MAY 2023 ROSICRUCIAN MASS SERMON: NON-ATTACHMENT/DETACHMENT

To keep one’s focus on life, one has to remove such attachment as that which holds our fears and weaknesses. For example, the fear of death keeps us from living out our lives; some get absorbed with Heaven, Hell and Reincarnation. When life’s focus gets subjectively fixed on this, one has alienated themselves from themselves, when rather, they should learn to step back and see their lives from an objective distance. This kind of detachment will help us to discover meaning for our lives and bring us to an inner state of wonder and joy.

APRIL 2023 ROSICRUCIAN MASS SERMON: POLARITY & SYZYGY

With all the struggle over pantheons gods in the ancient world, they all had their own character, but each answered to the same concerns in the human psyche. In rushes a new paradigm; that of monotheism and the classical world comes to an end. But even in this is the duality of a good god and an evil devil; we just can’t escape the duality of this world, as our a-priori perception of the world. Operating as a polarity between the poles of negative and positive; removed from the stigma of good and evil, we find ourselves at the center of the Universe. And so we each are; the center being found everywhere, and the circumference found nowhere.

MARCH 2023 ROSICRUCIAN MASS SERMON: SHAKTI-PAT

In the Western Mystery Tradition, Shakti-Pat is the ‘laying on of hands’–connected also, to the phenomena known as the ‘Wandering Bishops.’ These semi-mythical Gnostic bishops are said to be the one who transmitted the Light of the Gnosis from time immemorial through to today. Gnosis doesn’t recognize authority in its churches, but rather generates authenticity as it reaches out to foster genius in its congregations.

FEBRUARY 2023 ROSICRUCIAN MASS SERMON: ZEITGEIST

The outer world is a mob mentality; that as a whole is an amalgam of all our thoughts, and more powerful than any one of us, individually. This the zeitgeist that we, in our individual sovereignty, need to objectify, as we turn our attention to the voice within ourselves. The sleeping mob would destroy one’s soul if you let it. Be in the world quietly, as your real self, express and bring forth that which is within you.

DECEMBER 2022 ROSICRUCIAN MASS SERMON: DETACHMENT

To begin the process of working the spiritual virtue called Detachment, we get to the heart of how to ‘know thyself. It’s where the Will pushes forward its subtle voice; out into the world. And from the perspective of the world, the Will is able to find an objective Idea of itself; free from all and any subjective obsession. I shows itself, as a mirror of the Self to the Self and the ruminating ego.

DECEMBER 2022 DONOR’S MASS & SERMON: THE POWER OF COIN

How can we connect to the true inner Coin? Let us attempt to create, to craft our own agreements, to mold and shape the world around us. Let begin with works of art, stories, and the mastery of our faculty of perception.

NOVEMBER 2022 ROSICRUCIAN MASS SERMON: THE EUCHARIST

Our Eucharist represents an alchemical formula that relies on the creative expression of an abstract idea that builds the body that houses Spirit into a formulation of Soul and a leap to immortality. It is that L.V.X. that truly issues from the early dawn of our Universe, as a Rose extending its Divine effulgence into all beings and all things. There is no part of me that is not of the gods! Know this for yourself, and Know Thyself, that you may be called ‘one who knows himself,’ and you will understand the depth of the All.

NOVEMBER 2022 DONOR’S MASS & SERMON: OUR LADY BABALON

At the center of the Gnostic Spirit is the restoation of Virtue to the Goddess, who has been abused, because hidden by men in the Tetragrammaton, and turned into a Beast by Daniel and the Christians. She is all but completely ignored by the Muslims, as the female is so hated in Arabic culture. We again celebrate the creative aspect of the Divine, and do not hate it like so many hate the Demiurge.

OCTOBER 2022 ROSICRUCIAN MASS SERMON: SPIRITUAL MATURITY

We all grow up to some level of maturity that provides for us, functionality in the world, and perhaps, functionality in our own private lives. And indeed, there is some Spirit in this, as such behavior and mental attitudes provide for us some semblance of liberty. But the height of Spirit is a fully developed Soul that must then attain to Gnosis. This special form of liberty can be referred to as absolute freedom. It is a fusion of spiritual knowledge with a functional capacity to impress our being on the world; that the world is something that much more for us having dwelled within it.
