  • 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 to appreciate the interest that Rosicrucians…

  • LIFE AND DEATH OF THE FETUS

    In the summary of Master Monograph, Degree 3, No. 7 in the Initiate Section, AMORC says- While in the mother’s womb, a fetus may be considered one of her organs, except that it develops by following a perfectly pre-established process worthy of the greatest respect and admiration. AMORC’s assertion is…

  • POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE UNVERIFIABLE

    As we proceed to Degree 3, No. 6 of the Initiate Section, we now move towards the consequences that theoretical ideas might have. I think this is most dramatically demonstrated in AMORC’s attitude towards abortion. According to AMORC, unlike most religious creeds that “state the life should enters the embryo…

  • MY ANSWER TO YUSUSUFF

    Yususuff R. Olaniyi  responded to my blog, “Good Food for the Lower Mind,” in which I spoke cynically of the Initiatic Degrees in AMORC, said, “Ok Mr. Freeman, I am actually someone looking for true spirituality and I am sure there are true Rosicrucian groups around. Could you recommend any…

  • BELIEF VS KNOWING -PART II

    In our last blog, we spoke about AMORC’s doctrine that animal flesh contains the memory of human cruelty in memory of their killing by human beings. In the Golden Bough by George Frazier, a landmark in early anthropological writing, Frazier says about the Aino (or Ainu) tribe in Alaska and…

  • BELIEF VS “KNOWING”-PART I

    AMORC pretends towards extraordinary knowledge- of healing, of past history, of the power to telepathically communicate over great distance, to heal, to control the thoughts and feelings of others. In the same manner, they also present their members with a very comprehensive belief system. I go into how these beliefs…

  • “Nothing” as a Dogma

    I believe that, as stated in my last blog, the Rosicrucian affirmation that “Although some scientists are still pondering the questions of extraterrestrial life, the Rosicrucian teachings have affirmed for centuries that life may be present on other planets” functions in a valuable way to influence the members of AMORC’S…

  • EXTRATERRESTIAL AFFIRMATIONS AS A HYPNOTIC TOOL

    In my last blog “Nothing as a Dogma”, I began a discussion of how cult dogma is used to back engineer the cult personality by progressively influencing and deepening the belief system of the Rosicrucian member.  To this end, I brought up an  example from the Initiate Series of Monographs,…

  • BACK ENGINEERING THE CULT PERSONALITY

    In most of my discussions in this blog, which I have also discussed at length in AMORC Unmasked, I have focused on the hypnotic conditioning in regards to using Mind Control to create various hallucinatory phenomena- on one level or another- to confirm the initiatic advancement of the Rosicrucian adept.…

  • WHY THE FIRST TEMPLE INITIATION IS A FIRE STARTER

                In my last blog, I cited an article by Michael D. Langone, Ph. D., Executive Director of the International Cultic Studies Association and Editor of its ICSA Today and co-author of several books on cult subjects. The article was called, Characteristics Associated with Cultic Groups (Revised). In my blog,…
