Lectorium |
There exists a golden thread, which
leads out of the labyrinth of our broken reality and towards the Truth.
The Lectorium Rosicrucianum, or International School
of the Golden Rosycross, aims to help seekers find and form a
living connection with this shining filament, which is woven of love,
wisdom, knowledge (gnosis) and action. |

Divine Order |
It is not the I-central self, or personality,
that profits from the process of transfiguration as meant here, but
the inner, divine Self, which is awakened and enabled to become
increasingly active. This has tremendous results for the personality:
he or she becomes an instrument, a servant, of another Order, the
Divine Order, the 'kingdom not of this world', and in that state is
able to stand right in the midst of the world in the service of every
human being. |

Tradition
of |
The Lectorium Rosicrucianum is a modern
organization in the sense that its message is adapted to the strongly
individualized consciousness of twentieth and twenty-first century
humanity. However, it has deep roots in the past, for it is part of
the long and ancient tradition of Mystery Schools, and is a development
of earlier impulses of spiritual awakening such as those of the gnostics,
Albigenses, Cathars and classical Rosicrucians of the 17th century. |
Most importantly, this golden thread is a Path that can actually
be walked, a Path shown by all religions in their original form.
No Master or Initiate can give the Truth to another. It can only
be approached by our own efforts, and by persevering throughout
all the obstructions and difficulties we encounter on the way.
And it can only be reached through an inner process of transformation
called 'soul-rebirth', or 'transfiguration'. A bonafide School
points out the Path of transfiguration and teaches its pupils
how to follow it.
