This is Chapter 1, from the book, Freemasonry and Catholicism by Max Heindel of the Rosicrucian Fellowship
The Rosicrucian Fellowship aims to educate and construct, to be charitable even to those from whom we differ, and never to vent the venom of vituperation, spite, or malice even upon those who seem deliberately determined to mislead. We revere the Catholic religion; it is as divine in its essence, as Mystic Masonry—both are rooted in hoary antiquity, both were born to further the aspiration of the striving soul, and both have a message and a mission in the world not apparent upon the surface today, because man-made ceremonial as a scale has hidden the kernel of divinity in each.
It is the object of the present articles to remove that scale and show the Cosmic purpose of these two Great Organizations, which are so bitterly antagonistic to each other. We do not aim to reconcile them, however, for though they are both designed to further the emancipation of the soul, their methods are different, and the attributes of the soul fostered by one method will indeed be very different from the quality of the soul nurtured in the other School. Therefore the strife must continue until the battle for the souls of men has been lost and won. (more…)

Manly P Hall – “This tree is indeed a Tree of Life, for without the higher and finer sentiments man does not live; he merely exists.
If any branch of that tree does not bear fruit, the Master tells us that it shall be cut off and cast into the fire.
It is the duty of all living things to produce some truly constructive labor as recognition of the divine life which is within them.
God is most glorified when His children glorify His spirit within themselves.”

“Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure
of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates ”— The Kybalion
This Principle embodies the truth that in everything there is manifested a measured motion, to and fro; a flow and inflow; a swing backward and forward; a pendulum-like movement; a tide-like ebb and flow; a high-tide and low-tide; between the two poles which exist in accordance with the Principle of Polarity described a moment ago.
There is always an action and a reaction; an advance and a retreat; a rising and a sinking. This is in the affairs of the Universe, suns, worlds, men, animals, mind, energy, and matter. This law is manifest in the creation and destruction of worlds; in the rise and fall of nations; in the life of all things; and finally in the mental states of Man (and it is with this latter that the Hermetists find the understanding of the Principle most important).

This past week Pope Francis had warned the Italian Church, and Roman Curia about “two temptations.” Then looking up
from his script, he drew much laughter when he said, “I say two, not fifteen as I told the (Roman) Curia!”
These two temptations were not in relation to resisting sin, or the devil, but he instead focused upon the teachings of Pelagianism and Gnosticism.
Pelagianism was founded upon the teachings of the Scottish/Irish monk Pelagius (354–420 or 440). Pelagius taught that moral perfection and salvation was attainable in this life without the assistance of divine grace through human free will. In simple terms, we humans are good or bad based on our own free will based actions.
Gnosticism in its purest form is the intuitive spiritual knowledge that comes with knowing thyself and thyspirit. The word Gnosis is a Greek word for knowledge which usually refers to any type of direct communion with the divine. (more…)
