Pikes Peak Atrium Group Leader Message

Greetings Fratres and Sorores! I wish to share with you the AMORC Creed for Happiness. I believe you will find the meaning in it that is meant just for you!

Creed For Happiness

  • I shall begin each morning unafraid and shall seek the wonderful gift that the day will bring to me. I shall be guided by intelligence rather than belief and I shall see truth and ignore no fact. I shall control my thoughts and guide them into the highest realm, holding my cherished ambitions and sacred ideals uppermost in my mind.
  • Throughout the day I shall enjoy all the beauty of my surroundings. I shall glory in my associations and aspire to the exaltation that comes with love of God and of Mankind.
  • I shall forgive freely before forgiveness is asked. I shall harbor ill thoughts toward none. I shall fulfill every trust. I shall remain poised and serene in every trial and face each emergency without fear.
  • I shall be friendly and courteous toward all. To me each day will be one of kindly deeds and unselfish love. I shall obey those in authority and give loyalty to all to whom loyalty is due. I shall be clean in body, action and thought. I shall revere my God and have the utmost respect for the religious convictions of my fellows.
  • To obtain the most from life, I shall give the best that I give. At all times will I enthrone and eliminate the motive of gain. I shall perform each task cheerfully. I shall build and not destroy.
  • And so will I come to the end of each day with the satisfaction brought by service, serenity, kindness, and love. I shall go to my rest with the peace that comes from an untroubled mind and the memory of tasks well done.

With wishes for Peace Profound.

Terry Orlikoski

Outgoing Group Leader Reflections

Greetings!

This past year has been one of expansion for Pikes Peak Atrium - and we have also said Good-bye to some members who have moved out of the area.

Pikes Peak Atrium has begun some experiments in place of some discourses during the Convocations, as was requested by a few members last year. We have also begun an introduction to Kabala class held on a monthly basis that will be ongoing for some time to come. This class is based on the AMORC monographs - The Kabala Unveiled - which are no longer available in printed form but thanks to the class preperation by Soror Judith Stewart, will be presented in a form that is Open to The Public.

The Atrium Library has been uncovered from the boxes which held it in the storage closet. These will now be available for members to access.

It has been an honor to serve the Atrium and its members during this past Rosicrucian Year. The leadership is now handed over to a new Light for the Atrium who will lead us for the coming year with brilliance and inspiration.

With wishes for Peace Profound,

Terry Orlikoski
