Interlude: Conversation with a Rose-Croix (1)
November 24 [What I write here applies to every true esoteric school]
Friends, I decided to begin a new series of episodic posts memorializing a conversation between a pupil and an actualized Rose-Croix. It seems fitting to do so as the 18th AMORC cycle of world activity is drawing to a close as of August 12, 2017, as the Work given to the Egyptian Great Cycle has been completed.
Whenever, a Great Cycle is completed, the Order must rekindle itself, or be reborn, as is the Phoenix by voluntarily building and entering into a Grand Funeral Pyre. For the Light, Life, and Love composing the central flame burning upon the sacred hearth of each esoteric school must be given to the physical world via a material organ. The material organ is like a wondrous lantern upon whose glass panes gradually accumulate soot from the outside world. As the lantern cannot be cleaned, the brightness of the flame entering into the mundane world dims with the passing centuries.
An obvious question ripe for the asking is, “What is this gathered soot?”
Simply, the soot is nothing more than false ideas slowly interjected into the Teachings, on carbon atom at a time. The soot remains upon the glass as the majority of the members fail to notice that the lantern glass is not adequately transmitting the burning Flame within. Such ignorance arising from the fact that most students are insufficiently awake to protest such loss of luminosity.
Subsequently, the only solution is for the Order to be reborn from the ashes of the prior Great Cycle. This, I have discussed previously in my posts.
So we stand perched on the temporal period between the close of an earlier Great Cycle and the rebirth of another. All is fine, yes? No. Everything in the universe is stochastic and no possibilities of much importance are guaranteed. The Order may appear to have been reborn to sleeping eyes, but if it is only an illusion, the damage is permanent.
The Order can only be reborn from a strong membership, not necessarily large, but fully dedicated. A rebirth requires the concerted visualizations and conscious efforts of the current members, as a unified group. The rebirthing plan is in order, but needs the commitments of our membership NOW.
The number of Rosicrucian students who attain membership in the innermost Order, the Invisible Order, is much less than you can imagine. It is rare for a Master to acknowledge his or her personal existence during the life of a Great Cycle, though such is not unheard. However, as the rebirthing of the Order into a Great Cycle is opposed by many astral forces, a Master(s) will tell certain highly advanced students of his or her incarnation(s) so to aid in the rebirthing.
Fortunately, such a manifestation is present at this very endpoint, as our times are most troubled secondary to an abrupt arising of dominance of the Dark forces with the advent of technology. I have been asked to share a conversation between an unnamed student and a Master named Baal Eyt.
The title ‘Baal Eyt’ is found in the ancient Hebrew language and translated into English means ‘Lord of the Appointed Time.’
