Greetings from All Points of the Triangle!

The Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis seeks both an evolutionary and a mystical goal, in fact both are simultaneously pursued, each inherent in the other, each reflected in the other, and perhaps most importantly, each realized through the other.

In our last newsletter the distinction between actuality, the law and order of vibration, and reality, the law and order of perception, were the focus of my message. Upon reflection, many of you recognized a fundamental duality between the vibratory essence of the divine, which is everywhere, and the perception of the divine which is as omnipresent in all of the countless sentient beings, each with a job to do in sustaining the at once mighty and delicate balance of nature and cosmos. All of these creative families are attracted to each other in what cosmologist Brian Swimme has called allurement and what our new and beloved Imperator, Claudio Mazzucco calls love in the current issue of the Rosicrucian Forum.

This love is operative on all planes as a fundamental attraction. How we respond to this attraction, how we act, creates karma, a strong and prominent teacher in any and all mystical schools. Our actions give us the stuff of our evolution, the lessons of our mystical growth, and the evolutionary stages in both the physical and spiritual realms in both their macro and micro appearances. A moment’s reflection will reveal some of the ways that the most powerful energy of love both attracts and binds.

So love moves us through life, whether or not its presence is realized. The greater our realization the more our realization of that love takes center stage in the grand theater of evolution, ready to speak to all who hear its helpful messages and be seen by all that have eyes attuned to what at first seems invisible, and felt by all those who grow increasingly aware of its vibratory touch.

Reality, as the law and order of perception, is both individual and universal. Please stop for a few minutes and allow the master within to demonstrate and illustrate how your perceptions are unique to you and then, after opening that portal allow the master within to do the same as you see yourself as part of the greater whole and a member of the human race. Allow your consciousness to be open, relaxed, and receptive, like the mirrored surface of a pristine mountain lake. You may lose consciousness and that’s fine. If nothing appears on the surface of your awareness that’s fine, too.

That’s the beginning of a new and deeper reality, the acceptance of love, the depth and power of depth, the place of beginning, the realization of a profound peace.

With all best wishes for your most profound peace,

John Fowler,

Grand Councilor

Rocky Mountain Region, AMORC
