is always part of whatever solution finally emerges; and
that solution is already partially formed in the mind, if
only we could retrieve this valuable information. We are
part of a great ‘Cosmic Awareness’ from which answers
to all questions ultimately arise, and it is merely a matter
of learning how to tap in to that great storehouse of
knowledge and experience. It seems simple doesn’t it
Yes it is in reality, but virtually no one believes it, and it
therefore becomes hard.
When we focus our full attention inwards during
meditation, the answer will always eventually come, if
we have the patience for it to ripple up to the surface of
objective conscious awareness. In meditation we
find our lost connection with the universe and
its Creator, and it is merely a matter of waiting
for the answers to mature and form into patterns
that we can recognise and put in concrete
terms. Is there a so-called ‘divine plan’ for humankind.
Undoubtedly there is, but its details are revealed only
incrementally and only to some. The divine great plan for
us is more beautiful than anything we could conceive, but
it is also right there for the taking, waiting to be found,
understood and accepted.
True Expression
A sincere, spontaneous expression of the inner self is
vital for both our mental and physical health. If we are
constantly anxious about things, our chances of finding
happiness and accomplishment are limited. We can’t be
aware of the beauty and wonder of creation if there is no
joy in life and all we do is worry about our circumstances.
If we keep your eyes fixed on the dust on our shoes, how
can we see the glory overhead Small miracles occur daily
when we do what is right. Miracles occur especially when
we love others unselfishly, giving of ourselves for the
welfare of others, and especially when our inner self is in
harmony with the deepest part of our being, known to
Rosicrucians and many other mystical traditions simply
as ‘the Master Within’.
The Rosicrucian Order unfortunately occasionally
arouses opposition, suspicion and criticism by people
who have false conceptions as to its whole purpose and
mission is. By being strong though and holding fast to
the high moral standards and spiritual principles of their
Order, Rosicrucians do not compromise themselves or
dilute their yearnings for a higher life, simply because
If we keep your eyes fixed on the dust on our
shoes, how can we see the glory overhead
of the lower modes of thought and action that others
indulge in. Doing anything less, would compromises the
integrity of the paths they have chosen to follow, and
would lead them swiftly away from the happiness and
accomplishment they have found. It’s so easy to say “been
there, done that” and then wonder why some people can’t
keep up with us. Well, some have not “been there, done
that” and we can be certain that we too have not “been
there, done that” in many circumstances where others have
“been there, done that”. So, patience and tolerance are the
watchwords of any mystical path, especial one upon which
Rosicrucians tread.
The activities, thoughts and verbal expressions
of Rosicrucians are ideally always motivated by an
optimum blend of spiritual ideals and physical realities.
Ideals are fine but not always achievable. Sometimes the
material realities of life are so overpoweringly important
that we have to give ear to them a lot more than to
our higher ideals. But don’t ever forget those
ideals in the heat of the moment, even if they
can’t be acted upon fully for the time being.
Rosicrucians seek a balance to every situation
and act accordingly, but always with patience
and tolerance. Accomplishing such responses to
the world around one requires a keen alertness
and vigilance to what one is saying, thinking and
doing that goes quite far beyond the norm. And
it is this vigilance and frankly our awareness of
our awareness that becomes so important when
we seek to live the life of a Rosicrucian mystic.
A mystically led life requires obedience to
natural and esoteric laws. We can’t break natural
law but we can certainly wear ourselves out
trying to. Why try when it is clear we can never
succeed. Better then to understand the natural
