Bridge Across the Brook

Ger W quotes Max Heindel in Chapter 10 of Max Heindel and The Rosicrucian Fellowship [behind the BOOKS tab]. After the Easter sunrise sevice of April 12, 1914, Heindel addressed those who gathered at the Founder’s Cross, saying in part:
Haitian Tree of Life
“The second cutting [of the tree of life] was to be used in Solomon’s Temple. No one could appreciate it except the Queen of Sheba, no place could be found for it, for Solomon’s Temple is the consummation of the arts and craft, and in a material civilization nothing spiritual is appreciated. The sons of Cain are working out their salvation along material lines, and therefore they have no use for spiritual powers. So it was used as a bridge across the brook. There are always souls, the real, true Mystic Masons, who have been able to make use of that bridge, which leads from the visible to the invisible, who are able to return to the Garden of Eden, to Paradise, across that bridge.”
Chapter 10 Still More Building Activities, describes the creative bursts of – editing the already-published manuscripts for the book, Freemasonry and Catholicism; drawing plans for a new classroom and performance-hall building; holding the first healing service; building a new cafeteria to replace the too-small kitchen and dining room; and laying the cornerstone for The Ecclesia.
