Cathedral Contacts[From The Rosicrucian Digest February 1938]
| The
"Cathedral of the Soul" is a Cosmic meeting place for all minds of the
most advanced and highly developed spiritual members and workers of the
Rosicrucian Fraternity. It is a focal point of Cosmic radiations and
thought waves from which radiate vibrations of health, peace,
happiness, and inner awakening. Various periods of the day are set
aside when many thousands of minds are attuned with the Cathedral of
the Soul, and others attuning with the Cathedral at this time will
receive the benefit of the vibrations. Those who are not members of the
organization may share in the unusual benefits as well as those who are
members. The book called "Liber 777" describes the periods for various
contacts with the Cathedral. Copies will be sent to persons who are not
members if they address their requests for this book to Friar S. P. C.,
care of AMORC Temple, San Jose, California, enclosing three cents in
postage stamps. (Please state whether member or not--this is important.) |
JERUSALEM THE GOLDEN
IN OUR childhood days, in churches and in Sunday
Schools, many of us learned to sing a sweet old hymn that referred to Jerusalem as the Golden City.
We were taught to believe that Jerusalem in Palestine was an earthly
representation of the spiritual headquarters of the world, that it was the
center and power of all that was religiously grand, noble, and beautiful. Too
many individuals, however, pinned their faith in something that was an artificial
creation in their minds. They looked upon Jerusalem
in Palestine as
a place of spirituality and extreme piety, a place whose very vibrations
engulfed you and made you feel that you were living not on earth, but in the
very heart of a spiritual kingdom. Thousands of Western World tourists who have
visited that Jerusalem have found that it is
"Jerusalem
the Golden" in more than one sense, and too greatly so in a material
sense. During the past few months we have learned to our great sorrow that it
is not a place of spiritual peace and religious tranquility, but once more a
place of warfare and destruction, of bloodshed and horror, rather than the
things represented by the Prince of Peace in his earthly mission.
Many of the great cathedrals standing in Palestine
are not only silent in these days when they should be filled with spiritual
song and spiritual thought and spiritual words, but they are partly destroyed,
and when an echo does move from column to column and reecho down the nave of
such a structure, it is more often the sound of an exploding bullet or a scream
of terror.
But there is one cathedral which man can enter at any
time and find absolute peace and harmony, love and mercy, song and inspiring
words. That is the cathedral the soul enters in its meditations and in its holy
communion. Regardless of where the physical body may be taken in its earthly
form of worship, the soul within must find a Holy Sanctuary and must find the
divinity and spirituality which it needs for its attunement.
For this reason, the Cathedral of the Soul, created
in the minds of mystic philosophers and those who love to indulge in silent
meditation has become a very real and actual place for the soul's temporary
extensions beyond the earthly plane. It is a meeting place of all those who are
like-minded and who are seeking contact with God and the Heavenly Angels amid
the vibrations of peace and power. If you have not indulged in this sublime and
inspiring pleasure of entering the Cathedral of the Soul in the moments that
you are alone, send for our little booklet called Liber-777 and learn
how you may dwell in the Cathedral of the Soul for a few minutes at a time
whenever you feel so inclined, and no matter where you may be living or where
you may be situated. You will not only be inspired by this spiritual contact
but your health and strength of mind and will power will be improved, and you
will feel ennobled and purged and enriched in many ways.
There are no dogmas, no creeds or doctrines that restrict
or limit you in entering the Cathedral of the Soul, for you can go there freely
with your religious beliefs, understandings and interpretations, and find
others who agree with you and harmonize with you. You may enter freely, and
leave freely. You may stay as long as you please. It is the one universal
cathedral that welcomes everyone, and to enter it you comply with no
obligations that you cannot meet easily and willingly. The Cathedral of the
Soul has become a joy to millions and it will become your sacred dwelling place
in the hours or minutes of turmoil, unrest, weariness, ill health and
perplexity.
