Letter to AMORC French Grand Master Serge Toussaint, AMORC English Grand Master Julie Scott, AMORC Spanish Grand Master Jose Luis Aguilar Moreno, AMORC Dutch Grand Master Nicholas Bakker, EGL Board Vice President Lonnie Edwards

I was interested to see you are writing a blog actively promoting the cult AMORC.  So I have concluded that, unlike Christian Bernard, you are not hiding since the publication of my two books, The Prisoner of  San Jose and AMORC Unmasked. To me, this evidences a kind of courage, perhaps based on your profound conviction that AMORC is the true and best way to develop Cosmic Consciousness and reach the apex of divine awareness.  For this reason, perhaps, you are willing to meet me half-way and address my questions and observations about AMORC, developed after 24 years of membership.

BUT I’M ONLY A FOLLOWER… WHO CARES ABOUT ME?

The reality is that the culture of AMORC is akin to the culture of the Roman Empire. After all, Imperator means Emperor. And, in Rome, the Emperor was considered a god. So the Culture of AMORC is a dictatorship.

If you truly believe in spiritual truth, you must admit that playing “follow the leader” is not exactly the way to get direct experience and certain guidance from the Highest Power.
Perhaps leaders can help point the way- but it is up to you to understand the limitations of having your guidance come through another human being.
Even AMORC, as an organization, understands this- because the Imperator does not appoint his successor but is chosen by “The Great White Brotherhood :)”.
So, no matter what you do, you need to take responsibility for being a member of an organization that clearly states it provides a way to experience guidance directly from God- called in Rosicrucian parlance, the Cosmic.
And that is all very well if you believe it- and have authentically gone through the laborious efforts needed to validate AMORC’S claims and have decided that my testimony and theory about AMORC is invalid, then God bless you. You have at least made an effort at finding the truth.
But, if, you as a member, think that AMORC may be engaged in activities as I have outlined in The Prisoner of San Jose and AMORC Unmasked- you are obligated to put yourself on a fact-finding mission to investigate the truth of these activities. Not only for yourself- but also for your brothers and sisters who may be lured into what I consider a most deceptive tender trap.
That’s what I think you have an obligation to do. And I am exercising my sense of responsibility of putting my time and effort to continuing to investigate, writing books and creating this blog.
And who cares about you- and how you go about finding your personal truth? Why I do! That’s why I’m here.

AMORC AND INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

The reality is that the culture of AMORC is akin to the culture of the Roman Empire.   After all, Imperator means Emperor. And, in Rome, the Emperor was considered a god. So the Culture of AMORC is a dictatorship.

We have been discussing the “ethics of belonging’ to any kind of organization with a societal impact.  And is there any doubt that an organization that considers itself the very ultimate in spiritual power and authority- that suggests that its members intervene astrally in the affairs of nations; that has, throughout its history, suggested specific, untested healing protocols to its members; that has promoted recruitment through family and friends- has some kind of intended impact, if nothing else, but by drawing to itself a large variety of people from nations throughout the world.  And have I not disclosed these teachings in great detail in my book, AMORC Unmasked?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

When one belongs to an organization- any organization, there is a certain culture. In my past blogs, I described changes that may be occurring in the AMORC culture.  These changes indicate a level of economic pressure possibly impinging on the day-to-day environment and culture of the local lodges. And when people are under pressure, they tend to crumble a bit from within. They tend to get more angry, more vulnerable, more rude to each others.

INTRIGUE HAUNTS NYC LODGE CLOSING  (Continued)

Sunday, December 11, 2011

The members of Lodges and Pronaos in the New York City area reported at 5:00 Pm for the meeting in the New York City Lodge. They completed their Convocation in their respective lodges and those that were driving to the New York Lodge rode together

At the meeting, the Envoy from San Jose, introduced her story in a completely different light. Paraphrasing the Envoy, “…San Jose has to choose between two places to create an AMORC cultural center: New York City and Miami Lodge.  In the last analysis, San Jose decided to create their programs in New York City instead of Miami.”

I am continuing to receive information from an interesting insider to recent Rosicrucian events in New York.  The following comments, while containing his or her true accounts of these events, generally paraphrases the comments of other
participants, even though I am placing these comments in quotations.

On Sunday December 4, 2011 NYC Lodge has a convocation as usual. Following the convocation, an Envoy from San Jose made a surprising announcements.

1. AMORC will be creating a cultural center at the location where the NY City Lodge is located. That is, 32 Irving Place, New York, NY 1003 will no longer be the home of the New York City Lodge but will become the home of an AMORC Cultural Center.  The center will start in March 2012

THE CORPORATE CULTURE OF AMORC

AN OPEN LETTER TO CHRISTIAN BERNARD,
VENERATED IMPERATOR OF AMORC-The Cult of H. Spencer lewis

I have been alluding to reports from members of strange changes in the atmosphere of AMORC- between the Grand Lodges and local lodge, between local lodges themselves- and between members.  I think this is partially economically based, but there may be more to it.

DISSENSION IN THE LOWER RANKS of AMORC

AN OPEN LETTER TO CHRISTIAN BERNARD,
VENERATED IMPERATOR OF AMORC-The Cult of H. Spencer lewis

As I have mentioned, there appears to be some discord between the local lodges and the Grand lodges. Further, there has been a demand for more time commitments for the volunteer officers in the local lodges. And I have surmised,  that there is some kind of economic pressure stepping hard on the shoulders of the Rosicrucian organization.

Comment on a Review of my book “The Prisoner of San Jose”-Reviewer (Sam Amenta -MA) gave 4 out of 5 stars

FYI to all my readers. My next project on AMORC will be emerging at some point in 2012.

I found this book to be quite interesting. No matter what one's opinion of AMORC is (and it seems everyone commenting has a strong opinion on AMORC) Freeman's journey seems typical for someone who feels marginalized and believes they will gain self worth by joining some kind of group.

IS AMORC’S CULTURE IN DECLINE?

AN OPEN LETTER TO CHRISTIAN BERNARD,
VENERATED IMPERATOR OF AMORC-The Cult of H. Spencer lewis

                                             Please help me with all this!
According to what I have heard, there is a disturbance in the local lodges- in their meetings and even between lodges.
Part of the problem appears to involve the economics of the Grand Lodge.
