The Principles of Rosicrucian Initiation

1. God is the Grand Architect, the Sublime Imagination. We were initially created in his image/nation and will eventually return therein.
2. Universal Man was created to be the Grand Alchemist of the World; to enter into the laboratory of the Earth, to serve as the physical catalyst for worldly transformations; to release the original Light of Nature. Man's (and woman's) task is to realize his original purpose.
3. Evolution for human beings is voluntary and follows a chain of transformations, moral, spiritual and physical. The aim of which is to bring them back to their Primordial Perfection.
4. This chain of events, these consistent Reformations are named Reconciliation, Reintegration, and Regeneration.
5. Reconciliation, the first true Rosicrucian Degree is the alignment of Man (and woman) unto his Holy Guardian Angel.
6. Reintegration, the second Rosicrucian Degree is the result of perfecting the moral self; through the internalization of the Virtues. It is the Spiritual Regeneration resulting in alignment to the Collective.
7. Regeneration is the third Rosicrucian Degree. This is the alchemical transformation of the body. Physical Regeneration is achieved through the Grand Philosophers Stone, the Immortality of the Rosicrucians.
8. The collective societies of Initiation always represent aspects of this system, although not always in its entirety. They are the only stages of transformation. Man must study the Book of Nature to realize and follow the consistent path.
