ROSICRUCIAN PYRAMID, MEMORIAL CEREMONY AND HERITAGE (RC-3379) AT AUTUMN EQUINOX 2026
 Astronomical Autumn (Fall) Equinox for 2026 in Northern Hemisphere occurs on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at 00:05 HRS GMT (01:05 A.M. Nigeria Time), when the Sun crosses the Celestial Equator at Latitude 00 Degree Libra to mark equal day and equal night before moving south towards the Tropic of Capricorn. For Southern Hemisphere, Autumn Equinox occurred earlier on March 20, 2026 at 14:46 HRS GMT. Solar annual journey round the four seasons from the Equator, started with 2026 Spring (Vernal) Equinox in Northern Hemisphere on Friday, March 20, 2026, at 14:46 HRS GMT (03:46 P.M. Nigeria Time), when the Sun entered the Aries sign at 00 Degree on Equator (Latitude 00) to typify ‘equal day and equal night’. The Sun moved upward to Tropic of Cancer at 00 Degree Cancer on Sunday, June 21, 2026 at 08.24 HRS GMT (09.24 AM Nigeria Time) to mark the Summer Solstice in Northern Hemisphere with longest day and shortest night of the year. It moves down toward the Equator to reach the Autumn (Fall) Equinox with the Sun exactly above the Equator. Each year has two equinoxes, with nearly equal day and night in Spring and Autumn (Fall). Corresponding increasing tilts away from the Sun lead to fewer daylight hours as the Sun rises later and sets earlier. This tilt continues to increase until Winter Solstice when the Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is tilted most strongly away from the Sun.
 Rosicrucians worldwide, at period of Autumn Equinox, commemorate the building of pyramids, especially, the great Pyramid of Gizeh, of ancient Egypt and to celebrate the Pyramid Fete, also known as the Pyramid Ceremony. In Rosicrucian tradition, the Pyramid represents a set of Ideals or virtues systematically arranged from base to peak, and surmounted by Rosy Cross at its peak. The Pyramid of Ideals, symbolizing the virtues, reached in step-by-step order and surmounted by the Rosy Cross of purity and perfection, is constant reminder towards illumination with perfected state of character that we, as Rosicrucians, aspire to attain. Through study, teaching and practical application of natural and spiritual laws to highest conceivable standards of Peace Profound, Health and Happiness, we lay the Rosicrucian Pyramid of Ideals from base to apex as follows: • Truth• Tolerance• Honour• Justice• Temperance • Honestly • Fortitude • Morality• Chastity• Duty. Truth, as foundation stone or step, begins as our ascending step in Pyramid of Ideals to the Summit that represents Duty to God and Humanity.
 We mentally create new picture of our personal needs to commemorate this Heritage using the principles of Pyramid of Ideals to make our new life and new day. We build it up, part by part, stone by stone, and step by step, in our mind, until we have perfect picture of the future that we want beyond our today’s horizon. We mentally internalize and align our thoughts and conduct daily to perfect our lives, to become more illumined and experience Peace Profound with gratitude. We pay special tribute to all who served the Rosy Cross for Greater Light; we pledge to always remain loyal to the Ideals of our beloved Order and for Memorial of the work of our past effort. The great Creative Power resides within us to activate our Rosicrucian Tradition to all continents, and enlightens us to knowledge of the Mysteries as we rise above and beyond our comfort zone and limitations, relax our self-criticism and improve our self-worth to release what no longer serves us, recognize our innate Wisdom and Compassion, listen to Intuition and attune for Highest Good with Greater Light. This timeless, impersonal, universal and pristine tradition, that originated from Atlantis and symbolized in Egypt by the Great Pyramid, entails mystical ideals and philosophical doctrines with origin in Cosmic Wisdom as perpetuated throughout the centuries. In Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, this tradition finds expression worthy of its loftiness and grandeur and, as Rosicrucians, we have the privilege to belong to this traditional initiatory organization that dates from time immemorial before the God of our Deepest Understanding and God of our Heart.
 For this year, 2026, (RC-3379), this ceremony falls at this weekend of September 19-20, 2026, closest to Autumn Equinox Date, and to be celebrated in all Affiliated Bodies (ABs) of Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, in Nigeria and Ghana within the English Grand Lodge of West Africa. Friends and members of the Order, and non-members, too, are invited to attend the Annual Pyramid and Memorial Ceremony. Those living in Port Harcourt area, Rivers State of Nigeria, may participate with following ABs: Dabaye Amaso Lodge, Omagwa, Port Harcourt; Thales Lodge, Rumuokwurusi, Port Harcourt; and Akhnaton Chapter, Abuloma, Port Harcourt, as good public extension outreach for Rosicrucian Order, AMORC.
 Before the God of our Deepest Understanding, God of our Heart and Masters of our Culture and Tradition, may we innovate, create and build realities with Pyramid of Ideals, in worthiness and goodness. May we, now and forever, deserve the honour of belonging to this Order whose mission it is to preserve this ancient Heritage for humanity in Peace Profound. So Mote It Be!

INTUITION, ROOTED IN OUR DIVINE SOUL DIMENSION, IS OF SPIRITUAL FACULTY
 By famous philosopher Dane Rudhyar: “Intuition is holistic perception and awareness of Identity of the Inner Whole Being”, followed with: “Intuition is what you know that you do not know how you know it, but then, you know what you know.” Our Rosicrucian teachings explain that, as human beings, we are endowed with objective consciousness that utilize our five physical senses and subjective mental functions or faculties to process imagination, memory, reasoning, etc. In human being, Cosmic Consciousness uses natural and universal laws to manifest Divine Intelligence in perfect universal flow of Cosmic Consciousness to permanently link knowledge of past, present and future Intelligence. Objective consciousness, with five physical senses, and subjective functions or faculties, are limited to perception and interpretation of material, visible and tangible world. But provided we silence the objective reasoning and listen to our Inner Master, our inner faculty of intuition transcends this limited power of mind faculties.
 Intuition is spiritual faculty of immediate perception without any intermediary of situational reasoning behavior, principle or law that hinders perception and does not depend on brain or objective consciousness to manifest. In Sixth Law of Rosicrucian Ontology, “A person is double being in nature, but triple in manifestation”, and being composed of dense physical body and soul of spiritual nature. When the soul is incarnated in physical body of human being at birth, it generates an intermediate psychic body that allows the soul to contact the Knowledge Repository with terrestrial plane through the physical body to fulfil natural ultimate goal of evolution. Intuition manifests through thought, feeling or emotion and reception of inner Voice that directs us to specific answers from specific questions if our questions are legitimate and acceptable from Cosmic point of view. We develop intuition through our inner latently developed, stimulated and maintained faculty to manifest with certainty and without obstruction, doubt and skepticism when we are in passive harmonious phase with the Cosmic.
 Science indicates that human being, especially up to the end of our infantile stage, has healthy development to contact with greatest possible diversity of stimuli that natural and human environment provide, and no scientific discovery or creative production come solely from objective mental activity. Einstein, in earmarking intuition as responsible to scientific breakthrough, expressed that: Intuitive mind is sacred gift and rational mind is faithful servant, but we create society that honors the servant and forgets the gift. Thomas Alva Edison remarked that induced short sleep and dreams helped on his inventions; he added that when he felt blocked and unable to continue his research, he simply slept. This practice helped him with additional insight and intuitive symbols into questions on his research. Scientific method combines both intuition and empirical observation to reach new horizons and knowledge. Sir Francis Bacon, in seventeenth century, and Immanuel Kant, in eighteenth century, recognized the role of intuition in research activities. Mexican scientist, Arturo Rosenblueth attested that intuition in studied scientific method manifests as working hypothesis, problem or phenomenon. Carl Gustav Jung, MD, defined intuition as unconscious process that brings sudden idea into consciousness. Our primitive ancestors relied on intuition for excellent survival techniques and ways of life. With intuition, we understand the importance of listening to our Inner Self and Master for Divine Guidance.
 For mystical experiment, we intone the vowel sound AUM three times to produce harmonization between our physical, psychic and spiritual aspects of our being with our Inner Self. Each of the three letters of AUM represents point in our sacred triangle to manifest on visible and invisible planes. Since the purpose of this mystical exercise is to commune with our Inner Master, we mentally affirm this desire with following request: “I wish to commune with my Inner Master” and we surrender to Cosmic Communion before we slowly return to objective plane. In humility and supplication, we bow our head forward, and recite mentally: God of our Heart, God of our Realization, we thank You for privilege of approaching You, and for all the gifts we have in our life. We ask You to inspire us on Path of Goodness and to raise us to understand Your laws and to become living expression of Your perfection. Our deepest desire is to know happiness and Deep Peace, and to help and guide all humanity on Path of evolution. So Mote It Be!
 May the Grand Architect of the Universe, through our efforts as Rosicrucian students, our Soul, the Rose and WILL blossom its live petals as our our Guide on mystical path that leads us to Peace Profound. So Mote It Be!

ROSICRUCIAN TEACHINGS AND PHILOSOPHY, IN CONNECTION WITH ANCIENT BELIEF SYSTEM AND CULTURE OF JAPAN’S AINU PEOPLE
 The Ainu the are oldest surviving indigenous people of Japan that live mainly on today’s Hokkaido, Japan’s second largest island, with inherited unique arctic tradition of worship of several deities that represented various aspects of nature, with most names of places coming from Ainu language. Anthropologists classify the Ainu as belonging to “northern peoples,” in cluster of ancient ethnic populations with conditions of extreme cold. But analyses of Ainu bones and genes show that their ancestors lived in East Asian mainland, and migrated from India approximately 40,000 years ago to enter the Japanese islands from Asian mainland through land-bridge in extreme south approximately 25,000 years ago. Culture of northern peoples with Agricultural Revolution brought very dramatic change with first use of Fire to process formerly inedible foods into nutritious and edible foods.
 With post-agricultural revolution, many societies continued partly with nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle for parts of the year and maintain settled agricultural lifestyle during growing and harvesting seasons, with little or no concept of property ownership. Petitioning to Higher Power or Deities emerged around this sedentary time and such invocations were performed routinely and possibly communally. On many occasions, prayer was performed in face of danger and hunger, to start systematically organized religious belief. With small communities being constantly on brink of starvation or of perishing from extreme weather, community members learned of Nature, and to live together with different tribes. Their intuition and observation of Nature improved the study of medicinal herbs. Transformation from wandering hunter-gatherer societies to sedentary agricultural base, resulted in regional population growth with accumulated wisdom from times of extreme hardship during hunter-gatherer periods. However, agricultural revolution resulted in widespread deforestation, primarily to convert land to agricultural use, with negative consequences for human health and increasing conflicts between clans, tribes and nations.
 Ainu world-view and various concurrences with Rosicrucian teachings relate to souls that the Ainu classified into three categories: the first consists of souls of deities; second group consists of souls of humans; third group consists of souls of tools. By Ainu people, deities were souls of creatures with powers and abilities that exceed those of humans, where both deities and humans needed one another. The Ainu people regarded Fire as goddess with ability to cook food and to heat bodies. Deities derived sanctity with veneration shown to them by human subjects; influence for deities rose and fell in rank, depending on received level of worship, appreciation and gratitude. When an Ainu house was built, the goddess of Fire, as intermediary between humans and deities, was invited to dwell within the house with special ritual performance. Traditional Ainu houses were regarded as temples with fire-hole in center of the house to warm the house and to cook food. Once Fire ignition ritual was performed, the goddess of Fire entered to reside in the fire-hole.
 The Ainu believed that humans were composed of body and soul; with passage through transition, the soul separated from its body and returned to realm of the dead located to West of their living world, the abode of souls of their past relatives. Aged or dying Ainu believed that after spending time in world of the dead, their soul would progress to higher mountain, in world of the living, from where they eventually enter the body of a child at birth. But highly developed souls became freed from returning to Earth, and were born instead as deities in realm of deities. Human souls born in realm of deities were believed to gravitate to souls of like-mind to experience and discuss various problems that occurred in worlds they previously traversed. They also discussed when, where, and which human soul should be allowed to reincarnate as well as discerning the best way to assist and guide human souls that recently passed through transition.
 The Ainu had no written language and their stories were orally conveyed from generation to generation over thousands of years. They believed that conversations between deities sounded like music, and their stories were sung in epic tone poems called Yukar. Elderly women sang stories to grandchildren to perpetuate tradition of appreciation and admiration to deities and Nature. Prayers and rituals were performed for smooth soul circulation with regard to Ainu Beliefs on Reincarnation of Human Souls.
 Correspondences arise between Ainu’s ancient belief systems on beauty and culture, and Rosicrucian teachings and philosophy. The Ainu people had achieved excellence in many fields to contribute to welfare of human beings.

In a world full of opinions, noise, advice, and expectations… how do you know what is truly right for you?

This September, we invite you to pause and look beyond the many voices competing for your attention.

Because your inner compass is not impulse.
It is not emotion.
It is not fear.
And it is not wishful thinking.

What if true inner guidance is cultivated through awareness, conscious observation, reflection, and the willingness to become quiet within?

Sometimes, the better path does not begin with finding an immediate answer. It begins with asking a better question.

What am I truly observing?
What is influencing this decision?
Am I reacting - or am I becoming aware?

✨ This month, begin the journey of discovering what it truly means to trust your inner compass.

WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER

OUR INNER SELF AND INVISIBLE GUARDIAN FROM DIVINE SOURCE, ALWAYS HELPING US, ESPECIALLY WHEN LIFE IS AT ITS BLEAKEST
 Our Rosicrucian Manual defines the Inner Self as spiritual consciousness, within our physical body, that constitutes our real Being as part of our Soul or Divine Element of existence within the Cosmic Whole. It is not limited to, or restricted by, “time” and “space”, or by nature and quality of material things. All human beings, especially the mystical students, irrespective of development or stage of evolution, are constantly in contact and aware of “advice” from Inner Self as inner part of our natures from Infinite Divine Source. Whenever we receive communication from Inner Self, and we act upon received information, our life’s purpose, goals and direction are in accord with Divine Injunction; we attune better and easier as we listen to the Inner Self with major revelations about our life direction and purpose.
Importance of Action and Inaction
 But the Inner Self, as spiritual part of our nature, does not compel us to listen, or act or behave in any particular way toward the imparted Wisdom because we have freewill and option to choose or suppress the urge to employ this wonderful faculty as aid from Infinite Divine Source. If we obey the urges from our Inner Self, we work on aspects of our personality that need refinement, and we petition the Cosmic for inspiration to accomplish our respective goals. The Inner Self projects inspiration or clarification with regard to our goal, and points out what we need to change in our lives. When we fail to act upon received and insightful information, and we fail to rely on Inner Self injunction, and prefer to ignore the still, small subtle voice from within, we block away the received advices, inspirations and inner promptings; we procrastinate and moan that we do not achieve results from what we do; we drift away into our self-made unhappiness and into harder difficulties of life and living. If we continually fail to apply the insights that we receive, and rather create more ominous habits of not being receptive, in addition to constant procrastination, we begin to weaken our resolve to act, and so our will to act diminishes. When we are prewarned, and we refuse to act upon our information, we fail to forestall the coming disaster, and we lose the reward from experiencing great inspiration or flood of creativity.
 Our experience of Inner Self may be subtle, or very strong, and may be strengthened with meditation, attunement or metaphysical exercises at any time that occasion warrants, being especially best during our normal sanctum periods with easily accessed rapport towards the Inner Self. If we truly desire to grow and evolve, we cannot ignore the manifestation of received insights to minimize discord and frustration in our life; our Inner Self always helps us, and our Invisible Guardian is always there when life is at its bleakest to keep us going strong and safe.
Structured Guidance and Attunement
 Since Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, offers to us such system of study for fuller use of our inner, divine qualities, with carefully graded system of study, metaphysical and mystical exercises, development link between the outer, objective self and inner, subconscious aspects of our nature is the whole purpose of our Rosicrucian studies with structured periods of attunement to enable us establish rapport with the Inner Self. With ready access for infinite potential of our inner spiritual consciousness, and flow of energy therefrom, we have unique and indispensable Source of power and aid.
 Our contact with Inner Self always produces practical results as fruits of our attunement; in order to take advantage of our mystical contacts, we act upon our urgings or promptings that come from Inner Self. As we endeavor to improve our lives and perfect our personalities, our attunements provide us with insights into our own personality and character.
Trust In The Inner Self
 It is most important to trust in our Inner Self and let go our extreme worry in situations of our life. By realizing that life unfolds precisely as it should be, and by realizing that once we have done our best and tried our hardest, we receive additional help that we need at any time. In this trust, the Inner Self manifests when most needed, by letting go, and tapping into tremendous Source of power to confidently meet and overcome our situations in life.

Of God's Kingdom In the Domain of Self.
No one can place any kind of mathematical exactitude in terms of space placement to the sphere of the sole authority of God.

It is sometimes normal and / or equally not normal to describe or apotheosise God be beyond human form or be given humanlike form like the earthly kings dominating certain geographic spaces.
In man's attributes of extensive power to God the Yorubas in Nigeria, would revere His great expanse as "Olu Orun- Olorun" the Supreme Heavenly Being.
Similarly to this idealistic impression of God, the Yorubas worship "Olodumare" Oba a te rere Kari aye," as the Supreme Being whose kinship transverses the entire universe.

In all the world ancient traditions and cultures, the old and now empire building religions,such as Christianity and Islam, the two major foreign religions in this clime, their denominations, sects, and the different doctrines and dogmas they proclaim tend to extensively lead to questioning of who the true God is.

By the way whose God is the true God and in what Arena is His kingdom and domain?
" Who is God and where can He be found and truly worshipped? Think about it.

How God is to one and worshippers and where He should be worshipped equally remain as diverse as human religious persuasions and dogmas sometimes taken hook, line and sinker to such a warring nature.

In every world religion and tradition no matter how it is described as being archaic or slightly answering modern contextual questioning today, our one and only God is the Creator of every living being, everywhere.

According to a Muslim mystic, God created the creation so that He himself be known".
In a similar mood of the Almightiness of God, a Christian hymn goes like this as related in this excerpt:

1 O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!

2 When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze...."

The Rosicrucian students of various tradions and climes are united in the statement that is obvious to them that," The greatest employment of the mind of man is the study of the works of his Creator'.
Why this conviction and why so convincing to the Rosicrucian students?

Because in the preliminary instructions of the sages of old it is indicated that:
" All things proceed from God. His power is unbounded. His wisdom is for eternity and His goodness endureth forever..." Think about it.

If the aforementioned is truly the case, it should become more obvious to the Rosicrucian students that when on individual and collective basis we daily study, investigate and practically apply the natural and spiritual laws the realisation of the Kingdom of God shall be attained "Within the Domain of Self."

These are what are mystical studies entail for us all on individual basis to have, "A personal and intimate awareness of God within the Domain of Self".

Is it not a truism the Master Jesus injunction:
In Luke 17:20–21, Jesus says, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (NKJV)
This
context of Jesus’ statement is a question put to Him by His Pharisee detractors who had asked when the kingdom of God would come (verse 20).

For mystical students equally in various religious persuasions it is related in the Rosicrucian publication " Unto Thee I Grant"
the following highlights:
* Who is like unto God in glory? Who in power shall contend with the Almighty? Hath He any equal in wisdom? Can any in goodness be compared unto Him? There is none other before Him. Think about it.

* He it is, O man who hath created thee, thy present station on earth was fixed by His laws, the powers of thy mind are the gifts of His Goodness, the wonders of thy frame are the work of His hand, thy soul is His Soul: thy consciousness His consciousness. True or false?

* Hear then His voice for it is gracious:and he that obeyeth shall establish his mind in Peace Profound : and bring everlasting growth to the Soul that resideth within his body, state after state, on this earth.

With these numerous grace, providence and power emanating from the Kingdom of God in His omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient replicated into the various states of our individual self, there is no doubt that the Kingdom of God resides in the Domain of Self.

May the Greater Light which every Rosicrucian student daily seeks lead us all to Light, Life and Love.
So mote it be.
