Dear Fraters and Sorors,
Our next in-person meeting on Sunday the 10th, at 1 pm, Parkrose Lodge, is the annual Open Convocation by Invitation.
This means INVITE SOME SEEKING FRIENDS TO JOIN YOU THERE! Pick them up and bring them with you!
We have had a nice sprinkling of new attendees, but we would like to have more! The more members, the cooler rituals we’ll be able to do!
The Discourse that we’ve chosen is a special one: The Imaginal World of the Ancient Egyptians. Here is a tantalizing quote from the discourse, which goes into much more esoterica than the usual discourse:
“If the Imaginal World is generally incomprehensible to rational Egyptologists, it is only because they want to explain everything from the logical point of view and not venture onto the tortuous paths of the irrational. As far as they are concerned, this world had no useful purpose other than to nourish the imagination of the Egyptian people and to give them hope of life in the hereafter.”
“As Rosicrucians, we look at the matter in a different way. We know in fact that there exists within us and outside of us a spiritual world that can be discovered, particularly by means of initiation. Furthermore, we are all familiar with the concept of the Celestial Sanctum as presented in Liber 777 (click to open PDF). This concept allows us to better understand the Imaginal World of the ancient Egyptians, because both worlds are constructed on the same principle.”
So, reading between the lines above, the Egyptians and the Rosicrucians have been using image – inal thinking in the spiritual world and initiating seekers into that deliberately constructed world. Just how has that been done? Come hear the rest of the discourse and join your fellow seekers and initiates!

If this will be your first time attending a Pronaos Convocation, please be present as soon as the doors open at 12:30 PM, so that our officers can show you around the site, and share with you some of the symbolism and acquaint you with the ritual to be performed.
