October 1 - Mystical Poetry II
The November 1972 issue of the Rosicrucian Digest included an article entitled “Mystic Poetry” by Peter Bowden. We will continue to follow up on that article and consider how our mystical experience though ineffable is nevertheless eminently worth describing and sharing through various forms of creative expression. We will consider poetry in its wide-ranging forms for the conveyance of mystical experience and the emulation of the Cosmic. Join Hugh McCague as we continue to explore Rosicrucian laws and principles and their creative expression and application for the mastery of life, harmonious living, and service.
October 8 - Do We Help the Cosmic Mind to Become Self-Conscious?
The March 1984 issue of the Rosicrucian Digest included the article entitled “Is There a Universal Consciousness?” by Past Imperator Ralph M. Lewis. One of the remarkable and maturing insights of that article concerns how the Universal Consciousness becomes aware of Itself. Here lies a key to the Cosmic need of beings such as us and our purpose in life. Join Hugh McCague in this fascinating inquiry.
October 15 - Reincarnation: Do We Live Again?
While the present is the most important, we need to learn in various ways from our experiences of the past. The weekly studies and exercises of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC allow us to go deeper into understanding life and come to our own conclusions about such matters as whether we live again. In this manner, we will consider the doctrine of reincarnation. What are signs of it? Does it make sense in terms of our need to learn? Is it part of the law of vibration and other laws? Do sacred texts refer to reincarnation and we missed the reference? In this teleconference, Hugh McCague will lead us in exploring this intriguing subject.
October 22 - The Privilege of Sophia: Divine Wisdom and Her Presence in the Mysteries
The figure of Sophia holds special significance in Rosicrucianism and Martinism. Across traditions, she is considered a divine emanation, a creatrix, and the keeper of sacred wisdom, both lost and found. In this teleconference, Cheri Gandy will lead us in examining how the Sophia tradition coalesces into the sacred feminine thread that continues to weave itself throughout Rosicrucian and Martinist thought. We will explore many dimensions of this figure, as well as those of her counterparts – Isis, Eve, and Mary – through the lens of the Hebrew Bible, the writings of Jacob Boehme and Louis Claude de Saint-Martin, and the fourth century gnostic text “Thunder, Perfect Mind.”
October 29 - Sacred Geometry: The Realization of the Platonic Solids
The weekly studies and exercises of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC cover the ancient Greek philosophers. In this spirit, we note that the teachings of the Pythagoreans, Socrates, and Plato have a remarkable transmission through Plato’s account in the Timaeus. In this teleconference, Hugh McCague will lead us in considering one of the key features of that text; namely, the Platonic solids and their expression of the sacred through geometry and mathematics. To illustrate the point, we will explore how these special structures assist us to go deeper into knowledge of the microcosm and macrocosm.
