Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis

By Agni Lakshya

Introduction

The Rosicrucians are mystics who study the esoteric and scientific mysteries of our Universe. This blog is about the AMORC Rosicrucians specifically. This topic is near and dear to my heart as I am currently an initiate within this organization and study the mysteries of the Universe weekly. I have been a Rosicrucian in previous lifetimes, and my membership in this lifetime has a rather interesting and profound beginning.

After I met my partner in May 2021, we spent hundreds of hours talking on the phone as she lived 1,200 miles from where I was. It was a long-distance relationship but thrived as we both saw the Universe in the same way. I kept explaining to her about all the different aspects of reality I had learned through my meditations, and she listened intently, often agreeing with my assessment.

Her grandfather had been a Rosicrucian and affiliated with the Freemasons, as was she. I knew literally nothing about either organization, and she never shared much about either one. But one day in the summer of 2021, we were discussing all sorts of esoteric topics when she sent me a link to the AMORC Rosicrucians.

She told me I needed to look into it and consider joining. I asked why, and she coyly told me to check it out and I would know why. I took her advice and perused their site, learning what I could from their introductory material. It didn’t take long before my jaw dropped in pure awe at what I was reading. All this time, I had been professing Rosicrucian philosophy and teachings even though I knew nothing about the organization. How could this be?

Shortly after meeting my partner, I started having visions of both of us in Egypt, a sordid and generally illegal affair since she was royalty and I a humble initiate in the School of Mysteries. Though I mentioned the visions of Egyptian Hieroglyphs to her, I kept the knowledge of our love affair to myself in the beginning.

Nonetheless, I had memories of being an initiate in the School of Mysteries but had no idea about the relationship between that school and the current teachings of the Rosicrucians. So, let’s discover who the AMORC Rosicrucians are and why they are important to humanity’s future.

Ancient Egyptian Knowledge

The Rosicrucians trace their Theosophical teachings back to the Egyptian School of Mysteries, something I had been part of in a prior life. My foreknowledge of these teachings in 2021 was simply a manifestation of my prior life in Egypt, and my knowledge of incarnation at that time was limited at best. I had only recently begun to believe such a thing was possible.

Though my wife believed in incarnation because of prior life memories, I had no such memories and was deeply entrenched in the Judeo-Christian dogma I’d been raised within. You lived, you died, and you went to heaven or hell. Of course, I now know this to be false, but when you are indoctrinated with it your whole life, it is hard to let go.

Even when I met my partner in May 2021, I had no memories of prior lives. But then memories of Egypt surfaced, and it was the beginning of many revelations, many about lives where my partner and I had been together in the ancient past. We now know, this was no coincidence, and we were being set on a path–the very path that has created this blog.

After she gave me the link to the AMORC Rosicrucians website, I immediately joined. A quick perusal of their course topics, and I knew I had re-found my home. Here is a list of the topics:

There is 9 Temple Degrees, but it goes well beyond that once you have achieved this level of learning. As they say on their website, learning is a lifelong endeavor you continue until you pass on. It is a big Universe, and there is a lot to explore in the physical and metaphysical realms.

At this stage, I am in the First Temple Degree program even though I was talking about much higher degree topics with my partner while practicing very high degree meditation techniques, especially Kundalini. Nonetheless, I am persistent and will move up the ladder as prescribed, re-learning the knowledge I possessed in multiple lifetimes before.

In a sense, I am both a master and an initiate, and I also receive regular teachings from a Cosmic guide, but that is another blog entirely and independent from my Rosicrucian work. Suffice it to say, this is very esoteric knowledge, and only those prepared to remove the veil from their mind should embark on such a journey. However, it is a wonderful journey when you are ready.

History of AMORC

So, what is the story of this ancient organization? The following is a brief summary of the documentation available on their website concerning the origins of these teachings and orders. If you desire, you can read the full document.

The study of the Universal mysteries started around 1,500 BCE (Before Common Era). At that time, the word “mystery” represented secret wisdom. Over time, the mystery schools added an initiatory dimension to the wisdom they were teaching. The Order’s first member-students met in secluded chambers in magnificent temples and were initiated into the great mysteries.

Pharaoh Thutmose III (1500-1447 BCE) organized the first esoteric schools founded on the principles and methods similar to those of the AMORC today. Decades later, Pharaoh Amenhotep IV was initiated into the secret school, being the first monotheist who worshipped the sole deity he called Aton, represented by the solar disk. This monotheistic philosophy carried on through the millennia even though Egypt reverted back to their old religious beliefs after Amenhotep passed on.

Centuries later, Greek and Roman philosophers, such as Pythagoras, journeyed to Egypt and were initiated into the mystery schools, bringing this knowledge back to the Western world, where they propagated it through their own schools. The current name of the Order came much later.

In Europe, French philosopher, Arnaud, introduced the mystical teachings to France, and it quickly spread throughout Western Europe. It was often disguised by symbols or written into songs for fear of persecution by the tyrannical rulers and the Roman Catholic Church. Alchemy, another aspect of these teachings, had been preserved through the Arabs in the great Library at Alexandria.

The Knights Templar and European alchemists, in touch with the Arabs during the Crusades, brought much of this knowledge back to Western Europe, establishing a huge interest in Alchemy throughout Europe. The alchemists played a huge role in the early history of the Rosicrucian Order. Aside from the chemical aspects of alchemy, a large part of this transformative science was the transformation of the human character, a major part of the Rosicrucian teachings today.

During the 17th century Rennaissance, a mysterious German publication called Fama Fraternitatis renewed Rosicrucianism interest throughout Europe. It introduced a mythical character called Christian Rosenkreuz who had traveled to the Near East centers of learning, reviving the esoteric teachings. As part of this renewal, Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) directed the Rosicrucian Order and its activities in England and on the continent.

In 1694, Rosicrucian settlers made the perilous journey to America, landing in Philadelphia where they established the first community. They made valuable contributions to the emerging American culture and played a role in the founding of the new nation. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Payne were intimately connected with the Rosicrucian community. Many founding fathers were associated with Freemasons, also schooled in the esoteric arts of the ancient past.

As part of the Mysteries of the Templar Knights show on Gaia, the truth about the treasures and their role in the American Revolutionary War must also be partially the result of Rosicrucian influence, since they were intimately involved with the Brotherhood and those founding fathers of the United States of America. To all of them, this country is the New Jerusalem, or the New Atlantis they planned to create thousands of years before. A very storied history for a little-known Order.

Theosophical Teachings

Though the list I outlined above is their catalog of topics, it should be noted there exists a relationship between the Rosicrucians and the Masonic Brotherhoods of the Freemasons and the Knights Templar. In fact, Rosicrucians typically meet within local Masonic Lodges. What binds them all together is an overarching set of teachings which can best be described as similar to the Vedic texts of India. It is most certain the Egyptian were well aware of the Vedic Texts and integrated much of that knowledge into their own mystery schools.

As mentioned in my blog of the Knights Templar in Dec 2023, they believed in many of the Gnostic Christian teachings about Gnosis, a process of peering behind the veil to see that which was on the other side. They had a deep appreciation for the metaphysical aspects of our Universe and the Grand Architect which they believe created it all.

This Gnosis is translated into the Masonic Brotherhood and Rosicrucian teachings as part of the transformation of the human Soul, an eternal part of the Creator within all of us. Get in touch with that part of yourself, and the metaphysical planes of reality open up to you. This can be done through ceremony, meditation, and lifestyles that embrace aspects of the Divine within the physical realm we live.

This physical Universe is nothing more than energy and vibration. Change the vibratory nature of something and you transform it into something else. This works for all matter within this realm. But something even more important about energy and vibration is the effect consciousness has on it.

Psychic aspects of this reality are outlined within the teaching catalog above because it is something very real everyone can access. However, there are preparations to help you achieve greater access to these phenomena, thus why they are part of the teachings. Go far enough into these mysteries, and you can actually manifest the destiny you want for yourself and others. I have done it, and it works.

This is what many refer to as magick with a ‘k’ to separate it from the slight of hand showman use on stages to entertain. It is very real and allows one to manipulate the fabric of this reality which you now understand is nothing more than energy. What separates this energy from that of the ethereal realms is the density or vibratory nature.

Matter is the densest form of energy, thus why we believe it has substance even though that is an illusion. Everything you see and touch is mostly empty space.

Suppressing Esoteric Thinking

You can probably understand why the Roman Catholic Church suppressed this knowledge and persecuted everyone associated with it. It was considered witchcraft, demonic worship, or the tools of Satan, and for sure, these tools can be used for bad as well as good. Many have started down the path in the light of God, but were tempted by power and flesh, corrupting their Soul in the process.

You do not have to go very far to find examples of this throughout history, but that is not the Rosicrucians! We practice these things for the betterment of humanity with all respect paid to our Creator. Rosicrucianism is not a religion, but a philosophy steeped in the belief of a Universal Consciousness that created all, including the very nature of psychic phenomenon. This is the wisdom of the Universe.

This secret knowledge has been jealously guarded for thousands of years, and most of it derives from early teachings which emerged from Atlantis tens of thousands of years ago. When survivors of Atlantis rebuilt human civilizations after the Great Flood, they infused this secret knowledge into those civilizations, and now you can learn it today through many sources, including the Rosicrucians.

Travel to India and study within Ashrams, join the Knights Templar and become a Knight of Christ, or join any of the existing esoteric schools around the world and learn about your Universe. I mean the true Universe, not the false one most believe. It will change you in a profound way, and you will find your purpose in this lifetime just as I have. This blog is a part of my purpose.

My yoga practice, Kriya Serpent Yoga, contains Divine knowledge passed down through the centuries by the yogis of India and the Himalayas. Though my techniques integrate additional ET knowledge into the practice, a good deal originates from the yoga of India which came from the Atlanteans. Combine this ancient yoga with the Theosophical Teachings of the Rosicrucians, and you become a powerful, mystical Soul able to affect change in our world for the betterment of humanity.

This blog is an introduction to this knowledge transmitted through all these sources which stem from the original source in Atlantis. The Masonic Brotherhoods and the Rosicrucians have preserved this knowledge since the time of the pharaohs, and now you can learn it. All these organizations are well aware of the Atlanteans and their teachings which they preserved and built upon.

Start down the Rosicrucian path, and you will never be the same again. Ignore it, and you will continue to live within the delusion of your whole life. I am not recruiting for them specifically, but I am a member and have enjoyed my studies. But I am also a yogi, so I have esoteric knowledge from other sources. While I will not join the Masonic Brotherhoods, I do have relationships with them through a mutual friend and past lives.

Conclusion

Rosicrucians are an Order of Mystics with the express purpose of implementing Divine will for the betterment of humanity. Transforming the human character, a key teaching of the Order, is an essential building block for the evolution of humanity and this world. Without such knowledge, humanity might never have arisen from the animal kingdom to the civilization we enjoy today.

This knowledge was passed down over tens of thousands of years from the Atlanteans in the pre-diluvian epoch and re-learned from the survivors of Atlantis after the Great Flood. It was then secured within secretive orders, schools of mysteries, and Ashrams of the East, transferred only to those deemed worthy and ready for such Divine information.

Today, everyone can learn this knowledge if so inclined. It is not for everyone, but for those who undertake this journey, their life will never be the same, but will be filled with wonder and happiness. The Rosicrucians accept all men and women from all religious backgrounds, and there is no requirement other than an inquiring mind and a desire to help humanity grow to its full potential.

Their relationship with the Masonic Brotherhood should make you assume, to some degree, that they are also involved in the secretive missions of the Brotherhood. They share their mystical knowledge, and many are directly involved in both organizations. At the very least, they share the Masonic Lodges as places to meet and hold ceremony, a key part of the Brotherhood.

Since being told to write these very specific blogs back in September, I see a general trend forming within what I write. It is the story of ancient Atlantean knowledge passed down through the ages across the entire planet. It is coming back at this time in human history to prepare us for the next chapter in our evolution. You can either embrace it in this lifetime or live it in your next one. Either way, it is manifesting across our world right now.

Tune into this blog over the next six months for more revelations of the future that is coming soon. Then you can decide whether to hop aboard the esoteric train or miss out on the most profound events in human history! Next month, I will finish the Triad of the Masonic Affiliations by writing about the Freemasons.

Peace Profound (a Rosicrucian saying)
