"Fourth stage

Jovis auspiciis...

Before starting to rise upwards again, the egg – whose appearance was becoming more reddish-colored at the same time as its wall was continuing to become thinner – tipped over, so that its upper part became the lower part, and vice versa. Curiously – and by what miraculous means, I do not know – this did not affect my body in any way. I remained in the same position, standing upright in levitation.

I had the impression that this stage of my ascent lasted a lot less time than the previous ones, as if I had been teleported, rather than transported. All the same, my view had become broader, and Earth appeared to me with considerably more perspective and from a lot further away. Words cannot describe what my soul then perceived. As before, an ethereal figure appeared to me. The bluish-colored gleams it was emanating almost merged into the astral blue everywhere around me. This is what it said to me:

See the Great Work of Jupiter: all countries and the world as a whole are being governed with wisdom, so that human relations are based on mutual trust and respect. The time when politics was partisan and narrow-minded has long gone: as you can see, it has become inseparable from philosophy, and its only purpose is to respond to the perfectly legitimate needs and wishes of all people, without discrimination.

Rosicrucian Creed of Peace

I am guilty of war when I proudly exercise my intelligence to the disadvantage of others.
I am guilty of war when I distort other’s opinions, which differ from my own.
I am guilty of war when I show disregard for the rights and properties of others.
I am guilty of war when I covet what another has honestly acquired.
I am guilty of war when I seek to maintain my superiority of position by depriving others of their opportunity of advancement.
I am guilty of war if I imagine my kin and myself to be a privileged people.
I am guilty of war if I believe a heritage entitles me to monopolize resources of nature.
I am guilty of war when I believe other people must think and live as I do.
I am guilty of war when I make success in life solely dependent upon power, fame, and riches.
I am guilty of war when I think the minds of people should be regulated by force, rather than by reason.
I am guilty of war when I believe the God I conceive is the one that others must accept.
I am guilty of war when I think that the land of a person’s birth must necessarily be the place of his or her livelihood.

The true articles of peace cannot be legislated but are drawn up in the personal aspirations and conduct of the millions of little people. When all people will frankly perceive their common dependence, an understanding will emerge that will transcend the barriers of time and space, creed, and race.

So Mote It Be!
