This, simply, is the message of the Rosicrucians. The Rosicrucian lives his or her choices. Rather, they affiliate because they feel the drive within themselves to share and to become a part of an ancient movement dedicated to the free expression of Light. Subsequently, Rosicrucians freely choose to become Rosicrucians, not just because they believe that the Order will merely dictate or teach mystical or esoteric principles. Everything else is a matter of preferential choice. Your own confidence in your quest coupled with the dictates of your own conscience are the only fundamental tools required for success. You need never affiliate with any organization, religion, or to follow the leadership of any individual to know whatever it is you seek to know. If nothing else, it is our sincere wish that you learn to recognize the Truth inherent within your being and know that you need never look outside of yourself to discover the innate Truth within the wonders of God and the universe.
To those of you who are just now entering the stream of Rosicrucianism, our Work, our history, and our existence welcomes you upon your quest. We must ever be cognizant that what we accomplish as Rosicrucians today shall influence the successes (or failures) of our brothers and sisters in the future. This is as it has always been and should always be. We shall become a memory in history as shall our trials and successes. In time we, as a majority, shall diminish in number and be replaced by newer generations of Rosicrucians. The majority of you, at the time of this writing, are more than adequately familiar with the term Rosicrucianism and what it means to both yourself individually and humanity in general.
