Incoming Master’s Message

As we begin the new year, 3369, we bring with us many blessings, and we face many serious challenges. One of our most important blessings is AMORC, with its body of knowledge, its vision, and its membership. The membership of AMORC includes many wondrous souls, all walking a spiritual path toward oneness with the Cosmic. And the best part is, we are part of that Egregoire, and we have access to it.

Each of us is walking different parts of that path, enabling us to shine our own special light on it, so that others may find their way to the Light. Our challenge is to strive to ensure that Light that shines through us is as clear and bright as possible, both as a member of AMORC, and as individualized souls seeking greater understanding.

This is going to be an interesting year, no doubt about it. In the Chinese calendar, this is the year of the Fire Monkey. I won’t go into the meanings of all five elements (water, wood, fire, earth, metal), but Fire brings the aspect of Attention, something most monkeys don’t have, but attention with more power and focus. The Monkey signifies joy, intelligence, cleverness, and innovation.

I feel the Good and the Love and the Light rising all over the world. I am encouraged by the interest young people are taking in world, as well as local and national events. I feel Rosicrucians will have a large part, and are playing a large part in this Unfolding, this new Enlightenment. I see people waking up everywhere. I am excited to be part of this change. I hope you will all join me in that excitement and enthusiasm. Rosicrucians have been holding the light for times just like this. jíxiáng rúyì (Good fortune according to your wishes, in Mandarin)

Peace, Profound,
