CHAPTER II ROSICRUCIANS<br />

It is assoiffés beings of love and sacrifice which, after centuries and centuries of fights and<br />

the work, arrived at the node of the Science and Capacity, reinstated mystically in the<br />

splendour first of their condition of men, cannot support the painful spectacle their brothers<br />

still lost in the attractions of passion and ignorance. <strong>The</strong>se require to be returned in Created<br />

and to again share its pains and its temptations. <strong>The</strong>y is missionnés, the apostles, the pure<br />

mystics, the true Rosicrucian brotherhood. Ruysbroeck the Admirable one calls them the<br />

secret children of Seigneur (1). <strong>The</strong>ir doctrines are inexpressible, because they profess qu<br />

one cannot nothing know without being convinced before of its absolute ignorance. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

book, it is EvangiIe. <strong>The</strong>ir practice, it is the imitation of Jesus-Christ. This theory and this<br />

practice appear simple. II is not however from higher to conceive nor of more difficult to<br />

carry out. <strong>The</strong> most abtruse speculations of the Hindu metaphysicians or the most alarming<br />

austerities of their yogis disappear in front of the terrible depth from the maxims and the<br />

lesson evangelic. But these only can include/understand them which already exceeded, in<br />

work and the suffering, the extreme limits of the human nature. To speak about the<br />

Rosicrucian brotherhood is thing about impossible (2). <strong>The</strong>y form an organization invisible<br />

(3). Didn't they give each other to themselves the qualifier of " invisible "? Knights of the<br />

Spirit, they raise only of the Spirit, they can be known only by the Spirit. <strong>The</strong> Spirit releases<br />

them from any limitation, the pupil above any contingency. It nourishes them, inspires them,<br />

comforts them, the II ressuscite after each innumerable death which constitutes the existence<br />

in relative apostles of God and His Christ. Living Absolute, they live in the Absolute. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

make us include/understand themselves the mystery of their spiritual union the ones with the<br />

others through time and space, their spiritual union also with their pars and their émules (4),<br />

disciples of the same Master, dedicated to the same apostolate. According to whether<br />

Christ said to Her disciples: " Where I am, you will be there also ". But, just as the man can<br />

seize the divinity only in her demonstration, in the same way the men cannot seize the<br />

Rosicrucian brotherhood, messengers of God, than in their demonstrations. " It is always<br />

during a critical time that one intends to speak about them. <strong>The</strong>y arrive per hour and in the<br />

country when a social form, having reached its complete realization, already tends to<br />

deteriorate; when the slow and continuous efforts of the human spirit, instead of converging,<br />

as they had done until there, towards the constitution and the strengthening of a social<br />

welfare, of a religious dogma, a scientific synthesis, start to diverge and shake the building<br />

built by the preceding generations " (5). <strong>The</strong>ir name is that of their function. <strong>The</strong>y can, if they<br />

want it, being invisible with the men and unknown; if they want it, they can live in the medium<br />

of them and like them; they are free; but in any event they are present at those which they<br />

come to help. <strong>The</strong>y adopt the habits of the countries where they are. And, indeed, they can<br />

live in the medium of the men without being likely to be identified; only, their pars recognize<br />

them with a certain interior light. Christ said: " the world also does not know you ". This is<br />

why, when they change country, they change nom (5). Its can adapt to all the conditions,<br />

with all the circumstances, to speak with each one its language. <strong>The</strong>y make so that what they<br />

have to say to the world is known as. Those which write or speak on their behalf express as<br />

accurately as they can it the thoughts, the inspirations which are transmitted to them by the<br />

spiritual way, In the same way, these heralds of the Absolute do not inspire more their<br />

apologists whom they are not concerned with refute their detractors. Those as these<br />

behave according to whether they of it are able with regard to the light which they have in<br />

front of them " Foreign and travellers on the ground " (6), not wishing anything in the world,<br />

neither the beauty nor glory, to only make the will of God, they are carrying the burdens of<br />

weak, heating the tepid ones, restoring the harmony everywhere. <strong>The</strong>y pass, and the<br />

desert becomes a meadow: they speak and the hearts open with the call of divine Pasteur.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y prepare the path with That which must come. But which will know tirednesses, which<br />

will count martyrdoms always unknown that accept, in their immense love, these shepherds<br />

of the Father, to bring back the disobedient ewes which we are? Large Cagliostro says it in
