I don't want ppl to think I'm here to tell ppl what's the right and wrong way to do things. That's not what im interested in at all.

The idea of my beliefs is to study the paths while being on it and discovering and to help create ever more new ways to successfully traverse them, and fail them.

So original new ideas are great. So are old and trusted paths.

Because no two ppl's paths are the same no matter which method that is used and reality is expanded every time someone experiences something new on it.

Great thread, Merit. Sounds like you have a lot of time for Rosicrucians? When you were being taught this stuff when you were young, which group did the teachings most belong to, or did it cover all angles?

I don't understand "you have a lot of time for Rosicrians?".

What I was taught was more like covering all angles. We were rarely told what was right and wrong. We were being taught how to think. How to process ideas. Not what the right and wrong answer were.

What did WE think was the right answer. Why did we think that? If we didn't know then the decision wasn't respected until we did know and could articulate it.

Also we were taught that 'i dont know' is a very intelligent answer.

So logic and reason and psychology of self was what was taught to us. What direction we chose to study was a purely personal decision.

We were taught that there were rules in life though and without them we're just like the animals. That has to do with common sense stuff like knowing and obeying the laws of wherever you may be.

I guess it was my interpretation of the way you described Rosicrucians as using "high magic" whereas Freemasons use more worldly tactics - it made it sound like a more noble and higher method. Guess it was just my interpretation.

I know a few people who seem to be "activated" in a psychic way and have healing powers, who say all you need to do is meditate a lot to develop. I guess that is the Eastern way, as taught by Indian Gurus, and the left hand path that you describe. It seems incongruous that by doing that you can achieve similar results as the years of dedication and personal development exercises (all that black and white mirror stuff) it takes to get there using the western mysteries.

Are you familiar with Franz Barden's work? He seems to present a pretty good starter's guide in "Initiation Into Hermetics" - lots of development exercises to go through and perfect. Do you think it is of value?
