Chapter 44

Chapter X, the candidate has acquired first-hand knowl-

✦

edge upon this subject and has come into direct touch with
the Creative Hierarchies in their work with and upon man ;
he is therefore able to appreciate their beneficent labors in
the World and is in a measure able to range himself in line
with them ; becoming thus far their co-worker.

When the time has arrived for him to take the second
degree, he is similarly caused to turn his attention to the
conditions of the second Eevolution of the Earth-Period,
and as depicted in the memory of nature ; then he watches
in full consciousness the progress made at that time by the
Virgin Spirits, much as Peter Ibbettson — the hero of a
book, "Peter Ibbettson," by George du Maurier; it is well
worth reading, for it is a graphic description of certain
phases of subconsciousness — watched his child-life during
the nights when he "dreamed true." In the third degree he
follows the evolution of the third or Moon, Revolution, and
in the fourth degree he sees the progress made in the half-
Revolution we have made of the fourth.

There is, however, a further step taken in each degree;
the pupil sees in addition to the work done in each revolu-
tion also the work accomplished in the corresponding Epoch
during our present stay upon globe D, the Earth.

During the first degree he follows the work of the Saturn

THE ORDER OF ROSICRUCIANS 537

Revolution and its latest consummation in the Polarian
Epoch.

In the second degree he follows the work of the Sun
Revolution and its replica : the Hyperborean Epoch.

During the third degree he watches the work as per-
formed in the Moon-Revolution and sees how that was the
basis of life in the Lemurian Epoch.

During the fourth degree he sees the evolution of the
last half-Revolution with its corresponding period of time
in our present stay on Earth ; the first half of the Atlantean
Epoch which ended when the dense foggy atmosphere sub-
sided, and the sun first shone upon land and sea ; then the
night of unconsciousness was over, the eyes of the indwell-
ing Ego were fully opened, and he was able to turn the
Light of Reason upon the problem of conquering the World.
That was the time when a man as we now know him was
first-born.

When in the olden systems of initiation we hear that the
candidate was entranced for a period of three and one-half
days, reference is had to the part of initiation just described,
and the three and one-half days refer to the stages gone
through, they are not by any means days of twenty-four
hours; the actual time varies with each candidate, but in
all cases he is taken through the unconscious development
of mankind during the past Revolutions, and when it is
said that he is awakened at the time of sunrise on the
fourth day that is the mystical way of expressing that his
initiation into the work of the involutionary career of man
ceases at the time when the sun rose above the clear atmos-
phere of Atlantis. Then the candidate is also hailed as a
"first-born."

Having become familiar with the road we have traveled
in the past, the fifth degree takes the candidate to the very

528 KOSICEUC'IAN COSMO CONCEPTION

end of the Earth Period, when a glorious humanity is gath-
ering the fruits of this Period and taking it away from the
seven globes upon which we evolve during each day of mani-
festation, into the first of the five dark globes which are
our habitation during the Cosmic nights. The densest of
these is located in the Eegion of Abstract Thought, and is
in reality the "Chaos" spoken of on page 249 and the fol-
lowing pages. This globe is also the Third Heaven, and
when Paul speaks of being caught up into the Third
Heaven and of seeing things there which he could not law-
fully reveal, he was referring to the experiences of an
equivalent of this fifth degree in the present Rosicrucian
Mysteries.

After being shown the end in the fifth degree, the candi-
date is made acquainted with the means whereby that end
is to be attained during the remaining three and one-half
Revolutions of the Earth Period; the four remaining de-
grees being devoted to his enlightenment in that respect.

By the insight he has thus acquired he is able to intelli-
gently co-operate with the Powers that work for Good, and
thus he will help to hasten the day of our emancipation.

In order to rout a common misconception we wish to
make clear to students that we are not Rosicrucians because
we study their teachings, nor does even admission to the
temple entitle us to call ourselves by that name. The
writer, for instance, is only a lay-brother, a pupil, and would
under no circumstances call himself a Rosicrucian.

We know well, that when a boy has graduated from
grammar school he is not therefore fitted to teach. He
must first go through high school and college, and even
then he may not feel the call to be a school teacher.
Similarly in the school of life, because a man has grad-
uated from the Rosicrucian Mystery School he is not even

THE ORDER OF ROSICRUC1ANS 539

then a Rosicrucian. Graduates from the various schools of
the lesser mysteries advance into five schools of the greater
mysteries. In the first four they pass the four Great Ini-
tiations and at last reach the Liberator, where they receive
a knowledge concerning other evolutions and are given the
choice of remaining here to assist their brothers or enter
other evolutions as Helpers. Those who elect to stay here
as helpers are given various positions according to their
tastes and natural bent. The Brothers of the Rose Cross
are among those Compassionate Ones, and it is a sacrilege to
drag the Rosicrucian name in the mire by applying it to our-
selves when we are merely students of their lofty teachings.

During the past few centuries the Brothers have worked
for humanity in secret; each night at midnight there is a
Service at the temple where the Elder Brothers, assisted
by the lay-brothers who are able to leave their work in the
World (for many of them reside in places where it is yet
day when it is midnight in the location of the temple of the
Rose Cross), gather up from everywhere in the Western
World the thoughts of sensuality, greed, selfishness and
materialism. These they seek to transmute into pure love,
benevolence, altruism and spiritual aspirations sending
them back to the World to uplift and encourage all Good.
Were it not for this potent source of spiritual vibration
materialism must long ago have totally squelched all spir-
itual effort, for there has never been a darker age from the
spiritual standpoint than the last three hundred years of
materialism.

Now the time has come, however, when the method of
secret endeavor is to be supplemented with a more direct
effort to promulgate a definite, logical and sequential teach-
ing concerning the origin, evolution and future develop-
ment of the World and man; showing both the spiritual

530 ROSICRUCIAN COSMO CONCEPTION

and the scientific aspect; a teaching which makes no state-
ments that are not supported by reason and logic; a
teaching which is satisfying to the mind, for it holds out a
reasonable solution to all mysteries; it neither begs nor
evades questions and its explanations are both profound
and lucid.

But, and this is a very important "But," the Rosicrucians
do not regard an intellectual understanding of God and the
Universe as an end in itself; far from it ! The greater the
intellect, the greater the danger of its misuse. Therefore,
this scientific, logical and exhaustive teaching is given in
order that man may believe in his heart that which his head
has sanctioned and start to live the religious life.

THE BOSICRUCIAN FELLOWSHIP.

In order to promulgate this teaching the Rosicrucian
Fellowship has been formed, and anyone who is not a
HYPNOTIST, professional MEDIUM, CLAIRVOYANT, PALMIST
or ASTROLOGER, may enroll as a Student by writing to the
General Secretary. There is no fee for Initiation, or dues.
Money cannot buy our teaching, advancement depends on
merit.

When a student of the Rosicrucian teachings has become
so imbued with the verity thereof, that he is prepared to
sever his connection with all other occult or religious or-
ders— the Christian Churches and Fraternal Orders are
excepted — he may assume the Obligation which admits him
to the degree of Probationer.

We do not mean to insinuate by the foregoing clause
that all other schools of occultism are of no account — far
from it — many roads lead to Rome, but we shall attain
with much less effort if we follow one of them than if we

THE ORDER OF ROSICRUCIANS 531

zigzag from path to path. Our time and energy are limited
in the first place, and are still further curtailed by family
and social duties not to be neglected for self-development.
It is to husband the minim of energy which we may legiti-
mately expend upon ourselves, and to avoid waste of the
scanty moments at our disposal, that resignation from all
other Orders is insisted upon by the leaders.

The world is an aggregate of opportunities, but to take
advantage of any one of them we must possess efficiency in
a certain line of endeavor. Development of our spiritual
powers will enable us to help or harm our weaker brothers.
It is only justifiable when efficiency in Service of Humanity
is the object.

The Rosicrucian method of attainment differs from other
systems in one especial particular: It aims, even at the
very start, to emancipate the pupil from dependence upon
others, to make him Self-Reliant in the very highest degree,
so that he may be able to stand alone under all circum-
stances and cope with all conditions. Only one who is
thus strongly poised can help the weak.

When a number of people meet in a class or circle for
self-development along Negative lines, results are usually
achieved in a short time on the principle that it is easier
to drift with the tide than to breast the current. The
medium is not master of his actions, however, but the
slave of a spirit control. Hence such gatherings must be
shunned by Probationers.

Even classes which meet in positive attitude of mind are
not advised by the Elder Brothers, because the latent powers
of all members are massed and visions of the inner worlds
obtained by anyone there, are partly due to the faculties
of others. The heat of coal in the center of a fire is en-
hanced by surrounding coals, and the clairvoyant produced

532 EOSICKUCIAN COSMO CONCEPTION

in a circle, be it ever so positive, is a hot-house plant, too
dependent himself to be trusted with the care of others.

Therefore each Probationer in the llosicrucian Fellow-
ship performs his exercises in the seclusion and privacy of
his room. Results may be obtained more slowly by this
system, but when they appear, they will be manifest as
powers cultivated by himself, useable independently of all
others. Besides, the Eosicrucian methods build charade r
at the same time as they develop spiritual faculties and thus
safeguard the pupil against yielding to temptation to pros-
titute divine powers for worldly prestige.

When the Probationer has complied with the necessary
requirements and completed the term of probation, he may
send request for individual instruction by the Elder Broth-
ers through the General Secretary.

When this request has been granted the Probationer be-
comes a Disciple and is gradually fitted for work as an In-
visible Helper.

THE OBDER OF RO3ICRUCIANS 533

from tfje &o*e Cross;

The Rosicrucian Fellowship has, among other activities,
a correspondence course of monthly letters and lessons for
Student a. The lessons are contained in little pamphlets
entitled "Rays from the Rose Cross/' and bound in durable
paper covers with our beautiful symbolical cover design.
In the letters Mr. Heindel takes up and emphasizes points
in the lesson, which is thus thoroughly impressed upon the
consciousness of the Student.

There is also an advanced correspondence course open to
Probationers to help them derive the greatest possible bene-
fit from their exercises and advance them upon the path to
Discipleship.

Upon request, the General Secretary Rosicrucian Fellow-
ship (Esoteric Section), P. 0. Box 866, Ocean Park, Cal.,
will send application blank for the elementary correspond-
ence course to anyone who wishes to study the Rosicrucian
teachings directly with Mr. Heindel. When that is filled
out and returned, the applicant's name will be placed upon
Mr. Heindel's correspondence list and he will receive the
letters and lessons in due time.

These letters and lessons are not sold, the Rosicrucian
teachings are free, but the expenses incidental to their pro-
duction and distribution are met by free will offerings from
grateful students according to ability. From one comes
"the widow's mite," from another a munificent donation,
but all receive the same teaching and attention irrespective
of whether they are able to contribute or not.

534 EOSICEUCIAN COSMO CONCEPTION

THE SYMBOLISM OF THE ROSE CROSS

When inquiring into the meaning of any myth, legend or
symbol of occult value, it is an absolute necessity that we
should understand that, like any object in the three-dimen-
sional world may, or rather must, be viewed from all points
to obtain a full and complete comprehension thereof, so all
symbols have a number of aspects. Each viewpoint reveals
a different phase from the others, and all have an equal
claim to consideration.

Viewed in its fullness, this wonderful symbol contains
the key to man's past evolution, his present constitution
and future development, together with the method of attain-
ment. In the form where it is represented with a single
rose in the center it symbolizes the spirit radiating from
itself the four vehicles: the dense, vital and desire-bodies
plus the mind ; where the spirit has drawn into its instru-
ments and become the indwelling human spirit. But there
was a time when that condition did not obtain, a time when
the three-fold spirit hovered above its vehicles and was un-
able to enter. Then the cross stood alone without the rose,
symbolizing the condition which prevailed in the early
third of Atlantis. There was even a time when the upper
limb of the cross was lacking and man's constitution was
represented by the Tau (T) that was in the Lemurian

THE ORDER OF ROSICRUC1ANS 535

epoch when he had only the dense, vital and desire bodies,
but lacked the mind. Then the animal nature was para-
mount. Man followed desire without reserve. At a still
earlier time, in the Hyperborean Epoch, he was also minus
desire-body and possessed only of the dense and vital bodies.
Then man-in-the-making was like the plants: chaste and
devoid of desire. At that time his constitution could not
have been represented by a cross. It was symbolized by a
straight shaft, a pillar (I).

This symbol has been considered phallic, an emblem
showing the licentiousness of the people who worshipped it.
Truly it is a symbol of generation, but generation is by no
means synonymous with degradation — for from it — the pil-
lar is the lower limb of the cross, symbolical of man-in-the-
making when he was plantlike. The plant is unconscious of
passion, desire, innocent of evil. It generates and perpetu-
ates its species in a manner so pure, so chaste, that, prop-
erly understood, it is a model for fallen and passionate
humanity to worship as an ideal and it was given to earlier
races with that intent. The Phallus and Yona used in the
Greek mystery temples were given by the hierophants in
that spirit, and over the temple was placed the enigmatical
words: "Man, know thyself," which, properly understood,
is similar to the Eose Cross, for it shows the reason for
man's fall into desire, passion and sin, and gives the key to
his liberation, in the same way that the roses upon the cross
indicate the path of liberation.

The plant is innocent, but not virtuous; it has netiher
desire nor choice. Man has both. He may follow desire or
not as he wishes, that he may learn to master himself.

While he was plant-like, a hermaphrodite, he could gen-
erate from himself without the help of another, but though
he was as chaste and as innocent as the plants, he was also

536 ROSICRUCIAN COSMO CONCEPTION

as unconscious and inert. In order to advance he must
have desire to spur him on, and a mind to guide him, and
therefore half his creative force was retained for the pur-
pose of huilding a brain and a larynx. He had at that
time a round shape similar to that of the embryo, and
the present larynx was a part of the creative organ which
adhered to the head when the body straightened out. The
connection between the two is seen even today in the fact
that the boy, who expresses the positive pole of the gener-
ative force, changes his voice at puberty. That the same
force which builds another body when it is sent outwards
builds the brain when retained is equally clear when we con-
sider that sex-mania leads to insanity, while the profound
thinker will feel little inclination for amorous practices.
He uses all his creative force to generate thought instead
of wasting it in sense-gratification.

At the time when man commenced to withhold half his
creative force for the above-mentioned purpose, his con-
sciousness was directed inwards to build organs. He was
capable of seeing these organs and he used the same creative
force then under the direction of Creative Hierarchies in
planning and in executing plans of organs, that he now
uses in the outer world to build airships, houses, automo-
biles, telephones, etc. Then he was unconscious of how that
half of the creative force was used which was sent outwards
for generation of another body.

Generation was carried on under the guidance of Angels.
At certain times of the year they herded the growing man
together in great temples and there the generative act was
performed. Man was unconscious of the fact. His eyes
had not yet been opened, and though it was necessary for
him to have a partner who had the half or other pole of the
creative force available for generation which he retained to

THE OEDER OF EOSICBUCIANS 537

build organs within, he did not at first know his wife. In or-
dinary life he was shut within himself so far as the Physical
World was concerned, but it was different when he was
brought into such intimate and close touch with another, as
in the case in the generative act. Then for the moment the
spirit pierced the veil of flesh and Adam knew his wife. He
had ceased to know himself — thus his consciousness became
more and more and more centered outside himself in the
outside world and he lost his inner perception. That can-
not be fully regained until he has passed to the stage where
it is no longer necessary to have a partner in generation,
and he has reached the development where he can again
utilize his whole creative force at will. Then he will again
know himself as he did during his stage of plant-like ex-
istence, but with this all-important difference that he will
use his creative faculty consciously, and will not be re-
stricted to using it solely for the pro-creation of his own
species, but may create whatever he will. Neither will he
use his present organs of generation, but the larynx will
speak the creative word as directed by the spirit through the
co-ordinating mechanism of the brain. Thus the two or-
gans built by half the creative force will in time be the
means whereby man will eventually become an independent
self-conscious creator.

Even at the present time man molds matter both by
thought and voice, as instanced in scientific experiments
where thoughts have created an image on photographic
plates, and where the human voice has created geometrical
figures in sand, etc. In proportion as man becomes unselfish
he will release the creative force held in leash. That will
give him added thought power and enable him to utilize it
for upliftment of others instead of to plan how to degrade
and subject others to his will. He will learn how to master

538 ' HOSICBUCIAN COSMO CONCEPTION

himself and cease to try to master others, except it be done
temporarily for their good, but never for selfish ends. Only
one who has mastered himself is qualified to rule others,
and competent to judge when that should be done, and
what is best for them.

Thus we see that in time the present passionate mode of
generation will be again superceded by a pure and more
efficient method than the present, and that also is symbol-
ized in the Eose Cross where the rose is placed in the center
between the four arms. The long limb represents the body,
the two horizontals, the two arms and the short upper limb,
the head. The the rose is in place of the larynx.

The rose, like any other flower, is the generative organ
of the plant. Its green stem carries the colorless, passion-
less plant-blood. The blood-red rose shows the passion filled
blood of the human race, but in the rose the vital fluid is
not sensuous, it is chaste and pure. Thus it is an excellent
symbol of the generative organ in the pure and holy state
to which man will attain when he has cleansed and purified
his blood from desire, when he has become chaste, pure and
Christ-like.

Therefore the Eosicrucians look ardently forward to the
day when the roses shall bloom upon the cross of humanity,
therefore the Elder Brothers greet the aspiring soul with
the words of the Eosicrucian Greeting: "May the Eoses
bloom upon your Cross," and therefore the greeting is given
in the meetings of the Fellowship Centers by the leader to
the assembled students, probationers and disciples who re-
spond to the greeting by saying "And on yours, also."

John speaks of his purification (1st epistle, iii, 9) and
says that he who is born of God cannot sin, for he keepeth
his seed within him. It is an absolute necessity to progress
that the aspirant should be chaste. Yet it must also be

THE OBDER OF EOSICRUCIANS 539

borne in mind, that absolute celibacy is not required of man
until he has reached a point where he is ready for the great
initiations, and that it is a duty we owe to the whole to per-
petuate the race. If we are mentally, morally, physically
and financially able, we may approach the act of generation
as a holy sacrifice laid upon the altar of humanity, but not
for sensual pleasure. Neither should it be performed in an
austere, forbidding frame of mind, but in glad giving up of
oneself for the privilege of furnishing a friend seeking in-
carnation with the body and environment he needs for
development. Thus we shall also help him cultivate the
blooming roses upon his cross.

Important Notice.

The Index is arranged with particular view to facilitate
topical study, but at the same time alphabetical order has
been adhered to as nearly as possible. We add an alpha-
betical list of the words indexed.

Opposite each word in this list will be found a number,
which refers to a page in the Index. On that page the
word is grouped with others pertaining to the same topic.

The student is particularly requested to note the con-
secutive arrangement of references. For instance, under
the heading, "Vital Body" the first reference tells where
that vehicle had its first inception, the last directs to a page
whicty treats of its final spiritualization, and the inter-
vening references point in orderly succession to the places
where its gradual unfoldment is described. These refer-
ences, in themselves, form an excellent syllabus of the
vital body.

By diligent and intelligent use of this index the Rosi-
crucian Cosmo Conception will be found a most complete
and exhaustive reference library, and we recommend
students to study the index as much as the book. The

540

ROSICRUCIAN COSMO CONCEPTION

mere reading of references will often clear comprehension
of a subject and reveal much that is hidden in a general
reading of the book.

Vital body is in its third stage of evolution 75, 76

It is rooted in the spleen. Through that organ the vital

body specializes solar energy 63, 68

The vital body is built of "points" which penetrate the

dense atoms and raise their vibrations 61

The Becording Angels direct its construction at present so

that man may reap what be sows 135

A separate vital body is necessary to growth and assimila-
tion 57,58

It serves to give shape to the dense body during antenatal

life 60, 137

Vital body is born at 7th year; causing growth 141

Under normal conditions it remains imbedded in dense

body from birth to death 61

The chemical, life, light and reflecting ethers in vital body

are ripened successively 143

The vital body is of opposite sex or polarity to the dense

body 61

Lemurian girls developed memory first on account of

having a positive vital body 280

The vital bodies of plant and animal are differently con-
stituted from the human vehicle 58, 59

Among animals it is not concentric with the dense body

DESIKEBODY.

Given in the Moon Period by Lords of Individuality 215

It is now in second stage of its evolution 76

In latter part of Lemurian and early part of Atlantis
some desirebodies divided into higher and lower parts
thus they became fit to harbor a human Ego. . . .235, 395

These dense bodies assumed an upright walk which

emancipated them from rule of groupspirit 86, 236

Desirebody of man has now incipient sense centers 67

The Lords of Mind linked mind to higher part of desire-
body and implanted separate selfhood 243

The undivided desirebodies crystallized their dense ve-
hicles which have degenerated to anthropoids. . . .236, 243

The Archangels work in those, also in the lower part of

the human desirebody, giving passion 236, 243

Desirebodies of animals are not concentric with dense

body and otherwise differently constituted 65, 77

Only those bodies which have red blood and a liver can

have a separate desirebody 69

In coldblooded animals groupspirit forces currents of de-
sire inwards through liver 69

The separate spirit which dwells in warm red blood forces

its desire currents outwards through liver 69

Thus the liver is the root of the desirebody 68

The desirebody has its particular field of operation in

the voluntary nerves and muscles 455

Its operations in the spleen produce white bloodcor-

puscles 435

Material for new desirebody is gathered by Ego prior to

each birth 134

It is born at 14 when the life ether of the vital body is

ripe and the child becomes adolescent 142, 143

The constant war between desirebody and vital body pro-
duces our waking consciousness 455

Desirebody is temporarily withdrawn during sleep 93

EGO. (See Human Spirit.)

The Ego is a Virgin Spirit involved in a threefold veil
of matter which obliterates its original divine con-
sciousness and engenders the illusion of a separate

self 216

During Involution it brooded unconsciously over the

evolving form, separate and apart therefrom 235

In later Lemuria desirebody divided and dense body as-
sumed upright walk. Then Ego commenced to

enter 236, 394

Atlantis 294

Now the Ego is entirely in physical world while it lives

its earth life 71, 77, 95

Mars polarized the iron until Atlantis so that warm blood
could not be generated. Thus the Ego was pre-

MARRIAGE.

Marriage and generation both a duty and a privilege... 468

But not a license to unbridled indulgence 471

Formerly Race Spirits commanded marriage in the family

to'strengthen the "tie of blood" 353

Later international marriages were insisted upon to
emancipate the individual from race, kin and

country 355

Under the former regime the common blood produced in
each member of family pictures of their common an-
cestors (second sight), thus intensifying feeling of

kinship 354

The Race Spirit is a "jealous God". He cuts off all

who marry outside of race 310, 335

EPILOGUE.

l?*alittg JJutorr

It is an undeniable truth that "man is" of few days and full
of trouble, and among all the vicissitudes of life none has such
power to turn us towards God as bodily affliction. We may see
ourselves reduced to poverty at a turn of the market; we may
lose our friends and social standing and become outcasts with
more or less equanimity, but when we lose our health the strongest
and staunchest heart begins to falter. Realizing human impotence,
and powerfully moved by pressing need, we are more ready to
turn for succor to the divine power, and the more severely we
have been smitten the more importunately do we beseech God to
aid. Nothing can cause us to pray so fervently as bodily pain.

Therefore the priestly office has always been closely connected
with healing. Among savages the priest was also "medicine
man;" in ancient Greece the temple of /Esculapius was renowned
for cures wrought there; Christ, in His day healed the sick. The
early Church followed the practice, as apparent from the epistles,
and certain Catholic orders have continued the endeavor to assuage
pain through the centuries which have intervened between that
time and the present day.

In modern times the tendency has been to divorce the spiritual
comforter from ministering also to the ailing body. Since then
the close touch and warm sympathy between priest and parishioner
has been lost, and both are poorer in consequence. Formerly, in
times of sickness, the "good father" came as a representative
of our Father in heaven. Probably he was unskilled in comparison
to our modern physicians, but, if he was a true and holy priest,
his heart would be warm with love and his ministration* more
potent because of the patient's faith in his priestly office, and

599

600 ROSICRUCIAN COSMO CONCEPTION

after recovery his patient would also be his friend and take
counsel of him concerning spiritual things, as he never does where
the offices of priest and physician are divorced.

It is not to be denied that the double office gave the incumbents
a most dangerous power over the people, and that that power was
at times abused. It is also patent that the art of medicine has
reached a stage of efficiency which could not have been attained
save by devotion to that one particular end and aim. The safe-
guards of sanitary laws, the extinction of insect carriers of dis-
ease and consequent immunity, are monumental testimonies to the
value of modern scientific methods. Thus it may seem as if all
were well and no need of writing upon the subject, but in reality,
until humanity as a whole enjoys perfect health, there is no issue
more important than the question : How may we attain and main-
tain health?

In addition to the regular school of surgery and medicine,
which depends exclusively upon physical means for the cure of
disease, other systems have sprung up which depend entirely on
mental healing. It is the custom of organizations which advocate
"mind cure," "nature cure" and other like methods to hold
"experience meetings," and publish journals with testimonials
from thousands of grateful supporters who have benefited by
their "treatments," and if physicians of the regular school did
likewise there would be no lack of similar testimonials to their
efficiency.

The opinion of thousands is of great value, but it does not
absolutely prove anything, for other thousands may hold an
opposite opinion, and occasionally a single man may be right and
the rest of the world wrong, as when Galileo maintained that the
earth moved. Today the whole world has been converted to the
opinion for which he was slain as a heretic, and we assert that,
as man is a composite being, cures are successful only in propor-
tion as they remedy defects on the physical, moral and mental
planes of being, and we also maintain that results may be obtained
more easily at certain times when stellar rays are propitious to
healing of the particular disease from which the sufferer is ailing.
Or diseases can be treated more successfully at any time by reme-
dies previously prepared under auspicious conditions than by giv-
ing the same remedy compounded under unfavorable constellations.

It is well known to modern physicians that the condition of the

EPILOGUE 601

blood — and therefore of the whole body — changes in sympathy
with the state of the mind, and the more he uses suggestion as
an adjunct to medicine the more successful he is. Few perhaps
credit the further fact that both our mental and physical condition
is influenced by planetary rays which change as the planets move,
and yet — in these days since the principle of radio-activity has been
established — we know that everybody projects into space number-
less little particles. Wireless telegraphy has taught us how etheric
waves travel swiftly and surely through trackless space and
operate a key according to our will. We also know that the rays
of the sun affect us differently in the morning, when its rays
strike us horizontally, and at noon, when they are perpendicular.
If light rays from the swift moving sun produce physical and
mental changes may not the persistent ray of slower planets also
have an effect! If they have they are factors in health not to be
overlooked by a thoroughly scientific healer.

Disease is a manifestation of Ignorance, the only sin, and
Healing is a demonstration of applied knowledge, which is the
only salvation. Christ is an embodiment of the Wisdom principle,
and in proportion as the Christ is formed in us we attain to health.
Therefore the healer must be spiritual, and endeavor to imbue his
patient with high ideals so that he may eventually learn to con-
form to God's laws, which govern the universe, and thus attain
permanent health in future lives as well as now.

But "faith without works is dead." If we persist in living
under unsanitary conditions faith will not save us from typhoid,
but when we apply preventatives of proper kind and remedies in
sickness we are really showing our faith by works.

Like other mystery orders the Eosicrucians have also aimed
to help humanity in attainment of bodily health, and it has been
written in various works that members of the Order took a vow
to heal others free of charge, but like all other previous so-called
"revelations" this statement is somewhat garbled. The lay
brothers take a vow to MINISTER to all according to the best of
their ability FREE OF CHARGE. The vow included healing, of course,
for such men as Paracelsus, who possesed that ability, and by the
combined method of physical remedies, applied under favorable
stellar rays and spiritual counsel, he was successful in all cases.
Others were not suited to be healers but labored in other direc-
tions, but all were alike in one particular: they never charged for

602 BOSICBUCIAN COSMO CONCEPTION

their services, and they labored in secret without flourish of
trumpet or sound of drum.

During the past three years we have worked assiduously to write,
publish and orally disseminate the Eosicrucian teachings. They
have reached the most remote corners of the earth in a year and
a half and are now studied from South Africa to the Arctic
Circle and beyond. We have also followed the injunction "not
to charge for the teaching," and, having been found "faithful
in a few things," the Elder Brother, who has been our inspiration
in the work, has entrusted to our care the formula by which a
spiritual healing panacea may be made to alleviate suffering and
cure disease — free of charge, of course.

To perform this service for humanity it will be necessary to
establish headquarters and a school to educate qualified helpers
in the use of the spiritual panacea, medical astrology and hygiene.
They will then carry help and healing abroad. A considerable
number of physicians are already affiliated with the Eosicrucian
Fellowship, and it may be a number will feel the call to prac-
tice the spiritual method in combination with their medical pro-
fession. It is not necessary they should advertise their affiliation
with the Bosicrucian Fellowship or advertise cures.

At this writing we are about to secure a tract of land in
Southern California, and as soon as funds become available suit
able headquarters will be erected, with a school and place of
worship. In the meantime we will seek out prospective helpers in
the work who can give their time and talents.

Postage free

This is Mr. Heindel's latest book, and it may be said to
be practically given away at 75c, for it contains as much
matter as the usual run of books sold for a dollar or $1.50.

This book contains much information never published
before, particularly about colors and their effect upon the
vital force, also many esoteric Bible teachings.

Notwithstanding the extremely low price, however, the
handsome style and finish of Rosicrucian publications has
been maintained. The book is as well and as durably
bound as our other publications.

We trust these features may appeal to our students and
induce them to use the book freely as a gift to others.

gdenttftc

This is a complete book of instruction. It has a full
set of tables necessary to learn how to cast a horoscope in a
thoroughly scientific manner, and the rules have been so
simplified that ability to add and subtract is the only mathe-
matical knowledge required. Price 35c.

This booklet and the simplified method it contains of
casting a horoscope in a thoroughly scientific manner is
published in order to enable anyone who can add and sub-
tract to do the work himself, instead of relying on others.
Thus he will obtain a deeper knowledge of the causes which
are operative in his life than any professional astrologer
who is a stranger can give.

The astrologer who works in his own family or among
his neighbors and friends, and works for love, can do more
to help them than the most accomplished professional
astrologer who is, of course, unable to see as deeply into
their conditions.

Seeing that such are the views of the writer, he wishes to
state most emphatically that he does not cast horoscopes and
will not consent to do so under any circumstances. He
teaches astrology free of charge, as part of the spiritual
philosophy which he has espoused, for the same reason that
he lectures on other phases of occult knowledge — to help
those who want to help themselves.

gslrolosical Calculation

In order to help the beginner in Astrology and further
amplify the teachings of our "Simplified Scientific Astrol-
ogy/' we have made a calculation blank, consisting of seven
typewritten pages with every tabulation made in casting a
horoscope.

This blank will be of invaluable aid to the student until
he has become -thoroughly familiar with the mathematical
calculations. Price 15c each, 4 for 50c.

instantaneous Stepertartan

A simple mechanical device which by a single turn of the
wrist shows the aspect of each planet to every other planet.

Many questions were asked the writer after his lectures
in various parts of the United States and Europe ; questions
which dealt with and probed deeply into every phase of the
soul-life here and Hereafter. These questions he saved
and later selected 189 of them, which were of most uni-
versal interest for compilation into a book of occult in-
formation and ready reference.

It is a book which ought to be im the library of every
occult student, the handsome style of this publication will
make it much appreciated as a "gift-book" and the merely
nominal price is an incentive to liberality.
