I invite you to join us again Sunday February 8th @ Parkrose at 2 pm for our Pronaos Convocation and discussion on “Making Your Dreams Come True.” This time of year is commonly used to set goals and aspirations, and this article from the Rosicrucian Digest, focuses on one of the key elements of attaining a desire, and that is to let it go, and “dismiss” it. It also shares how carrying and dismissing your desires causes “coincidental” and “unexpected” meetings to happen that further your goals. This is one of the practical tools of the Rosicrucian Mystic that is good to use often and to be precise with its use! Afterwards, Let us discuss topics of Rosicrucian or mystical interest together! We will share our thoughts on these topics and learn from each other. Each member can bring a thought on a topic to share, or read a paragraph on the topic they’d like to hear the rest of us respond to. We’re providing some Rosicrucian sources on the topic of Beauty for example but all are encouraged to find their own sources. On the Nature of Beauty – Ralph M. Lewis Page 25 of the text Beauty and Excellence as Spiritual Stimulus – Edgar Wirt page 14 of the text The Beauty of Fraternity – H. Spencer Lewis page 34 of the text   This event is open to AMORC members, their family, and close friends of the Rosicrucian Order. Members, please bring your current membership credentials. Also bring refreshments to share, healthy snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Directions can be found at: Parkrose directions and parking 4812 NE 102nd Ave. Portland, OR 97220 For those whom have not attended before, please arrive 30 minutes early to be shown the ropes. Schedule 1:30 PM – Doors Open 2:00 PM – Atrium Convocation 3:00 PM – Experiments, snacks and fascinating discussions Let us look forward to setting, visualizing, and realizing goals and aspirations together. Best wishes for Peace Profound, Frater Aaron ‘Lightbringer’ Howard

Fratres and Sorores,

I invite you to join us Sunday November 9th @ Parkrose  at 1 pm for our Pronaos Convocation with an experiment on Vibroturgy! 

Join us for the Convocation Ceremony with a popular experiment in Vibroturgy. This experiment helps you prove to yourself that the human aura imprints on the things we wear and if you train your sensitivity as Rosicrucians do, you can pick up insights into the person who wore those things. 

In other words, bring one or two things that you and others you know well, that you or they carried on your bodies. Gender-neutral items are best for testing our sensitivity because, for example, if someone presented a woman’s style wedding ring, it would be easy to discern that the person who wore that ring was a woman. A simple silver chain: not so easy to stereotype. 

There will be discussion and great refreshments afterwards!

This event is open to all AMORC members. Members, please bring your current membership credentials. Also bring refreshments to share, healthy snacks and non-alcoholic beverages.

“The Rosicrucians have always believed that our physical body is the Temple in which the soul resides throughout the course of terrestrial life. It should be the object of our greatest respect, for it is the supporting matter from which we can accomplish spiritual evolution.”

Let us look forward to sharing the impressions we receive and share as we experiment together.

Best wishes for Peace Profound,

Be mature enough to enjoy and benefit from the beauty and glory of your own company!: And the world would lay bare before you!.

Embrace the intelligence of Silence!; and you would understand the language of the universe!.

Constant Cosmic guidance for a fulfilled existence to all and eternal peace profound to the world!.

Fratres and Sorores,

On October 26th, we’ll have a fun party, sort of like a Halloween party, but we’re calling it an All Hallows costume party, in which you are encouraged to Come-As-You-Were!

If you remember a past life as a cowboy, you could come dressed as that, or as a mason, a baker, a priest, an actor! If you don’t remember a past life, but like dressing up, come as you wish, maybe as a fine dandy or a dashing Lady!

Or don’t dress up, but join us anyway.

This is open to members, friends and family. Members, please bring your current membership credentials.

At this party we’ll also speak briefly some memories about the fratres and sorores who have passed through transition in the last few years, and note their contribution to what this group has become.

The Pronaos will be providing two main dishes, one vegan, and one omnivore, so everybody else should bring desserts, non-alcoholic drinks, and side dishes.

We will be meeting at the Frogpond Grange in Wilsonville at 1 pm until 3 pm.

Address: 27350 Stafford Rd. Wilsonville, OR 97070

I’m excited to see who you feel you were in another life or what you envision as another life. See you soon!

Peace Profound, Frater Aaron Howard

“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” — William James

Everything that comes our way in this life, good or bad, holds a teaching if we are mindful enough to give it our full presence. 

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.” – Marcus Aurelius

ETHICS OF THE ROSARY CROSSES

— Be confident, because confidence in yourself is a source of completeness, and confidence in others, a source of friendship.

Monday September 22nd @ 1pm we’re meeting at the Frog Pond Grange, in Wilsonville for the Memorial “Pyramid” Ceremony  It is a privilege to have a group where we can meet and share experiences with other Rosicrucians. We don’t share member addresses with each other, but if you are indeed interested in carpooling, we will let our keeper of the addresses know and we will see what can be arranged. (Maybe members could host long-distance visiting members overnight!) We’re (that’s me and any of you who wish to join me) are going to have the privilege of performing the simple and profound outdoor Memorial (Pyramid Ceremony) on the very day of the Autumnal Equinox (which occurs at 11:19 a.m.) Will you be there, and will you bring a friend, family member, and a big rock? Yes, find a big beautiful rock (my favorite is a chunk of red Jasper about 5 lbs.) and bring it with you.  Find a rock for your friend too, because we’ll use them to build a symbolic pyramid. The rocks, not the friends!  This is an open meeting. Bring folks age 18 and above who are curious about who we are and what we do. We’ll then go inside, partake of refreshments and have a brief discussion afterwards on the question: Which Rosicrucian person or book has most influenced you? Memorial Pyramid Ceremony/Autumnal Equinox Address: 27350 Stafford Rd. Wilsonville, OR 97070 This is a ceremony we prefer to hold outdoors, and the weather looks like it will cooperate. The Grange has an amazing heritage evergreen tree that we’ll gather under. THE GROUND IS NOT SMOOTH AND PARKLIKE, ITS BUMPY. Be careful walking. BRING YOUR OWN LAWN CHAIRS! THIS WILL NOT BE THE USUAL CONVOCATION, this will be much more casual. Our greeters will show you around the Grange, starting at 12:30 PM, and share with you some of the symbolism you’ll see, answer your questions, and acquaint you with the ritual to be performed. Schedule 1:00 PM – Ritual begins 1:45 (approximately) PM – Pack your rocks and lawn chairs, go inside, talk and enjoy snacks Form some committees to plan good times for next year! ALSO KNOWN AS MENTAL CREATION, parts 1, 2, and 3. You develop these if you wish, with my guidance and assistance. 1. Plan an event where a group of us members and families take the train down to a Grand Lodge in San Jose, Ca for a Metaphysical Weekend (date to be determined) 2. Plan a Sound Healing seminar (one or two-day) at the Oregon Coast? Some secluded forest camp? 3. Plan a series of workshops (live and also on Zoom) where we share our curiosity, art, travels and expertise on many things Egyptian. Shall we invite in guest speakers? 4. Plan an event or events which will be fun to bring your kids to. Extra points if the event or events have a metaphysical part to them, such as a walk in the woods to experience forest bathing, or even plain old fun events like going to the Enchanted FOREST, or the Zoo, or miniature golf, or labyrinth walking, or? This is the time of year I start making plans for the next year. Do let me hear from you and whether you’d like to help mentally create and plan any of these fun times!
