Rosicrucianism. Rosicrucianism is a philosophical secret society said[1] to have been founded in late medieval Germany by Christian Rosenkreuz.
It holds a doctrine or theology "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe and the spiritual realm. "[2] Rosicrucianism is symbolized by the Rosy Cross or Rose Cross. Between 1607 and 1616, two anonymous manifestos were published, first in Germany and later throughout Europe.[3] These were the Fama Fraternitatis RC (The Fame of the Brotherhood of RC) and the Confessio Fraternitatis (The Confession of the Brotherhood of RC).
The influence of these documents, presenting a "most laudable Order" of mystic-philosopher-doctors and promoting a "Universal Reformation of Mankind", gave rise to an enthusiasm called by its historian Dame Frances Yates the "Rosicrucian Enlightenment".[4] Origins[edit] Reception[edit] Some[who?] Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis.

The current open cycle of AMORC was activated by Harvey Spencer Lewis in 1915.[2] Lewis received authority to do so from the Supreme Council of the Rosicrucian Order after being tried, tested and finally initiated into the Order in 1909, Toulouse, France.

Biographies[edit] Count of St. The Georgia Guidestones. It was an ordinary Friday afternoon in 1979 when he first appeared at the Elberton Granite Finishing Company.
The well-dressed stranger told the owner that he wanted to build a granite monument of a scale and complexity that was unheard of even in a major hub of the granite industry.

To the shock and surprise of the locals, Mr. Christian made good on his intention to build the monument, and the Georgia Guidestones were unveiled to the world on the spring equinox of 1980. “Christian told Martin that he represented a group of individuals who had planned this project for more than 20 years, and that each one of the group was a loyal American who believed in God and country.
