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)

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. ..

FAMOUS OPINION:

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

Mystics have always said that Egypt was the birthplace of the mysteries which then spread to other countries-Greece most particularly- over the centuries. This statement is borne out by the following excerpt.

The ancient authors emphasized the link between Orpheus and the Orphic tradition and Egypt. For instance, Diodorus Siculus wrote in his works: “Orpheus took his theology from the Egyptians; he brought from Egypt most of the mystical teletes and ceremonies concerning his own travels, as well as the mythical story of what takes place in Hades’world. Osiris’ telete is the same as that of Dionysus, and that of Isis is quite similar to that of Demeter; only the names have been changed.” Similarly, Plutarch and Demosthenes have stated that Orpheus brought the teletes of the Dionysian, Panathenean, Thesmophorian, and Eleusinian Mysteries to Athens, and that, having traveled to Egypt, he converted the mysteries of isis and Osiris into those of Deo and Dionysus and revealed the most sacred ceremonies to the Hellenes.

Diodorus Siculus demonstrated the existence of the same connection between the Egyptian ceremonies and the Eleusinian ceremonies. He also declared: “The Eumophides are the Egyptian priests brought to Hellas; the Ceryces are the pastrophores. The ceremonies of the Eleusinian Ceres are no djfferent than tiwse of Isis held in Egypt. According to widely accepted opinion, the Egyptians have revealed to other men the teletes of all the other gods. They were the first to announce the hiera and the sebasmia-that is, the forms and actions which cannot be revealed to the uninitiated and which the Mysteries of isis teach. And these Mysteries are none other than the aidoion of Osiris, abducted and sought by the goddess wearing seven cloaks and dressed in black.”

TELEPHATHY BY MENTAL HARMONIZATION

Beloved Frater,

TELEPHATHY  BY MENTAL HARMONIZATION

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

The comment below deals with telepathy by mental harmonization which is purely cerebral in nature.  However, it is also possible to communicate with others through the intermediary of Cosmic Consciousness. This latter method is called telepathy by mental projection.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

Of all parapsychological phenomena, telepathy has undoubtedly given rise to the largest number of investigations and experiments. Following the “salon telepathy” at the beginning of the century, a great research movement began in laboratories, both in the East and West But it is to J.B. Rhine that we owe the scientific recognition of telepathy. Among the thousands of tests which were conducted and their concurrent data, and thanks to the mathematical exposition of the test results, this paranormal communication between two persons (sender-receiver) became an established fact.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

It was, in fact, with this psychology professor at Duke University in North Carolina that the systematic study of extrasensory perception began. In 1932, with the backing of McDougall, director of Duke’s psychology department, Rhine founded the first university parapsychology laboratory. He employed a method based on statistics and formulated the results in a quantitative form. His research, based on the laws of probability and of large numbers, demonstrated the existence of a phenomenon not attributable to chance.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

The experiment called for the subject to visualize the symbol upon which the experimenter was concentrating. For these tests Rhine used a Zener deck, made up of 24 cards bearing five symbols: a circle, a cross, a rectangle, a square, and several wavy parallel lines. The cards were mixed and cut with the aid of a little machine. The researcher drew the first card, and the subject, separated from the researcher by a simple screen or by hundreds of kilometers, tried to guess what it was. And so on for the entire experiment The experimenter then noted the instances of agreement.  In the course of several thousand experiments, Rhine found that the scores of his subjects exceeded expectations based on the law of probability. These tests were conducted with subjects from many diverse backgrounds: men, women, children, gifted individuals, yogis, ill people, neurotics.. ., telepathy no longer being considered by them as a “gift, “ but as an inherent quality of the personality. It does not seem, in fact, to be linked to sex, age, race, degree of intelligence, or to any form of mental disorder.
