Summary With the publication of the ‘Fama Fraternitatis’ in 1614, there have been many who have sought to identify its authorship, and to understand its hidden message and its timely call, all without the slightest success. For the message that is to be found within it, is the voice of the Universal Wisdom; the Universal Teachings that have accompanied mankind throughout history. Written in the language of its day, the ‘Fama Fraternitatis’ is a compendium of the Universal Love that calls all those whose heart truly seeks God. In this book, the authors bring a deeper clarity to the messages of the ‘Fama’, raising them into the language of the modern consciousness. The four pillars, the four foundation stones upon which this eternal wisdom is built, are explored in detail, so that we can begin to fathom the universal truth that radiates from its every word. Describing the four states of humanity - the ordinary, the special, the lonely and the perfect – we see how mankind is never abandoned, but always offered the Light of Love that sacrifices itself to meet him at whatever stage of spiritual endeavour he finds himself. In this exploration of the ‘Fama Fraternitatis’, the mysteries of the Gnostic Light are revealed for the genuine seeker, opening its mysteries of the one Eternal Truth through its language of humility, directed at the longing heart.

Apocalypse Today The Actuality of the Revelation of John Download PDF Details: Pages 260 ISBN 9798230892519 Publisher Herbert Horn Published 2025 Publishers Code Konrad Dietzfelbinger Jesus, the Christ, had opened the blockades ─ the "seven seals" ─ between the divine and the earthly world through his mystery path. Since then, a stream of divine forces has been breaking into the earthly world spiritually (the apocalyptic horsemen), psychically (the trumpet angels), energetically (the harvest angels), and physically (the angels with the bowls of wrath), revealing (apokalyptiko) all that was previously hidden, and calling for a turnaround. Those who resist will experience this stream as correction and catastrophe. Those who cooperate will experience it as a new possibility of life: as the replacement of the old ego-human with a new true self. The images in the text are timeless and apply to every end time including the present time of crisis. The "beast from the sea" is an image of striving for power. The "beast from the earth" is an image of imitated love of Christ. The "woman on the scarlet beast" is an image of striving for possession, and the "dragon" that inspires them all is an image of nihilistic atheism. Today they manifest themselves as fascism, authoritarian socialism, neoliberal capitalism, and scientific materialism. The Apocalypse thus proves to be the paradigm of original Christianity for the history of humanity, its present state, and the salvation or disaster of its future. At the end, a woman appears with the sun on her chest, the moon beneath her feet, and twelve stars on her head. She embodies a new future for humanity, and the "child" with which she is pregnant will be the pure, redeemed people of the future.

The Seven Rays of the Spirit and the Transformation of Human Life Download PDF Details: Pages 105 ISBN 9788567992556 Publisher Pentagrama Publicações Published 2016 Publishers Code Lectorium Rosicrucianum This book is an invitation to dive deep into your heart, so that you can understand and recognize your inner reality and awaken to the process that can be carried out by your consciousness, not only recognize it, but also make the firm decision to take the necessary path to allow it to happen. It explores each of the spaces of the human heart of the human being, seeking to understand each of the flames that burn there and understand what needs to change in our consciousness, so that a new sevenfold fire can emerge and transform our entire lives. Summary “The Seven Rays of the Spirit and the Transformation of Human Life" offers a detailed guide for inner transformation based on the teachings of the Lectorium Rosicrucianum. By understanding and aligning the seven chambers of the heart with the Universal Principle, individuals can embark on a profound journey towards a New Life, characterized by harmony, wisdom, and true spiritual awakening. Humanity has always sought a true, higher life, represented in myths and legends where protagonists undergo trials and transformation. This "New Life" is a principle found within every human, symbolized by the "Candelabrum of the Heart" with seven flames. Each flame must be transformed by the Spirit Spark, leading to a union of Spirit and Soul. This union is depicted in various myths and legends, representing the transformative process of consciousness. The heart is a physical organ and the core of subtle, energetic bodies. It houses the "Candelabrum of the Heart" with seven flames. Transformation requires the unification of Spirit and Soul in the heart, initiating a profound change in consciousness and life. The book explores the connection between the human archetype and the creative powers of the universe. It describes how the Absolute Being manifests through the union of Spirit and Matter, resulting in self-aware consciousness that must transcend ego identification. Human beings have three centers of consciousness: heart, head, and life, each mirroring the divine archetype. The transformation process involves aligning these centers with the Absolute Being, leading to the birth of a New Soul. The seven flames in the heart correspond to the Seven Rays of the Spirit, each representing a different aspect of life and consciousness: 1. Will - The first chamber of the heart represents the deep intention or Will, the driving force behind all thoughts, emotions, and actions. Aligning this Will with the Universal Principle initiates the transformative process. 2. Love - The second chamber corresponds to Love, which must be purified and aligned with the divine. 3. Intelligence - The third chamber represents Intelligence, essential for understanding and integrating spiritual truths. 4. Harmony - The fourth chamber is Harmony, balancing internal and external forces. 5. Wisdom - The fifth chamber symbolizes Wisdom, guiding actions and decisions. 6. Dedication - The sixth chamber stands for Dedication, essential for sustaining the transformative journey. 7. Action - The seventh chamber represents Action, the manifestation of inner transformation in the physical world. This book emphasizes the practical aspect of this spiritual journey, urging readers to actively transform their consciousness and lives. It highlights the importance of understanding the symbolic language used to describe the process and encourages a deep dive into the heart to ignite the sevenfold power of the Spirit.

The Light of the World Download PDF Details: Pages 74 ISBN 9789070196691 Publisher Rozekruis Pers Published 1981 Publishers Code 4062 Jan van Rijckenborgh The precepts given in the Sermon on the Mount are intended for candidates in the Christian mysteries, who have the inner awareness that the approach to life described is not as something to be believed in or experimented with, but as a reality we can only grow towards with the aid of the New Soul. Jan van Rijckenborgh explains these familiar precepts in a way the spiritual seeker will find truly enlightening and liberating. It is the viewpoint necessary for those who are actively engaged in the gnostic process of total inner renovation, and is offered as practical and insightful means of orientation on that path. Summary In this book, the author, Jan van Rijckenborgh, places us before the words spoken by Jesus in the well-known Sermon on the Mount. These words were aimed at the seeker; at those who have become conscious of their unceasing search and its deeper purpose: the complete liberation of all of mankind. But on this path, the candidate is confronted with their own inner state of being, and the author has taken the words of Jesus from the Gospel of Matthew (Chapters 5-7), to bring the spiritual lessons contained therein, into a new light of understanding. Those who are sensitive to this phase of awareness, also open themselves to the guidance of their microcosmic system by the Gnosis. Approaching the deeper spiritual meanings in the words of Jesus, such as ‘You shall not commit adultery’, ‘Judge Not’, and ‘Do not give dogs, that which is Holy’, we are confronted with the inner tasks to which these words are aimed. Not to be misunderstood as directives given to us from an outside authority, but as tasks that must be accomplished within the deepest aspects of our being, these ‘lessons’ must be lived as a reflection of our own state of being. Many are those who recognise the truth within these words, but few understand their significance as spiritual aspects of inner growth. Here the author has given the reader insights that will help them to understand these ‘sermons’ on a broader and deeper level, thus adding knowledge to aid the direction of their longing.

The Mystery of the Beatitudes Download PDF Details: Pages 138 ISBN 9789070196554 Publisher Rozekruis Pers Published 1979 Publishers Code 4027 Jan van Rijckenborgh In the biblical Sermon on the Mount the beatitudes are generally interpreted as promising a future reward for a morally outstanding life. However, Jan van Rijckenborgh’s explanations of this special sermon given by Christ 2000 years ago make it clear that the Beatitudes are far more than simple platitudes. The nine beatitudes confront the spiritual seeker with the ninefold path to true liberation, a path that every determined person can go in self-freemasonry. Summary In the Biblical ‘Sermon on the Mount’, the Beatitudes have always occupied a special place for the spiritual seeker. Considered the pillars of the spiritual life expressed by Jesus Christ, Jan van Rijckenborgh takes the reader beyond the obvious moral messages the Beatitudes contain, confronting us with the liberating necessity of soul-rebirth so eloquently hidden in these texts. Bringing to light the inner path that must be walked by all those who seek a connection with the Absolute, the author explains in detail the ninefold path to which the nine Beatitudes direct the seeker. Step by step, the spiritual attributes, challenges and accomplishments conveyed by the Beatitudes to the Initiate are described, taking the reader to a new level of understanding and insight that can guide them along this path to the Spirit-Soul Consciousness. Jan van Rijckenborgh focuses our attention on the foundations of the Beatitudes, which all begin with, ‘Blessed are …’, by reinforcing the spiritual reality that they do not say ‘Blessed shall be …”. Hence, he places us before the reality, not of an anticipated future, but the spiritual living present, the eternal ‘now’. Read quotes from this book...

The New Caduceus The Apocalypse of the New Era V Download PDF Details: Pages 55 ISBN 9067322350 Publisher Rozekruis Pers Published 1999 Publishers Code 4021 Catharose de Petri and Jan van Rijckenborgh In July 1967, the consciousness of humanity was drawn to the role the ‘caduceus’, the serpent fire, the kundalini, must play in the current spiritual impulses affecting all of humanity. The sacral plexus, the south pole of the serpent fire, attuned to the fundamental vibrations of the fallen nature order, must consciously attune itself to the higher vibrations of the new spiritual possibilities now presenting themselves. This process, driven by the impulses of Aquarius, is assisted by the inter-cosmic radiations of Serpentarius and Cygnus bringing order and balance, so that the caduceus becomes the ‘Staff of Hermes’, blazing with the Fire, Light, and Power of the new Soul, united with the Spirit. Summary In this Fifth Aquarius Conference, held in Toulouse, France, in July 1967, the authors, Jan van Rijckenborgh and Catharose de Petri, brought to the consciousness of those present, the important role that the ‘caduceus’, the serpent fire, the kundalini, must play in the current spiritual impulses that are affecting all of humanity. As man has descended into the nadir of materiality, so the sacral plexus, the south pole of the serpent fire, has also been attuned to the fundamental vibrations of this nature order, and must now, in the new spiritual possibilities presenting themselves, be consciously changed so as to attune itself to the higher vibrations of this new period of development. This process, driven by the impulses of Aquarius, is also assisted by the inter-cosmic radiations of Serpentarius and Cygnus, who bring order and balance to these changes. Assuming the individual, through a correct attitude of life, is able to assimilate these influences in a positively directed manner, they become a great help in the transformation of the personality, and birth of the new Soul, feeding the process and breaking down all resistances. Thus, the caduceus becomes the ‘Staff of Hermes’, blazing with the Fire, Light, and Power of the new Soul, united with the Spirit, with which the candidate overcomes all of his inner adversaries, and stands pure before God.
