re ceci s rosicrucian adventure tony alicia writes let s start with the name rosicrucian i took me a long time to come to the conclusion that there is a difference between a member of a rosicrucian body and being a rosicrucian so when you say that you met some rosicrucians you mean members of a group that calls themselves rosicrucian at least that is what your observation suggests response this makes much sense to me this is also true of most religions there is a difference between being a member of a group of people who call themselves hindus or christians or pagans and actually being any of these the social groups tend to make very important requirements about not belonging to other religions i find that the ideal described by the holy texts of most religions can be interpreted in very similar ways so that one could presume that mysticism is the core of every religion and huxley s perennial philosophy is the great secret core of all mystical trads tony i d prefer if you would have stated up front that it was the lectorium rosicrucianum only because they may be confused by some readers of this newsgroup with the rosicrucian order amorc based the usa jurisdiction in san jose ca this being the rc org with the most members last time i looked of course most members does not necessarily mean best response certainly true i didn t know there were any groups which called themselves rosicrucians that didn t associate with amorc sure i ve heard all the hubbub about the golden dawn and rosae crucis in relation to all these western esoteric groups but hadn t heard about other rosicrucians i ll admit my bias i live in san jose tony you ll have to trust me when i tell you that if that lecture class whatever had been presented by amorc it is unlikely that you would have had the same impression i e you d probably have had a positive impression more likely than a negative one imho response this may be slightly off i ve met some of these rosicrucians and have a couple friends in amorc the stories i ve heard and the slight contact i ve had with them does not give me the hope that i d be received with any kind of warm welcome i still like to think that most people who are involved with stratified relationships monogamy religion etc are in deep pain and hope to heal it within such a cast tony it is curious to know that other rc orders in the usa claim to be non sectarian response i d like to know at least the addresses of the other orders which call themselves rosicrucians and especially those which are nonsectarian is this nonsectarian like the masons who require that a member believe in god by his her definition tony i don t see nothing fundamentally wrong with us containing something divine and yes i don t like phrases like eternal bliss either response let alone us being something divine tony btw i have read the intro letters of the lrc which they will mail you free of charge response addresses phone numbers of groups i m into networking thanks will love imagination is more important than knowledge albert einstein thyagi nagasiva thyagi houseofkaos abyss com house of kaos ironwood dr san jose ca fr nigris on divination web telnet seismo soar cs cmu edu
