A student asked: Why Do Rosicrucians Meditate on Roses?
The Teacher thought for a moment and said: It is a Secret, but I will tell you....
Everyone is on a Journey to Find Cosmic Love. But how? The secret is in your blood, which you cannot see; unless that is you meditate. A teacher knows this, and will personally give this secret to his student. Here is the meditation, and I will share it with you. Do not share it with anyone unless you know they are ready, or it will harm them.
Roses outside are your suffering soul
transformed in Nature into Rose flowers!
We
teach you to meditate on Roses so that its color fills your soul. With it, when the time for your transformation is near, you feel a wind within, and see Red light. The 1st stage is Golden light, but you must persist past the golden light until you see seven red rose flowers. First you will see only one, and keep trying, until the second, then comes the 3rd. Then four roses appear. They will group into three and four, but not together until you learn to put the three above and four below. Once you master that, then put the four above and three below.
But Teacher, said the student, my Roses burn and melt away....? What shall I do?
The Teacher said,
Your heart is mixed with doubt and suspicion and that destroys the faith of your heart.
We do not doubt it, we know it will come; we believe in the meditation until we SEE and experience it; then we no longer believe; we know!
Next my beloved student add green leaves and thorn grown from a fire that forms where the roses sit and will not burn them.
Grow your flowers only in the purest ingredients of the heart.
