The Rosy-Cross Way

Beloved one, the story of your life is like a blossoming rose bud with each plot twist, character arc, and scene an unfolding petal that reveals the the beauty and fragrance of the fully blooming rose. Embrace the rose, even the thorns of its stem, for the thorns are a part of the rose, just as suffering and pain are a part of life.

But when you wake up to the reality of life, that it is just an illusion, just a story or game, you can laugh at the thorns that prick and the blood that flows, just as the first-century gnostics laughed at the initiation of the cross, the death of the nonself, that was part of the ancient Rosy-Cross mystery school, that I began in ancient Egypt* and continues even now with The Way of Awareness Now.

So, embrace the gnosis of the rose, revealing truths of your unfolding Christhood, and embrace the disappointments, pains, humiliations, and calumny of the thorns. For the laural rose crown of victory is also a crown of thorns.

With eternal love, Kuthumi

*Note: Kuthumi was embodied as the pharaoh Thutmose III. In 1489 B.C., Thutmose III founded a secret mystery school, which the Rosicrucians claim descent from. Laurence Gardiner, the foremost authority on secret societies, supports this claim by dating the use of the rosy-cross symbol to the time of Thutmose III. Members of this mystery school were called the Therapeutea – meaning “physicians of the soul.”
