Did Christian Rosenkreutz ever live?
And did he ever die? Like a silent pledge
over centuries, the embodiment of a secret
existence, when the leaking of the Fama
Fraternitas set a flurry of intellectual angst all over Europe
that became an unfulfilled pursuit of what could not be found in texts
and could not be sought in a Lodge of practice?
Was it a joke on Europe? Was it a hoax? Was it an indication blaming
the malady that beset Europe. Esotericism was
never such a bigger enigma than The Rosicrucian
Treatise, not just in a manuscript but a divine allegory?
The quizzical question that is denied the answer even when
asked by a million tongues? You must find the alchymical wedding
is a welding of the instruments of body and soul as the nature of creation.
Not a consummation resulting in erotica, but a deep divide between
mortal instinct and immortal consciousness. The question is of who serves who?
Who obliviates who? And is the purpose of existence resolved?
Success is that the pursuit of knowledge be withdrawn, for the
precedence of revelation, which is beyond script or scroll,
beyond handed down education That the wedding takes you into a dissolution
for an antimattered cosmic realisation, to the source; to
the divinity of a spark of a particle of Universal Soul,
that takes form through the dust of material existence.
that we are the microcosmic annealing and fusion of matter and a deeper consciousness
reflecting the macrocosmal existence. And somehow,
to ascend in a transformation where the soul is distilled
and deposited in gold. Who pursued unsuccessfully through the ages
the philosophical stone, without the knowledge that
it abides within us? The alchemical opus is the transformation
of our embodiment from lead to gold and the enhancing of spirit revoluting
in a transmigration, the higher it gets, the nearer it gets to the source.
What is the rosy cross, but the significance of the four elements
like petals breaking out of the predominant existence of the rose
of the ethereal spirit, that lies at the heart of our manifested
eternal existence of birth and rebirth till the ultimate consciousness
that, itself, also takes upon the task of accompanying us in the rising and dying all through!
If we could see with our eyes and hear with our ears!
And the immense burden of the patient everlasting spirit would, then, get lighter!
