Hiya,
Can anyone please tell me about how AMORC helps one's life - I have been told a few things some good, and some not so good. There are statements from other who say that once you get involved your life changes for the better, yet others say they just try and get more money from you.
So any further info would be great.
Thanks

About 30 years ago I was a member of the rosicrucian order. They provide lessons in the old egyptian mysteries. It is a loge, so you will have to find out yourself what you think of it.
RE: The Rosicrucians
During the much research that I have carried out for my book, I have reached the conclusion that the Rosicrucians are acrually one of several branches of an organisation known as The Great White Brotherhood. This is thought to have been formed by a Egyptian Pharaoh Tuthmose III during the late 18th Dynasty, (the Amana period) and was originally a group of of mystical scholars, of both sexes. Many of these scolars were in fact aspects of the Ascended Masters.
The aim of the Brotherhood was to bring together the wisest men and women of Egypt to discuss and preserve the great knowledge that they had attained. It could therefore in some ways be seen as a school of philosophy. Students from around the ancient world flocked to Egypt in order to study these philosophies and truths under the directorship of the Brotherhood.
Several mystic schools in Egypt and throughout the Middle East were united under these auspices, assuming different names in different locations. Two of these were the Essenes and Rosicrucians. Some of their members were healers and physicians, whilst others studied and translated the ancient texts. For these purposes, two principal centres were maintained, one at Lake Moeris in Egypt, where Ascended Master El Morya was born, and one in Palestine, at Engaddi, near the Dead Sea. In addition to this, for many centuries they maintained a great library and school of learning near Mount Carmel. It is here that many of their great leaders are said to have been educated.
According to channelled information however, the birth of the Brotherhood far outdates the origins of Egyptian civilisation. According to Anne and Daniel Meurois-Givaudan in their book, The Way of the Essenes, the Essenes are descended from the Priests of six tribes, who originated from a mythical land known as Atl. They were a spiritual, peace loving people, who lived on an island continent surrounded by seas, in a society made up of seven tribes. The fifth tribe was known as the people of Sem, and it is from these that the Semite race are said to have originated.
This description bears a striking resemblance to Atlantis, which also had seven Royal families, representing the seven elemental rays, of earth, air, fire, water, love, spirit and evolution, or change. As in Akhunatons Egypt, the main religion of Atlantis was also dedicated to the solar deity.
Over time the people of Atl forgot their connection to the Divine. Sensing a great disaster, the heads from six of the seven tribes fled their land, towards the icy wastes of the north, while The Sem fled south towards Egypt, led by a Priest known as Zurid. The land of Atl then sank beneath the waves and was destroyed. The Essenes are said to be descended from the sons of eleven wise men, Priests from the remaining six tribes who chose not to follow their people north, devoting themselves instead to preserving the treasure and secrets of Zurid.
On arrival in Egypt, and in collaboration with the Pharaoh, they decided to build a storehouse in order to protect the sacred truths and wisdoms. This may have been the Great Pyramid at Giza.
My book concentrates more on the Essenes than the Rosicrucians, so my knowledge of them is limited to what I have read on the AMORC website.
Their website describes the Order as a non-sectarian body of men and women devoted to the study and practical application of natural and spiritual laws in their personal lives. The aim is to help each individual member to reach their full potential. The Rosicrucian teachings are divided into different degrees, which vary in subject and intensity, and come in the form of weekly lessons known as monographs. The techniques used to impart the teachings include various types of meditation and visualisation in order to help connect with our own inner guidance, or higher self. These objectives are the same ones taught by many of the ancient Mystery Schools, and Gnostics.
Hope this helps.
