Welcome
to the official website of the AOL chat-room Rosicrucian
Paths!
THIS
WEBSITE AND THE ROSICRUCIAN PATHS CHAT-ROOM IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH OR
AN OFFICIAL SITE FOR ANY ROSICRUCIAN ORDER.
MISSION
STATEMENT:
The Rosicrucian Paths room was opened in the hope of exposing people to
ideas associated with the teachings of the Rosicrucian order. It
was also to be a place where many diversified Soul Personalities could
come in search of light, and a mystical & spiritual path. It
is to be a doorway from which many can enter and begin their journey,
according to their own development, on a path that would lead them not
only into that known as Cosmic awareness, but also toward a Mastery of
Life.
Some of
the ideas expressed in this room are influenced by its founder's exposure
to studies in a school of esoteric thought and philosophy known as Vedanta.
It would advocate as one of its principle tenets the idea of the 'ONE';
this idea following very closely that which was set out by the ancient
philosopher known as Plotinus.
While many of the
ideas put forth in the room come from AMORC, it was also thought that
perhaps some unification of the many schools of a Rosicrucian nature could
find a place in which to meet and share natures in the spirit of companionship
and family.
Often those that visit this room (located in the 'LIFE' section - Created
by Members location on AOL) find that after a while they are invited to
become members of the room and as such are welcomed in as family members.
There are many activities
associated with the chat-room:
*
Every Thursday there is what we call 'Convocation Night'; which exposes
people to ceremonies & teachings similar to those which they might
find in a Temple of the Rosicrucian Order or a Masonic Lodge.
*
We endeavor to present what are called 'Absent Healing Sessions' where
participants join in an attempt to send healing energies to a person in
need, in keeping with the commitment to service of others found
in the Rosicrucian Orders.
*
We offer what is called a 'Cosmic Initiation' that exposes the individual
to the ritual of initiation and also gives each person a chance to bond
with the Cosmic in love & service.
*
We also have an in-house Newsletter called 'Cosmic Rays' (featured below)
which is sent out weekly to room members & visitors.
All things each and every person associated with us does is done in the
best, most professional way possible.
We offer you a light-filled love offering and hope you will find our experience
one which is enjoyable for you, and we invite you to come and rest with
us for a while on your cosmic journey. May the God of your Heart,
and Illumination bless you and guide you along your way.
SO MOTE IT BE !
The week of November 5, 2009
We
are blessed with another chance to be, another chance to understand,
we are given another opportunity to try....
“The religious idea of God
cannot do full duty for the metaphysical infinity.”
Alan Watts
The seed is all in ALL, the blossom is lent.
The Great Breath of the Cosmic… Blowing on every being,
a tiny seed of fire…
Fans out your petals for the excess of the warm flame and light.
till all your being shines from within.
Blossom all…. Blossom. Be a rose, shine and be Light!
Without an ulterior motive; for me it is more than enough if the
flower does but yet unclose.
Tonight I want to offer a personal thank you for welcoming me,
and allowing me to be a part of this great family. From my heart
- I Thank YOU.
May the Great Universal, the ONE, guide us and illuminate each
and every one of us on our Path.
Frater Tom
THE
CREED:
The mystical path leading to illumination requires a tenacity of purpose
and a dedication of the heart and mind, which only a few possess.
It is therefore not a path of the curious, or the sensation seeker, or even
for those seeking a refuge from the troubled world.
It is an ideal for those who are willing to pledge their whole heart and
mind for the growth and expression of the soul within, to the end of truly
serving and raising suffering humanity.
A
STATEMENT OF OUR INTENTIONS:
We offer you an eclectic path and door way to the greater light of the
cosmic. We are not affiliated with any Rosicrucian school in particular
but we offer you links to schools and branches
of Rosicrucianism without prejudice.
It is the preferred course of action that you - as a student of the
mystical & spiritual path - follow one of these larger, much broader curriculum
of study. We do offer an On-line Rosicrucian Order that has been
formulated by Three Venerable Brethren of the Rose and the Cross as a
service to those who may - for some reason of their own - not wish to
affiliate with one of the much larger more established orders.
We do require a bit more in the way of an initiated process to join our
Order, the R.'.C.'.L.'. since our services are offered free of charge.
Please contact Brother Tom for all
inquiries concerning the R.'.C.'.L.'
IN
OUR CHAT-ROOM...
Rosicrucian Paths, which
may be found in the Created by Members - Life area, we offer spirited
discussion of many spiritual & metaphysical issues.
We also gather to do healing work according to Rosicrucian ideals set
forth in the Rosicrucian document Fama Fraternitatis.
Through the beneficence of THE ONE, we have seen some success resulting
from our efforts. We in no way claim to be able to effect miracle
cures, but in some cases the positive energy put forth has seemed to be
helpful.
We have testimonials from individuals who have felt the benefits.
We feel it a breach of privacy to post them in this public forum, but
should you visit our chat-room, you will no doubt meet some of these people
and hear their stories firsthand.
Salutations:
Tonight we will be looking to begin a final series in this degree of study.
The so called Spiritual aspect of Man.
Man is often said to have three bodies.
The three bodies are the Physical, The Mental, and the Spiritual.
In Man those things that deal with the sublime
and the high states of Consciousness and are
concerned more with aspects of the Cosmic mind are called spiritual.
Spiritual is a large class of several sub classes.
The conscious field of related energies of higher states of awareness
that corresponds to the physical body
is called the Psychic body.
This psychic body has a personality of its own often called the Soul personality.
There is the unconscious mind that often flows over
into what's known as the sub conscious mind
that rounds out the 3 elements collectively known to man as mans spiritual
self.
Now just as man has an outer self Man also has an inner self.
This inner self is the entity that bridges the outer man and that known
as the SOUL. >>>>>>>
A LOOK BACK AT THIS IS HELPFUL.
That which is known as the Soul is a conscious intelligent ever present
field that emanates from the ONE.
It is a type of director or for some an operating system
that has as its creative body that known as NOUS.
NOUS being a dualistic body of, lets say stuff, that Soul uses.
We must never think that Soul is ever dependent on NOUS;
as NOUS is an attribute of Soul, just as Soul is an attribute of the ONE.
It is the particular manifestation that makes each what it may be.
**** There could be an argument advanced,
that all things are Soul, but that would involve details this person is
not willing or able to tackle at this time. ****
All these elements work in a triune duality of one merged body.
They are as inseparable as is chocolate out of chocolate milk.
>>>> CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not dissimilar to a type of phantom being that inhabits the body
of a person.
This spiritual self or inner self has, as shown, a body, a mind, and a
soul.
It is this spiritual essence that is said to pass on into the Cosmic at
the time of transition
as when this takes place the body dissolves and returns to the elements
of which it was composed.
There are several factors that may be looked at and some are not all that
clear.
This person thinks that the psychic body
is a type of vessel or shell that transports the Soul personality into
the Cosmic realm.
The main point to be shown tonight is that it is the Spiritual self that
transforms and moves on or does not.
So Mote It Be !!!!!!!!!!!!
