The Rosicrucian Fellowship Emblem The Rosicrucian Fellowship (TRF) ('An International Association of Christian Mystics') was founded in 1909 by with the aim of heralding the and promulgating 'the true Philosophy' of the. This philosophy draws heavily upon. It claims to present mysteries or, alluded to in 13:11 and 8:10, to establish a meeting ground for, and and to prepare the individual through harmonious development of the mind and the heart for of humanity.

Its headquarters are located on in, and its students are found throughout the world organized in centers and study groups. Its mission is to promulgate a scientific method of development suited particularly to the Western people whereby the 'Soul body' may be wrought, so that humanity may hasten the. The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, In 1908 Max Heindel started, in, the work of rewriting a previous draft in of teachings ostensibly written under the instruction of Elder Brothers in their temple near the border of and Germany. Heindel moved to, where he finished the typescript about September 1908.
The work, called, was revised and printed in November 1909. The first edition of 2500 copies, printed in, was exhausted in six months but it was learned that 2000 of these had been given by the publisher as payment of the debts of the publishing house to other publishers. Immediately, a large second edition was ordered: a first payment was made to the with the help of Augusta Foss, who would become Max Heindel's. This time two booksellers bought one-third of the imprint before it was off the press. The Rosicrucian Fellowship's formal constitution occurred on August 8, 1909, in, at 3:00. The first Rosicrucian study center had been already previously formed in, on November 14, 1908, where Heindel lectured and taught for a number of months. After each lecture he distributed free copies to the audience; those twenty lectures were printed in 1909, along with the first edition of Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, under the title.
The Columbus Center was followed by centers in North (November 1909), and (February 27, 1910), the city where Heindel reencountered his friend Augusta Foss. In Los Angeles, Max Heindel gave conferences three times a week to audiences of nearly one thousand people from November 29, 1909, till March 17, 1910. On October 28, 1911, the organisation's international headquarters, still used today, were opened at Mount Ecclesia in.
The ceremony of ground-breaking consisted in planting a large Cross with the initials C.R.C. (for, the legendary head of the original order) painted in gilt letters on the three upper ends and with a climbing rose. The, called The Ecclesia, was erected for the purpose of affording more powerful means for the healing of disease, and dedicated on December 25, 1920.
Spiritual meetings are held there each day. According to Max Heindel, the invisible Order of the Rose Cross exists in the, was founded in 1313 and is composed of twelve great presented as belonging to human evolution but already advanced far beyond the cycle of.
Their mission is explained as aiming to prepare the whole wide world for a new phase in that includes awareness of the and the and safe guidance in the gradual awakening of man's latent faculties: 'to prepare a new phase of the Christian religion to be used during the now at hand.' Admission into the Rosicrucian Fellowship is free of fees and is funded.
The Fellowship recognizes seven, but its study is primarily based upon a system of three grades: regular student, probationer and disciple. After a two-year term of being a Regular Student of the Fellowship, a person who abstains from all, mind-altering, and may apply for. When the Probationer has complied with the necessary requirements and completed the term of probation he may send request for individual instruction. Access to the Disciple grade is granted upon; once admitted into subsequent unfoldment of the advanced soul within the Order of the is conducted through the process of the nine Lesser. Teachings The school's teachings hold that man is a with all the powers of, powers that are being slowly unfolded in a in a gradually-improving body, a process under the guidance of exalted Beings ordering our steps in a decreasing measure as man gradually acquires and.
For this purpose we live many lives of increasingly fine texture and. Through the 'Law of Cause and Consequence' we constantly set new into operation which will create new destiny to balance and improve the old destiny brought from the past.
All causes set into action in one life cannot be ripened in one existence but 'Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap'. The constitution of man The human being is seen as a threefold, possessing a, by means of which he governs the threefold.
This threefold body he transmutes into a threefold upon which he nourishes himself 'from impotence into '. The Ego (not as defined by Freud) is the threefold Spirit, the God Within, which uses these vehicles to gather experience in the school of life.
The three aspects of the Spirit are (from highest to lowest aspect):. the Divine aspect;. the Life Spirit aspect;. the Human Spirit aspect. The functions like a mirror, reflecting the outer world and enabling the ego to transmit its commands as thought and word, and also to compel action.
The threefold body consists of;. a, which is the visible instrument he uses here in this world to fetch and carry (the body we ordinarily think of as the whole man). a, which is made of and pervades the visible body as ether permeates all other forms, except that human beings specialize a greater amount of the universal ether than other forms. The ethereal body is our instrument for specializing the vital energy of the sun and is seen by vision to extend about an inch and a half outside our visible body. a, which is our nature and this finer vehicle pervades both the vital and dense bodies (it is seen by clairvoyant vision to extend about 16 inches outside our visible body, which is located in the center of this ovoid cloud as the yolk is in the center of an egg). The threefold soul consists of;. Conscious Soul: extracted as pabulum from the dense body (which was emanated from the Divine Spirit aspect).
Intellectual Soul: extracted as pabulum from the vital body (which was emanated from the Life Spirit aspect). Emotional Soul: extracted as pabulum from the desire body (which was emanated from the Human Spirit aspect). 14th century illustration of the, the ' regions convex upward centered on. Teachings enable us to become aware that Christ must be born within. There is a distinction between the Christ which is born within us, our true Saviour, and the Cosmic Christ, the Christ without. Belalim mahsun download free. The latter helps us in the task of having Christ born within; however, it is our task to form the Christ within, the 'Soul Body' which is the vehicle humanity will need to live in the Sixth, the.
The ' is a vehicle evolved from a work of transmutation upon the (the two superior ethers), not to be confounded with the 'desire body' since during the desire body molds itself readily into this prepared matrix and, when the individual returns to the physical body, the effort of will whereby he enters automatically dissolves the intimate connection between the desire body and the Astral or body. The term 'Astral body' was, it is said, employed by the mediaeval because of the ability it conferred upon the one who has it to traverse the ' regions. The 'Astral body' is regarded as the ' or 'Living Stone' of the alchemist, the Golden 'Wedding Garment' that speaks of in the, the 'Soul Body' soma psuchicon that mentions in the or the ' spoken of in some of the. It will eventually be evolved by humanity as a whole.
The physical body is a vehicle which the Spirit uses to gain, while is a passing of the into a larger sphere, a birth which should be prepared for with the greatest care. The Ego must assimilate what it has experienced. The Spirit withdraws with the two, which are tied to the etheric and physical bodies by a slender cord.
At death the desire and mental bodies leave the physical, taking with them but one permanent, which during life is stationed in the solar plexus. The seed atom, of the dense body, like the negative film of the camera, has been impressed with all the experiences of the life just ended. At death the force of this atom leave the body and all these impressions are transferred from the, the storehouse of these experiences, into the, which then forms the basis of the man or woman's life in and the first. This transfer is done by the Spirit during the first three and one-half days (84 hours) after the rupture of the connection between the seed atom and the heart, ordinarily known as death: death is not complete until this transfer has been accomplished. During this time sensation is still present, and the Spirit suffers through inharmonious surroundings, including examination and. Should be prepared for with the greatest care, requiring a ', or preservation period, of the physical body for three and half days (84 hours), for purpose (in a pacific death; not in a sudden impact such as: shock, accident, catastrophe, heart attack or suicide), before or any other way of.

“We must constantly bear in mind that these Worlds inter-penetrate, that the Globes inter-penetrate, and that the way they are shown in the diagram reduced to two dimensions is analogous to taking all the wheels of a watch and laying them side by side in order to show how the watch keeps time.” Max Heindel The evolution of man is divided into seven Periods:. involution: the Saturn Period, the Sun Period, the Moon Period;. the Earth Period (first half still involution, second half towards evolution);. evolution: the Jupiter Period, the Venus Period, the Vulcan Period.
We are presently in the second half of the Earth Period: we have just passed the end of our involution and are beginning our, or the spiritualization of matter and our return to God our Father. The three Aspects of God are Will, Wisdom and Activity. Has completed His union with the first aspect, will. The Son, Christ, the highest Initiate of the Sun Period: has completed His union with the Second aspect of God, wisdom., the Highest Initiate of the Moon Period, has completed His union with the third aspect, activity. The sevenfold constitution of man is related to five of seven worlds, different having varying and, states of - not separated by or but permeating one another, so that God and the other great beings pervade their own realms and those of greater density than their own, including our own.
Some worlds are related to the and the higher ones to the whole. These seven worlds are the planes of evolution of each and constitute the seventh and lower cosmic plane; the six superior cosmic planes possibly each have a different and larger structural and dynamic expression in the physical.
