Greetings Brothers and Sisters,
Our purpose as a Martinist organization is to not only grow our numbers but to invite others to join us and to receive inspiration and initiation. It is time to reiterate the words of Saint Martin regarding initiation.
“Worldly initiations are a necessary preliminary to Martinists, though we see them as earthly representations of a greater transformation. They only become meaningful when we receive the “central initiation”. He says that this initiation is that by which “we can enter into the heart of God, and make God’s heart enter into us, there to form an indissoluble marriage which will make us the friend, brother, and spouse of our Divine Redeemer. There is no other mystery in arriving at this holy initiation than to go further and further down into the depths of our being and not let go until we can bring forth the living vivifying root, because then, all the fruit which we ought to bear according to our kind, will be produced within and without ourselves naturally.”
—Pantacle No.1 2001
It is a requirement that the Associate Initiation be received before attending Martinist Conventicles. There is a full day of intensive meetings once a quarter for a period of two years after which the student may graduate to the next level called the Initiate Degree. I invite you and even challenge you to seriously consider this new level of instruction by joining the Rocky Mountain Atleier (RMA) of the Traditional Martinist Order (TMO).The next Marinist initiation will be held in January 2016, but it is not too soon to start thinking about adding your light to ours.
To be initiated, you must provide current AMORC and TMO dues receipts along with a completed Application for Temple Initiation, all of which can be downloaded from the Rosicrucian web site. The Application for Temple Initiation must be completed and approved by the Provincial Master, David Schloegel (d.schloegel@msn.com ) at least two weeks prior to the next scheduled Initiation. (the last week of December 2015) RMA dues are $21 per quarter and Amra is always appreciated
Martinism was started as an organization where students could learn esoteric sciences much in the way that other schools taught materialistic sciences. The Rosicrucian Digest devoted an entire issue to the influence of Martinism on the Rosicrucian tradition. (Volume 92 Number 2 2014). Even if you are already a member, it is always good to go back and read it again.
I have invited, and informed you about Rocky Mountain Atelier of the Traditional Martinst Order and I hope I have inspired you to come join us.
May you ever dwell in the Eternal Light of Divine Wisdom.

Provincial Master’s Message
We take a lot of our daily existence for granted for, as human beings, we are extremely adaptable. It doesn’t take too many repetitions of an extraordinary event before we stop thinking of it as extraordinary! How many of you take that step back from your work-a-day life to wonder at the miracles going on around you all the time? Look at the miracle of birth. How is it even possible for a human body to reproduce itself? And then for a soul to enter and inhabit that body! What a wonder of this physical/spiritual world!
How about the process of plants using chlorophyll to convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into food and oxygen? This is a miraculous process that provides you and me the air we need to exist. Just the process is full of wonder let alone that we can use the products.
And then there is the rushing of river and creek water down their courses from mountain to sea. Just sit on the bank of one of these and watch and listen. Observe the glistening and flashes of light on its surface as it tumbles over the rocks. Hear the joyful gurgling and splashing of the water as it swirls and falls over all obstacles. There is beauty and wonder here!
There is so much going on around us that we just ignore because we have seen it and experienced it before. It is so important that we take that step back and experience and savor all the gifts of God and keep that sense of wonder. We had it as a child—let’s reclaim that innocence and be thankful for all the wonders of this world.
May you ever dwell in the Eternal Light of Divine Wisdom!
