History Of The Rose-Croix Sedir - Ordo Svmmvm Bonvm

passage that we already quoted, who was from time immemorial emblème of the beauty,
the life, of the love and the pleasure, mystically expressed all the protests expressed with
the Rebirth... To join together the pink with the cross, such was the problem arising from
high initiation ". The white pink, more particularly devoted to the Virgin Mary, Holda, Freia,
Venus-Uranie, was the symbol of silence and the prayer (17). A.E. Waite teaches us that
the pink was already employed in the symbolism of the brahmanic legends. In one of the
Hindu paradises, there is a money pink which contains the image of two brilliant women like
pearls. They appear plain or separate according to whether they are looked at sky or
ground. From the celestial point of view, one calls it the goddess of the mouth; from the
terrestrial point of view, the goddess or the spirit of the language. God resides at the center
of this pink. According to Michel Maïer (18), the explanation of two letters R.C. would be in
the symbols of the sixth page of the Gold Table. Exotériquement, these letters indicate the
name of the founder; ésotériquement, the R represents Pégase and C, Si one neglects the
sound, represents the lily of it. It is known that the red pink germinated of the blood of
Adonis, that Pégase was born from the blood of Jellyfish and that the fountain of
Hippocrène spouts out of a rock struck by the shoe of Pégase. The author of Bonum
Height (19). that one has of good reasons to think of being Robert Fludd, known as that
letters F.R.C. mean Foi, Religion, Charité and that the symbol of the Rosicrucian
brotherhood represents the wood of the Martyrdom vivified by the blood of Christ. Dr.
Ferran gives the precise details that here: " After emblèmes in triangle, the seal of Brahatma
and the triangle of the holy syllable, emblème maconnic oldest that bequeathed us ancient
priesthood is that of the Rosicrucian brotherhood " This last, allotted to Hermès Thot, came
to us from the temples of Egypt while passing by Chaldée, forced intermediary, waited
until it is among the magi, on the borders of the Tiger and Euphrate, that Cambyse, after the
conquest of Egypt, transported all the priests of this country, without any exception and
return. " the Rosicrucian brotherhood personified for the initiates the divine idea of the
manifestation of the life by the two terms which make this emblème. The first, the pink, had
appeared the most perfect symbol of the alive unit; initially because this flower, multiple in
its unit, presents the spherical form, symbol of the infinite one; in the second place, because
the perfume which it exhales is as a revelation of the life " This pink was placed in the center
of a cross because the latter expressed for them the idea of the straightness and the infinite
one; straightness, by the intersection of its lines with right angle and of the infinite one,
because these lines can be prolonged ad infinitum and that, by a rotation made by the
thought around the vertical line, they represent triple feel height, width and depth " (20). The
same ideas are expressed by the indicator that was Villiers of Isle-Adam, in the heart of
which flowered, this seems, all the lights called by work of a long ascent of Christian
ancestors. " This talisman of the stellar Cross is penetrated of an energy able to control the
violence of the elements. Diluted, by myriades, on the ground, this sign, in its spiritual
weight, expresses and devotes the value of the men, the prophetic science of the
numbers, the majesty of the crowns, the beauty of the pains. It is emblème of the authority
of which the revêt Spirit secretly a being or a thing. It determines, it repurchases, it
precipitates with knees, it lights!... The profaners themselves bend in front of him. Who
resists to him is his slave. Who ignores it étourdiment suffers forever from this scorn.
Everywhere it is drawn up, ignored children of the century, but inevitable " the Cross is the
shape of the Man when it extends the arms towards its desire or is resigned to his destiny.
It is the symbol even of the Love, without which any act remains sterile. Because with the
exaltation of the heart is checked any predestined nature. When the face alone contains the
existence of a man, this man is enlightened only above the head; then its jealous shade,
reversed any line below him, attracts it by the feet, to involve it in the Invisible one. So that
the lascif lowering of its passions is not, strictly, that the reverse frozen height of its spirits.
This is why the Lord known as: " I know the thoughts of wise and I know up to which point
they are useless " (21). What a splendid pensers! Don't they virtually contain all that one
can say on the mysterious symbol? And the documents which follow do not make any
more whereas to satisfy our curiosity. Germanie, where are located the headquarters of the
