Qualities that Make It Unique<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Inquirers typically request a comparison between the Fellowship and another organization. Other groups may change from year to year, but it is possible to list certain qualities which together make The Rosicrucian Fellowship unique, even among organizations that use the word, Rosicrucian, <\/em>\u00a0in their names.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rosicrucian Fellowship:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Has never been affiliated with any other organization.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Does not charge for its teachings.\u00a0 There are no dues, fees, or solicitations.\u00a0 The work is carried on by means of freewill offerings.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Emphasizes esoteric Christianity and the devotional\/heart path as well as the mind path, its goal being to achieve a perfect balance between head and heart.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. By its esoteric interpretations of the Bible, sheds light on the Christian mysteries, provides insight into Christ\u2019s true mission and His gospel of love, and prepares students for universal brotherhood.\u00a0 \u201cThat Christ Jesus is our ideal\u201d is integral to the Rosicrucian Fellowship program.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Recognizes that as differentiated Spirits in God we are reborn again and again on the physical plane in bodies of increasing efficiency to learn the lessons incident to material existence, and to unfold our latent divine potentialities into dynamic powers.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Promotes self-forgetting love and service; the ideal is that the teachings be used to help others, not to serve one\u2019s self.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Studies principles of right living and practices spiritual healing.\u00a0 The healing work is carried on mainly by work in the invisible planes during the patients\u2019 sleep.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Uses spiritual astrology as a tool for self understanding and for understanding others \u2013 for healing and for guidance; and to link the fundamental elements of science and religion for a comprehensive understanding of the universe.<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Imparts the Rosicrucian teachings which the Elder Brothers formulated to counterbalance\u00a0a growing materialism that had increased physical knowledge but almost extinguished the Light of the Spirit; this in order to further the evolution of mankind and prepare humanity for The Aquarian Age.<\/li>\n
  10. Gives advanced exercises to probationers only when they are completely ready, and then these exercises are customized for each individual.<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. Prepares disciples for initiation on the higher planes; no initiation ceremonies or rituals take place in the physical world.<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. Offers a philosophy that benefits those who are self-motivated and capable of independent study.\u00a0 Self-reliance is strongly encouraged, not only in the area of study, but in all areas of life and endeavor.<\/span><\/li>\n
  13. Was founded by Max Heindel, messenger of the Brothers of the Rose Cross; has no secret handshake or grip and does not issue membership cards.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
