humanity for the coming Age of Universal Brotherhood. By means of intense
self-discipline and devotion to service he earned the status of Lay Brother
(Initiate) in the exalted Rosicrucian Order.
Under the direction of the Brothers of the Rose Cross,
spiritual giants of the human race, Max Heindel wrote The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, an
epoch-making book which has now become the Western World's leading textbook on
occultism. By means of his own spiritual development he was able to verify for
himself much that was given in the Cosmo-Conception, as well as to
gain additional knowledge that later become embodied in his numerous
books.

World Peace Meditation
We have the power within ourselves to hasten the day of peace, by talking, thinking, and living PEACE, for the concerted action of thousands of people does carry an impression to the Race Spirit when it is there directed, especially when the moon is in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, which are the three great psychic signs best suited to occult work of this nature. Let us use the two and one-half days during which the moon is in each of these signs for the purpose of meditation upon peace--peace on earth and among men good will. But in so doing let us be sure that we DO NOT TAKE SIDES for or against any of the battling nations; let us remember at all times that everyone of their members is our brother. One is entitled to our love as much as another. Let us hold the thought that what we want is to see UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD lived upon earth, namely, peace on earth and among men good will regardless of whether the combatants were born on one side or the other of an imaginary line drawn upon the map, regardless of whether they express themselves in this, that, or the other tongue. Let us pray that peace may come upon earth; everlasting peace, and good will among all men, irrespective of all differences of race, creed, color, or religion. In the measure that we succeed in voicing WITH OUR HEARTS, not with our lips only, this impersonal prayer
for peace, shall we further the Kingdom of Christ, for remember that eventually that is where we are all bound for,--THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS where the Christ is "King of kings and Lord of lords."       |

St. Francis Prayers
|
|
 Saint Francis of Assisi has been revered for centuries for his simple message of love, joy, and peace, and for his commitment to the least fortunate of God's creatures. But Francis did not always lead such an exemplary life. Born into a wealthy Italian family, Francis spent his youth primarily pursuing leisure activities and entertainment. But after God spoke to him in a ruined church, Francis renounced his wealth and became a traveling preacher, owning nothing and begging for food. Through his work with the poor and the sick, Francis was transformed into a caring man who put God at the center of his life.

The Golden Rule
|
|
 The Golden Rule or the ethic of reciprocity is found in the scriptures of nearly every religion. It is often regarded as the most concise and general principle of ethics. It is a condensation in one principle of all longer lists of ordinances such as the Decalogue.

COSMODYNES by Allen Edwall
Cosmodynes, also called astrodynes, are an astrological measure of strength and harmony. The original techniques were developed in 1946 by Elbert Benjamine (aka C.C. Zain) of the Church of Light in Los Angeles and W.M.A. Drake. The methods used to calculate astrodynes have been published in several books. The Church of Light has published their "Course XVI, Stellar Healing" book and Elbert Benjamine's "The Astrodyne Manual". The AFA has published Doris Chase Doane's "How To Read Cosmodynes" and Ken Stone's "Delineation with Astrodynes". This last book gives perhaps more interpretation of the various astrodynes than any of the other books mentioned.
Please read the articles below for basic information on cosmodynes and how to use them to analyze yourself and your romantic relationships.
