The Spiritual School - Lectorium Rosicrucianum

Where to begin?

All seekers travel in the same direction via different roads. The events and circumstances that have led you to your current stage of seeking will not be the same as the person next to you. However, that which is being sought is the same for all of us.

We may not be aware that we are in pursuit of the same objective, but we are. Unfortunately, during the pursuit, we will find that we have to, as they say, "kiss a lot of frogs" along the way before we find our Prince or Princess.

Religion. Cabala. Theosophy. Occultism. Mysticism. Eastern exercises. Yoga. Rosicrucianism...

...ah, yes. Rosicrucianism.

There are scores of western groups that claim to be "rosicrucian". Most of them are either frauds, in error, or have crystallized in their teachings. Beware, for not all ships fly the same flag, nor do they carry the same cargo. The Order of the Rosycross was founded in 14th century Europe. It did not 'invent' any new teachings, it carried forth the flame of the Universal Doctrine that is as old as this universe. Those who had watched over the flame prior to that time, the Cathars of southern France, had been persecuted nearly to extinction by the Popes of the medieval Roman church.

From age to age, the Flame, the Torch, is passed. The Universal Wisdom remains the same. It is only the caretakers, the messengers, who change.

For the age that we live in, those caretakers can be found in the International School of the Golden Rosycross. The School goes by the official name of Lectorium Rosicrucianum (LRC). The organization was co-founded in 1924 by Jan van Rijckenborgh. As the name suggests, it is an international group, active in 36 countries. The philosophy of the School is that of gnostic Rosicrucianism. To find out if there is a center near you go to:

For background on the origin and history of LRC: Grail, Cathar and Rosycross. It is a good idea to read the whole segment.

Don't take my word or anyone else's word for anything. Always investigate for yourself. Do your own research. Check for resonance. Listen to your inner voice.

Seeking is a progression of revelations. We move from one revelation to the next, retaining some, discarding others. Today you have reached a new stage in your seeking, a fork in the road, if you will. How to proceed from this point is a decision that only you can make.
