History Of The Rose-Croix Sedir - Ordo Svmmvm Bonvm

(55) We do not think of being able to finish this imperfect study on the expression of truer
feelings. We ask, to finish, that this book serf at least to make find the gate narrow with some
of those which go in the ways of Science: that they test all things with the prudence of the
snake, because much of schools wrongfully took the name and the coat of the true
Rosicrucian brotherhood. (1) the celibacy is not an essential condition of the state of
Rosicrucian brotherhood. There are among them married people and fathers of family: the
studies of medicine and philosophy are not essential, because they associated painters.

CHAPTER XIV HOW TO BECOME INITIABLE WITH THE FRATERNITY OF THE
ROSICRUCIANS
The social science, knowledge is completely useless to arrive at the ideal which propose
the Rosicrucian brotherhood, with holiness. The considerations which follow are intended to
the only students, with the researchers who want to leave to the conquest the knowledge. I
announce here the remarkable works of a philosopher, too little known have regard with his
immense search and the clever clearness of his work: F CH Barlet, which traced these
investigations the plan which seems most logical to us and most complete. (1) In the
Messianism, Wronski presents a different plan. Lastly, the researchers whom a intellectual
or mental reason attaches to the tradition israélite will study with profit the nomenclature of
the books of the Old Will, book in which are and the path of the Rosicrucian brotherhood,
and carries it, and even a good part of its mysteries. With these means, one will estimate
oneself happy if, at the end of a whole existence of baited work, one arrives at a precise
result and Net. That which has neither the taste of this arid search, neither time to devote
itself to it, nor the means of making hunting for the rare books, or of visiting remote libraries
can be satisfied with the functioning following, simpler, in conformity with the Western spirit,
and more rapid pent-to be, if there is courage to accept the tests which it comprises. That it
initially registers in front of oneself three words which will be its constant rule: To work - To
request - To persevere. Here the command which it can follow for its studies: 1 ° To seek, in
a version in vulgar language of the Bible, the divine names, the powers which one allots to
God, the acts which the Verb carried out in Judaea, signs of those which it still achieves and
which it will achieve in the total universe (Theology). 2° After having lost itself a little in the
stories of the Old Will, the disciple looks at itself, is examined, and sought with better
obeying the commands of its God (Morals). 3° Insofar as it purifies, Nature is revealed with
him, without the intermediary of the books; and it can stop knowing the secrecies (Alchemy)
of them. 4° It arrives then at an overall picture on the world. If it believes being arrived at the
end of its efforts, if it takes its synthesis for a total synthesis, it can all the same work, sow
some light and make good; but it will not progress any more, because a progress is a birth,
and a birth requires a death. *** Here thus, by one or the other of these programs, our
student about informed on the letter of hermetism, mysticism and the magic. **time-out**
its information be exact, note it, that if it have include exactly it that the author have want say
or conceal, if it himself be not enorgueilli of its knowledge, if it have solve the enigma of
subjective and of objective, if it have reconcile the freedom of man with the prescience
divine, if it have feel the divinity of Christ, if it have keep its balance moral in its work
practical, of will, of magnetism, of perspicacity, etc, if it have give up the desire to keep its
science or its small capacity for him very only, if it have include like the vanity of its search.
They are not scarecrows there; it is the strict expression of the automatism relentless with
which the invisible one answers us when we call it. All that touches with occult saw, of a
major life, quivering, overflowing; the sensitivity of these forces and these beings is
exquisite; it is impossible to disguise our feelings and our mobiles to them; and they move
according to an angle of reflection exactly equal to the angle of incidence that the jet of our
will took while going on them. However not one on thousand of the students in occultism is
not indemne small weaknesses which we have just announced. What arrives to him? It will
suffer the consequence of it. Little by little, as the circle of its studies widens, our researcher
