"May our Rose blossom in the Garden of the Lord and our Light shine upon the Mystic Mountain"
“The Order is symbolized by the rose (the soul) and the cross (the body). The unfolding rose represents the human soul acquiring greater consciousness while living in a body on the material plane.”
“When the rose and the cross are united the alchemical marriage is complete and the drama ends. Then we wake from history and enter eternity.” ― Robert Anton Wilson
Meier described Rosicrucianism as having arisen from a "primordial tradition", saying "Our origins are Egyptian, Brahminic, derived from the mysteries of Eleusis and Samothrace, the Magi of Persia, the Pythagoreans, and the Arabs”
