Our Master and Archivist are traveling to the International Rosicrucian Convention in Rome this August.  But some of the members on the convention trip have canceled on the spots on the Rosicrucian Tour of the Mystical History of Rome. That means there are a few openings.  If you have the means and that time, you can register for the tour here.

Visualize What You Can Do to Grow the Portland and Seattle Pronaoi

B8AXB8This is a visualization exercise for Rosicrucians in the Pacific Northwest Rosicrucian that will help us grow our groups in Portland and Seattle from a Pronaoi (a mid-sized group with four ritual officer positions) to a Chapter (a large group with nine ritual officer positions). Our goal for this Rosicrucian year 3372 is to rebuild the two pronaoi into larger entities in a way that will benefit all people.  The more people who visualize this, the faster it will happen.

Visualization is not just dreaming.  It is a tool that can dramatically assist your own efforts toward achievement.

Master Anjala’s Rosicrucian Tour of Egypt [Part 1]

FB_IMG_1447822401757.jpg

The following was written by Enneadic Star Pronaos Master Anajala about her recent trip to Egypt sponsored by and organized by the Grand Lodge.

As a member or non-member, the Rosicrucian tours offer insights into spiritual locations with practical lessons.  Inspired by our Grand Councilor who told my husband and me that if ever we could make the trip, the Rosicrucian tour of Egypt was astounding, and we should go, so, we listened to her.  My husband passed through transition before the next trip, but I went on the next tour.

Things you should know first:  The Rosicrucian Order has been leading member tours to Egypt since the 1930’s, and there are photos of members riding to the sites on camelback.   The Order sponsored Egyptian archeological digs and has established excellent relations with leading archeologists.  Because of this, our tour took us to a couple of sites that are off-limits to casual tourists.  And last but not least, the reason these sites are still standing is that, historically, Egypt got 1.5 inches of rain, A YEAR!  I share this with you because, while we were there, it rained for five days.  These magnificent monuments are slowly melting as the climate changes.  Go there sooner rather than later.

Convocation: Vowel Sound Therapy Series, Wilsonville, 2 pm 6/9/19

vibrational-energy

“Fratres and Sorores, vowel therapy should not be used for the sole aim of curing afflictions.  We can equally use vowel therapy in a preventative capacity to keep us in good health.”
—From this month’s discourse on vowel sounds

The next few convocations will focus on healing through vowel sounds.  Vowel sounds are a major focus of our practice, and like mantras, they are chanted in a way that allows us to benefit from their vibrational and energetic properties.

It would be good to review your 6th Degree Monographs on healing vowel sounds and techniques to prepare.

Here is an AMORC recording from 1972 of intonations of the vowel sounds inside the Kings Chambers of the Great Pyramid in Egypt. Continue reading “Convocation: Vowel Sound Therapy Series, Wilsonville, 2 pm 6/9/19”

Meditation: Visualize Being an AMORC Chapter

meditate-serene-calm
This is a meditation that members were led through at our convocation on on May 12, at the Wilsonville location.

We have stated that our Rosicrucian New Year’s Resolution is to grow our Pronaos into a Chapter. It’s a hugely ambitious goal, but it doesn’t mean much to member who have never experienced what an AMORC Chapter feels like. As we have stated, the Enneadic Star was once a Chapter. We already have the ritual items, officer robes and all that is required to restart the Chapter. But, we must have convocation attended by at least 30 members, three times in one year, in order to qualify to be reinstated as a Chapter.

This meditation is designed to help all members visualize a little bit of what attending convocation at a Chapter will be like.  The Pronaos is currently providing a thematic teaching on visualizations this year at convocation. MOST IMPORTANTLY: You can help the Pronaos grow to a Chapter by doing this visualization.

Rosicrucians, Ciphers and Francis Bacon the real author of Shakespeare’s Works?

cipher.stock.locks.jpg
[Original Research Submitted by Frater Clayton, Member AMORC, ESP, and Past Master]

Rosicrucians have long held up in Sir Francis Bacon as one of their historical leaders. Many Rosicrucians have also explored the idea that Bacon promoted the ideas of the enlightenment to the world as the secret author of the works of William Shakespeare. The notion that Bacon was behind Shakespeare’s writing is strongly supported by modern cipher sleuthing, including my own.

Portraits of Francis Bacon (left) and William Shakespeare (right). Were they one in the same?

This topic has been one of my longtime hobbies. I’ve written about it extensively on internet forums as well as my own Shakespeare Authorship blog. Much of what I’ve written on the cryptographic evidence is based on my own original research.

I am also a long time Rosicrucian and member of Enneadic Star Pronaos.
