Elementary Philosophy Of The Modern Rosycross Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Our understanding of spiritual matters is often heavily tinted by the perceptions and conditioning of the I-central self. In 'Elementary Philosophy of the Modern Rosycross', Jan van Rijckenborgh endeavors to cut through this conditioning and allow us to glimpse the reality behind these things, as seen from the point of view of the higher, divine Self - whose resurrection is taught in the School of the Golden Rosycross. Subjects covered include: the Brotherhood, the Christ-impulse, magic, initiation, involution-evolution, reincarnation, the struggle between good and evil, the alternation of opposites, the Fall, the subtle bodies, life after death, healing, the relationship between men and women, prayer, the Bible, and the lifestyle and diet appropriate for a spiritual seeker.

The striking title of the book was the direct reason for me to buy this book quite a couple of years ago. It is always nice to have a book on the shell in which you can quicly find a few things of what a certain group / streaming has to say about certain things and back then I lacked some descent Rosicrucian (is that really Rosycrucian?) literature. This was also my first encounter (I believe) with the excellent writer Jan van Rijckborgh (also see "The Chinese Gnosis" review). My Dutch copy is already of 1981 and just as "The Chinese Gnosis" printed by "Rozekruis Pers", the Dutch official Rosicrucian publisher. This relatively small book deals with a lot of interesting subjects such as "the three capacities that have to be awoken", "the Christushierarchy" (a beloved Rosicrucian concept), "Magic", "initiation", "involution - evolution", "the wheel of birth and death", reincarnation, spiritism, hypnotism, magnetism, attitude to life (nicotine, alcohol, drugs), politics, the Bible, etc., etc. Very helpfull for a quick overview of Rosicrucian teachings and ways of looking at certain things. Also very nice to read some rather unusual approaches. Tip number one for everyone who want to learn some basic things about Rosicrucian thinking.
It gives you the how's and why's of the Gnostic way of life. Why be vegetarian? Why abstain from alcohol, smoke and narcotics? Why avoid leather clothing? What kind of prayers are answered by the Gnosis, and other types answered by other entities.
Very thought provoking.
