Rosicrucianism

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). Rosicrucian manifestos opposed Roman Catholicism and its preference for dogma over empiricism, similar to texts authored by the Protestant Reformer Martin Luther. Origins[edit] The Fama Fraternitatis presented the legend of a German doctor and mystic philosopher referred to as "Frater C.R.C." Reception[edit] Some[who?] Modern groups[edit] [edit] Essays

TOPY: Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth Are you satisfied with the way things are--in government, in education, in business, in our dealings with each other, in our laying waste the planet? Do you feel powerless to restore balance and health to the world? There is a way, composed of many Ways, that an individual can influence and direct the course of history unfolding now. To understand how this can happen, it's necessary to see and comprehend reality from points of view not taught in school or available as common knowledge. The dense level of reality which our bodies inhabit and which contains all that our senses percieve is like the screen in a TV set, only with more dimensions, sensations, and audience-participation capabilities. The Magickian uses Magick, the High Art, to enter the different realms that interwork to make images on the screen, thus gaining control of the nature and details of the images. What appears on the screen of physical reality arrives there by a similar inter-working factors. INTENT.

Jewish views on astrology In Hebrew, astrology was called hokmat ha-nissayon, "the wisdom of prognostication", in distinction to hokmat ha-hizzayon (wisdom of star-seeing, or astronomy). While not a Jewish practice or teaching as such, astrology made its way into the Jewish community, and became especially predominant in some books of Kabbalah. In the Bible[edit] Astrology is not specifically mentioned in the Torah, but there are two commandments which have been used by some authorities as a basis to forbid the practice. "You shall not practice divination or soothsaying." "When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to imitate the abhorrent practices of the nations. These commandments are understood by some rabbinic authorities[who?] "And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the raki’a of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for otot (signs), and for mo’adim (seasons), and for yamim (days), and shanim (years)" (Genesis 1:14) Some historians[who?]

Chavín culture The most well-known archaeological site of the Chavín era is Chavín de Huántar, located in the Andean highlands of the actual Ancash Region. It is believed to have been built around 900 BC and was the religious and political center of the Chavín people.[3] It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Achievements[edit] The chief example of architecture is the Chavín de Huántar temple. The people domesticated camelids, such as llamas. Art[edit] The Lanzón Stela at Chavín, still image from a video of a photo-textured point cloud using laser scan data collected by nonprofit CyArk The Chavín culture represents the first widespread, recognizable artistic style in the Andes. A general study of the coastal Chavín pottery with respect to shape reveals two kinds of vessels: a polyhedrous carved type and a globular painted type.[7] Stylistically, Chavín art forms make extensive use of the technique of contour rivalry.

Kaliya Krishna dancing over the subdued Kaliya Naag, and his wives asking Krishna for his mercy. From a Bhagavata Purana manuscript, c. 1640. The proper home of Kāliya was Ramanaka Dwipa, but he had been driven away from there by fear of Garuda, the foe of all serpents. Garuda had been cursed by a yogi dwelling at Vrindavan so that he could not come to Vrindavan without meeting his death. Once Krishna and herdboys were playing ball, and while playing Krishna climbed up the Kadamba tree and hung over the river bank, the ball fell into the river and Krishna jumped after it. Kāliya, recognizing the greatness of Krishna, surrendered, promising he would not harass anybody. Krishna Conquers the Serpent Kaliya (Page from a Dispersed Bhagavata Purana Series)- Brooklyn Museum History[edit] Kaliya Daman, c. 1880. The history of Krishna and Kāliya is told in Chapter Sixteen of the Tenth Canto of the Bhagavata Purana. In Punjab there were two small states of rulers belonging to this Kaliraman. See also[edit]

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn The three founders, William Robert Woodman, William Wynn Westcott, and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers were Freemasons and members of Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (S.R.I.A.).[5] Westcott appears to have been the initial driving force behind the establishment of the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn system was based on hierarchy and initiation like the Masonic Lodges; however women were admitted on an equal basis with men. The "Golden Dawn" was the first of three Orders, although all three are often collectively referred to as the "Golden Dawn". The First Order taught esoteric philosophy based on the Hermetic Qabalah and personal development through study and awareness of the four Classical Elements as well as the basics of astrology, tarot divination, and geomancy. The Second or "Inner" Order, the Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis (the Ruby Rose and Cross of Gold), taught proper magic, including scrying, astral travel, and alchemy.

The peak of the so-called "Rosicrucianism furor" was reached when two mysterious posters appeared on the walls of Paris in 1622 within a few days of each other. The first said, "We, the Deputies of the Higher College of the Rose-Croix, do make our stay, visibly and invisibly, in this city (...)" and the second one ended with the words;
