OUR FREEDOM CONSTITUTES RIGHT TO THINK, SPEAK AND ACT WITH INTENTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND FREEWILL
 Freedom deals with and affects our daily lives in many ways, including the effects from “Age of Aquarius” with growing importance of astrological sign of Aquarius. Its clear definition is: “freedom is right to think, speak, and act as we want”, with ability to change, contemplate and meditate.
Glance at History of Freedom
 From dawn of human history there have been fights and wars between tribes and nations with winners and losers, and losers becoming servants or slaves with less rights of freedom. In ancient Rome and other peoples, for instance, women had less rights than men, with prearranged marriages for their children, continued inequality with degrees of freedom in families and groups of people, and with attendant rights and privileges. With time, humankind achieved much freedom to think, speak and act, and human desire for freedom becomes so strong that people, alone or in groups and in organized activities, stood up against tyranny for their own rights. They defended their right to think, speak and act freely, and are willing to sacrifice their lives to achieve freedom.
 The French Revolution of 1789 carried the words: liberté, égalité, fraternité, (translated as liberty, equality and fraternity). These words resonate strongly in human history as powerful introduction to the Age of Aquarius. After the horror of two World Wars, the freshly established United Nations issued, on December 10, 1948, the famous text of “Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)” that lays the foundations of freedom as milestone document in history of human rights. This milestone document treats the rights to life, security, liberty, freedom of movement, freedom to marry with free and full consent of intended spouses, right to own property, freedom of thoughts, conscience and religion, freedom of opinion and expression, in best spirit of humanity and brotherhood. We are essentially one, as we are each infused and connected with the same Cosmic Intelligence. However, complete freedom does not exist on Earth, rather, freedom grows on individual and societal levels with phenomenon of responsibility, intent and freewill.
Freedom Comes With Responsibility
 By George Bernard Shaw: “Freedom makes huge requirement of every human being, and with freedom comes responsibility”. Also with Carl Jung: “The price of freedom is responsibility”. Overall level of freedom is directly proportional with degree of responsibility that we intentionally take within our personal developmental process. Freedom and responsibility are connected in modern business practices; employers give more freedom (more autonomy or empowerment) to their managers and employees for increased productivity and higher levels. Teal organizations, as modern organizational development model, reported substantial increase in efficiency, employees’ self-esteem and wellbeing, with supporting autonomy (freedom) promoting motivation that improves trust, self-discipline and higher accountability yield in creativity. Kennon M. Sheldon and his colleagues at University of Missouri tested and found that psychological freedom (autonomy) and personal responsibility are complementary, with further premise that freedom improves responsibility. Being responsible for our own thoughts, words and deeds is serious concept because freedom is power; we must learn to master and harness this power.
 Our Rosicrucian Order specifically promotes the freedom of thoughts, words, or deeds, as well as resulting responsibility to support our growth. We are encouraged to look deeply at what effects that our thoughts and deeds project, in action-reaction process. To balance the promotion of freedom, the Supreme Grand Lodge of AMORC in 2005 issued the “Rosicrucian Declaration of Human Duties”. To explore our free will, we take part in visualizing meditative initiation after the Master of the Temple presents discourse on Freedom, Responsibility and Freewill towards the best use of our free thoughts, words and actions.
 After the Chaplain makes an invocation to invite Divine Presence to the Rosicrucian Temple, the Conductor escorts us individually to the Sanctum of the Temple to experience strong feeling of Divine Essence that permeate our entire being. When bathed in white Light, we are strengthened to serve the Cosmic WILL according to “thy will be done”, to Divine Glory and benefit of humankind, and with free honest intention to serve the Divine. We are again, individually escorted to Western point of the Shekinah facing the East, to read from contents of old parchment on the Shekinah, wholly and honestly to the Divine, and in fulfillment of the words: “thy will be done.” We are escorted back individually to our seat and to leave the Temple at close of ritual with task to fulfill and to offer our service in “thy will be done” at all time. So Mote It Be!

Some of the strongest habits we carry are emotional reactions - automatic ways we respond to certain people, situations, or triggers.
These emotional patterns often run so deep that we don’t even notice them until they keep producing the same results in our lives.
When we observe our emotional habits without judgment, we create space for new, more conscious responses.

ABOUT SELF BEGINNING.
Every human being in creation and wherever from is a bundle of questions about "Self" but most enriching is the "Self Questioning the Self ".
Till date the question and worries about one engaging the self in the most basic questions, "Where am I coming from, who am I and where am I going from here"?, all replicate the great questions about the beginning of self.
When am I, who am I and what constitutes the conviction of who truly one is.
Is one's beginning of soul and/ or spiritual essence attributable to God the Creator of every living being,everywhere, in heavenly realms if truly it is the way we describe Heaven as the abode of God?
1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Going by this quotation, one may be tempted to start asking or reflecting on what preceded the beginning of creation and how many of the heavens abound and where exactly the location of where God truly is including even "Hell" which was not mentioned as being part of the beginning.
There are no doubts in the existence of life cycles for almost everything.
The beginning or birth, the growth, maturity and eventually the decline and maybe the end.
In all these every individual gets agitated to ask what and who exactly one is in this journey of existence.
Yes, one should not just be existing as if none existing. There should always be the conscious interludes in the consciousness of self undergoing birth, rebirth and beginning from birth to eternal birth and beginning.
According to 1 Corinthians 13:11 in the King James Version (KJV), "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." This passage emphasizes the necessity of spiritual maturity, moving from limited, immature understanding to adult, seasoned perspective.
It is a passionate review and reflection in the journey of life, the questioning and zeal to become whatever one wants to be and intends to be too.
Questioning one self, the birth and the beginning is synonymous with the Rosicrucian encouraging signal and capsule in the statement that, "A Rosicrucian is a walking question mark".(?).
Walking question mark that elicits further instructions that a Rosicrucian must investigate, study and practically apply spiritual and natural laws for the attainment of good health, happiness, peace and joy in all the good things of life.
These desires and obligations to a self fulfilling life as one undertakes the journey of the beginning of birth to a wholesome spiritual birth could be likened to a Sufi mystic's admonition, "And now we shall throw you into the fire of spiritual passion and you shall become refined". Another picturesque of to being "Born again ".
The beginning of any phenomenon even like history could be likened to what a Swiss historian describes of history. According to him, "History is that subject where it is difficult to begin from the beginning ".
A journey from the Cross to the Rose and from the Rose back to the Cross is a similitude of an impressive but complex journey to what every individual must undertake at every birth and beginning if alluding to struggling to move from the darkness of the mundane world in order to seek the Greater Light, self- mastery and personal mastership.
Spiritual realisation of self is not an easy journey, a voyage to self realisation that allows one to appreciate the fulfilment of the Creator of every living being, everywhere in His emphatic statement as we once had in the Rosicrucian Funeral Rite:
" I am the Alpha and Omega,
The Beginning and the End and therefore the Beginning ".
What a great explanation in the richness in the beginning of our self in the journey of life, the cycling and recycling of this spiritual self that will ultimate one, one day in eternal light, Life and Love.
May the Cosmic blessings shower us all in an enriching beginning of self and realisations of ultimate goal to Peace Profound.
So mote it be.

Have you ever promised yourself you wouldn’t repeat something… and still did?

Many of our decisions are driven by subconscious habits and invisible life patterns we’re not even aware of.
When we make a conscious effort to observe our thoughts, emotions, and automatic reactions without judgment, we gain awareness that helps us loosen the grip these patterns have on us. 🌹

🌿 Welcome to May, beloved members and friends! 🌿
As we step into this beautiful new month, we are reminded that real growth often lies in our willingness to examine the patterns that silently shape our lives.

This Flavour of the Month is: Breaking Invisible Life Patterns.

Many of us unknowingly repeat the same thoughts, reactions, habits, and emotional cycles; patterns we inherited, learned, or unconsciously adopted over time. These invisible patterns can limit our joy, growth, and inner peace without us even realising it.

May this month be a time of gentle yet powerful awakening. May we develop the courage to see clearly, the wisdom to understand deeply, and the strength to transform what no longer serves our highest good.

Let's walk this path of self-mastery together. 🌹

COMMEMORATING THE COLOMBE’S ANNUAL DAY WITH LIGHT – LIFE – LOVE AS SACRED TRINITY OF ROSICRUCIAN TRADITION
 Pharaoh Thutmose III’s coronation cartouche inspired special meditation exercise with Sacred Trinity of Rosicrucian Tradition that links: The Sun sign with Light, the Earth sign with Life, and the Scarab with Love as we journey through time and space of our Infinite Divine Source. On first convocation in May, this weekend, we especially commemorate the Colombe’s Annual Day in homage to young women who serve us as Colombes with these Sacred symbols.
In the Beginning Was – the One
 On how Creation at Source came into being, with universe moving from Oneness into Diversity, the Rosicrucians know and enact the mystical Idea of our Presence in Creation and our way back to Oneness by becoming aware of who, or what, we are at our very core. In Temple convocations, Rosicrucian philosophy describes life on Earth as awakening process with visible ritual that creates solemn and dignified expression of three attributes of Light, Life and Love, through which the Divine Presence reveals Self as Sacred Trinity of our Rosicrucian Tradition. We wake up to deep inner experience of how Oneness, at Divine Source, gave us three shining stars of Light, Life and Love, to guide us back to Source through Life on Earth plane for higher purpose. We are co-creators and co-actors in Great Plan and Magnum Opus as we rediscover and understand our participation. We are drawn to Rosicrucian Order in this life and time, and Rosicrucian Tradition provides needed guidance to complete the Great Plan by awakening us to the words of “Know thyself” with courage, determination and sacrifice.
 Our Imperator reminded us of historical event of Rosicrucians that gathered in Port of Rotterdam in 1694 with courageous decision to embark on an adventurous and perilous journey to “The New World.” They dared to believe that what awaited them across the ocean was better, and worth standing up for their beliefs and freedom of thought. They decided with courage to leave behind what is old, and to open the door to what is more hopeful and better. Since every important and crucial choice must be made before embarking on journey, the Rosicrucian Tradition provides us with navigational equipment, maps, rudders and sails for the ship to take us into an ever-brighter future to fulfil this Great Work as we mystically journey toward the East.
 We follow needed contemplative visualization by sitting comfortably in Rosicrucian Temple with meaningful, symbolic framework. We take deep, neutral breaths as we visualize self to start journey from southeast of Temple in movement of the Sun to re-enact the Divine Great Work and Magnum Opus of long time ago. Through many lifetime journeys on ocean of life, we “woke up” with inner voice reminding us why we have incarnated here on this Earth. Through this mystical experience and, as seeker with desire to understand, we become inspired to constantly seek knowledge, insight and understanding by turning over every stone, open every book, with courage to question and acquire needed knowledge to lighten up our world. As we learn and understand, we are humbled by our smallness in this mighty, immense Creation, and we are inspired by our compelling inner greatness. Nature becomes our mirror to contemplate self as reflections to self-insight to understand our deeper purpose, plan and special gift of life. With right management and guidance to further lighten our way, our solitary journey beams in more meaningful Light within the Rosicrucian Fraternity.
 The Rosicrucian Philosophy teaches us with indispensable symbolic language as tools of the soul as we glimpse our Primordial Source. With these symbols, we learn of outer and inner silence, our thoughts and need for our emotions to become still, so that in silence, we clearly hear the Inner Voice of our Inner Master. In all our different journeys on ocean of life, we have very special vehicle and conveyor, expressed in symbolic form of vesica piscis, mandorla, ancient symbol of passage, between the physical and spiritual worlds. Its shape gives the outline of ship carrying our most precious cargo: the Ark, the Shekinah, Divine Presence that reveals to us through Light, Life and Love as promise that we made previously at dawn of our time to Oneness to be fulfilled by persistently continuing the work of knowing self and becoming more transparent to who we are and have always been. We see clearly our goal, we take our place in the bow, and are ready to shoot.
 With further visualization, we imagine three colombes symbolically manifesting the indescribable treasure that we carry to set sail, confidently, into our ever-brighter future. We contemplate our own journey towards the ultimate goal of Creation with our role to carry the Rosicrucian Tradition into the future to serve its vital purpose in Great Plan.
 As we commemorate this Colombes Day in this first convocation in May, our duty is to make the sacred Rosicrucian Trinity of Light, Life and Love more visible in every human heart through good example. We are indebted to make the world reflect what it has always been, is, and continues to be, in Light, Life, and Love, So Mote It Be!

What we consistently direct our mind toward becomes the seed of transformation, growth, and inner mastery.

When we learn to harness attention, we awaken the hidden potential of the human mind, opening the door to wisdom, creativity, and progress. 🌹

Most people live at the mercy of their thoughts, allowing fleeting emotions and old mental habits to dictate how they feel and behave.
When you practise directing your attention consistently, you stop being a victim of mental chatter and become its calm observer and master. You catch negative or limiting thoughts early, choose your response, and protect your inner peace.
