As we continue our journey we find that to a certain extent we have had the wool pulled over our eyes! We need to pull back, regroup, and take a look at what was really happening around the world in the years between 2,000 BCE and 200 BCE. Some very important things have been conveniently left out!

Actually we can go back much further to 3,500 to 3,000 BCE when Cretan ships of the Minoan civilization were predominant in the Mediterranean basin. The Minoan civilization and the Mycenaean civilization of pre-Greece were both heavily Goddess oriented and taught the life, death, rebirth cycle of continual life and the joys of living intently in the physical world. They taught the mysteries of the underworld or the Summerland, the etheric world that lies beneath the physical.

The Minoan civilization was extremely advanced and sprung out of nowhere. It seems safe to say this was the civilization sponsored by the Anunnaki Enki and his followers. These were the ancient Greeks that were victorious over Atlantis when Atlantis tried to take over the Mediterranean basin as told to Solon by his Egyptian teachers.

Where did this advanced knowledge come from? Were the Gods and Goddesses Anunnaki in non-physical bodies? And what about the Reptilians in non-physical bodies? They demanded blood sacrifices so they could manifest and work their magick. They were the Dragon or Serpent Gods and Goddesses that even the Egyptians worshiped.

Let’s leave all that for a moment and move forward to 600 to 500 BCE for an even better view. In the Spiritual teachings of Confucius, Buddha, Zoroaster, Lao-tse, the Jewish prophets, the Greek poets, artists, philosophers and scientists, the sixth century BCE reaches a zenith of human wisdom and achievement that even our modern materialistic civilization has not achieved!

The sacred mysteries of Samothrace in the Aegean dates back to 2,000 BCE mythologically but the ruins have been dated as early as 600 BCE according to “The Great Gods of Samothrace” by Carl Ruck. These mysteries involved a sacred wine mixed with hallucinogenic mushrooms and sexual orgies to rupture the astral and pierce through the veil. The Goddess was both the creator of the storm of life and at the same time safe passage through it. The need was to live valiantly and heroically and die with honor so that one could be reborn into a better life. The source of all life was the Womb of Creation and the sacred fire of the all consuming vital life force.

Moving forward to 285- 246 BCE we see the founding of the great library at Alexandria which became the center of all learning for the world. Strange it wasn’t mentioned before isn’t it? What about the Order? What happened to it? Why the great rush to move on to the Christian era?

The great library at Alexandria was a giant melting pot of cultures and teachings. Great mystics soon discovered that there was a sacred sanctuary beyond logic and reason where one could commune with the Gods and Goddesses and great masters and teachers. It could only be reached by crossing the Great Abyss. Those who were able to cross the Great Abyss entered into the fellowship of the Great White Brotherhood, the guardians of the human race. It was the ultimate secret society and there was no initiation that could admit. There were no entrances to this sacred sanctuary and fellowship, but if you found your way there, no one could deny your right to be there! Because it took place on the highest spiritual planes all members were able to recognize each other. It did not matter what tradition or religion or school one belonged to.

The Great White Brotherhood consisted of souls in both physical bodies and non-physical bodies, but they all had non-physical bodies because they all gathered above the Great Abyss. At first only the Anunnaki could do this but later human masters and adepts began to join as well. To the ancient mind these mortals had become immortal and joined the Gods and Goddesses. The Supreme Council of the Order was no longer Rosaecrucian. It moved to the great library of Alexandria and at the destruction of the great library the Supreme Council was said to have moved to Tibet.

It was recognized that any member of the Great White Brotherhood, any Master who had permanently crossed the Great Abyss had the right to establish their own mystery school and their own teachings. The source of their power was not the Womb of Creation, but the Spiritual Light.

We continue with the information presented in the “American Rosae Crucis” published by Imperator H. Spencer Lewis in 1916. We will begin with information about Solomon.

The records show that he had come from the WEST, had traveled over many lands and across waters. He was of a nation which was large and important, situated in some very distant place. All this is indicated from the report he made to the representative of the Order whom he interviewed at Thebes “whither he had gone immediately upon his arrival in Egypt accompanied by his slaves and his ‘najah’. (a word unknown to the translators)

He desired instruction in the higher Egyptian sciences and philosophy and was directed to El Amarna with a letter of introduction from the INTENDANT at Thebes. He reached El Amarna on the 4th day of June, 999 BCE and after an examination was admitted into the Order on June 12, 999 BCE, under the name of Saloman, THE YOUTHFUL SEEKER.

Salomon did not complete his studies for it is reported that he left El Amarna “before the fourth examination.” (Was this prior to passing into what is now known as the FOURTH DEGREE?) He left upon his Brothers and Sisters a definite feeling of love, wisdom and virtue and all were grieved at his sudden but announced departure.

The next word of him is as a resident at the ROYAL HOME in Bubastis in the Delta where Shishak I (or Sheshonk) had established himself. This was in the year 952 BCE and Saloman is referred to as an instructor to the Pharaoh’s son. This is probably a mistake in translating for in another place he is referred to as advisor in political matters, and this seems more probable in the light of future developments. Whether he had been at this residence all the intervening years from 999 to 952 BCE in not definitely established, but there is a record of his presence at Thebes in the year 980 BCE when he visited some GAMES in company with the INTENDANT of Thebes and a group of scholars with whom he seemed on the most intimate terms.

Saloman seems to have been greatly influenced in Thebes and Bubastis by the religion of Ammon and conceived a form of philosophical religion which was a mixture of the Rosaecrucian monotheism and the Egyptian idolatry. To him the SUN became more than the mere symbol of a God; it was the living, vital spirit of God, and while not the God, it was the God’s etherial body. This would indicate that Saloman conceived God as being (a) personal, rather than IMPERSONAL as Rosaecrucianism taught, and (b) DUAL, body and spirit, father and holy ghost.

Shishak I secured Thebes in 951 BCE and appointed his son priest in the religion of Ammon, and gave his daughter, Aye, to Saloman to wed. This is the first mention of any of Saloman’s wives and she may have been his first wife. At the close of 951 BCE or early in 950 Saloman departed for Palestine where he became a mighty power, and with a prearranged plan, permitted Shishak I to rule over his people. The history of Saloman or Solomon in Palestine is too well known to warrant any further comment except on one point.

Five years after Saloman began his rule in Palestine, or about 945 BCE, he completed a Temple there in which to house a “society” or brotherhood such as he had found in El Amarna. An examination of the plans and cross section views of the so-called Saloman’s Temple shows it to be not only typically Egyptian in architecture and decoration but copied after the R. C. Temple as El Amarna, even to the location of the altar, with the exception that the side structures which made the original building a CROSS were eliminated in Saloman’s plans.

Saloman had the assistance of two who had traveled in Egypt as architects and artists- Huram-abi of Tyre and one Hiram Abif.

It was found that Saloman restricted his order to males and adopted a great many of the details of the Rosaecrucian initiations and services. At first it was believed that he would apply to the Grand Lodge in Thebes for a charter and make his work a branch of the Order, but it became apparent before the first assembly was held that ahe was not adhering to the Rosaecrucian philosophy, for he used the sun as the exclusive symbol of his order.

Of the growth of the Saloman Brotherhood, as it was officially called in all ancient Rosaecrucian documents, one may read in all literature bearing upon Free Masonry how it has evolved into a semi-mystical, speculative, secret, fraternal order of power and great honor, gradually altering the principles laid down by Saloman, it is true, but doing so for the greater benefit of man and the glory of the true God.

Thus did Rosaecrucianism in its pure form fail to reach Palestine at this epoch.

At this point in the narrative it is probably worth mentioning that following the death of Akhnaton the official religion of Egypt returned to the religion of Ammon and the Temple of the Order was not the official religion that was followed or practiced in Egypt by the people or its rulers.

We continue the information contained in the “American Rosae Crucis” published in 1916 by Imperator H. Spencer Lewis.

The Growth of the Order

At the close of the first epoch of the Order’s history, ending with the transition of Amenhotep IV (Akhnaton) in 1350 BCE, there was but one Lodge, that which met in the Temple at El Amarna, and the Brothers and Sisters numbered four hundred and ten which included the Officers of the Lodge and the members of the Supreme High Council.

Plans had been made for years for the establishment of other Lodges in various countries but in those where a Lodge could have been established by one of the Egyptians who would have traveled there, war was raging and conditions were against any such institutions.

Greeks were coming to Egypt to study its philosophies and become acquainted with its learning. Many of them sought entrance into the Order but it appears from various Council Decisions that they were not admitted because of unpreparedness.

Fortunately in the Order at the time of the transition of Amenhotep IV was a sage named Hermes. So great was his learning and yet so mystical his many writings, purposely veiled so that they might be of value only to the future initiates, that the uninitiated minds of future years arose and acclaimed Hermes a MYTH and there are those today who try to establish his identity with that of the Egyptian god Thoth. However, it is the author’s pleasure to state now that which has never appeared in print before and which has perplexed investigators for centuries- the birthdate of Hermes- the thrice great man. He was born in Thebes, October 9th, 1399 BCE. He lived to the age of one hundred and fifty-two, dying in the Rosaecrucian Monastry at El Amarna, on March 22nd, 1247 BCE, and his mummy lies among others in a cachette in vicinity of El Amarna.

He was “thrice great” because he lived to attend the installation of Amenhotep IV as an R. C. Master, became Master himself upon the latter’s transition, and in 1249 BCE installed one Atonamen as Master of the Order.

It was at this time that Hermes completed his writings, especially the seven books and tablets which were found and brought to light in 400 CE, and which were upon diverse chemical and physical subjects.

It was finally decided that “no undue haste should be sanctioned in permitting the Brothers who have gone abroad to establish Lodges, but rather that those who travel here in search of the Light should be tried and those found qualified will be given the commission to return to their people and establish a Lodge in the name of the Order.”

It was in this wise the phrase “travel East for learning or Light” first came into use, for those who soon began to travel to Egypt came from the west.

About the year 1000 BCE there came to Egypt a character whose name is recorded as Saloman but who was identified in later years with Solomon.

We will speak more about Solomon in my next post!

Hi everyone!

I hope that you have found the free Organic Gnosticism course useful and informative. I have not been on the site for a while and need to determine whether to offer another class or not. I have produced and am still producing a lot of material, some of which is nice to know but not necessary. The reason for this class was to sift out the most important elements that would allow for a safe and orderly progression of material and ability.

This class provides a safe foundation for the more dangerous work of deliberately working with tantric sexual energies. By completing this free course you will have balanced the energy circuits within your body at the higher levels and established a safety net for dealing with sudden eruptions of lower trapped and repressed energies.

In my opinion what is offered in this course in needed before anyone can safely work with tantric sexual energies. Once this material is mastered you are on your own.

While I have given many hints in my writings I have stopped short of actually sharing my own personal experiences of working with tantric sexual orgasm energy and soulmate cycles. This includes a Divine Counterpart Cycle. The information is simply too dangerous to share for those not ready for it.

Essentially what I discovered was the core truth behind incubus and succubus experiences! Both incubus and succubus are the shadow aspects of real people that go out seeking sexual fulfillment from those with compatible energies. As the shadow aspect is integrated into the normal healthy ego one often gets to meet their astral sexual partners either in real life or through some form of correspondence. These are actually soulmate cycles and require a purity that expel any conflicting energies away. Most Divine Counterparts find each other but are not able to consummate their relationships on a physical level. They have other karmic commitments that prevent them from actually living together. But they can communicate with each other and have relationships on the astral planes and the etheric plane.

Energy vampirism is a violation of these very principles. The generated energy of one soul goes out and automatically seeks the appropriate soulmate partner while the vampire selects their victim in a violent way that is the act of a predator.

I have been led through seven soulmate cycles and one Divine Counterpart cycle in which I have experienced many aspects of falling in love with another person. Each of these cycles allowed both of us to permanently activate specific astral bodies and most involved positive and loving correspondence between us. Only one was physically consummated. All others were astrally consummated.

In a world where one cannot work with tantric sexual energies because they don’t have a partner this type of working is extremely powerful. Our energies are automatically drawn to a proper partner even if they are on the other side of the world!

At this stage in my life I have permanently activated my lowest etheric body and integrated all of my non-physical bodies into one complete soul body. This was my Divine Counterpart cycle. We live inside each other even though we are far apart. I’ve taken things as far as they can be taken. The rest is simply the multiplication of the philosopher’s stone. A sharing of what I know . . .

I have to decide if there is enough interest to create another course that shares what I know of these things. I would only share them with graduates of this course. There would need to be at least four people interested and I would need to charge $75 for the course because it costs me almost $500 a year for this site [ The Organic Gnosticism Course Site, not Pagan Space] and I have offered Organic Gnosticism for free. The course would basically be audio and text with much opportunity for questions and clarification. This would get into the experiential basics of what tantra really is from the perspective of someone who has traveled that path.

So I need to know if there is enough interest (at least four people) or I will simply drop this site [ The Organic Gnosticism site, not Pagan Space] because I cannot afford to pay $500 per year out of my own pocket. I need to make this decision sometime this spring so please respond if interested. Get in touch with me through the class or email me at:

joebandel@gmail.com

Reference OAK Tantra Class so I can spot it easily.

Thanks,

joe

We continue to read about Amenhotep IV from the pages of “The American Rosae Crucis” published in 1916.

But to him came the inspiration of throwing the worship of idols and substituting the religion and worship of one God, a supreme deity, whose Spirit was in heaven and whose physical manifestation was the sun- THE SYMBOL OF LIFE. This was in accordance with the Rosaecrucian doctrines and it changed the worship of the Sun as A god to the worship of THE god SYMBOLIZED by the sun. This was the beginning of Monotheism in Egypt and the origin of the worship of a spiritual deity which “EXISTED EVERYWHERE, IN EVERYTHING, but was NOTHING OF THE EARTH”.

He then changed his own name so that it would not be inconsistent with his reform. Amenhotep meant “Ammon is satisfied”; this he altered to Akhnaton or Ikhenaton meaning “pious to Aton” or “Glory to Aton”.

He built a new capital at El Amarna in the plain of Herm-opolis on a virgin site at the edge of the desert and abandoned Thebes because it was the MAGNIFICENT CITY OF AMMON. At El Amarna he also built a large Temple for the Order in “the form of a cross” and a large number of houses for his Council of the Order. Here was the beginning of the monastic life for within the boundaries of El Amarna lived two hundred and ninety six Brothers of the Order, each having taken an oath never to pass “beyond the shadow of the Temple”.

Akhnaton (Amenhotep IV) not only built his Temple in the form of a cross, but he added the cross and the rose as symbols of the Order and further adopted the Crux Ausata, in a special coloring, as the symbol to be worn by all teachers (Masters) in the Lodges.

As a ruler of Egypt our Master failed utterly to check the desire for war and by his attacks on the popular religion he left the way open for invasion through lack of cooperation on the part of his subjects. As the crisis approached our Master foresaw the result and sad at his neglect of political matters in his enthusiasm for the spiritual, he weakened his health- which seems to have been below normal- and he was finally forced to take to his bed in the month of July, 1350 BCE. Instead of using his mighty knowledge to regain his health it appears from his last dictated writings that his constant wish was to be spiritualized, that he might be RAISED UP TO THAT PLANE from which God’s symbol shone down upon him. He fasted- practically starving himself- refused the services of the physicians in the Order and prayed constantly. Then, on July 24, late in the afternoon, while he lay with his right hand upstretched to God pleading to be taken into the NOUS he was seen by his Brothers and Sisters of the Order watching there, to be actually raised from his bed for a moment and then to drop back in “sweet repose with a smile of illumination upon his countenance.”

Thusly passed to the beyond our Great Master who did so much and left so much for our Order.

Now we will continue our exploration of “American Rosae Crucis” published in 1916 by Imperator H. Spencer Lewis.

Thutmose III saw that the Order had very definite principles, rules and modes of procedure, all of which have come down to us today without material change.

At the close of his reign in 1447 BCE there were 39 Brothers and Sisters in the Order and the meetings, which had become regular and systematic, were held in one of the halls of the Temple of Karnak, outside of which Thutmose III erected two obelisks bearing a record of his achievements.

Before his transition, Thutmose III made his son co-regent. Thus Amenhotep II took up his father’s work in the Order about the end of September 1448 BCE.

Amenhotep II ruled from 1448 BCE to 1420 BCE and he in turn was succeeded by his son Thutmose IV who ruled from 1420 BCE to 1411 BCE.

Amenhotep III, son of the preceding, occupied the throne from 1411 BCE to 1375 BCE and was the last of the truly powerful Pharaohs or emperors.

Upon the transition of Amenhotep III the Empire fell to his son Amenhotep IV, with whose history all Rosaecrucians are greatly concerned. He was the last Great Master in the family of the founders and the one to whom we owe the really wonderful philosophies and writings used so universally in all Lodge work throughout the world.

Amenhotep IV was born in the Royal Palace at Thebes, November 34th, 1378 BCE. He was only eleven years old in 1367 BCE when he was crowned and immediately began a career unequaled by any Pharaoh of Egypt.

HIs father, having been the Master of the Order for a number of years, built the great Temple of Luxor and dedicated it to the Order. The Order numbered 83 Brothers and 62 Sisters at this time and at the crowning of young Amenhotep IV, the Master of the Order was one Thehopset who remained in the office until 1365 BCE. Amenhotep’s installation as MASTER-BY-COUNCIL-DECREE occurred in the Temple of Luxor, April 9th, 1365 BCE, at sunset, in the presence of his bride and her parents.

Amenhotep IV being the only descendant it was deemed advisable that he marry as early as the customs then permitted in order that an heir to the throne could be assured. But though Amenhotep IV had a number of children, unfortunately they were daughters, and this proved disastrous to the Order as well as to the throne.

We have a little more to share about this great Master before we move on in this overview of the Order according to Imperator H. Spencer Lewis.

Julian Jaynes in his book “The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind” demonstrates just when humanity stopped hearing the voices of the gods in their heads. He identifies the period between the Greek classics by Homer, “The Iliad” and the “Odyssey”. Considered to having been written sometime between the 8th and 9th centuries BCE. According to Jaynes the “Iliad” belongs to the time when what we call consciousness does not exist in humanity. The human hears the voice of the god or goddess speaking to them and simply does what they are told. The “Odyssey” in contrast demonstrates a certain kind of mentality that is capable of self reflection.

While Jaynes suggests this change in human consciousness is the result of the invention of reading and writing, it might also be the result of the mutual self destruction of the Anunnaki civilizations. In any case they seem to have lost their ability to communicate with their gods like Enlil and Enki.

In another way we see the “hive mind of humanity” at work here. As the ancient Egyptians lost the ability to hear the voices of the gods and goddesses in their heads, they turned instead to their rulers, the Pharaohs and made gods and goddesses of them! Those in the Order seemed to be the only ones able to communicate with the unseen and immortal Anunnaki Gods and Goddesses. We will see later on just how important this ability was to the ancient Egyptians and members of the Order.

We might also take a look at our modern society in which one portion of it seems to be gaining the ability to channel spiritually advanced entities and hear voices in their heads and the other portion that steadfastly refuses to even admit the possibility of a soul. Those who deny the existence of a soul demand obedience to external authorities! Is this the completion of one cycle and the beginning of another?

In any case the civilization that now developed in Egypt was based upon Spiritual Light and very mystical in nature. We see the members of the Order using all methods possible to find ways to reunite with their unseen companions, the immortal Anunnaki known as gods and goddesses.

In contrast, on the other side of the Mediterranean in Crete, we see a Goddess oriented civilization that openly celebrated both life and death. It was aligned with nature and the powers of life and rebirth. The writing that existed was for business and inventory needs and not for the keeping of sacred knowledge. Sacred knowledge was passed down in experiential ways, in shamanistic ways. This was not the life giving power of the sun, but the life bringing vital life force energy of the earth itself, Mother Gaia. It also celebrated these things in story and song. The Greeks produced dramatic plays to tell the sacred stories. In Crete we are able to see how the influence of Enki was much different than the influence of Enlil in Egypt.

Also deeply embedded within the ancient Minoan and Mycenaean mythologies were the stories of the underworld or other world, or Summerland, things that were missing in the Egyptian mysteries.

One wonders what our world would be like today if the Minoan civilization had not been destroyed through violent volcanic eruptions. Instead of a patriarchal world it might have been a matriarchal world or at least one more balanced between the sexes.

I needed to bring these things up because we will soon see that the ancient Greeks began coming to Egypt in “search of light”.

I am going to temporarily set aside my discussion of the Order in Egypt as we take a peak at what is happening on the other side of the Mediterranean. Same time period, around 3,000 BCE after the Anunnaki civilization has been wiped out and what was once lush tropical land has now turned into the Sahara desert.

Amazingly, as if out of nowhere, the Minoan civilization flourishes on the island of Crete just off Greece. It is an advanced civilization and the only known advanced civilization of antiquity known to be Goddess oriented. But genetically there has been no change. This advanced civilization emerged out of the native population of Crete itself. It appears to belong to haplogroup H. This civilization created the first form of writing in Europe! It originated from ancient peoples that lived in central Europe. These have been called West European Farmers.

Right next door in ancient Greece appears the Mycenaean civilization which is highly influenced by the Minoan civilization. The Mycenaean civilization extends outward to the east into western Anatolia (Turkey) and into the Pontic Steppe north of the Black Sea. It also pushes into the Aegean basin. Genetically it is influenced by the western European Farmers, but also the hunter gatherer tribes from the Pontic Steppe and to a certain extent from western Anatolia. The Mycenaean civilization has a much more diverse population than that found in Crete although they are very close.

Let’s take a step back and look at what is happening. Immediately after the mutual destruction of the Anunnaki civilizations we see haplogroup R1b coming down from the Caucasus regions to occupy Sumer and then to inhabit Egypt. There is a mad dash to write down all sacred knowledge before it is lost. Much of the ancient technology has been lost. The line of Pharaohs begins with the first dynasties and these Pharaohs are the keepers of a secret knowledge. They form what they call the Order. These are the followers of Enlil.

On the other side of the Mediterranean we have a similar thing happening in Crete with a totally different advanced civilization appearing with its own form of writing. What is really going on here?

Julian Jaynes in his book “The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind” draws some pretty interesting conclusions and says in part that once people invented reading and writing they lost the ability to hear the voices of the gods and goddesses in their heads!

Suddenly there were no voices to be heard! What happened to all those non-physical Anunnaki souls? It seems they were somehow forced into physical human bodies. They became trapped in physicality. They frantically sought ways of retrieving their sacred knowledge and writing it down.

A couple thousand years later, around 1,100 BCE Crete was destroyed when a nearby volcano erupted both destroying the Minoan civilization and plunging Greece into the Dark Ages. This is most probably when the seeds were planted in central Europe for the shamanistic Druid civilization and for the sacred Goddess mysteries at Samothrace in the Aegean.

This brings up an interesting point about the Anunnaki. Did Enlil and Enki really have physical bodies or were they immortal gods and simply on occasion “take possession” of a physical body that was provided to them by the priesthood? Such possession would only be temporary like the Loa riding their worshipers in Voodoo or like many modern channelers that channel certain entities to transmit sacred knowledge. In any case the war of mutual destruction of the Anunnaki did seem to make it impossible for such channeling to take place and the Anunnaki souls became trapped in physical bodies and in the reincarnation cycles experienced by the native humans.

I’m feeling a bit stupid right now. I’ve been diving into my genetic history and learning about it makes my head spin as some of it seems counter intuitive at best. For example, the further you go back in time the closer to the origins right? Not necessarily! For example haplogroup G which I belong to developed out of haplogroup F which originated in the Balkans and Aegea basin. So they say it spread out to the Caucasus where haplogroup G originated, or did it? What is more like the truth is that my ancestors emerged somewhere along that line between the Balkans and Aegean basin and the Caucasus mountains. My personal ancestors may have never come near the Caucasus mountains! Its like there is this big hay stack and my ancestors may have come from any of those points!

So we narrow things down a bit genetically and I find myself part of haplogroup G-M406 which did appear to originate around the Balkans and Aegean basin. There were migrations that spread out from the Balkans and Aegean into Turkey, Greece, Italy, Germany, France and into Britain. My ancestors might never have left the area!

As we continue to narrow things down genetically I find myself part of haplogroup G-PF3296 which seems to center around Italy with members that extended throughout what became the Roman Empire. That doesn’t mean my own ancestors extended that far from home! This is part of why I was getting so confused. My ancestors or relatives were probably Roman legionaries in the Roman Empire.

Then streak of luck! Genetically narrowing things down even further I find myself part of haplogroup G-PF3316 and there was one ancient match at a grave site in Rome dating around 300 CE. I also had a modern match from a person that lived in Italy. While I’m waiting to know and understand more this seems to say that both this modern match and I have a common ancestor that lived in Rome around 300 CE!

I decided to do further genetic testing and am waiting on my Big Y results which might be several weeks. But my focus has definitely shifted away from the Caucasus mountains to Italy and 4th century Rome. This of course being the end of the Roman Empire. My family roots appear to be Roman at this point.

I’m going to share some information that comes from a magazine called “American Rosae Crucis” which was first published in 1916 by H. Spencer Lewis when he was starting up the Rosicrucian Order AMORC here in New York. This was a public magazine so I am not giving away any secrets so to speak. However, it seems that in a few issues of this magazine he spoke perhaps a bit too clearly about some things of interest, things that might be helpful to us.

But some of this might also trigger people and lead to an incorrect picture of the Rosicrucian Order AMORC as it exists today and of which I am still a member. The Rosicrucian Order AMORC is mystical and philosophical. It’s ultimate goal is to lead its members to that mystical state called Cosmic Consciousness or Christ Consciousness where you experience being one with all that exists. In my years of study and membership I believe that I have received a very thorough training in what I would call objectivism philosophy. Everything is based upon the importance of moving toward the Spiritual Light and the achievement of what others call the crossing of the Great Abyss.

My own path, which I call Organic Gnosticism, really has nothing in common with what I learned in the Rosicrucian Order. Organic Gnosticism is more concerned with the mechanical process of developing the soul through the development and permanent activation of all the astral bodies including the formation of a strong connection to both the Spiritual Light and the Womb of Creation. There is no conflict between Organic Gnosticism and AMORC, they simply teach different things.

In a similar manner there seems to be no connection between the mystical path of Rosicrucianism and that of Druidry. Druidry is based upon developing a solid connection with mother earth, the underworld or other world and nature while Rosicrucianism is based upon developing a solid connection the the Spiritual Light.

Having said this I have no reason to doubt what is said in these early issues of the “American Rosae Crucis”. Some was later repeated in advanced lessons and some was not.

The Order had its conception and birth in Egypt. The Egyptians had reached a high state of civilization that was comparable to the Renaissance in France. There was a great effort to preserve the knowledge so that it might be given to future generations. But the more profound secrets of nature, science and art were not to be entrusted to the masses and classes were formed by the most learned, and attended by the most select minds to teach these subjects. Over time the members of such assemblies became more and more select, the teachings became more profound and the discussions so dialectic that there arose a most autocratic and secret society of the truly great minds of the day.

The first Pharaoh who conducted this class in his private chambers was Ahmose I who reigned from 1580 BCE to 1557 BCE. He was known by some historians as the “deliverer of Egypt”.

Before we continue with this little history let’s take a step back and look at the big picture and what we know today. From DNA genealogy we know that the Egyptian Pharaohs, or at least some of them, belonged to haplogroup R1b which originated in mystery somewhere north of the Caucasus mountains and burst into what became ancient Sumer and Egypt.

So immediately after the war that destroyed the Anunnaki civilization around 3,000 BCE this group of primitive warriors arrived in Egypt and founded not only the first dynasty of Pharaohs but also founded the world’s first and greatest mystery school? Where did they get this secret knowledge? Did they have it before they arrived? Were they in contact with non-physical Anunnaki? Or did they rediscover where it had been hidden deep inside Egypt?

This seems to be evidence that haplogroup R1b, which is the most common haplogroup in modern Europe, is an Anunnaki-Human Hybrid! An Anunnaki soul in a human physical body.
