Master's Message for January, February 2026

Greetings, Fraters and Sorores ,

As we stand with a fruitful mystical year behind us, we now face the threshold of a new cycle— one that may present challenges, yet also profound opportunities. These challenges are not obstacles but invitations, easily transcended through the spiritual realization that consciousness itself is creative. By aligning our thoughts, intentions, and inner vision, we may consciously generate the conditions for continued growth, illumination, and success. We are truly blessed to walk this path under the guidance and egregore of a mystical, philosophical, and initiatic Order such as AMORC—an enduring current of wisdom that anchors us in tradition while urging us toward inner mastery and service to humanity.

Though the outer world may appear to be in turmoil, we recognize this as a call rather than a cause for despair. As students of mysticism, it is our sacred duty not to succumb to negativity, but to transmute it—to neutralize discordant vibrations through Loving, Peaceful, and Harmonizing thoughts. In doing so, we actively participate in the creation of a future where understanding, compassion, and fraternity become the rule rather than the exception. As winter surrounds us with its stillness and cold, we are reminded of a timeless truth: every season contains the seed of the next. Even now, a new spring waits just beyond the veil. Spiritually, this natural rhythm mirrors our inner work—where the coldness of indifference, separation, and neglect can be consciously transmuted into warmth infused with affection, understanding, Divine Love, Peace Profound, and deep Gratitude.

The Vancouver Pronaos warmly invites you to unite with us in prayer, worship, and meditation—entering together into profound inner dimensions that may help propel humanity toward a new era. An era in which hatred, segregation, envy, greed, and the absence of peace are gently dissolved, and replaced by Unconditional Love, harmony, and awakened consciousness. Never underestimate the power of your contribution. What may seem “insignificant” in isolation becomes immensely potent when united with others in a single, Loving, and purposeful intention.

With Best Wishes for Peace Profound,

Dr. Jose Miguel Benitez

Master – Vancouver Pronaos

Questions about Convocation

Q: Why attend Convocation?

A: Convocations are based on a traditional ritual and they have the purpose of setting into motion positive energies for humanity, while allowing the members in attendance to benefit from them as well. They include a lecture or an experiment presenting a special philosophical or mystical theme.

By taking part regularly in Convocation, not only will you contribute to the humanitarian work that our Order accomplishes on the spiritual plane, you will also gain access to a higher dimension of the Rosicrucian Tradition.

Q: Who may attend Vancouver Pronaos Convocations?

A: In order to be eligible to attend Vancouver Pronaos Convocations, you must first be a member of AMORC with dues paid, current and up-to-date.

To become a member of the English Grand Lodge for the Americas please go to this link: https://www.rosicrucian.org/join

Once you have joined the Grand Lodge, you will be given a membership statement showing your membership key number and dues paid and current to date.

You must show proof of membership and a current AMORC Grand Lodge dues receipt each time for admittance to attend a Convocation at the Vancouver Pronaos. You may provide this documentation in either a printed form or digitally.

After attending Convocation three times, you can decide whether you are ready to become a Member of the Vancouver Pronaos, AMORC. If approved for membership in the Pronaos, you will then take part in a special Pronaos Introductory Discourse followed by a New Special Pronaos Initiation Ritual that is required for all new applicants in order to become official members of the Vancouver Pronaos, AMORC.

Q: Is there a certain dress code that AMORC Members should observe when attending Vancouver Pronaos Convocations?

A: Our only ask is that you dress respectfully. Other than this, there is no required dress code.

Q: During the course of the year are there any Vancouver Pronaos Events that the public who are not members of the Order may attend in order to find out more about AMORC, the Vancouver Pronaos and Rosicrucian Teachings in general?

A: Yes, there are several events such as the Memorial Ceremony, Meditation for Peace Ceremony, and certain Mystical Weekend events that the public who are non-members may attend.
