History Of The Rose-Croix Sedir - Ordo Svmmvm Bonvm

this business. (Irenaeus Agnostus). Here what says the author of Frater Rosatae Crucis
(57): " One arrives to Christ more quickly by imitating his life than by reading " the
Rosicrucian brotherhood much teach the Bible and Tauler. " " That which cannot read, known
as Julianus de Campis (39), does not have that to listen to the preacher " It is not only
necessary to go towards Christ, but still to become one with him " To realize in our heart the
passion of Christ " II has there in the man: body, heart spirit (1 ThessaIoniciens V, 25; 1
Corinthiens II, 14; Luc I, 46, 47) or well three men: " the sensual man; " the reasonable
animal man; " the spiritual man " Each one must carry his cross and, for that, crucifier the two
first, and to pass, for the third, by humility, despair, death " Plus the man goes up, his cross
becomes heavy " " the college of the Holy Spirit, known as Schweighardt, is suspended in
the air, where God wants, because it is Him which directs it. It is mobile and motionless,
stable and unstable; it is driven on its wheels and by its wings; and, though the brothers
sow the Truth by claironnantes trumpets, Julien de Campis is always held on other side,
armed with the sword of the examination. If you have a bad conscience, no bridge, no cord
will be run away; you will fall into the well from the error all the more deeply which you will
have been higher, and you will perish there. Am me; imitate the birds of the fresh air. They
fly; make in the same way. There is no danger in slowness, there is much in precipitation.
Let steal the doves out of your arch, to see whether the country refleurit: if they bring back
an olive branch to you, it is that God came to you to assistance. You must in your turn carry
assistance to the poor. If they remain outside without proof of truth, go in your garden, are
satisfied with your roots, plant patience, protect your heart from despair. Though Julien
says: " Which is not suited today it will be even less tomorrow; one does not fight of force
against wisdom "; the hour will come " the brothers have the gift of ubiquity; they are more
close to you than you think it " This temple must be very small, because no brother is
remained there a long time than four weeks. However they see from there your thoughts
better than you could not express them. Thus read, while waiting, the old works of
theology; that of Thomas a. Kempis, for example; am them; you have all teaching in it also
Net and beautiful which it would be worthy to be engraved on gold and the precious
stones. Put to it continuous way into practice; you will be then more than with Rosicrucian
brotherhood half; you will find soon Magnalia of Large and the Small World; soon a brother
will appear to you. Such is the only path " " Christ, known as Madathanus, is the tree of life
by which are softened bitter water of Mara; we are its branches and we will bear fruit by his
virtue. We form with him one being. Its spiritual flesh and its blood are the food or the
dyeing whose nourishes itself the true interior man, because each principle is nourished of
its analogue: the mortal body nourishes ground, the sideritic body is nourished firmament,
and the heart lives by the Spirit of the Lord. " the interior man or the pure dynamic body
forms with his celestial been engaged, by the faith, a spiritual gasoline which is the flesh of
Christ, the dyeing of life, an igneous and penetrating love. It is of spiritual humanity that
Jesus gave to his disciples a heavenly body and a life which it brought of the Sky. The law
is a fire which reduces in ashes nature, Adam and the flesh by the suffering and death; the
Gospel is a water which spiritualizes by the grace of Christ and the Spirit and which
produces peace, the joy, the blessing and the life ". The Imitation of Jesus-Christ remains
the handbook of any candidate to the invisible crown of the Rosicrucian brotherhood. This
book, modest and familiar, whose author concealed himself during centuries with the
admiration of the men, is, after the New Will, most sublime that Providence gave to the
white race. That which would practise all the consultings perfectly that it gives, says
Schweighardt, would be already more than with Rosicrucian brotherhood half. The secret
virtue which confers a divine charm to him is this single alliance of ideal and reality, this
continual descent of sublime in the vulgar care of the everyday life, this uninterrupted rise in
the heart which transfigures the most common acts. Thomas a. Kempis, that work of the
modern scholarship proved to be the author of this admirable book, belonged to the
Company of the Brothers of the common life. I had between the hands one of his portraits.
Nothing in the thin figure, neither in the irregular features, neither in the placid maintenance of
this initiator, detects the superhuman effort of its will, nor the sufferings continuously renewed
