The International School of the Golden Rosycross:

An Introduction

The Introductory Booklet invites the seeker to a fundamental investigation about the meaning of life. Therefore, a clear understanding about the Spiritual Path of the Golden Rosycross will emerge and the seeker will be able to find an interconnectedness between his search and the School's principles.

The Introductory Booklet is divided into five parts, each one followed by its subdivided subject lessons:

PART 1 - The quest for the meaning of life;

PART 2 - The heart of religion;

PART 3 - The two nature orders;

PART 4 - The human being as a microcosm;

PART 5 - The holy desire.

Read and excerpt of Part 1 and Part 3 of the Introductory Booklet.

PART 1 The quest for the meaning of life.

Who am I?

What is the real purpose of my life?

Perhaps you are no longer satisfied by the conventional answers to these questions, and feel driven by a very deep-seated inner urge to find some indefinable, missing 'something.'

PART 3 The two nature orders.

What is my understanding of the duality of life?

What forces drive my perception, my thinking and my actions?

In our yearning for absolute values - for lasting peace, love and truth - we often tend to overlook this inevitable fact. The properties of the physical world are never constant. They are always in conflict with one another and are incompatible with each other. The two nature orders are known in the School by the Dialectics. This dialectical world includes not only the material visible world in which live but also the invisible realms where our subtle bodies inhabit. What is the effect of the two nature orders in our life?...
