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.

CREATE A SENSE OF GUILT

Make sure that members who do not conform to the group’s wishes feel really bad. Punish them psychologically, punish them physically- anything and everything that will do the trick.
Yes, I believe that guilt was a very big driver in my years as a Rosicrucian.

CREATE MULTIPLE TRIGGERS
TO INVOKE THE CULT PERSONALITY

Envelope them in exercises, ritual and special practices so that they walk, eat and sleep in specifically branded ways, reflecting Rosicrucian practices and traditions. By doing this, you will create multiple triggers to invoke the cult personality whenever doubt arises.

ANALYSIS OF ARTICLE 9 + FOSTER A FEELING OF GROUP SUPERIORITY

Give the member a sense of superiority and isolation from non-members. Label outsiders, enforce separation from outsiders, and make members paranoid about the value of outsiders.

ANALYSIS OF ARTICLE 8+  ISOLATING DOGMA

Create a set of practices and beliefs that can isolate the member from friends and family. Create an aura of secrecy or specialness about the members’ relationship to the cult. Whether you move up in the party echelon, take on special, official duties or get a higher degree- all can serve the same purposes.
In many ways, AMORC creates at the very beginning certain dogmas that creates a sense of uniqueness about AMORC. For one thing, in Mandamus No. 2, the monograph sets out the history of the order, focusing on how, in 1909, Dr. H. Spencer Lewis-

ESTABLISH SPECIAL OBLIGATORIES

Create busy work so that the student is fatigued to the point of sleep deprivation and therefore more vulnerable to suggestion. This could be reading assignments, special exercises, recruiting duties- as many extra responsibilities or assignments no matter how far away the actual leadership is.

ARTICLE 4 --DEVELOP A SACRED ENVIRONMENT--ANALYSIS

Have the member create an environment suitable for creating the hypnogogic state. Utilize costumes, special furniture, symbols, religious or political paraphernalia related to that environment. Brand that environment. The Nazis were superb at branding their environments. Adolph Hitler had his own personal architect for these buildings but he wound up in jail for most of his life.

ARTICLE 3
DEVELOP AN EXALTED AND INFALLIBLE LEADERSHIP

Create a sense that the current leadership, however remote, represents this authority. The member will therefore likely utilize his own unconscious tendencies towards psychological transference to irrationally enhance his belief and obedience to that authority. Whether one is speaking of Mao, Sun Myung Moon or H. Spencer Lewis, that person must be exalted to the highest level. Further, it wouldn’t hurt if some of that leadership were on invisible planes with superhuman powers, apparent only to the Elect on Earth.  
In Mandamus No. 2, a great deal of attention is focused on the

ARTICLE 2 -  CREATE A HOLY TEXT

Utilize a text or texts requiring repeated readings and study that creates the claim of unquestioning authority of the organization. These could be religious, political, psychological literature or even commercial texts like a sales or product manual. These texts are holy, not in a conventional sense, but in the sense they are meant to be unusually or even irrationally revered by members. In multi-level selling organizations, there is a phenomenon you could call multi-level fever. And for us, there were the Monographs.
