Initials P.D. of the last brother of the 2"* group of
co-founders of the Rosicrucian order according
to the Fama. Brother P.D. was the secretary. A
secretary recevies letters and correspondence,
and communicates this to the fraternity. He
records the minutes of the meetings and keeps
the archives. In connection with the letters Peh
and Daleth, he must express well the thoughts of
the fraternity. In order to understand the
problems of others, me must have a good
imagination. He must be silent in the face of
criticism and in the presence of the unprepared.
He must use discrimination to keep silent in the
presence of ignorance. The most effective action
comes from silence. Silence builts power and
prevents people who are contrary to your work
from setting up road blocks.

?Ia?nN Amethyst; a precious stone; the ninth
stone of the breast-plate of the High Priest;
corresponding with Sagittarius. In Exodus 28: 19:
"And in the third row an opal, an agate, and an
amethyst." For other stones, see 45, 98, 702, 150,
345,395,370,308, 1210,350, 85.
I. Isidore Kosminsky writes: "The ninth stone of
the breastplate is achlamah, which with few
exceptions, is identified with the amethyst-
beyond doubt the correct identification. The
Midrash Bemiddah gives the color as purple
which is the dominant shade of this beautiful
gem: purple is also one of the chief colors
associated with the planet Jupiter which in
Astrology is termed the Lord of Sagittarius, the
ninth sign of the Zodiac ... in old poets, travelers,
publishers, etc. It would strengthen the wisdom,
faith and religion of the wearer and aid in prayer
and in dreaming. If bound to the left wrist the
amethyst enabled the wearer to see the future in
dreams; to dream of the stone itself indicated
success to a traveler, clergyman, sailor,
philosopher, teacher or mystic, also protection,
faith and fruitful thought for pains in the head
(headache, toothache, etc.) It was recommended
that an amethyst be immersed in hot water for a
few minutes, taken out, dried, carefully and
gently rubbed over the parts affected and the
back of the neck. Almost all authorities agree in
translating the Hebrew achlamah as amethyst
and as identifying it as the ninth stone of the
High Priest Breastplate. It was the seventh
precious stone which the sage Iachus gave to
Apollonius of Tyana as an emblem of piety and
dignity." (pp. 129-132)

I. "And Hebrew understand that the will is a
spirit, and different from the desirous craving.
For the will is an insensitive and incognitive life;
but the craving is found by the will, and is the
will a being. This the craving is a magia (29),
and the will a magus (5.5); and the will is greater
than its mother which gives it, for it is Lord in
the mother; and the mother is dumb, but the will
is a life without origin. The craving is certainly a
cause of the will, but without knowledge or
