Climbing the Ladder of Love with Botticelli, Ficino, and the Goddesses

Past Imperator H. Spencer Lewis remarked that when he carefully analyzed “The Last Supper” fresco in Milan by Leonardo da Vinci, he noted at least seventeen mystical principles. Yet, he sensed there were even more important principles to fathom. In a similar manner, we will visit, in a mystical and virtual way, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and experience another Renaissance masterpiece: the “Primavera” painting by Sandro Botticelli. There are various interpretations and layers of meaning in this work. A sacred marriage and the mystical encounter with goddesses such as Venus and Persephone, akin to the Eleusinian and Orphic mysteries, appear as central features. A key is ascending the ladder of love by which the prophetess Diotima initiated Socrates in Plato’s dialogue, the Symposium, and as elaborated by the influential Florentine teacher and philosopher, Marsilio Ficino. Our guide Hugh McCague will take us on a journey discerning the many Rosicrucian laws and principles exemplified in this artistic masterwork.

Vestals – Caretakers of the Hearth

Colombes and Vestals are girls and women who serve in a very special role in Rosicrucian Temples. They are the caretakers of the hearth where the divine flame lives. Join Grand Master Julie Scott in exploring the history of this esteemed position and the mystical meaning of the hearth and the divine flame, including a special meditation to attune with the sacred flame within us.

Clemence Isaure [the Golden Isis] and the Founding of AMORC

In 1909 a young H. Spencer Lewis stood before a painting called “The Appearance of Clemence Isaure [the Golden Isis] to the Troubadours” in Toulouse, France, contemplating its mystical meaning when the Grand Master of the Rosicrucians of Toulouse presented himself and directed H. Spencer Lewis to the next step in his initiation into the Rosicrucian Tradition. In this presentation, Grand Master Julie Scott will take us back to H. Spencer Lewis’s inspiring initiation and the founding of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC.

We look forward to seeing you each Wednesday in May!

THIS SUNDAY, May 9, from 3pm Pacific Daylight Time to 4:15 pm, if you are a member of AMORC, you may join us in exploring the science and psychology of sound healing. This session builds on the information shared in Part 1 last month and on the previous sessions we’ve had on Rosicrucian Healing techniques. The second part of the presentation will address clinical and scientific considerations around vibrational healing and how we may be affected by it on multiple levels including the biological, quantum, and electromagnetic. We will explore the effects of an individual’s thoughts on their ability to recover from illness and injury. We will also dive deeper into exploring the vibrational fields that interact with our own, specifically those that trigger our tactile and auditory senses.

Register in advance for this meeting at the Rosicrucian Community Events page. You’ll need to have your member number to register.

PART 1

Please join us this Sunday, April 18, at 3 pm PST for the first part of an exciting online three-part series.

We will explore exoteric and esoteric concepts in physics, quantum physics, anatomy, physiology, and biology, as they relate to sound and sound healing.

We will share special information about the nature of sound, vibrations, solids and fluids, in preparation for putting the new knowledge into practice. 

Part 1, April 18th, the Physics of Sound covers the science behind sound healing. 

Come prepared for a robust discussion as is the Rosicrucian tradition- more than a Q & A; 

This will also be a time for sharing impressions and revelations. Please be willing to add additional information from your own research/studies, build on what is being said, and let the discussion grow and evolve. 

Following the presentations, we will post an annotated bibliography so that folks can continue their research and develop a deeper understanding of the concepts

SERIES TITLES:

The Fundamentals of Sound Healing

Part 1- The Physics of Sound

Part 2- Vibrational Frequencies for Healing  May 9, 3 pm

Part 3- Rosicrucian Sound Healing Techniques, June 19, SATURDAY, 3 pm

Members may join this discussion by finding the Zoom link for the event on the Rosicrucian Community events page.

Sunday, February 21, 3:00 pm, we will be following up on our theme from last month’s look at the relationship between the physical and the psychic body, and their bearing on spiritual development. We will study an article introducing the role of the endocrine glands and the sympathetic nervous system as it relates to psychic consciousness and health.

The article for the month is titled “General Points on the Role of the Endocrine Glands” by Paul DuPont, MD, FRC and is found in the Rosicrucian Digest, Vol 97, Number 2, 2019. The article is an excerpt from the 2012 book, The Endocrine Glands and Your Health.

We will first focus on the introduction, then the section called ‘The Glands and the Sympathetic System’.

We also invite you to review your monographs on the subject of the psychic body, psychic centers and glands, and the sympathetic (also autonomic) nervous system. Building an understanding of their operations is very helpful for subsequent work in psychic development and Rosicrucian healing techniques. As always, we will welcome your participation in this fascinating and vital subject!

For 5 minutes we settle in with introductions

10 minutes of meditation

10 minutes of discourse (lecture)

15 minutes of discussion and Q & A among members

If you would like to join, email us with your name and member number at oregon@amorc.rosicrucian.org and we’ll send you the zoom link.

Join us this Sunday for a Zoom call to discuss these important topics!

Significant portions of our studies are devoted to the understanding of the psychic body, its faculties, and its role in our spiritual development. This is not without reason, as this understanding is foundational to much of the other work that we Rosicrucians pursue, which includes, but is not limited to, the development of the psychic centers, the practice of Rosicrucian healing techniques, and projection of the physic body.

An article titled ‘The Physical Body and The Psychic Body’ (Rosicrucian Forum, 1999, Vol. 69, No. 3) will set the stage for this month’s online session. This article presents Rosicrucian knowledge about the relationship between the physical and the psychic body and serves as a wonderful primer for further exploration into this subject. 

We hope that you are able to find some time in the coming days to review your studies on this fascinating and important topic, to consider experiences you may have had as a result of your practice of the exercises offered in the lessons, and to even prepare some questions you may want to bring to the discussion.

Sunday, September 27th, 3 pm. PST

We are all familiar with the word thought and its basic meaning. The terms thought and think are constant fixtures in our everyday speech indicating that thought is a critical faculty of our daily functioning. However, what do we know of its actual attributes, capabilities, and the implications of developing a profound ability to harness the power of thought?

For our September Zoom meeting we will read an article by Past Imperator Ralph M Lewis titled ‘Light and Thought Waves’ (Rosicrucian Forum, 1966, Vol 37 No 3). In this article, Fr. Lewis examines the principle of thought from the perspective of physics, namely speed and transmission rate. He contrasts thought with the known physical attributes of light and cites results from Rosicrucian research into the attributes of thought and thought transmission.

In preparation for our meeting, we invite you to reflect and meditate on the nature of thought. Some questions you may ask yourself are:

Is thought an energy? Can thought travel faster than light?

Does thought differ from light as understood in physics?

Are there space-time restrictions that thought itself may be subject to?

This session will be the first of a two-part series on the subject of thought. October will continue with a study of thought projection as examined by Past Imperator H. Spencer Lewis.

Best wishes for Peace Profound!
