ATRIUM DEGREE SUMMARY
Rosicrucian Knights of the Mystic Rose

Atrium degree is a threshold degree. It opens a new outlook to the man of the world as to what he would expect from affiliation to the Rosicrucian Teachings. It covers all the basic needs, desires, dreams of man to succeed in the physical plane. All beginners’ techniques and tools to master your own destiny and achieve success, peace and happiness in life are outlined in the Atrium degree.
The whole Atrium degree is divided into three sub-degrees, and totaling 44 monographs. It contains the most extensive discussion that a Rosicrucian aspirant needs to make possible total success and happiness. Foundation principles (cosmic laws) are ingrained by applying 23 experiments/exercises to trigger real psychic development.
The first atrium degree starts the discussion of the alchemy of wealth, the role of consciousness, the methods to reach abundance. The discussion of awakening wealth consciousness climaxes in the exercise of awakening the third thoracic ganglion.
Space and time were introduced as mental constructs, on one hand an illusion, on the other, a state of mind.
In the duality of man, he is equipped with an interactive tool called the five senses. But at the same time, the limitations of the five senses are indicated, leading us to the discussion of the unlimited mind and the exercise to develop intuition.
Unlike the prevailing scientific current which demands stark empirical objectivity, mystical science likewise employs scientific rigors, delving beyond the 5 senses, arriving at subjective yet verifiable and repeatable outcome. The mind, lending its creative power from the spiritual being in man. Energizing techniques are highlighted, starting from the top of the head, the third eye, to the heart.
“Affirmation” myths are debunked, the art of concentration upheld, in view of harnessing mental alchemy.
In borrowing money, there must be a legitimate need, as transactional (business-like) as possible, with the end in view of paying back. In collecting a debt, the cosmic law will not set aside the rights and interests of the person who owes you, nor force immediate settlement.
The art of thought transference, centering the gaze, crossing of the fingers, and willingness to observe the “extra mile principle” are all ingredients in successful and moral business dealings.
Despite man’s slow advance in development, neglecting his inner, spiritual progress, there is a saving factor that takes away attention to materiality, and made-up prize, like honor, position and all finite attainments. It is called universal attunement or Cosmic Consciousness. To advance thereof, the experiment on quickening of the subconscious is offered.
The Law of Compensation, as a secondary cosmic law, is made clear as a check valve that reminds us that moral demeanor is of utmost importance, lest we suffer the consequences of our actions.
All our problems of health and personal affairs have a cause within ourselves—violation of cosmic laws.
The formula to succeed in human endeavors rests in the creative power within—an essential part of the universal creative force God breathed into space.
Success begets success, as happiness begets happiness and joy.
Tolerance, sympathy, and love attune men not only to one another,
but to the universal laws and to the harmony of the Cosmic.
Of these, love is unquestionably the greatest law of the universe.
The essence of matter is energy, and is therefore vibratory.
Matter exists only because of spirit, and there is no matter without spirit.
The primary principle back of all creation is the energy called spirit.
Nothing exists to us except through vibrations.
We interpret vibrations through deductive approach and arrive at a mental image, which may not be real. Knowledge is an offshoot of experience. There is a need to awaken our psychic faculties.
Electrical nerve energy is the vibratory force called Vital Life Force.

The thought in your mind – through the nervous system – produces action and results. A thought is a complex of vibrations naturally coursing through and around the brain as an organ. The human brain has vital areas specific for different functions, like memorizing words and foreign languages, motor movement, speech, music, etc. The candle experiment will awaken mental powers. Experiment 10 declares to visualize what you want then stop thinking about it.

The second atrium covers affirmations, immortality, health and harmony, the law of attraction and personal magnetism. A short lesson on morality covers it all—mastering the art of “Eliminating the Ego.” That is, to forget, misleading, inflated theories about personal individuality.
Nirvana is defined as the utter absence of passions—the intense desires of a personal or selfish nature. Buddha said: “When the fire of lust has gone out, peace is gained; when the fires of hatred and delusion are gone out, then peace is gained; when troubles of mind arising from blind credulity and all other sins have ceased, then peace is gained.”
Psychic contacts made with soul personalities who have passed through transition. Cosmic attunement is enhanced by meditation, practice of unique breathing, burning of incense, chanting of vowel sounds. Experiment 14 reveals breathing exercises; experiment 15, on quickening of the pineal gland, experiment 16, on universal love; experiment 17, on healing; experiment 18, on left thumb-right thumb; experiment 19, left and right fingers touching each other, as in prayer; experiment 20, on both forefingers on both closed eyes; experiment 21, left forefinger on C7; experiment 22, upon arising, and upon retiring, drink water, 5 deep breaths, then recite “May the Vital Life Force of the Universe be balanced within me and renew the vitality that is within my body;” experiment 23, left thumb on C7; experiment 24 & 25, on drinking own magnetizing water.
The third atrium degree introduces experiments on the solar plexus, psychic visitations, and hypnotic controls. Several manifestations of fire, as in heat and colors, blood pressure control experiments, and thought experiments were introduced.
Mind reading, materialization, auto-suggestion are among the by-products of the experiments.

COMMENTARY
Man, before soaring the heights of his spiritual flight, he must first of all satisfy his material needs. The cosmic laws supporting the right way to live are revealed to avoid unnecessary mistakes due to ignorance, and achieve success and happiness.
Upfront, the ideals of a Rosicrucian aspirant are defined in the following words:
a. Tolerance for all beliefs and cultures
b. Selfless service to fellow human beings
c. Adherence to the highest cosmic laws
d. Continuous study towards higher learning and development
The cross represents man, while the rose represents the awakening of man’s heart. And the dew in the rose, represents cosmic consciousness. The triangle representing the creation of manifestation in the cosmic and material plane

TEMPLAR 1 (Knight Zelator) SUMMARY
Rosicrucian Knights of the Mystic Rose

The Rosicrucian cosmology is summarized in brief in the Knight Zelator Degree.
Starting from the non-observable, non-material spirit, the process of creation unfolds from the non-observable cosmic to the material plane.
The nature of the spirit is vibratory. As it vibrates, the process of creation unfolds and manifests the electron. (The creative manifestation continues into atoms, and eventually into molecules in the downward phase of creation.) Thenceforth, the electron, still non-physical, is a particle of the spirit.
The number of vibrations of the spirit, polarizes the electrons, giving rise to negative electrons, positive electrons (protons or positrons) and neutrons. Their play of attraction and repulsion starts the drama of creation and of the variegation in the tapestry of manifested matter.
The chemical table of elements, expected at 144 variations in toto, predicts all possible combination and recombination of electrons that make up the physical plane.
The spirit, vibratory in nature, manifested in matter, use the law of polarity in its unending process of combination and recombination, creation and transmutation, evolution and devolution, dissolution and entropy. The whole cosmic keyboard, outlines the vibratory scale from the simplest vibration of matter, sensible to touch, to the highest vibration of soul essences.
The musical octave, a scale in the musical keyboard, with 7 major keys and 5 sharps or flats, provides a visual model to show how the octave is likewise manifested in the other planes of manifested beings. From the musical octave model, we can apply the scale of phenomena in the mental keyboard, chemical keyboard, and keyboard representing the human body.
In the plane of manifestation, the spirit vibrates not only in the monotony of vibrations per second. Other measurements were observed. The law of scale, the law of harmony, the law of rhythm, and the law of periodicity.
The number of vibrations defines the first act in the manifestation of spirit in matter. Polarity arises as a result of the manifested vibratory rate. Even number of vibrations per second spells positive polarity; while uneven number of vibrations per second defines negative polarity. This polarity is responsible for the attraction and repulsion among electrons. These “particles of the spirit” are charged or filled with energy, force, power that keeps them rotating. Two things they do at the speed of their rotation: 1) they vibrate at a terrific speed in a curved line, or arc. 2) they rotate at their axis and revolving through space in a curved line. Then they come together in a crash, but sticking together, they unite their vibrations, tremble in unison, and continue to move, but in a slightly different arc, or curve. Some join a third electron; some others repulsed and jump away. In this way, electrons unite to form atoms.
The law of composition of matter states: “unlike phases attract, like phases repel.”
Another law is invoked, that of scale. Finer perception or comparison could not exist without scale., in either ascending or descending series.
A third law, the law of harmony, further delineates what vibrations are in concordance with each other that they may exist together in harmony.
A fourth law, rhythm, is measured motion in time. The rhythm of two pulses or beats – consisting in itself of a combination of odd and even, negative and positive, weak and strong – is productive of monotony; whereas the rhythm of three pulses, or beats, with its added negative pulse, is the perfect rhythm of creation.
The preponderance of negative element is necessary for a perfect creation or manifestation on the finite plane. On the other hand, the preponderance of positive element in a creation or manifestation on the infinite plane.
The fifth law, the law of periodicity, refers to the shortest interval of time within which any phenomenon goes through the necessary changes to complete a perfect expression of itself. After which it passes immediately through them again completing a perfect round cycle as before. The starting point of the succeeding period is higher than that of the preceding period, hence the spiral. This law of periodicity is represented by the number 9, bespeaking of 1 complete cycle.
The atom, now in the material plane, comprises the union of negative electrons, positive electrons, neutrons, in every possible combination and comprising the 144 elements in the table of chemical elements.
The ceaseless combination of vibrations, according to scale, has for its immediate effect the slow but gradual transformation into visible substance, condensing gases into liquids, liquids into solids, with a corresponding loss or decrease in heat energy.
“The number of electrons in an atom determines the nature of the atom, and the vibrations of the electrons in an atom manifest the nature of the atom. A molecule is composed of at least two atoms; most molecules have more.”

Attempts at explaining cosmology witnessed the emergence of the Theory of Relativity, the Unified Field Theory, the Uncertainty Principle, Quantum theory, and the emerging conclusion that the “Observer becomes Part of the Observed System,” which marks the end of the neutrality of experimenter. Certain facts are no longer objectifiable in quantum theory.
The last paragraph provides a very powerful insight that gives us the key on how to affect the physical plane around us.
Zelator lesson ends by offering the cosmic keyboard as the concluding word to explain everything, not only the limited and parochial scope of the 5 senses. But it includes the whole gamut of being including the subsensible and supra sensible vibrations.

The blue print of the cosmic keyboard reveals that material science is a miniscule preoccupation of man, compared to what man ought to know theoretically and experientially. And since the 5 senses, by default, is limited in scope, the subconscious part of man has that access to these gnosis.

COMMENTARY
Man’s search for knowledge, meaning and values brings him to the edge of explaining nature in an attempt to create a “theory of everything”. From atomic theory, theory of relativity, quantum theory, particle physics, to superstring theory with its multi-dimensional paradigms, we are presented with various views to scale our comprehension of the material plane.
All through this inquiring current, the Rosicrucian Cosmic Keyboard provides intuitive signs that the future of music creation will provide the key to healing the human body.
While somewhat off-tangential, to cure the pandemic of poverty, we must participate in the flow of the creative process. As you sow, so do you reap tenfold – is half the law of creation. The other half states: “as you reap, so do you return to source one-tenth.” Followed by: the more you give, the more you receive, provided that giving is motivated by joy, gratefulness, and unconditional love, and provided that the gift is given freely without attachment, expectation, or entitlement.
The law of creation is at work in your life. When you learn to tame the objective self, the subconscious mind has a greater leeway to attune to the cosmic mind in man’s performance of the great work.

TEMPLAR 2 (Knight Theoricus) SUMMARY
Rosicrucian Knights of the Mystic Rose

Man is dual in consciousness (conscious and subconscious), and in action (voluntary and involuntary). Involuntary actions (instincts) are inborn, voluntary actions are acquired.

Man is dual in mind control (objective and subjective). The objective mind, with its consciousness of externality through our receptor senses, controls voluntary actions; the subconscious mind controls involuntary actions. Subjective mind includes attributes of the mind such as reason, will, recollection & imagination. It reorients/refocuses consciousness to impressions arising directly within the mind, the mental processes themselves.

It vacillates, or constantly changes from conscious to subconscious, and vice versa. When the objective mind is active, the subconscious mind is dormant, and vice versa.

Reasoning is the subjective aspect of objective consciousness. The moment an impression reaches the objective mind, reasoning begins and makes us absorb the impression into the storehouse of subconscious memory. The intensity/vividness of our reasoning is the result of undivided attention on the sensation. The thought is passed from the objective mind into the subconscious mind to be stored away.

There are three types of reasoning: Inductive Reasoning (answers the question why), Deductive Reasoning (answers the question how), and Syllogistical Reasoning (a premise, a middle term, and a conclusion)

The subconscious mind, whose purpose is to do as told, uses deductive reasoning. Will power is objective decision to do, as a result of objective reasoning. “It is the final judgment of the objective mind transmitted to the subconscious mind as a law.” The Will is nothing more than practical reason “independent from subjective conditions (impulses).” But the general case for men is different. Reason does not solely determine the will. Man’s actions are subjectively contingent, which does not always coincide with the objective conditions.

Appetite (impulses) is the solicitor of Will; Will is the controller of appetite. Will either facilitates or inhibits the act entirely, according to the reasoning done by objective mind.

Three kinds of Will: 1) Hesitant or indecisive (the force which determines their action is weak, and the action remaining in the consciousness becomes an ever-weakening desire or wish which is slowly lost to the objective consciousness; 2) Inconsistent (acting on impulse long before completion of the former willing and acting, hence many uncompleted accomplishments; 3) Obstinate (sticks to favored impulses, and finishes whichever they start)

Through the force of the will, with necessary attention, concentration, and application, and in accordance with all our abilities for good reasoning and judgment, we can avoid being hesitant, inconsistent, and obstinate in our will and actions.

Suggestion is a subtle (indirect) command, a request, a wish, an order, or a law of one’s objective mind to the subconscious. The subconscious mind is always ready to obey in a perfect, deductive manner. However, where we have established code of moral precepts that have become a habitual part of our subconscious mind, the latter opposes objective suggestions.

Metabolism is a destructive process for the purpose of reconstruction. To be successful and powerful, all suggestions should BE OF A NATURE WHICH DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE CONSTRUCTIVE PRINCIPLE of the subconscious mind. And it will take many repetitions to make it effective.

Send your suggestion into the subconscious mind, dwelling upon it for a while, with absolute confidence, then dismiss the thought without the least doubt of its fulfillment. Doubt, when held in the mind for a while, also passes to the subconscious mind and causes the Chief Engineer to hold up all his actions until you make up your mind.

Dismiss doubt as soon as you KNOW just what you want accomplished. This is the only secret. As the subconscious mind always works deductively, KEEP IN MIND that whatever thoughts you hold in your mind pass to the subconscious mind and the result will be according to your objective thinking. Calmly but firmly give it to your subconscious mind just as you are falling asleep. This is more than praying. It lacks the hopes and doubts of prayer and has the result of the fulfillment of a command without the interference of an objective reason.

The chief engineer (subconscious mind) obeys orders—that is his business. When the objective mind repeatedly tells him to do something, he makes a note of it and then proceeds to do it without being told each time. E.g. smoking after every meal

Will power makes the subconscious mind act as we desire, and then gradually, through repetition, the subconscious mind continues to do the same thing of its own accord without our objective will power. Hence, “Habit is an unconscious law of the subconscious mind.”

The subconscious mind, unlike the objective mind, is not limited insofar as seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, and smelling are concerned. The subconscious mind has at its disposal a power which permeates the universe.

COMPOSITION OF MAN – a material composition infused with Spirit. Soul is added that gives consciousness and vitality and objective expression to man. The soul gives conscious existence to man. Spirit is the real part of matter, while soul is the real part of man. Matter is vitalized by the spirit; man is vitalized by the soul

While man is composed of electrons, atoms and molecules, the existence of matter is dependent upon that great energy called spirit. Matter is made manifest to us solely through this Spirit in matter and the vibrations which Spirit sends out from matter. And the different forms or expressions of matter are a result of a difference in the number of vibrations which Spirit produces in molecules.
 
COMMENTARY

Khight Theoricus degree provides the blueprint to scale human limitations.

Knowing that the subjective mind constantly vacillates from conscious to subconscious, and vice versa, knowing that the subconscious mind has at its disposal “a power which permeates the universe,”
knowing that the art of suggestion is your entry point to dissolve acquired objective mental limitations,
knowing that concentration in meditation can reprogram your life by the habitual positive emotions called JVPLK,
you are sufficiently equipped to fly the wings of your subconscious and defy the limiting habits one acquires in objective life.

TEMPLAR 3 (Knight Practicus) SUMMARY
Rosicrucian Knights of the Mystic Rose

The practicus degree provides the practical link between knowledge and application in the realm of consciousness.

Man attempts to fit consciousness to phenomena as an attribute of matter. But the radical truth, it is beyond the confines of our materialistic orientation. Consciousness must be understood as an attribute and dependent upon mind and soul for its existence in the human body. Consciousness and mind is infused and diffused in the body just as air is diffused in this room. Furthermore, mind and consciousness pervade all space outside the body. The mind and brain are two different things. All involuntary actions are workings of the mind, not within the scope of the brain or its objective thinking process.

Consciousness is the mental aspect of life which includes sensation, realization, and classification (or reasoning) of which the motive powers or active principles are IMAGINATION, ASPIRATION, and INSPIRATION, where the latter two principles are dependent upon the former. For we aspire and are inspired according to the degree of our imagination which reaches up to the heights, or is sensitive to the point of action in line with the impressions received.

Consciousness, not thought, is the prime factor in the individual life. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” This is more than simple thought, but the consciousness of man with all its varying degrees and shades of imagination, aspiration, and inspiration, which is not wholly limited to the affectations of the external and material world.”

Consciousness is poised between two worlds and naturally open to both. The thread of memory permits consciousness to transport itself into the past and the thread of imagination permits consciousness to sense, anticipate, or project itself into the future.

Consciousness is like the point of the hourglass between the past and the future sands of time but in no way a part of either. The primary reason for consciousness is for KNOWLEDGE.

Fears of conscience and memories of evil intent or accomplishment blocks our imagination from approaching that of the highest Cosmic Intelligence.

MAN CAN CHOOSE, but more often than not he chooses the path with leads him into ignorance and darkness.

AXIOMS OF PERFECTION
In the physical order—in the realization of the dream of beauty
In the moral order—in the realization of the dream of love
In the intellectual order—in the realization of the dream of poetry
In the spiritual order—in the realization of the dream of the mystics

“Imagination is everything. In its own order it is supreme. In the recognition of this fact we find another reason for an appeal to the poets, for they are the Hierophants of imagination. The facts, principles, and theories of occult or hermetic science are barren until they are vivified by the power of intelligence. Magical arts have esoteric powers and are spiritually illuminating only on the purified plane of intense and supreme imagination. The true plane of magic is the psychic and translucid. What mystical science teaches is how to realize the dream. What are called the facts of magic, offer, in a certain sense, a pabulum to aspiration and are a plastic matter for the mind’s creative faculty to interpret and adapt as it will.”
The purpose of developing occult powers of sense is to sense more than the objective brain can. Hence, the technique of seeing involves 1) how to sense beyond the common objective faculties; 2) how to observe beyond the regular field of vision, and 3) how to hear beyond the simple limits of sound. Green, like all other colors, consists of many shades. One must see shades—not colors. Thus, it is that the mystic senses the God, the psychic force, the occult, or hidden and veiled things. This is done by practice, study, and observation of results.

Feeling is in the mind. Sensation in itself contains 2 germs, or seeds, that develop like two branches of the same psychic personality. One represents the intellect and its various degrees of emotions. The other to modifications of the ego provoked not only by external stimuli but also by stimuli from within. Intellect is the fruit of the sense and sentiments are the fruits of the emotions.

The coarser the thoughts and the more harsh the sentiments, the more offending the personality. The finer and more delicate the thoughts, the more refined the sentiments, the more pleasing, harmonious, and attractive the personality.

With consciousness as the subject of cognition, and with the material limitation of the act of cognition, there is a dividing line between actuality and reality. Actuality is in the order of vibration (of spirit-phenomenon, manifestation); Reality is in the order of consciousness (realization-appreciation of actualities or manifested vibration).

Noise and sound do not exist except when realized. Hence, light, odor, taste and the sense of touch are not ACTUALITIES but REALITIES, which have their perfect and complete manifestation in the mind of man and NOT in the material from which they emanate.

“if a tree falls in the forest, would there be the sound of a loud crash? In the order of reality, NONE, because there is no one present to hear it; In the order of actuality, YES, there is a tree that falls. Sound reuires realization to make it exist as an actuality.

The five objective senses of the five objective faculties produce realities to the consciousness.

These five senses are limited by objective conditions, functional objective conditions.

Our acquired interpretations do not influence or affect our senses, but they do affect our realizations. Hence, your interpretation of the picture gives you the realization of a chair.

The lessons learned: You cannot depend upon the actuality of your realities. Second, you cannot depend upon the interpretations of your realities. FOR MAN TO KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH IN ALL THINGS, HE MUST DISCERN—he must learn—AND HE MUST KNOW THROUGH THE COSMIC MIND, THE COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS, AND NOT THROUGHT THE MATERIAL MIND OR EARTHLY CONSCIOUSNESS.

Our faulty interpretations arises from hatred, ignorance, fear, envy and malice.

If one’s spiritual nature is awakened, he can handle material vibrations of every kind with a greater skill and finer intelligence.
An artist, if spiritually awakened, is a greater painter, a musician, a better composer or performer, a scientist sees more clearly generalizes and interprets with more exactitude and discrimination.
The workmanship of a spiritually awakened artisan is more beautiful, with something of the spirit of art. If one is a thinker, his thoughts are vaster. If a person in his life realizes a holiness that is beauty, he makes brotherhood more radiant, more realistic and practical.

INTELLECT and EMOTIONS are those two general functions which are the result of the unification of the products of the mind, made up of energies within and without.

True freedom begins with the freedom of thought, the boundless flight of imagination and idealism, restrained only by reason. Can you call the action of a body free which revolves about a fixed, limited thought?

COMMENTARY

We emancipate ourselves from the universal fallacy that we have been trained from childhood to think from a material point of view. Consciousness and mind are attributes of his soul. This consciousness is constantly in touch with the Cosmic Consciousness, which is a medium of consciousness that pervades all space, enters into it and is constantly in touch with human consciousness in the mind of man. It conveys impressions to us that are not subject to the deception of our objective senses. When we attune with Cosmic Consciousness, our realization corresponds to actuality.

TEMPLAR 4 (Knight Philosophus) SUMMARY
Rosicrucian Knights of the Mystic Rose

The fourth degree discusses the all pervading principle, the NOUS, its principle of emanation, and its reference to the Nodin manuscript.

The ONE, the principle of all, manifests as Nous, and at the source of the NOUS in the latter’s vibratory manifestation.

Neo-Platonism, reaching its peak in Plotinus, was a revival of Platonic Philosophy with the inclusion of Persian concepts of good and evil. To the neo-platonist, man is composed of the soul, that part of man closest to the divine, and the body, his body dominated by appetites. So, to attain final peace, which comes from following the dictates of his divine nature, he must conquer the flesh, not merely to suppress the desires and appetites, but the body, which is their vehicle, must be completely ignored.

The perfection of emanated beings are on a graduated scale. The farther one is from the One, the less perfect one is. The more absorbed one is to the ONE, the more they attain a perfect state.

With only the ONE source, everything in the universe is connected. The cell floating in a liquid, is connected with every other cell in that liquid by some force which pervades them all. They breathe, drink, and pulsate with the same vibrating energy as a unit. They are united in a manner which makes them NOT separated individuals but TRUE units of one mass.

As NOUS is dual, so too is man DUAL in nature, hence the fundamental Rosicrucian ontology: “God breathed into man the breath of life and man became a living soul.”

While chemistry identifies oxygen as the source of life, it is the Vital Life Force (VLF) it carries that is the giver of life. The VLF reveals the secret to controlling one’s emotion. And melancholy, morbidity, lack of enthusiasm, no incentive, failure to have creative, new ideas, are the result of many times opposing the life force unwittingly.

The soul and VLF enter the body at birth, and leave the body together at death.

Nous is the substance, the primary element of all creation. It is the UNIVERSAL CREATIVE FORCE. Spirit is manifesting as the negative form of this force, while the VITAL LIFE FORCE as the positive form of this force. Hence, all matter is spirit energy, manifested in varying vibratory rates. The VLF and Spirit are emanations from the highest principle, and man is the highest expression of these two God forces.

Empedocles in the Nodin manuscript declared the Nous as a binary force, with the ELEMENTS (electrons, atoms and molecules) as the three forms in which NOUS organizes itself to compose/express matter, with the DIVINITIES (solid, liquid & gas) as the manifested forms of elements, and PRINCIPALS (fire, air, water & earth) as the four expressions of matter.

Man as a living soul, functions under two rhythmic conditions: The harmony of Spirit gives existence to his body; the harmony of the soul gives existence to his consciousness and personality. The human soul is part of the Universal Soul. The subconscious or soul mind is ever one with the Universal Mind. The subconscious mind, the storehouse of unlimited knowledge, is the real Master within. When the objective mind is passive, the subconscious mind takes ascendancy. In these moments man can experience Cosmic Consciousness. Mastery of life is attained in the interplay of the objective and subconscious minds. The more he takes in of NOUS, transmitted by the sun as VLF and spirit, he becomes more alive and alert. More VLF is needed to strengthen the subconscious and escape limitations of the objective mind and its false impressions, and thus attune with the Cosmic Mind. This union with the Divine is the purpose of all mysticism.

THE NODIN LAW NO.1
“Inasmuch as the ultimate manifestation of matter is dependent upon the infusion or presence of the primal divinity or binary divinity, NOUS, and since the composition of matter is dependent upon these dual qualities each of which cannot manifest without the other, NOUS must be present as a unit in order to infuse and manifest matter.”

THE NODIN LAW NO. 1-A
“Since NOUS is essential to the perfect and complete manifestations of matter, NOUS must be present as a unit in order to actuate.”

Nous is dual: “That which contains within itself the sum of propensities to manifest must be divided into two prime qualities each of which without the other is incapable of manifestation.
We comprehend in this law the cause of male and female qualities and negative and positive qualities.
One quality is finite, definite, limited, and therefore unreal (NEGATIVE), while the other is indefinite, infinite, unlimited, and therefore, real (POSITIVE).

Nous is vibratory.

THE LAWS OF MANIFESTATION OF NOUS

  1. Nous requires certain conditions of unequal proportions for its manifestations.
  2. Nous manifests in all animate and inanimate matter.
  3. Nous manifests in accordance with the principles of the triangle.
  4. Nous constantly maintains its duality of nature and each division has its distinctive domain of essence, named the positive and negative.
  5. The two essences thus divided constitute two realms the negative or finite, and the positive, or infinite.
  6. The source and supply of the essence of each is maintained at a constant quality and quantity, the quality being unchangeable, the quantity unalterable.

SECONDARY LAWS

  1. The manifestation of Nous on the earthly plane is distinctly of the finite realm as embodied in Primary Law #5
  2. In all earthly manifestations of Nous the two essences are united by the joining of the infinite or positive to the finite or negative, in contradistinction to Cosmic manifestation which occur through the joining of the finite negative to the infinite positive essence.
  3. In this wise are the two realms made distinct and isolated, and those manifestations which occur in the one are the result of the infusion or influx of the other, the point, place, or condition of contact being the manifestation of the unified combination of the two.
  4. Manifestations occurring in the earthly, finite realm will be essentially and predominantly negative, material, limited; and manifestations occurring in the Cosmic, infinite realm will be essentially and predominantly positive, immaterial, and unlimited—Divine.

The THIRD CONDITION, when the two principles meet, is made manifest. The principle of the triangle represents perfect manifestation. Opposites combine and recombine to produce new manifestations whose properties are not related to either of the parent causes. In simplicity, stability exists; in complexity, achievement. The individualities of molecules are so unlike those of the electrons composing them as to suggest that some outside influence had part in the new formation.

An axiom thus establishes that the properties of elements are functions of its vibrations, more specifically, the nature of the power (the center of positive force) which emanates in the form of vibrations. In all of creation we find two manifested polarities: positive and negative, limited and unlimited, definite and indefinite, one being the very opposite of the other.

The polarization of the NOUS is in the form of a cell, adhering to the rule of the sphere, symbolized by the circle. At its center is located the positive polarity, the center of the cell’s power.

The Philosophy of Science
Systematic experimental methods devised to isolate accidental and unrelated influences gave birth to the scientific method. Conclusions arrived at are expressed in the simplest mathematical form, constituting a hypothesis. When consistently confirmed, it becomes a law of nature. With only a single contradictory result, the law of nature is modified and improve.

To distinguish a mystic from a scientist, the former’s formal object is the inner world of consciousness, while the scientist’s formal object is the outer world of matter. The former’s experimentation begins with the influence of his conscious mind upon his own body, with the ability of consciousness to function outside the body, to acquire extrasensory knowledge, to influence other minds, and to experience the fundamental unity of consciousness of all beings with each other and with the Universal Consciousness.

The scientist’s work has an objective, verifiable and repeatable evidence; the mystic’s inner experience is not repeatable at will, because the conditions of consciousness change.

Redefining NOUS
All electrical phenomena manifest to us through the medium of undulations or vibratory waves. All natural energies in the universe are electrical.

In the duality of the Nous, it is the positive which makes the first move, always reaching out, trying to infuse, control and actuate the non-active negative, and which seeks out and enters the negative. The positive penetrates while the negative simply absorbs. And the negative becomes inspired, enlivened, actuated, and moved by the positive polarity.

Broadly speaking, the full and active nature of a thing or condition is its positive state. Anything less its full active capacity is negative, with the minus aspect of its unrealized possibilities.

The negative is radiating, or creating or causing to exist in its environment a condition termed an electrical vibratory vacuum.

In matter, magnetic attraction and repulsion are the action between the two poles of a magnet.

A field of manifestation (magnetic field) exists where both negative and positive emanations meet and unite.
AURA signifies the halo or mist surrounding all manifestations, especially those of living plants and animals. The aura of the human body is due to the presence of a vibratory force. It is never separated, never divided, never disconnected, but always in touch to everywhere, always united as a single unit.

The vital energy is directed by a Divine Cosmic Mind resident in the human body, giving man the right, privilege and power to direct this energy easily. Both the mind of God and of man are rulers of this force. When man is in harmony with the Divine Plan, his powers are great in accomplishment of good.

The Nous emanates its positive quality from the sun and its negative quality from the earth, both an electrical series of waves of positive and negative polarity, forming the unified vital energy.

Electricity is the passion of space and magnetism is the passion of matter.

Plant Physiology
Three substances compose an apple: the substance composing the negative, the positive part, and the insulating (neutral) part between the two. In the insulating material, the cells have a higher proportion of chemicals which balance electromagnetic tendencies, making it electrically neutral. The polarity & electromagnetic condition was the result of chemical composition from minerals from the earth, plus electrochemical conditions from the atmosphere.

The Cell Centrosome
It resides on one side of the nucleus that divides prior to cell division. It is composed of three distinct parts: a) center (dark) part, composed of minute granules, b) space around the centriole, attraction sphere consisting of a perfectly clear fluid, and c) radiation (fibrils), which surrounds each attraction sphere.
Metabolism of the food and water, chemically, the carbon, hydrogen, oxygen & hydrogen supply the negative nature of the cells. Cell nourishment is maintained through blood activities.

Cells reproduce through mitosis, starting with the division of the centrosome into two. A single centrosome is a stressed concentrated condition of magnetic polarity. A breaking point ensues where it cannot contain its vibrating, stored-up energy any longer. Reaching its maturity, it divides to unload or reduce its energy.

SUMMARY

The fourth degree is a study of mystic chemistry & philosophy.
Through experiential attainment of psychic development, we are led closer to the Rosicrucian Promise that states:

You shall command all nature
God will be your inspiration
The philosophers alone will be your equals.
The highest intelligences will be ambitious to obey your desires
The demons will tremble in the abyss upon thine approach
And they will never dare approach the place where thou art.
