The Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross Vol II

Jan van Rijckenborgh

The author continues his explanation of the process of initiation described in the allegory as day 5, 6 and 7 of the Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross. The seven principles of the old consciousness, represented by seven 'royal personalities', must perish in order to make room for a new consciousness. It is only after this phase that the actual alchemical transformation process within the various levels of the 'Olympus Tower' (the human serpent fire system) can unfold. This book contains the original Rosicrucian text with detailed explanations by Jan van Rijckenborgh.

Summary

In this second volume, Jan van Rijckenborgh continues his expose of this wonderful spiritual allegory, further bringing to light the hidden symbolism of the remaining four days of the ‘Alchemical Wedding’.  The reader is given greater insights into the souls’ journey, its challenges and what the candidate must do to succeed at each step.  

In the last four days of this symbolic ‘story’, the emerging glory of the growing New Soul is opened to the seekers mind, giving an impression of what this might mean in the life of a candidate on the path.  The author brings into focus a deeper clarity on the mysteries that surround the manifestation of the ‘New Soul Being’, the resurrection of the ‘New Man’, touching on subjects such as the primordial fount of the mysteries, the liberation of the soul-vesture and of course, the celebration of the resurrection.

The insights hidden in the ‘Alchemical Wedding’ are unveiled and offered to the genuine seeker after Universal Truth by Jan van Rijckenborgh not as an intellectual or academic exercise, but as a key, forged with Love, to open the inner door that leads to sanctification and reunification with the Spirit.
