n through the media of the cosmic. in other words, it becomes what is generally referred to as cosmic illumination, or cosmic consciousness, for at certain hours, days, or weeks of one's life one becomes conscious of some new and astounding knowledge, often with, and sometimes without, being aware of the presence or contact of the personal teacher. the student, who attains membership in the great white brotherhood, after due preparation and real worthiness, first discovers this by becoming conscious of having passed through a series of events constituting a true initiation. often these occur during the night, or while he is on periods of rest and meditation in the mountains or valleys, away from active worldly affairs. this consciousness is accompanied by an influx of divine apprehension a

vigor, restored functioning in organs and parts that were tired, depleted, or subnormal. cosmic consciousness this is followed by a sudden increase in the functioning of a sense which is mistakenly called intuition at the time, for it seems to be like the intuitive faculty that was being highly developed during the earlier stages of preparation leading up to the original initiation into the great white brotherhood. it is not intuition, however, but cosmic consciousness of events now occurring and decreed to occur in the near future. it is knowledge and not a prophetic impression. then follow guiding instructions and definite knowledge of laws and principles, acts, and actualities in accordance with the needs and desires of the member. from then on the member attends the earthly lodge as a

eace, we are also protective of our contact, our devotion, our active participation with others of the order. through our active participation our own membership comes to have for us deep meaning and significance that is indeed precious. for active members, the order's work comes to signify and represent an inner process unfolding within themselves. divine illumination the great goal of the great white brotherhood (see definition in rosicrucian dictionary) is ever before the vision of all sincere rosicrucians. the word "white" has no reference to race. it alludes to light. the sublime joy of cosmic consciousness, divine illumination, can be known only through experience; and those who have made the contact have written in hundreds of books in the past ages such alluring descriptions as wer

ines were preserved originally in tibet in the mountain fastnesses where such mystics and philosophers had taken refuge from the persecution to which they had been subject in other lands. most all such enlightened individuals had been affiliated with great mystical orders, such as the rosicrucians. consequently, the body of teachings, rites and rituals, not individuals, became known as the "great white brotherhood. the teachings were eventually disseminated gradually to organizations throughout the world whose principles and ideals were recognized to be of the same high quality as those of the sources of the "great white brotherhood. no individual can apply to become a member of the "great white brotherhood" as it is not a single organization but an archive of wisdom preserved by a collegi

the great teachers of mankind sought to instruct the people in matters of importance, inspired by the great white lodge which stands behind all religions alike. among these the egyptian mysteries were preeminent among the western peoples of the ancient world, not only because of their immemorial age, but because of the fact that egypt was one of the auxiliary centres of the white lodge. the great white brotherhood has its headquarters in central asia, but it has at various times and for various purposes maintained subsidiary lodges in different parts of the world. 104. the presence of this secret centre belonging to the white brotherhood had much to do with egypt s greatness throughout the ages; although the fact of its existence was not known to the outer world, that lodge of the true mys

christ as related in the gospels, which contain elements derived from the teachings of the egyptian mysteries. the disciple jesus was an initiate of the egyptian lodge, and therefore much of the egyptian symbolism was adopted by his followers, and was later woven into the gospel story. in the masters and the path i have given an account of certain of the ceremonies of initiation used in the great white brotherhood at the present day. the egyptian rituals were in some respects slightly different from these in form, although their essence was identically the same; for the egyptian lodge possessed the tradition handed down from the initiates of atlantis, which was somewhat modified in later days, to suit the needs of the slowly-evolving humanity of the aryan race. 189. the first three initiat
