Masters Message for May

My chosen theme for this Rosicrucian year 3377 (which began March 2024),  is Love and Nature.  We took a questionnaire at the 100 year celebration, and the results were that members wanted more experiences, (like the meditation in the woods and tour of Champoeg State Park), more experiments, and more experiences in nature.  Also, we are going to have more activities for both members and non-members.  Of note, we are having a special guest this May, (suggested by one of our sorors) who will introduce us to the meditative practice of Kirtan singing and to Bhakti yoga.  

One of our members wonders if there are fraters and or sorors who would like to carpool with her to a mystical weekend at Rosicrucian Park.  If you are interested, respond to this email at oregon@amorc.rosicrucian.org and I’ll forward your contact information to her. 

We have a subcommittee now planning what we are going to do for our annual Peace Day celebration.  We sent out a questionnaire in the email regarding this, asking which place you would prefer that we meet, so please let us know your answers within the next week.  Thank you.

Please make it a habit to check our website and our blog page for updates about every two weeks!  And look for our events on the Rosicrucian Community site or our Facebook and Meetup pages..

Enneadic Star Pronaos Meeting “Experiment in Vibroturgy” – April 28, 2024 2:00PM

Join us for the very fun experiment on Vibroturgy!

What is vibroturgy you may ask?  

Have you ever picked up something that belonged to someone else and got an impression as to who that person is?  

Well, that’s what Rosicrucians call vibroturgy.

“Broadly speaking, vibroturgy is an ability that consists of harmonizing oneself with the “memory’ of a place or an object.”   

Every time we’ve done this experiment in the past, members have had impressions of the people behind the objects that are wayyyyy beyond chance guesses.  

The Order has many many lessons to help you develop your intuition, and encourages you to practice your intuition often, so you gain confidence in it.  This is one more way you can tap the information that is in the vibrations around you.  This experiment explains scientifically, EXACTLY, how vibroturgy works and why you need to have been continuously developing your psychic centers.  

Please bring some piece of jewelry that is not gender specific that belongs to you or a loved one, and that is worn often.  

By this, we mean, no ring that is obviously for a woman, or a man.  It could be a small chain, a simple neutral ring that either a guy or a gal could have worn, a watch, or a lapel pin.  The Master will choose from the jewelry offered and use them in the experiment.  

First time members please arrive by 1:30 so we can show you around and things you need to know for the ritual.  

Address: 27350 Stafford Rd. Wilsonville, OR 97070

Schedule

1:00 PM Doors open

Enneadic Star Pronaos Presents a Sound Healing Workshop – Mar 2 and 3, 2024 (10am to 2pm)

On MARCH 2 and 3, Enneadic Star Pronaos presents a rare experience in Sound Healing. This workshop runs from 10 – 2pm, at Parkrose Lodge each day, with a catered Mediterranean-style meal at the end on Sunday. This event is open to members and non-members, so please bring your friends. If you plan to stay for the Sunday meal, please send us an email at oregon@amorc.rosicrucian.org with the count of the diners, BY THURS FEB 29th, so we can order enough food.

Sound healing is effective because we are at the most fundamental levels electrically charged, fluid based entities that are subject to the influence of vibrations that we encounter in our ambient medium. This is a scientific way of saying that sound healing works. Wouldn’t you like to learn how to use sound healing?

Our instructor is Courtney Sappington, who is certified in several healing modalities, including sound healing. No cost to attend, but please donate what you feel represents your gratitude for the presentation. Rosicrucians call this type of donation the principle of AMRA.Click here for directions to the event location (Parkrose Lodge, 812 NE 102nd Ave; Portland, OR 97220)

The Art of Radiating Love – Online Meeting – 1:00PM Pacific Time 02-10-2024

Greetings, Respected Members of AMORC.

Enneadic Star Pronaos invites you to join us for an online AMORC members-only event.

Please join us on Saturday Feb 10, 1:00 pm PST for an online program featuring a video entitled “The Art of Radiating Love”, based on the inspiring article of the same title by Gerard T. Lyle in the May 1979 issue of the Rosicrucian Digest. The video features Fr. Hugh McCague, a very learned and skilled speaker, who expands on the insights of that intriguing article and its call for us to radiate love as a way of life. What type of love is involved? How is the practice sustainable? How can we check if we are becoming proficient? How does the practice relate to metaphysical aid, the human aura, and the purpose of mysticism? Join us as we continue to explore Rosicrucian laws and principles and their application for Self-Mastery and harmonious living. Afterward, we’ll discuss our experiences with the guided meditation in this presentation, and our other experiences contacting and working from within the Celestial Sanctum.
