crucifixion scene shown to the Knight is the same as San Francesco’s
Crucified Serpent or the image of the serpent of bronze that Moses hung
on his staff, the nehushtan.
Another Serpent was born from the ashes of the Knight’s
crucified Spirit. As this was an Easter ceremony, this new Serpent laid
the glain or red egg, which the Goddess ate. 854
With the Goddess fertilized one way or another, the Rose Croix
Knight was reborn in life as described by the Family of Love. The
newborn issue of the sacred marriage emerged in the Rose Croix Knight
as the new King. The Dervish maxim is: 855
The man must die that the saint may be born.
The modern song Hero expresses the same sentiment: 856
Search for the hero inside yourself.
Search for the secrets you hide.
Search for the hero inside yourself.
Until you find the key to your life.
Ovid tells a legendary story of rebirth in the Doctrines of Pythagoras,
where the Phoenix of Assyria renews and begets itself: 857
This bird, when five long centuries of life
Have passed, with claws and beak unsullied, builds
A nest on a loft-swaying palm; …
Then from his father’s body is reborn
A little Phoenix, so they say, to live
The same long years. When time has built his strength
With power to raise the weight, he lifts the nest –
The nest his cradle and father’s tomb –
As love and duty prompt, from that tall palm
And carries it across the sky to reach
The Sun’s great city, and before the doors
Of the Sun’s holy temple lays it down.
The new King was his own Horus or Christ that was always latent within
the Knight Rose Croix, thus the Gnostic interpretation of I.N.R.I being
Jesus reigns within us.
Jesus sayings, found in the primitive Gospel of Thomas, mirror
this: 858
Jesus said, "If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring
forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you,
what you do not bring forth will destroy you."
