“Then as he begins to cut it, the changes are not so apparent even though harder work and more hours are spent in making the improvement.” Metaphors and analogies are tools commonly applied by religious texts. From the parables in the Book of Matthew, to the koans of Zen Buddhism, stories and riddles are used by these texts to provide humans with a personal understanding of difficult moral and philosophical conundrums. Often these stories underscore a previous stated religious principle. See for example, how Jonah’s abandonment of his mission to God was met by harsh punishment, and how that idea linked to the principle of obedience to God’s commandments. In the monographs of the Rosae Crucis the parable will often precede the principle, if indeed the principle is ever clearly stated. Deliberate confusion and obfuscation is a powerful tool for any cult, the less followers truly know, the less they can question. Here, the Class Master creates such an analogy to explain the indefinable sense of frustration an individual feels as they progress deeper into the doctrine. After all, even an individual with weak faculties of deduction can perceive that these promises of untold cosmic power and personal fulfillment have yet to manifest. So how can that disconnect between reality and doctrine be managed? Blame the student. The monograph is littered with similar statements; you can read throughout the text at: https://www.amorconline.com/articles/22-Analytical-Series-no-3-Master-Monograph-Section-Neophyte-Atrium-3

Religion / Re: Who Is Worshiping Idol Now?; Traditionalist Asks As He Shares These Photos by 4amorc(m): 7:50pm On Dec 05, 2017 |
“When I have discussed this matter with authorities they have frankly admitted that there are only two methods whereby such a complete house cleaning can be brought about. One is through the creation of a perfect spiritual understanding: the other is through a complete mystical understanding of the cosmic principles of life.” What makes cults and indeed any religion alluring is the fact they offer concrete answers to some basic human concerns. Loneliness, anxiety, stress, depression and heartbreak; where traditional science and medicine offers theories, facts and figures, cult doctrine and religious texts promise salvation. In the case of most the world’s major religions, this salvation can be found through supplication to a higher power. A sublimation of the ego, in service of a greater morality imposed by God, the closer one follows these edicts, the closer one becomes to God, and thus to the answerer of all things. AMORC borrows cannily from these ideas, allying itself with the traditions of Christ and other religious figures. “I have discussed this with Christian clergymen and others” However, AMORC differentiates itself from these “contradictory”, “difficult to understand” religions by claiming that the answers need not be found in the afterlife. No indeed, the ultimate cosmic truth that the spiritual seeker is looking for can be found right here, through the monographs. At many points in this text, the full content of which you can read at www.amorconline.com, the Class Master makes reference to unseen authorities who fully support AMORC’s findings and conclusions. Thus, not only do the Rosae Crucis assume the reputation and credibility of these authorities, they surpass them.

Religion / Re: Mentally Challenged Woman Healed At RCCG Holy Ghost Congress - Autoreportng by 4amorc(m): 7:47pm On Dec 05, 2017 |
“The more cultured and sensitive the nature, the more likely is the woman to become affected by some jealous impression, and the more she will keep this emotion secret and burn inwardly rather than let anyone know about it.” The class master’s introduction in this monograph starts by establishing a personal link between the reader, and the writer. The monograph cleverly throws out a variety of Barnum statements geared towards each possible reader, in an effort to gain intimacy and empathy in the mind of the student. Barnum statements are a technique used as a part of cold reading; those familiar with the methods by so-called psychics and fortune tellers will be well familiar with how a normal routine goes. Essentially the mystic will make a series of vague statements that align with the beliefs and wishes of large groups of people. While the idea behind the statements will be broad, the trained cold reader will be able to use their perceived authority and psychological insight to frame them in a manner that makes them seem wholly personal. Even if the statement has no bearing on your reality, it will still be broad enough for you to pick and choose the parts that fit your personal life. For those who are already indoctrinated, such statements will ring true as keenly observed and wise. In this part of the monograph, the class master uses a series of unnamed authorities to elucidate upon the emotional disturbances experienced by women, and men. “Men are more likely to express enmities of a personal nature than are women and therefore become grouchy on subjects related to the emotional attitude.” The monograph is littered with similar statements; you can read throughout the text at: https://www.amorconline.com/articles/22-Analytical-Series-no-3-Master-Monograph-Section-Neophyte-Atrium-3

“There is absolute quiet. A wonderful feeling of safety and peace pervades this room.” In the introduction to this monograph the class master assures each reader that they will make “the most interesting cosmic contacts you have ever experienced”. The entire passage is available at www.amorconline.com . This part of the monograph is geared towards one main brainwashing technique, visualization. Visualization is a technique as old as time, it formed the basis for religious practices dating back to Chinese Buddhism in which “Maitreya Visualization” was one of the 6 sutras. In ancient texts the practice involved mentally constructing an image of a specific object or scene, in many cases there was a reverential or devotional aspect ascribed to these meditations. In our text, the class master asks students to visualize the room, as described above; going into great detail to help readers gain a clear image in their mind, “visualize yourself in a room with the walls , ceiling , and floor all of stone with only a small rug, a small washstand, a single iron bed, a table with two chairs , and a small wardrobe.” The purpose of this vivid imagery is to bypass the brain’s conscious thought processes. For the mind’s eye, seeing really is believing. Constant visualization is one of the most powerful tools imaginable, and it can be used for good or evil. Many people who have achieved great things attribute their success to imagining themselves in the positions and lifestyles they’d like to be; literally turning dreams into reality. On a neural level, visualization creates new pathways in the brain that trigger real actionable habits to coalesce. In this case, the monograph is focused on a particular goal. To attune the reader into a sense of calm acceptance, it then links that feeling to a clear mental picture of seclusion and solitude. In essence the reader is being taught to associate mental and emotional wellbeing with isolation.

“He doth withdraw himself to look in, may presently afford unto him perfect ease and tranquility.” We begin this analysis by looking at a fairly advanced level monograph that is thus marketed towards students well on their path towards total indoctrination. The “Illuminati Section” which now comprises the 12th degree of AMORC’s many monographs, promises spiritual seekers the power to become intermediaries between the divine cosmic and the grand Imperator himself. Let’s examine how this monograph goes about establishing those claims. The famous opinion, which sets the theme for this monograph, is drawn from the great authority of famed Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius. The full passage which can be found on www.amorconline.com seems to expound upon the benefits of isolation and separate from society. According to the Emperor, instead of retiring to “country villages...seashore and mountains”, one can find peace and ultimate self-knowledge through a detailed examination of the soul. AMORC is unique in that it does not require personal interaction in order to propagate its mind control techniques; instead, followers are subtly manipulated to engage in these brainwashing practices on their own. Isolation from outsiders has long been a favored tool of cult leaders, by starving followers from their support systems, cults can dissuade students from engaging in an independent evaluation of the lessons being taught. Without outside influence, an individual increasingly relies upon the social network set up by AMORC. Eventually, a person will be willing to compromise even their most deeply held principles to ensure their status and stature within this group; not doing so would mean expulsion and at this point that just isn’t an option.
