If the truth be known, no one person wrote the Manifestoes. They were put into words by one person, and made public by a group. The Manifestoes are not the product of one individual, but, rather, the product of a movement to accomplish a mission derived from the hearts of those who attained a mystical consciousness and who necessarily recognized and took the responsibility to perpetuate the Work. When we remove ourselves from the limitations of individual personality in matters of Light and identify with a movement of an omnipotent nature, our mission becomes obvious. We simply know.
Mysticism is an essence.
Rosicrucianism is our path, or technique. Our tradition is our vehicle, consisting of all that we are and will become. We are not merely an organization that perpetuates culture and education. We are a traditional culture living in a contemporary society. We are a world society which knows no national boundaries and works in peace and harmony with all humanity.
