Greetings, Respected Members of AMORC! Enneadic Star Pronaos presents Magical Egypt, Season 1, Episode 7 “Illumination” April 8, 2 pm. We invite you to join us for this online AMORC members-only event. https://rosicruciancommunity.org/events/enneadic-star-pronaos-presents-magical-egypt-season-1-episode-7 (scroll down the page to the event details) Twice a year, on the anniversary of the Ramses birth and coronation day, the rising sun penetrates the temple to illuminate the four gods of creation situated at its very core. As we witness this rare spectacle, we gain an understanding of the ancient temple, not just as a place of worship, but as an essential mechanism of the ancient magical practices. West is joined by bestselling author researcher Robert Bauval at the temple of Abu Simbel. We look at the temple, statuary, and hieroglyphs as examples of talismanic technology. Peace Profound, Enneadic Star Pronaos An Affiliated Body of AMORC PS – Here is the meeting time in several time zones Eastern – 5:00 PM Central – 4:00 PM Mountain – 3:00 PM Pacific – 2:00 PM

Saturday, March 18th, at the Esoterika Masonic Lodge, 10636 SE Main Street, Milwaukie, OR 97222

The ancient Arabic name for Egypt was “Khemet” or “The Black Land”. The western continuation of the Egyptian magical arts was called “Al-Khemet” meaning from the Black Land. This show explores the many modern incarnations of the ancient science of perfection and the transformation of the “materia prima” of the Alchemists. From Alchemy to Tarot, and the many esoteric and mystical societies existing today, they explore the hidden thread that connects modern and ancient magic.

2. All of Creation is permeated by a Universal Soul that evolves toward the perfection of its own nature.

A universal soul or rational principle, meaning mind, is everywhere present. In man it is what is called soul, the Stoics declared. In matter it is the natural laws by which it manifests.

Excerpt from Mental Alchemy by Imperator Ralph M. Lewis

Traditional mysticism may be reduced to these fundamental principles: the soul is the spiritual self of man; the soul is part of a
universal soul, a soul which permeates the entire universe. That soul is God. The material world and the physical body are the negative side of this positive, absolute soul, or God, which permeates the universe—a sort of imperfection, a falling off from the goodness; and when the soul is embodied in a physical form or body, man as a unity of both soul and body is not perfect. The body, the material, must be brought into harmony with the soul, the immaterial. Man will be confined to a body, in various lives, as long as he permits the temptations, the desires and appetites to dominate his nature. He must struggle to overcome them, to suppress them, to give himself over entirely to those spiritual urges within his own nature; these urges are the dictates of conscience which finds its expression in ethical, moral, and religious conduct.

Excerpt from The Santuary of Self by Imperator Ralph M. Lewis

Dear Fraters and Sorors,

Enneadic Star Pronaos would like you to know that we have found an extremely suitable meeting place in Portland, and propose that we move from meetings at Kenton Lodge, to meetings at Parkrose Lodge.  To that effect, we’ll have a short and focused business meeting by Zoom (and you can call in if you don’t do Zoom) on November 26th, at 3 pm.  

We have six reasons for this proposed move.  

1. The management of Kenton Lodge is difficult to contact, by phone, text or email and they have a history of making significant changes without informing us.
2. In 2020, they changed the building locks, and we were lucky that we had shown up way early to set up for a special event, and they could and did quickly make and deliver new keys to us.
3. Since 2020, the building has not been well maintained; we came to one meeting to find that they had not cleaned up the dining hall after themselves; they had to install powerful fans for a week to get the cigar smell out of the building; and the broken panel of glass in the front door that was broken in 2021 still has not been replaced.  Also, the custodians of the building were not very diligent.  Also, the elevator that our disabled members relied on to get to the top floors went out of service and has not been repaired.
4. In 2022, they moved items from our locked storage room without telling us they had done so, and it took us a week to find out what they had done with our materials.  
5. We contacted them in September about updating our lease and storing our items and they promised to have new leases for us soon.  In November we contacted them again for the leases and heard nothing.  Finally, after we found a new location, their building manager contacted us saying they had just now found new lease forms and were going to send them to us.  
6. The new location (Parkrose Lodge) charges half as much per meeting and would store our materials for free.  The Masons have been upgrading the building with new kitchen fixtures and appliances, adding wheelchair ramps in two locations, and it has ample space for our social events.   It is easily accessible by car, light rail and bus, and has ample on-street and off-street parking.  It has a working stair chair lift to move our disabled members upstairs to the temple.  And last but not least, the management is easy to contact and work with.

For these reasons, your officers urge you to support this proposed move.

You can ask us further questions at the zoom meeting.

Greetings, Respected Members of AMORC! Please join us on Saturday Nov 19, 2022, 3 pm PDT, for a zoom presentation of Magical Egypt, Season 1, Episode 2, the Old Kingdom and Older Kingdom Still! This series goes into scholarly depth about the magic, wisdom and science of ancient Egypt. “John Anthony West explores architectural anomalies and other evidence of an advanced civilization predating the ancient Egyptians. Across Egypt, the many architectural engineering artistic and scientific wonders still defy explanation. The mysterious Oserion appears to already have been an ancient ruin when it was “uncovered” by Seti I during the construction of the Temple of Abydos in the First Dynasty. New developments in the age of the sphinx? Debate. In the Cairo museum is a stella, which describes reparations to the great sphinx performed by the Father of the traditionally credited builder. Does the great sphinx conceal its date of construction in the age of Leo?” This meeting is for AMORC Members only.
