Freemasons and Rosicrucian's

"What we foreshadow is not in vain for of La Rosie Crosse we are Brothers:
We have the Word Mason and the Second Vision of future things we make just Prediction.''
(Henri Adamsom of Perth, 1638)
We must urgently return to the original purpose of the flowery path of the Rose and Cross; Philosophy of the true initiatory path. Divine madness!
The Great Geometer and Architect with the tip of the cosmic compass "touches the heart" of the apprentice-initiate.
Man human archetype of the universe and son of the macrocosm as lapis or 'brute stone' to polish as microcosm and measure of the cosmos. Let's look at the rose:
On January 31, 1580, the RED Moon of the eclipse of 1580 appears.
At the court of Prague, in the center of Bohemia, the official astronomer of the court was Tadeas Hajek, carefully observed the phenomenon of 1572 of the supernova, which gradually mitigated its luminous splendor until 1574.
Her NAME=THE ROSE!
Undoubtedly, the supernova brought with it serious problems for the immovable medieval Aristotelian worldview of: "Fixed Sky".
''Sapiens dominatur astris=The Wise Man dominates the Stars=''The Wise Man will be Master of the Stars''
In reality, the Masonic or Freemasonic Order is part of a chosen society that transmits ancestral teachings in a "secret-esoteric" way in ceremonies and symbols - "allegories and symbols" - of a constructive and Templar nature.
Since the Middle Ages and even earlier, they broadcast the Golden Chain in the Monastic Ördenes and Guildes builders of Romanesque and "Gothic" cathedrals and abbeys or parishes.
"In France, between 1050 and 1350, eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches and many more parishes were built". (1)
There is evidence of Rules and Constitutions of French Freemasons since 1268. It is known from a Minute of the Grand Lodge of Edinburgh dated July 31, 1599.
(Ridley, 2004)
Therefore, the Masonic tradition receives direct influences from Hermetic, Neoplatonic and Kabbalist ideological currents.
Chen to pan=''One the All'' =The One the All. (2)
Documentary evidence of the Masonic Order traces and connects with medieval manuscripts the Regius= (1390) and Ancient ''Gothic' Regulations and Constitutions.
(from 1390 to 1850 in 113 documentary versions)
We must not confuse the dates of the establishment of Grand Lodges of modern Freemasonry (1717) with the documentary trajectory and historical evidence of medieval Freemasonry and its esoteric and constructive currents.
The Rosicrucians, meanwhile, 'reappear' in the 17th century.
By 1610 it is known of certain airs of universal reform of the world of the German Rosicrucians inspired by Paracelsus, Jacob Bohme, Ramon Lull, Arnaldo Villanova and others.
Let us remember that the seventeenth century was a time of transition and reform of ideas linked to the renewal of an esoteric spiritual vision that comes from medieval sources and resurfaces with the Rosicrucian movements of the early seventeenth century.
(Doctrines set forth in pamphlets and epistolary documents of airs of General Reformation)
Rosicrucian Freemason Dr. Robert Fludd defended the ideological positions of the Rosicrucians from 1616=The Reputation of the Brotherhood. (3)
''The Rosicrucian legend was born in the early 17th century in the uneasy period before religious tensions in Central Europe erupted into the Thirty Year's War''. (4)
After the publication of the Manifestos from 1614 to 1615, German Rosicrucians go to England and merge their ideas with English Freemasons and philosophers such as Dr. Robert Fludd and Dr. Michael Maier.
(Dr. Fludd writes 2 Pamphlets in his Rosicrucian Defense and the Famous: The Reputation of the Brotherhood=The Reputation of the Brotherhood in 1616) (4)
Crucially, it is that basic principles of Tradition in the Order from 'generation to generation' contain the meaning of the stone-flower crafting between elements of high Kabbalah and the whole body of meanings and analogies temple-cosmos and Homo alchymicus.
Medievalteaching ofthe lapidary master builders belonging some of them to Brotherhoods and Guilds operative and speculative at the same time. Rules assimilated from itinerant builders-monks who knew the geometric-astrological science of the cosmos and tradition of Hermes and Euclid.
Alchemist knights of the Golden Stone and followers of the winged bird = Thoth-Hermes-Mercury. (5)
'The history of the Office developed in the Cooke is a typical piece of monastic scholarship of the time.' (6)
As it is representative of geometric teachings expressed in the polished stone and Man-Geometry of the Macrocosm and the prefiguration of the temple microcosm.
We can say that it is the combination of ideas inherited from science-religion and the occult.
Tobias Hess provides the 'group of seekers of the Rose' with the Kabbalah infrastructure and Paracelsic ideas of high spiritual-alchemical content.
''Our philosophy is nothing new''
(Rosicrucian Manifesto)
However, the Rose+Cross and its fragments or ancestral flourishes go much further back in historical and documentary evidence of recognized or called 'historical brothers' Rose-Crosses of the Rose-Cross of Kassel-Hesse (1614).
They themselves recognized it!
Consequently the Wisdom of the Rose was not imported to Europe by the faithful and Christian Knights of the Cross = Crusaders at the dawn of the twelfth century (12).
In many respects the symbols of the Rose embody nature and cosmos in clear manifestation and transmission of the ancient knowledge of the great wonder of the macrocosm, and a new and recurring doctrine of the filius macrocosmi.
Undoubtedly, it is the tradition of knowledge and ancestral knowledge of the Sancta Theophrastica = Paracelsian spirituality.
There was already the rigorous and effective transmission of the Golden Chain, exhibited by Master Builders since before the Cluni, the Cistercian or ogival Art.
They are ancient complex and geometric floral forms that manage to manifest themselves previously among the Benedictine Orders and in Montecasino.
''These ideas were not new with Plato nor did die with him''...''It was part of the Golden Chain of Knowledge, ultimately secured from the highest realms of the universe, from the gods and the One itself.''
(John F. Finamore)
His principles and teachings were later assimilated by Mester de juglaría and by the wisest Mester de Clerecía.
The poetic tradition of the Roman de La Rose, which the knight of the rose bush Guillaume de Lorris, sings in flowery verses.
(1225-1240, Part One)
It is also a living example of manifest continuity of knowledge.
It is here that they 'hide' and cover up the fundamental principles of severe and flowery moral ethics.
Love, generosity, education, courtesy, discretion, devotion, patience... are some of the 'characters' that embody the Florido Romance.
(Jean de Meung vate French, second part of the Roman de la Rose (1275-1280).
Now these currents reach the circle of Prague and the master builder of the square and the compass.
(Rejt; sign or mark in Prague Castle)
Benedikt Rejt (1453-1534) already in his career received from building forms of the Basilica of St. George and the Basilical of St. Vitus in Prague Castle (860) moves with the "geometric flowery forms" of Vladislav Hall.
Giuseppe Arcimboldo and the brilliant master of the flower Albrech Dürer (both of the Prague circle), delight in harmonic light as they did the inquisitive and very fine spirit of the masterful and misunderstood Rudolf II.
These Divine symbols are manifested in primeval-geometric forms of nature and geometric shapes in flowers, trees, stones and crystals.
The Divine Golden Ratio is the clear manifestation of the primordial Monad originating from the stellar Cosmos, deposited and anchored deeply in the same model of the body of man = golden rectangle-pentagon = Filius microcosmi.
For this reason, the Flowery Masters could skillfully come and draw directly on the harmony of the cosmos.
The True Masters of the Arcane Geometry of the Rose are beautiful flowery lineage of the splendid Golden Chain.
"What we foretell is not in vain because of the Rosie Crosse we are brothers: We have the Plabra Mason and the Second Visiín., of future things we make just prediction"
(Henri Adamson of Perth, Edinburgh, 1638)
Light links, without interruption have guarded and protected for many centuries similar to lighthouses carriers and custodians of the seed Genetic code of the queen bee: Dat Rosa Mel Apibus = The honey rose of bees.
(Joachin Frizius, Summum Bonum)
They guard and jealously guard venerable and ancient traditions of tradition of Prisca theologia and of the knowledge of ancient and ancestral traditional architectural arithmophy.
This geometric and initiatory wisdom has arisen and resurfaced among constant bendings and currents that come and go—they become internal and external—in unchanged and unalterable forms through centuries.
But it is not only that, this legacy would be the numbers and ancient arithmosophy-pansophy-arithmology of sublime simple and formal geometric forms.
Divine Tetractys or Simple Cornerstone.
They already constitute in themselves the floral cosmic pattern immersed between the geometric forms of the infinite universe of harmonic realities of the metaphysical arithmetic number.
Like the concrete totality of simple geometric shapes = the cube, the circle, triangle and square possessed in themselves the potential to guarantee the harmony and sound of the spheres-music-property-organic.
And, in the background cyclic inhabitant and tonal-vibratile resident between the earthly worlds as celestial.
(geometric-mathematical-zodiacal system)
The Atalanta Fugiens (Oppenheim, 1618) said: "He who wants to go to the rose garden philosophically without having the key does as the man who wants to walk without feet".
For the 'Fame Fraternitatis' the subject: 'In vain: Our building, must remain inaccessible to the ungodly world'.
T.Schweighart, Speculum sophicum Rhodostauricum, 1604.
As we have seen, at the beginning of the seventeenth century (1604-1606) the masters of the Rose carefully observed the sky.
The constellation of Serpentarium (1604) and Cignus were the subject of extensive discussions on astronomical matters at intellectual levels.
Johann Keppler, had already announced it in:De Stella Nova in pede Serpentario' (1606).
Something strange was happening in the sky... that the Masters of the Rose noticed and observed in study and rigorous observation of the Constellation of the Cygnus (Swan-1602) and Serpent Carrier in 1604.
Curiously, Dr. Daniel Moegling was in those circles where he could study astronomy, painting, fields and documentary treatises of knowledge.
(Physician at the court of Landgrave Philipp von Hessen)
He knew from his own experience that the Order had particular characteristics as an Invisible Order.
His precept: 'The Abode of the Rose Cross is not a place, but it is everywhere.'
He proved that zodiacal celestial circles = music of the spheres, manage to produce certain cyclical impacts on the 'roads' or paths of the planet that go in a Single String = A 'Monochordum Mundi' coming from the Sun = 1 of the Tetractys and Tabernacle of God-Psalm 63: 7. (7)
We are currently in some musical octave of that Solar instrument!
There you 'go up and down' with harmonic and inharmonious tones, pauses and setbacks. (8)
Music-geometry-mathematics are the same thing: intervals, scales and tonalities prove it.
The True Flowery Master is discovered by the Pure Heart and Upright Life.
His mirror is Wisdom!
The Rose is alchemical, symbol of the gardens of the rosary -Rosarium- river of roses of the SACRED MANTLE.
The treaties are known as Rosales!
Magic-Kabbalah-Alchemy essential components.
For the Rose to germinate and its petals to sprout in the heart it is necessary to receive the heavenly help in 'Labora y Ora' of sweetness of the look, pleasant thought and the Sweet Word of musical poetry or Geometry and cadence of the celestial tone.
Dew of Heaven!
There are hidden enemies that stalk the True Knight of the Rose.
In the flowery field are hidden thorns of danger, shame and fear.
They are the fearsome thorns of ignorance-ambition-hypocrisy, which with Flaming Sword and Pentalfa or five-pointed star-Pythagorean we must fight and overcome.
The Golden Flower is deposited in intrinsic quarries of our internal raw stone.
That's why we sit on it and still don't understand it.
The Chinese flowering masters clarify by stating that the Golden Flower and Golden Flowering resides in the jade stone or lapis philosophorum.
'The Golden Flower opens in the Purple Hall of the Jade City'.
The golden flower is Light, and the Light is TAO!
The artistic tradition of the rose is widely manifested among multiple styles that maintain geometric principles, but respect the particular style and artistic personality of the other.
Skilled master builders, painters and craftsmen with their stamp, unique and distinctive brand.
They keep the key of the temple that for millennia has been hermetically guarded in the various initiatory and mystery orders.
Geometric-mathematical-musical wisdom is deposited in the initiatory germ of the Divine and Solar Orphic mysteries.
(The Apollonian Lyre that Hermes ceded to the solar Apollo).
The sacred art of rose forms contains rich inherent, immanent and transcendent symbolism that comes to multiply in rich meanings and gradual geometric shapes of high significant complexity.
The sacred tradition of the Knights of the Pelican is based on the structural models of celestial geometry that are transmitted by the masters in workshops, guilds, lodges and brotherhoods of artisans and painters.
The arts and crafts have for the master-apprentice relationship a sense of a powerful sacred message.
These Divine symbols are manifested in primeval-geometric forms of nature and in geometric forms in flowers, trees, stones and crystals.
The Divine Golden Ratio is a manifestation of the primordial Monad originating from the stellar Cosmos deposited and anchored deeply in the same model of the body of man = golden rectangle-pentagon.
Filius microcosmi.
For this reason, the Flowery Masters could skillfully come and draw directly on the harmony of the cosmos.
The True Masters of the Arcane Geometry of the Rose are beautiful flowery lineage of the splendid Golden Chain. Charity, Piety, Anonymity and Secrecy in the Flower and Cross...
''The Son of Man must ascend from Earth into Heaven and ascend on the CROSS of the still... the STONE must be enclosed in a Vessel like Christ in the tomb".
(Maestro Florido Arnau de Vilanova, The Book of Light)
