Recovery: The Art of Paradigm Shifts

Rosicrucian Order, AMORC — Wed, 1 Jun 2011 11:00:00 -0500

This podcast features an article from the December 2010 Mithraic Mysteries issue of the Rosicrucian Digest. In the history of Mithraic scholarship, the paradigm of Mithras’s Persian origins taught by Franz Cumont, which is highly disputed today, was so firmly entrenched that it wasn’t until almost thirty years after his death that scholars began to openly reassess the evidence and present alternative conclusions. Paradigms can be very difficult to dislodge, as Denise Breton and Christopher Largent discuss in this introduction to their work on changing paradigms in life and society.

The Image of the Bull

Rosicrucian Order, AMORC — Sun, 1 May 2011 11:00:00 -0500

This podcast features an article from the December 2010 Mithraic Mysteries issue of the Rosicrucian Digest. It is well known that the image of the bull is prominent in the Mithraic Mysteries. However, the actual role of this image is widely misunderstood, and even inverted in the popular imagination, encouraged by decades of confused pedagogy. In order to gain a wider perspective, it will be useful to survey several aspects of the image of the bull in ancient myths and spiritualities, before we return to clarify his place in the Mithraic Mysteries.

This podcast features an article from the December 2010 Mithraic Mysteries issue of the Rosicrucian Digest. Who was Mithras and what are the Mithraic Mysteries?

The author provides an overview and introduction to the Mithraic Mysteries.

In each historical context the Veil is an invitation to delve further into the truths which have been hidden in plain sight from the eyes of those who will not see.

The Neo-Pythagoreans in Rome

Rosicrucian Order, AMORC — Tue, 1 Sep 2009 11:00:00 -0500

In the early twentieth century Roman crews were excavating for a new railway station when they came across a small vaulted basilica, about fifty feet underground. Notwithstanding its diminutive size (thirty by thirty-six feet), the find was extraordinary. Built sometime between the first century BCE and the first century CE, its walls are adorned with stucco bas-reliefs depicting mythological and mystery school themes, including those connected with the Neopythagoreans. It appears to have been a meeting place and perhaps an initiatory chamber for these Mysteries. This podcast introduces listeners to the significance of this archaeological record of the Pythagorean Tradition. The reader is Juanita Ortiz.

Pythagoras and Music

Rosicrucian Order, AMORC — Wed, 1 Jul 2009 11:00:00 -0500

The musician draws the bow across the violin string and immediately the inert atmosphere becomes vibrant and transparent, "...as if sound from nonspatial realms shines through a window into the world of space.". What is being demonstrated is a phenomenon known as the overtone series, in which any tone, played or sung, activates a column of mathematically-related notes which vibrate sympathetically with the sounded pitch and create resonance. Octaves throughout the universe respond, in a modern,scientific "music of the spheres", echoing the hypothesis that dates back to ancient times and the School of Pythagoras.

Wisdom From The Seven Sages

Rosicrucian Order, AMORC — Sun, 1 Feb 2009 00:01:00 -0800

Ancient Greek legend has it that in the sixth century BCE, there were seven sages in Greece who served the God Apollo. According to the ancient tales, at least three of their best known sayings were inscribed at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, together with the enigmatic and still unexplained great letter E. Several other cultures, including India and China, also had stories of seven mythic sages, suggesting a universal and archetypal quality to these philosophers and their sayings. This podcast offers examples of wisdom from these sages, and an opportunity to meditate on each.

The great mystics of all times and all places have meditated deeply on the Gnosis of the Heart. In many languages there are two kinds of knowledge: to know "about" something, or to "know" something. Gnosis is experiential, personal knowledge of a person, place, event or truth. When Gnosis is coupled with Love, it follows the unitive path, uniting the lover and the beloved. This Podcast explores the Journey which results when one sets out on the Quest for the Gnosis of the Heart, and invites the listeners to participate in this Quest.

Dr. Jasmine Day was born in 1972 in Perth, Australia, and received her PhD in Cultural Anthropology from The University of Western Australia in 2002. A book based on her thesis, The Mummy's Curse: Mummymania in the English-speaking World, was published by Routledge in August 2006. She combines a general knowledge of Egyptology (especially funerary customs and mummification) with an anthropological perspective on both the culture of ancient Egypt and modern cultures' understandings of ancient Egypt (i.e. Egyptomania). She specializes in the study of Mummymania, the Western fascination with, and representations of, Egyptian mummies. She visited the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum on July 31, 2007, and we were fortunate enough to have some time for a conversation on her favorite subjects!

Liber 888

techadmin@rosicrucian.org (Rosicrucian Order, AMORC) — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 17:18:53 -0500

This podcast is a reading of the booklet Liber 888 and the Council of Solace, read by Lonnie Edwards, M.D.

The Council of Solace is a group of Rosicrucians and others (at Rosicrucian Park and throughout the world) who meditate daily on behalf of others. The goal of the Council is to bring cosmic help to all those in need of it. The Council does this by putting certain spiritual energies into motion and directing them in accordance with mystical law and natural principles. Metaphysical aid is thus directed to individuals who petition the Council of Solace with health, domestic, economic, or other problems, and aid is also directed to those who are attuned with the Council.

Harmony

techadmin@rosicrucian.org (Rosicrucian Order, AMORC) — Fri, 1 Sep 2006 13:38:08 -0600

Harmony is often emphasized in esoteric circles as a goal of the seeker on the mystical path. By achieving harmony within, the mystic accomplishes a fusion with the divine essence and transcends the purely physical appetites, aspirations, and limitations of corporeal existence. In this podcast , we examine what harmony is, using references to familiar forms of harmony from music, the arts, and the sciences. We then examine the effect harmony has on its surroundings to discern whether harmony is the actual goal or, more precisely, a tool for effecting beneficial change. Finally, by drawing parallels between musical and mystical harmony, we explore some of the direct and indirect uses of mystical harmony in today's society.
This podcast is written and narrated by Dr. Richard Schultz.

This is part two of Steven Armstrong's Mystic Symbolism podcast recording. Symbolism can be defined as the investing of outward things or actions with an inner meaning, most often for the expression of religious or mystical ideas. Symbolism has a far greater presence in history and even contemporary culture than most realize. More than an ancient, esoteric discipline, it really serves as the centerpiece for an entirely new modern philosophy and understanding of the world. We hear from Steven Armstrong, Ph.D. (cand.), Research Librarian at Rosicrucian Park on this fascinating subject (part two of two).
