The Call of the Brotherhood of the Rosycross Download PDF Details: Pages 379 ISBN 9789067320283 Publisher Rozekruis Pers Published 2017 Publishers Code 4013 Jan van Rijckenborgh The first of the three manifestos of the Classical Rosicrucians, the Fama Fraternitatis R.C. from 1614 calls the seeker to insight: "so that at last man may understand his nobility and glory, and understand why he is called Microcosm." In his commentary the author provides an extensive commentary on this Manifesto of the Classical Rosicrucians, the central point being the idea that the brotherhood of the Rosicrucians has played an important role in the spiritual development of Western humankind, and offers the seeker of today all the information he needs to actually go the Christian path of initiation. Summary The Brotherhood of Life, those who have entered true Liberation before us, always remain working for, and in service to, lost humanity, to bring to them the Light of Truth, so that every human being receives the opportunity to embrace this wisdom and power that leads to a union with the Spirit. Thus, the Fama Fraternitatis , that Rosicrucian manifesto proclaiming this Truth, was given to humanity during one of its darkest periods in the middle ages. Heavily veiled to protect the Truth hidden within it, it has survived the intervening centuries, and continues to touch the hearts of all those open to its message. Now that these times of persecution no longer have a hold on humanity, the author Jan van Rijckenborgh, has unveiled much of the symbolic imagery it contains, to bring this Universal Truth into a modern-day language that is accessible to all. From the first tentative steps of the seeker whose insights have placed his feet upon the path, to the final victory of the union of soul and Spirit, the Fama Fraternitatis spares no details in bringing to humanity the Truth of the path that leads to liberation from the wheel of suffering and death. Directed at those who, through an inner maturity of life experience, and a growing awareness of the limitations of their own ‘reality’, have become open of heart and long to return to their spiritual origins, these commentaries provide a guiding light to help dispel the darkness of ignorance and delusion that potentially threatens the seeker on his quest. The gift of Love that infuses every word of its message, is brought to the reader as a true sacrifice, offered to the heart that longs for genuine Goodness, Truth, and Justice.

The World Brotherhood of the Rosycross The Apocalypse of the New Era II Download PDF Details: Pages 47 ISBN 9067322369 Publisher Rozekruis Pers Published 2000 Publishers Code 4018 Catharose de Petri and Jan van Rijckenborgh The reader is again confronted with the imperatives of the radiation activities of Aquarius, placing humanity before a spiritual task leading to either a complete renewal, or a continuing crystallization. This renewal brings the ‘coming new man’, a human being totally attuned to the ‘voice’ of the Spirit; one who will demonstrate a new life attitude focused on the true spiritual aims of humanity. As the Aquarius radiations change the consciousness of humanity, we become ever more ‘self-aware’, and through true insight, we can respond to the Universal Brotherhood’s call to all humanity to utilise the immense possibilities of an undeniable, living soul development. Summary In this series of addresses, given by Jan van Rijckenborgh and Catharose de Petri, they confront the reader with the imperatives that are associated with the current radiation activities of Aquarius. These cosmic and atmospheric conditions are placing humanity before their spiritual tasks, and their responses will determine whether there is a complete renewal, or a continuing crystallization. This renewal is seen as the ‘coming new man’, a human being totally attuned to the ‘voice’ of the Spirit; one who will demonstrate a new life attitude focused on the true spiritual aims of humanity. Such a new radiation field is also accompanied by the guiding help of all those liberated ones who have walked this path before us – the Universal Brotherhood - and the authors make us aware of the many forms and aspects this help will take, as an offering to humanity to assist in this transition and preparation period. As the Aquarius radiations bring a change of consciousness that becomes ever more ‘self-aware’, so this inner ‘opening’ must be guided along the road to insight. Thus the Universal Brotherhood is ever active in ensuring that every opportunity to taken to ensure that all of humanity will, without being forced, be placed on a foundation of undeniable, living soul development.

Mysteries and Symbols of the Soul Becoming a spirit inspired person Download PDF Details: Pages 266 ISBN 9789067324717 Publisher Rozekruis Pers Published 2018 Publishers Code 4233 Andre de Boer Throughout history all major spiritual teachings have used symbolism to bring the knowledge of the mystery of the soul to man. As the mediator between the human being and Spirit, the soul has always remained central to unlocking the ‘door’ to the path of liberation. What was once hidden in obscure symbolism is unveiled for us, and we gain a greater practical awareness of the soul as a unifying and guiding principle, as a vehicle of transcendence, and as a tool of spiritual action. This book is an invaluable aid to the awareness of the symbolic messages conveyed in many myths, legends, and fairy tales. Summary Throughout history, all of the world’s major spiritual teachings have used symbolism to bring the knowledge of the mystery of the soul to man. As the mediator between man and the Spirit, the soul has always remained central to unlocking the ‘door’ to the path of liberation. In this book, the author has brought together many of these diverse references and symbols, to demonstrate the importance the soul has always been given as the key to the genesis of a spiritual path. In approaching this ‘mystery’, the reader is taken through nine considerations, as a conduit to a fuller and deeper understanding. The soul is discussed from the perspective of unity, duality, connection, development, control, renewal, use, conveyance and action. Thus, much of what was once hidden in obscure symbolism, is unveiled for us, and we gain a greater practical awareness of the soul as a unifying and guiding principle, as a vehicle of transcendence, and as a tool of spiritual action. From the perspective of the symbolism used throughout history to denote its character and importance, the reader is also introduced to nine aspects that summarise the soul’s many forms of expression. We see the soul represented as a centre; as a tree; as a flame; as a traveller; as a castle; as a creator; as a sevenfold being; as a mirror, and as a world worker. This book therefore can be a valuable aid in opening our awareness to the hidden messages contained in many of the world’s myths, legends, and fairy tales, that have represented the souls’ journey, and which have, up until now appeared only fanciful, yet contained many great truths.

The Coming New Man Download PDF Details: Pages 363 ISBN 9789067321860 Publisher Rozekruis Pers Published 2017 Publishers Code 4007 Jan van Rijckenborgh There is a growing awareness that humankind faces a change - the necessity of which is becoming increasingly urgent and obvious. In The Coming New Man, Jan van Rijckenborgh describes the fundamental change necessary in every human being - the development of the core essence in the heart. Giving up the ego and letting the soul core grow in the Light leads to the rebirth of the New Man equipped with an entirely new Spirit-Soul-Consciousness. The author gives a magnificent insight into this great opportunity for humankind. For those who are receptive to this, reading this book will spark the longing for such a fundamental transformation. Summary Jan van Rijckenborgh speaks of the fundamental spiritual task all of humanity is called to enact: the Coming New Man. Offering a deeper insight from an esoteric point of view, the author describes unequivocally the current state of being of the nature born man, then with this as a starting point, brings to the reader a vital picture of the progressive steps that lead to reunification with the Spirit, to true liberation. Often using the symbolic language of the Bible to demonstrate the universality and relevance of its spiritual message in our times, the author takes the reader on an inner journey, firstly through self-knowledge as a condition for genesis, then by unveiling the sevenfold path each neophyte must walk towards attainment, he concludes with a discussion on the gifts and faculties of the reborn soul, the ‘New Man’. The author clearly describes to the reader the complete path that must be awakened in the seeker, a path that emulates the one fundamental aspect of divine Love – sacrifice! Through the sacrifice of the self, and hence through the sacrifice for all of humanity, the author shows us how insight (the head), longing (the heart), and finally sacrifice (the hands), are the key to the inner awakening of the ‘Coming New Man’.

Work in the service of Humanity The Rosycross 1924-1994 Download PDF Details: Pages 80 ISBN Publisher Rozekruis Pers Published 2000 Publishers Code 4112 Jan van Rijckenborgh, Catharose de Petri, and Z.W. Leene Commemorating 70 years of world work by the Rosycross, this historical account of the School’s development focuses on the one essential task that underlies the spiritual path of liberation – service to others! When an inner need to serve the liberation of others fills the heart of the candidate to such an extent that it supersedes the desire for personal liberation, then the true spiritual values of such an action will be released, unlocking the doors of the Soul for the touch of the Holy Spirit, and the true spiritual sacrifice of Soul Renewal. Summary To commemorate seventy years of world work by the Rosycross, this booklet contains the text of the Brotherhood Day address given in 1994, in celebration of this anniversary. Also included is an historical account of the School’s development over this same period, as well as three fragments of addresses that have emphasised this important work. All of these focus on the one essential task that underlies the spiritual path of liberation – service to others! Approaching this one imperative from both an esoteric and structural organic perspective, we are given valuable insights on how this service to humanity is to evolve and manifest. Seen as a foundation stone, sacrifice is the expression, activity and action of the candidate that draws to itself the spiritual qualities that must be made manifest within the sanctuary of life. When an inner need to serve the liberation of others, fills the heart of the candidate to such an extent that it supercedes the desire for personal liberation, then will the true spiritual values of such an action be released and fill the immediate environment of the candidate. Thus the words of Ghandi: ‘If you wish to change the world, change yourself’, ring true as the axiomatic symbol of the path of self-sacrifice and service. Thus the authors diligently remind us in this compilation, that self-effacement through a service to others, is the key to unlocking the doors of the Soul for the touch of the Holy Spirit. But we are also reminded that there must also exist in the candidate an intelligence founded on a deep insight, driven by a genuine longing of the heart, if any form of self-sacrifice is to move beyond the simple culture of the ‘I-being’, and become the true spiritual sacrifice of Soul Renewal.

Le nouvel Appel Télécharger PDF Details: Pages ISBN Publisher Rozekruis Pers Published Publishers Code Catharose de Petri En 1614, les Rose-Croix ont publié leur appel, ou Fama, exposant les enseignements de l'initiation chrétienne et invitant les lecteurs à les examiner sérieusement et à agir conformément à leurs conclusions. Lors d'une conférence tenue à Wiesbaden, en Allemagne, en 1952, Jan van Rijckenborgh a annoncé le même appel rosicrucien en termes modernes. L'annonce de cet appel, qui n'était pas un simple exposé mais un acte magique, marquait, selon Jan van Rijckenborgh, « un tournant dans le XXe siècle, une transformation irrévocable dans le cours entier des événements mondiaux, à laquelle chaque être humain, chaque nation et chaque race devra participer ». Ce livre reprend le texte de cet important exposé. Sommaire Depuis plus d'un demi-siècle, l'humanité subit l'influence croissante d'une nouvelle force de rayonnement ; un changement atmosphérique dont l'impulsion touche le cœur même de l'humanité. Cette impulsion oriente l'humanité vers un chemin de renouvellement, un chemin de changement intérieur, un chemin de préparation à une nouvelle croissance de l'âme. C'est un chemin qui éveille la conscience au matin d'un nouvel espoir ; un chemin intérieur d'accroissement de la conscience de soi, qui construit les fondations du renouvellement à travers de nouvelles connaissances. Ce livre est un appel à « tous ceux qui ont des oreilles pour entendre » et dont le cœur aspire à l'unité, à l'harmonie et à l'amour véritables. Cet appel est la voix silencieuse des nouvelles conditions atmosphériques que nous respirons désormais à chaque instant, et qui nous stimulent à faire renaître ce qui est resté si longtemps endormi en nous. Il nous appelle à laisser l'ancien derrière nous et à faire un pas vers un nouvel avenir ; un avenir auquel toute l'humanité est invitée. Cette invitation ne peut être satisfaite que par l'activité personnelle, en « mettant la main à la charrue ». Un triple chemin vers une union renouvelée avec l'Esprit a été ouvert, et chacun peut emprunter ce chemin de transmutation et de transfiguration s'il possède une profonde compréhension, un véritable désir et un dévouement au service des autres. Ainsi, nous sommes tous appelés à construire les fondations de cette transmutation intérieure, afin que la transfiguration de l'être tout entier puisse être couronnée par la lumière proche de la véritable genèse humaine. << >>

Le Remède Universel Télécharger PDF Details: Pages ISBN Publisher Rozekruis Pers Published Publishers Code Jan van Rijckenborgh Le remède suprême est une force astrale lumineuse, provenant d'un champ astral différent et d'une nature absolument pure et sanctifiée. Si notre état actuel est déterminé par une condition astrale, il est évident que nous ne pouvons être aidés que par une nouvelle condition astrale. Nous verrons alors clairement que la nouvelle force lumineuse agit comme une antithèse à littéralement tout ce qui maintient et garde en mouvement notre moi astral né dans la nature. Elle conduit le candidat à la découverte de lui-même et, en même temps, elle est une force de guérison, non pas automatiquement, mais par le candidat lui-même qui prend en main le grand travail de sanctification. Ce travail d'abandon de soi est le non-faire du « moi » d'une part, et une action très vigoureuse dans la force de la lumière de Dieu d'autre part. C'est ainsi que l'élève mène à bonne fin tout le processus de la rédemption de l'âme. Sommaire Jan van Rijckenborgh place le lecteur devant la réalité de la situation mondiale telle que nous la vivons aujourd'hui — la soif insatiable de pouvoir sur les autres, et la peur permanente des calamités et des désastres qui sont perçus par l'ego comme une perte de contrôle. L'auteur nous montre la fin inéluctable à laquelle nous conduit cette course à la domination, mais il nous présente aussi le seul véritable remède à la condition actuelle de l'homme. Il nous place devant la nécessité pour chacun d'entre nous d'opérer des changements profonds dans notre attitude à l'égard de la vie, si nous voulons éviter la menace toujours plus grande de l'effondrement. Partant de l'idée que « si vous voulez changer le monde, commencez par vous changer vous-même », l'auteur présente au lecteur la nécessité que chacun d'entre nous doit entreprendre pour que l'aspiration à de vraies valeurs spirituelles puisse s'exprimer dans nos vies. En amenant le lecteur à une compréhension plus profonde de la constitution ésotérique qui implique la « santé » de l'humanité, l'auteur nous montre les limites de celle-ci dans les limites de la loi de la vie et de la mort, et présente le remède universel comme la seule solution qui puisse surmonter ces limites. Liant la véritable santé à la réunification de la nouvelle Âme avec l'Esprit, il nous emmène dans un voyage qui ouvre la voie à la réunification de toute l'humanité avec l'Esprit Universel.
