AMORC position on abortion Part I

POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE UNVERIFIABLE

As we proceed to Degree 3, No. 6 of the Initiate Section, we now move towards the consequences that theoretical ideas might have. I think this is most dramatically demonstrated in AMORC’s attitude towards abortion.

According to AMORC, unlike most religious creeds that “state the life should enters the embryo at the very instant of conception,” AMORC says that

In my last blog, I continued my discussion of the concept of immortality as developed by the Rebirthers. In their writings, the Rebirthers distinguish between “deathists” and “immortalists.” Deathists believe in the death of the physical body. Immortalists believe in life everlasting, even for the physical body. They believe that the body itself, as suggested in the exoteric Gospels and letters of Paul- but also in certain esoteric writings, can be transformed into a new, spiritual body that has the property of immortality.

I am discussing different views of what AMORC calls “transition” and what common humanity calls “death,” not to proselytize a viewpoint but to counteract the specific dogmas propounded by AMORC to its members, who are encouraged to stay closely within the informational borders of the only true existing and living sacred fraternal tradition in the world.

In Monograph No. 10, Degree 8 in the Initiate Section, AMORC clearly states that the only thing that one can expect from death is ascent to the higher planes and, for many, inevitable reincarnation. All else is fantasy.

We return to the idea of the first breath in, Degree 3, No. 9 of the Initiate Section, which is fixated on the idea of death. AMORC says in a section labeled
“The Last Breath”-

As we mentioned, Degree 3, No. 9 of the Initiate Section, talks about educational ideals for children and the need for special sensitivity when the child is young.

We have seen how AMORC clearly wishes to establish that the first breath corresponds to the moment when the soul enters the human body. This point of view is commenced immediately at the opening of Degree 3, No. 9 of the Initiate Section, when it says,

From the moment infants draw their first breath, they become conscious, living beings who gradually awaken to the world and all of its limitations.

Despite this return to the dogma of breathing, I think there is a certain amount of good common sense in this monograph, at least in propounding certain abstract ideals. I, like AMORC, certainly believe that the perfect educational system should not simply address the physical and mental components of a child’s education. Surely, in a perfect world, there should be some consideration of the spiritual- but this is hard to do in a secular society in which compete religion and social doctrines.

For those interested, Krishnamurti may have come to rather strong ideas about education, but he is remembered as a spiritual teacher who rebelled against his Theosophical Masters.

As a child, Krishnamurti, an unknown Indian boy, was chosen by Anne Besant, the successor to Madame Blavatsky, the controversial founder of Theosophy and C.W. Leadbeater, the equally controversial associate of Anne Besant- to be the future messiah. I talk about some of the story in AMORC Unmasked-

I now will try and speculate a bit about why AMORC makes such a big deal out of defending an argument about the beginning of life that would justify abortion. This had baffled me for awhile- because there is such an emphasis on the life beginning with the “first breath” and the fetus being simply a physiological appendage of the mother, without any soul.
