Famous Opinion on psychometry 

This quotation from the  pen of Dr. J.R. Buchanan, a researcher who performed many experiments in this field. It was he, in fact, who coined the word psychometry to describe this faculty.

In the higher class of phenomena there is no feeling or perception of a delicate emanation. The picture or the word simply tells the thing to be explore4 and gives this information to an interior faculty independent of vision. That interior faculty grasps the idea in its essence, which we have offered, and then grasps the object in its wide-reaching consciousness. Whether it be a city in China or Africa, a saint or leader whose name has almost disappeared in the twilight of history, a prehistoric race on earth, or a body in our planetary system, it is conceived, understood, and reported. The divine realm of universal consciousness or intellectual omniscience seems to be occupied by man and either he comes into rapport with that limitless sphere of intelligence, or that intelligence is dormant within himself and is roused by an effort to assert its powers.

If that be the case then the exercise of Psychometry is nothing less than a display of INTUITION-the manifestation of an interior power which is master of all truth. This power is the divine elements in man.

Famous Opinion about Character

 

 

 “It is character that guides us from life to life until we reach the spiritual mountaintop.” Thus, it is important that we improve our character and make it the foundation of the work to be accomplished as we perfect the evolution of our soul personality.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

The glorious enfoldment of our dormant powers in repeated lives presents a spectacle magnificent beyond appreciation, and approaches more grandly than any other conception to the sublimity of human development….

The practical application of this truth not only dispels the haunting enigmas of life, but incites us to the strongest habits of virtuous conduct in ourselves, and of generous helpfulness toward others. It inspires us to nurture all the means of developing noble traits, since the promise of all good, and the only highway out of the bogs of physical life into the mountain heights of spirituality, is character.

—EDWARD DWIGHT WALKER, 1859-1890    (Reincarnation)

THE PSYCHIC INFLUENCE OF VOWEL SOUNDS:

THE PSYCHIC INFLUENCE OF VOWEL SOUNDS:

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

 

 

The effect of vowel sounds is not limited to the physical body-that is, to the organs and vital functions-in that the intonation of vowel sounds also produces specific effects on our psychic being and our aura.

 

THE PSYCHIC INFLUENCE OF VOWEL SOUNDS:

Human beings possess twelve psychic centers whose role is the accumulation and distribution throughout our entire being of the cosmic essence that emanates from the sun and permeates the earth’s atmosphere.

This essence animates the immaterial counterpart of all our cells and constitutes the source of life as it manifests on our planet and, most probably, on other solar systems.

Our survival does not simply depend upon oxygen found in the air. Oxygen is only one of two components of the positive polarity of Vital Life Force (AMORC loaded language). As a chemical element, its role is limited to our body’s purely physiological activities.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

For mystics, it is obvious that human beings are endowed with a spiritual dimension transcending the organic functions of the physical body. In fact, we know perfectly well that it is this spiritual dimension which accounts for the act of incarnating and for the necessity of evolving through contact with matter.

The role of the psychic centers is not simply limited to the foregoing, because they provide us with more than the vital energy which we need physiologically. Indeed, seven of these centers-the pineal, pituitary, thyroid, thymus, pericardium, solar plexus, and suprarenals-are also responsible for the perception of extrasensory phenomena. In other words, they enable us to perceive the vibrations to which our physical senses are insensitive, making it possible for us to apprehend manifestations of the invisible world.

That is why some Mystics consider these centers especially important and try to develop their activity gradually. Among the methods used, the intonation of vowel sounds is one of the most effective.

Famous Opinion about Spiritual Alchemy

 

Does alchemy have a hidden meaning? This is what was written on the subject by the mysterious Basil Valentine: “Be aware that philosophers, by foresight, have written various things, so that the ignorant only tending towards gold or silver were deceived.” There exists a spiritualistic conception of alchemy, according to which the successive phases of the Philosopher’s Stone, the “chemical” operations, described in reality the successive purifications of the human being in his search for illuminating Knowledge.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

Thus, alchemical symbolism did not apply to matter but an inner asceticism. The matter upon which it must work is man himself “You are the very matter of the Great Work” (Grillot de Givry). As for the Philosopher’s Stone, it designates the goal of initiation: man transformed. Thus, alchemy is none other than the purification of being, which makes man capable of gaining access to Supreme Knowledge.

“Philosophic Mercury” is the principle of the universal Life of nature as well as Redemption through asceticism. The theory of the homunculus itself has a hidden meaning: it is the symbol of our new birth, of man’s spiritual resurrection through initiation. Just as many living organisms appear to originate from matter by putrefaction, likewise is man capable of elevating himself from his habitual corruption.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

The pursuit of gold is in reality the discovery of incorruptible and purely spiritual treasures. It is our being which must be purified. The phase of putrefaction, of “blackness,” through which the Philosopher’s Stone passes, designates in reality the spiritual state which St. John of the Cross called “the dark night of the soul,” the negative state where man measures his unworthiness, a descending movement in which the individual believes that he touches the bottom of the abyss, but which is necessary for his further progress.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

Thus, for initiates the “Philosopher s Stone” is wisdom, intuition, and the spiritual process by which we draw nearer to God. To find this Stone is to find the secret of natural and divine laws, thanks to a perfect Knowledge acquired by Illumination. The true alchemist sees God in all things, transforms the evil of the world into good, shows himself ready to help his neighbor. ..

Extract from “The Prisoner of San Jose” Sixth Temple Degree Initiation

Extract from  “The Prisoner of San Jose”

 

Sixth Temple Degree Initiation

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

A few days before my first stay in a motel, the following incident occurred:

AMORC gives temple degree initiations in their lodges. Members

are encouraged to receive the initiation at the lodge once they reach

that degree level in their home study. I was already in the eighth temple

degree but had only received the first five degree initiations in the

lodge. The sixth temple degree was scheduled to be given the next

Sunday.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

Saturday, during the day, I met Pauline, who was also a member

Of  AMORC. Pauline and I dated for about a month. She was the only

person that I ever dated in the Miami lodge.

In fact, when I saw her that Saturday, she told me that the members

of the lodge had noticed that we were dating and were talking

about us. Compulsively, I replied to Pauline, “When you are practicing

true mysticism, you do not waste your energy worrying about

others’ criticism.”

It was only after I replied that I realized that I had quoted something

I had read in AMORC’s quarterly publication. At that moment,

I thought that quick answer was proof that I was evolving spiritually.

Now I know that it was proof that I was becoming a human parrot,

programmed by the so-called cosmic masters with direct quotes, rendered

with precision, from official AMORC literature.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

Pauline and I talked for a little while that day. She asked me

whether I was going to be taking the sixth temple degree initiation

the next day. I told her I would not, because I didn’t think I was ready,

even though I had studied past that degree in my home sanctum.

We said goodbye, and I went off to drive my taxi.

 

By 7:30 pm, I had a passenger coming from the airport going to

downtown Miami. While I was proceeding peacefully through a

green light, a lady came flying through the red light and crashed into

my car.

Right after the crash, I heard that same inner voice again: “This

happened because you refuse to receive the sixth-degree initiation tomorrow.”

The accident happened right behind the downtown Miami police

station. A police car showed up almost instantly. The policeman

who came was Cuban, and the lady who had driven through the light

was also speaking Spanish. She didn’t lie about going through the

red light. She simply said she was lost and that this neighborhood

was bad, and she wanted to get out of this part of town quickly. She

was taking the time to flirt with the Spanish-speaking policeman, and

soon neither of them even noticed me.

The Protean Self

Right after the accident, a white man came to my rescue. He told

the policeman that he had seen the lady going through the red light.

He also told me that he was a friend of the general manager of the Yellow

Cab Company, which was the company I was driving for.

Despite the importance of his intervention, I was not paying any

attention to the man. I was mostly thinking about why I didn’t want

to take the sixth temple initiation on Sunday. I was too busy blaming

myself for the accident.

Right then, I decided to go the next day to receive the initiation.

Still in a daze, I called a tow truck, took the car to the station, and then

went home.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

The next day, I was one of the first at the lodge to line up for the

sixth temple degree initiation.

After the initiation, Pauline asked me whether I had understood

the mystical meaning of a certain statement made during the initiation.

I told her I hadn’t heard it.

Looking back, I realize that I hadn’t heard anything that was said

during the initiation. In fact, I blocked it all out from my mind. All

my experience, everything that happened to me, was now filtered

through my relationship with AMORC..........
