Cathedral Contacts[From The Rosicrucian Digest November 1932]
| 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 this unusual benefit 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 by addressing their request for this book to librarian 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.) |
THERE have been many comments coming to us in regard
to the statements made in this Department of our magazine last month and if any
of you have failed to read the Cathedral Department in the October issue you
should go back to it and read it very carefully, for the average letter we have
received says that it does more to help members understand the Cathedral of the
Soul and the contacts than anything we have published since the original
pamphlet called Liber 777.
We know from the correspondence that thousands of
members each day are making contacts and deriving benefit from these contacts
with the Cathedral. Each week the letters indicate that more and more members
are succeeding in making these contacts and that more and more unusual results
are being obtained. Sometimes the letters are from far distant points in
foreign lands and at other times they are from members nearby. Often in serious
emergencies, when other help cannot be secured, our members turn in their
anxiety and perplexity to the Cathedral and find there a reaction that they
never expected to find but nevertheless hoped to find.
We trust that all of our members will remember the
Tuesday night special meeting that is held in the Supreme Temple
by the highest officers and members, especially for the purpose of contacting
our members in their homes and sanctums. Remember that the time of this special
meeting here in the Temple,
with sacred music and spiritual meditation is from 7:45 to 9:00 o'clock,
Pacific Standard Time. Wherever you may be at this period on Tuesday evenings
of each week, sit down quietly and send your thoughts and your inner self in
communion to this Temple as the members send out their thoughts to you, and you
will find a soothing, spiritual effect that is more beneficial to you mentally
and physically than anything outside of the deeper contacts with the Cathedral
of the Soul. Those who are non-members are also invited to take advantage of
these helpful periods of Cathedral contacts.
Our members are especially urged to take many of
their mental and physical troubles to the Cathedral of the Soul for help. In so
many letters that we receive from members asking us to correct some temporary
physical condition that annoys them, we plainly see where such members could
have gotten quicker relief by taking the problem to the Cathedral at one of the
regular contact periods. Learn to attune yourself in this way and learn to help
yourself rather than depending upon others. This is what we are aiming to do
with all of our teachings and all of our exercises. While we are perfectly
willing to do our part, we do not want our members to feel that we are
operating a great national clinic or institution of healing where they can
always write or telegraph to us for immediate help in every little ailment,
when they could learn to do these things themselves and do it just as well and
more quickly and with greater satisfaction. How are you going to learn to do
the great work of helping others if you do not help yourself? If all of our
members relied upon our help here at headquarters and this continued throughout
the years with a constantly growing membership what would become of all the
other great work we are doing? We realize that in emergencies and in very
serious cases it is important to get in touch with us and we are thoroughly
happy in doing our utmost in such cases, but, nevertheless, we still want to
instruct and help our members to help themselves for therein lies the great aim
and purpose of the organization.
Expectant Mothers
Undoubtedly one of the greatest helps that we can
give to women is that which is rendered to expectant mothers. In over ten years
of regular practice of the Rosicrucian methods of helping such women at the
crucial time of child birth, we have not had a single serious mishap nor an
unpleasant report. In fact, hundreds and hundreds have reported, stating that
the event was the most satisfactory, the most surprisingly short and
comfortable that could be imagined. This special service is offered freely to
every one of our members or to members of their immediate family. All that is
necessary is that as the crucial moment approaches and there is every indication
that the event is about to take place a telegram should be sent to AMORC
Welfare Department, AMORC Temple, San Jose, California, stating, "I
believe I am now ready for the help that you can give." This should be
signed by the member, if it is a member. If the telegram is for someone else,
then the telegram should read, "Mrs. So-and-So is now ready for the help
that you can give," and then sign the member's name who is asking for our
service. No other information need be put in the telegram for these "Red
Letter" telegrams, as we call them, are thoroughly understood by our
telegraph clerks here and by every officer of the various departments and they
are given prior consideration when they arrive here regardless of the time of
day or night. Such a telegram should be followed within a week by a report from
the member stating when the child was born and other details and giving us the
name of the child if it has been decided upon. There are no fees or obligations
of any kind connected with this special service and every expectant mother can
depend upon having an unusually successful and fortunate experience at this
critical time. By telling young mothers, especially, about this service you can
relieve them of a great deal of their anxiety and therefore help to have a
cheerful attitude of mind at a time when it is most needed.
Our interest in these children does not stop at this
point for we write to the mothers and give them much helpful advice regarding
their own care and the care of the infant, and there are many things that we
can do in helping mothers in regard to the problem of feeding, nursing, and
caring for the infant child. If any mother in our organization is having such
infantile problems, especially in regard to the matter of diet during the nursing
period, nothing should be done in the way of substitution of food or changes in
diet without writing to us and getting our suggestions. There is no fee or
obligation for this service. All in all we want to make the Cathedral
Department and the Welfare Department two wonderful institutions of helpfulness
and with your cooperation we can do so.
