It encour- ages people to remain with their churches, and to those who have lost that anchorage it offers a safe haven, until they can get their bearings; when, with a broader, truer perception and a firmer foundation for their faith, they may return to leaven the Christian thought within the church. It teaches men not only to believe, but to know, and knowing, to live the higher life. Origin of the Rosicrucian Fellowship Echoes In the fall of 1907 Max Heindel went to FROM Germany to study a teaching which seemed to bear the stamp of truth, but, upon investigation, proved dreamy, impractical, and inadequate. At Mount Ecclesia the time when his disappointment was deepest, June 10th, 1914 the Elder Brothers of the Rosicrucian Order, who are now Hierophants of the lesser Oceanside No. 13 California Mysteries, offered him the coveted instruction Published by the Rosicrucian Fellowship on condition that he keep it a secret.

  • Heindel-Steiner Connection
    Heindel-Steiner Connection Written by one Student of the Western Wisdom Teachings Compiled from several sources Western Wisdom Teachings The Rosicrucian Cosmo -Conception or Mystic Christianity is a Rosicrucian text, written by Max Heindel The first edition was printed in November 1909, it has little changed since then and it is considered to be Max Heindel's magnum opus. It is a reference work in the Christian mysticism practice and in the Occult study literature, containing the fundamentals of Esoteric Christianity from a Rosicrucian perspective. The Cosmo contains a comprehensive outline of the evolutionary process of man and the universe, correlating science with religion. It is, till current days, the basic book for the Philosophy courses of the school, The Rosicrucian Fellowship , founded by the author in 1909/11. The first edition of this work, containing more than 700 pages of indepth teachings into the major themes of the occult science, was dedicated to a knowledgeable lecturer of the occult field called Rudolf Steiner, to whom Max Heindel felt greatly indebted. It had the subtitle "Occult Science" instead of "Mystic Christianity" and just above the message and mission ("A Sane Mind, a Soft Heart and a Sound Body", "Service") there was a quotation from Paul of Tarsus: "PROVE ALL THINGS". In the subsequent edition, Heindel removed the initial dedicatory and changed the mentioned elements. The first dedicatory become a controversial issue among some students of both teachers, till current days. However, as both authors, Heindel and Steiner, appear to have been influenced by the same Elder Brother of the Rose Cross, to some extent and at some stage of their lives, it becomes an accessory issue that may only be unveiled through the discernment of the student along her/his path of spiritual unfoldment.

  • 159 13 STRUGGLE for POWER Even Before He Established The
    13 STRUGGLE FOR POWER Even before he established the Rosicrucian Fellowship headquarters, Max Heindel had intended to erect a sanitarium or school of healing. By August 6, 1913 , his plan materialized on a small scale with three cottages built for this express purpose, each with two rooms. Very soon, however, these rooms had to be used for members who remained at Mount Ec- clesia. This situation continued until April 1929 when the Board of Trus- tees, of which Mrs Heindel was president, appointed a committee to in- vestigate the possibility of building a sanitarium. 89. Cornerstone for the Sanitarium. 90. Situation of the Sanitarium The May 1929 magazine reported that architect Lester A. Cramer had drawn plans for a sanitarium. These plans specified a central administra- tive section for an office, a reception room, four treatment rooms, a kitchen, and a dining room, with nurses’ quarters above. On either side of the central portion there were patients’ quarters, eight private rooms and four wards, each with a capacity for four beds. The wards were sur- rounded on three sides by a terrace. The plan covered the first phase and provided for a total of twenty-four patients. This initial structure was ar- ranged so that other units could be added when needed. The sanitarium would operate primarily along natural lines, with special attention to physiotherapy, to include hydrotherapy, light-therapy, and massage. Osteopathic or chiropractic manipulation and sunbaths would be included, all based upon the Rosicrucian method of healing. An insti- tution of this type would require much less capital outlay than would a hospital with a high-priced medical and surgical staff.

Health and healing in esotericism. The Max Heindel (1865-1919) and the Rosicrucian Fellowship examples. I have devoted part of my research to religious therapy, circumscribing within the religious field a domain which I typified and called “Healing Churches”. The first religions in my sample, Invitation to life and Christian Science, are Christian. The others are not: Antoinism stems from spiritism, Universal Alliance from Georges Roux’s followers and Scientology’s doctrines seem to belong to esotericism. For this reason, my interest in spiritual therapy was oriented towards esotericism, in order to assess the case of therapy and psyche within this “form of thought”. Of course, esotericism is not a healing religion since it is not a religion.

  • Chapter 11 Spiritual and Death of Max Heindel
    11 SPIRITUAL CULMINATIONS and the PASSING OF MAX HEINDEL On March 13 , 1916 Max Heindel’s mother passed on. 221 He wrote about this as follows, “A few months ago when my mother, a resident of Copenhagen, Den- mark, passed over I received letters from my brother and sister saturated with grief at the ‘loss,’ but it was the very re- verse to me, for though I had visited her clothed in the soul body a few times a year for a moment or two, I would not have dared to materialize or speak to her as that might have produced a shock, resulting in death, even if such a selfish use of these faculties were per- mitted, being strictly prohibited. Thus I was parted from my parent while she lived and 76. Mother of Max Heindel. was closely associated with my brother and sis- ter . When death came this was reversed. Then she was unable to make her presence known to them, she could not talk with them or satisfy them that she was not ‘dead’ as they be- lieved. But she quickly learned that a mere THOUGHT of me served to carry her to California and when I had taught her a certain signal, she had, and has instant access to me at all times. Now that she is DEAD to my brother and sister she is alive to me who had the privilege of helping her through the troublesome transition time, though I am still in this world. Therefore I feel no loss.” 222 Dying is sometimes hampered when bystanders try to prevent it as Heindel’s half-sister did.
