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 !

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
We shape clay into a
pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.
Lao Tzu .
Divine Light, Oh, Illustrious ONE.
Thank you, for this universe
and for all your blessings that you grant us. We humbly come before
thee to offer you this tribute as minute as it may be, comes from
our hearts.
Universal life force, Your life shines here, in a desert turtle,
in a humming bird, in the sand, in the foliage, in a child, in
every woman and every man.
Your life shines there in a galaxy, in the moon, in the sun, in
a comet, in the shooting stars.
Life is everywhere, in you and me, on earth, in every land, in
all the planets including mars.
How can we take this for granted, that you are so near, never
far, to do such is futile to our life’s Plan.
We Ask thee to Bless us this evening and Protect us from negative
thoughts, as we embark once more to learn about you in our Temple.
"The One Is Everywhere" by, Julio Cesar Acosta
Have
patience with everything unresolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves ...
Don't search for the answers,
which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke

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, 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.
Notice:
All healings listed are for the actual time of the healing. If the healing
is for 8 pm CT that is the time of the actual healing but your invite
will say be in the room to begin healing at 7:30 remember your time Zone
and always be in and come to the paths room 30 minutes before the healing
time.
We of the Rosicrucian Paths chat room offer what's called a Temple every
Thursday Night at 8 PM Central Time.
It is offered for you.
It is a representation of how an actual R+C lodge or Temple session is
run.
The fact that we have passwords and counter signs is not meant to be a
hindrance to any one of you attending such session nights.
There is not one thing really secret about such passwords as they are
freely divulged to you.
The function that they play is only to add a degree of authenticity to
the over all Temple session.
We have people who have, of their own free will, agreed to occupy certain
ritualistic roles in carrying out the workings of this Temple.
There is a lesson that is given at the end of temple.
When it is given by Frater Tom, it reflects those ideas that he has gleamed
from his long tenure as a member of the order R+C.
It also may be molded and influenced to various degrees by his association
with that school called Vedanta.
It also takes on the flavor of his particular world view.
It is not a lesson that is sanctified by any one Rosicrucian order in
particular.
It would be dead wrong and illegal as well as morally defunct and of poor
ethical choice to lay claim that the lessons given are reflective of and
gospel of a R+C order such as AMORC.
There are ample disclaimers on many official R+C sites such as AMORC and
CR+C as well as FRC that flatly advise you to be very prudent when you
hearken to any system that is not sanctified along the lines that that
particular order wishes to put forth.
The things we do in Temple are there to help you gain an understanding
of how a Mystical order works.
The ideas that you will find in a Paths room are there to help you unlock
that potential that you all have.
The path room also is not in existence to zero in on one school of R+C.
We have people who belong to more that one school that are members of
the Paths room and who come to Temple.
I appeal to you all.
Is it so hard, is it so difficult, to reserve one small hour per week
to come and join us in a very thought provoking and informative Temple
night?
The only way things that we of the Path room can continue to grow and
survive is by your participation.
I reach out to you.
Please join with us.
Without your support there will no longer be a Temple.
ONE HOUR ONE NIGHT A WEEK
Peace profound
Frater Tom F.R.C.
Salutations:
In our last temple there was a statement made that we would need to explore
the following concept in order to see if we could make any sense out of
it:
"There exists a vibrational state that forms a sort of phantom like
body that exists as a type of CO body within man. This is according to
the Mystical outlook and the R+C.
This is called the psychic body. In order for this vibrational body to
achieve a long enough existence before its coalesce composition begins
to dissipate, due to a lack of a physical container to house it, it must
have a high degree of vibrational composition.
This may be looked at in much the same way as we might look at a gas that
has been set free into the air."
The first area that we will look into will be ideas from a scientific
standpoint to see if it is possible for a coalesce entity to exist outside
of its progenitor, and in particular if that progenitor is no longer turned
on.
There exists a phenomena called capacitance which is the ability of an
electric charge to be stored.
Capacitance is a measure of the amount of electric charge stored (or separated)
for a given electric potential.
High voltage capacitors may hold a charge long after power is turned off.
Always discharge capacitors before adjusting a primary circuit.
So we have evidence for the retaining of an energy after the source is
no longer viable.
This now gives us a working platform on which to base our contention that
the psychic body may retain enough of its essence to remain after the
physical body has shut down.
How might this become projected so that it may travel along the Cosmic
trails to at some point reinsert itself into a new physical structure?
The best answer to this that may be given at this time, is that its coalesce
structure allows it to exist as a type of wave front not entirely unlike
what may be found in a broadcast wave such as what may be found in TV
and radio signals.
We all hear of the FCC selling bandwidth for new start up companies.
The cosmic has its own bandwidth spectrum on which these psychic bodies
with their corresponding soul personalities may sail.
The thing is that each psychic body does not as a rule make this journey
as a sperate thing but must travel in packets of like vibrational structure;
hence, the term: let me add my light to yours.
We all know that our computers have data within them. This data may be
compacted into a stream such as:
ThechocolategoosebunnieshadareweteatenfeathersatEaster.
The example would be psychic body A. The goose had wet feathers.
Psychic body B. Chocolate bunnies are eaten at Easter.
Hail to the cosmic.
So mote it be !!!!!!!!!!!!
