Rosicrucians in Fort Worth Open Meeting Discussion
Thursday January 15th at 7:30 PM

Solering Atrium would like to invite all non-members well as Rosicrucian Order members to our in person Open Meeting and Discussion.

The Spirit of God
by Dr. H. Spencer Lewis, F. R. C

Occasionally in AMORC mail comes the question: “Why do you attempt to make a distinction between spirit and soul in the teachings when the most universal impression or understanding is that spirit and soul are the same? Your use of the term spirit to signify a universal essence existing in all matter and not solely in the human being seems to rob spirit of its holiness, and to make it less divine than the holy spirit in the Bible.”
We realize that the Rosicrucian teachings were the first, in America at least, to promulgate generally the idea that spirit, as used in the sacred teachings of the Master mystics of the past, signified a universal essence radiating from the Divine source of all creative energies and powers, permeating all matter and giving it vitality. How well we remember the first classes of the Rosicrucian work held in New York many years ago, when this unique use of the word spirit was first presented. Many questioned its use at the time, and long and interesting were the discussions which followed!
I think I am safe in saying that the Rosicrucian literature of the present cycle in America was the first literature of a metaphysical or ontological nature using the term spirit in the sense in which the Rosicrucians use it. In the past ten years quite a number of other philosophical movements, as well as regions, have come to use the word in the same sense; and even many of the prominent clergymen of the country make a distinction between spirit and soul. However, as I have said, many of our new members and some of the old ones still ask the question given above, and are undoubtedly puzzled by our use of the word spirit.

Doors open at 7:00 pm.

The Presentation and Discussion will be from 7:30pm - 9:00pm
