AMORC IS A SHEEP IN WOLF’S CLOTHING
How does life arise?
According to AMORC, it all happens because of the 7th Law of the Nodin Manuscript which is enunciated in Monograph No. 3 of Degree 4 in the Initiate section. The law states:
Life results from the interaction produced on the surface of the Earth between the two polarities of Nous, this interference manifesting by the combined action of the four principals of nature.
In its description of life’s origins, AMORC states that the elements of fire, air, earth and water arise from the union of the Vital Life Force and Sprit. Their combination “enables life to manifest on this planet.”
It then takes somewhat of a leap and says-
Planetary life is, therefore, the macrocosmic reflection of cellular life, for it comes from the merging of two complementary energies- one coming from space that is of an electrical nature, and one radiating from Earth that is of a magnetic nature.
Why do I say “leap?” Well, now Vital Life Force from the Sun is identified with electricity and Spirit from Earth is identified with magnetism. But those identifications were not really developed in the monograph. Nor was any reason why “planetary life” is a mirror of “cellular life.”
So when AMORC concludes the paragraph with the triumphant announcement that-
On all planes and in all realms, we can therefore state that the Hermetic Tablet applies to the same laws- namely, that which is above is like that which is below.
-we do really wonder if anything here has really been said at all.
Why all this talk of cosmology? What purpose does it serve?
The answer is that is necessary for a Mind Control system, which caters to spiritual hunger, to address all the basic questions of human existence. As I spoke about in The Prisoner of San Jose, I, like many other potential recruits, was looking for real answers to profound questions. This is part of the allure of the Rosicrucians, some of which we will examine in the next blog.
