Truth Not Well-Received

"There is a time during the developmental phases of the young brother or sister of the Rosycross, when they think that the world will welcome this announcement with great enthusiasm. They are naive enough to assume that just as they were allowed to immerse themselves for the first time in the Living Water of the Universal Knowledge, so others will follow their Awakening Call with great gladness. Then they learn to understand the truth of the words of the Fama Fraternitatis:
