  • Analyzing the “60- Master Monograph Section Initiate Degree 7 Nos. 4-6”-Part 1”

    By AMORC Whistleblower Pierre S. Freeman From Christian Bernard Monographs  “Dear Fratres and Sorores, After having devoted the previous monographs to an examination of the body and psychic consciousness, we can now approach the study of projection. However, before discussing the techniques that will enable you to put this faculty…

  • Analyzing the “27- MANIFESTO No. 1-Section INITIATE Degree1-Master Monograph-AMORC”

    By AMORC Whistleblower Pierre S. Freeman From Christian Bernard Monographs “Unlike the official monographs, the Manifestos are not strictly confidential and private. You may lend them to persons interested in scientific, literary, or artistic pursuits. In this way, you will respond to their desire to learn, while also permitting them…

  • GAINING PEACE OF MIND THROUGH REGULATING MENTAL DESIRES

    A Commentary on Monograph 3 of the First Plane             In Monograph Number Three of Plane One, one of those coveted monographs that are obtained after one has graduated from the Twelfth Degree, the highest degree in the progressive Rosicrucian Order of ranks through initiation, the idea of Peace of…

  • THE HIGH PRIESTESS STEPS UP

    Crossing the Threshold after perambulating around the Earth was tough, but the Candidates are still attentive as they follow the Conductor in single file to the station of the High Priestess. As they walk, they find they are striding to the wondrous Rosicrucian music that has often guided their way. …

  • PROPAGATING AND EXPANDING THE UNVERIFIABLE

    The honest truth is, despite everything I have said about dogma propagated by the Rosicrucians, the fact that it is so very poorly propped up by acceptable reality, does not disprove their hypotheses.

  • OCCULT DOGMA- LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT?

    When AMORC says, as in Master Monograph, Degree 3, No. 3, the Initiate section- It is easy to understand that simply eating and drinking is not enough to maintain life. Breathing is also an essential function, as it enables us to draw the positive polarity of Vital Life Force from…

  • GOOD FOOD FOR THE LOWER MIND

    We have focused on initiation as a portal to another level of illusionary reality, but in a sense- let’s face it, so are at least 75% of the AMORC experiments. The difference, though, between an exercise in visualization or telepathy and initiation- is that the idea of initiation involves advancement…

  • BLURRING OF REALITY

    In reviewing Initiation 3, I commented on how, at a certain point after the ritual has advanced to a certain point, the candidate is told to imagine how the initiations took place thousands of years ago. By doing this, the monograph says, -you will attune with the Akashic Records and,…
