Nikolaos Papadakis is the Grand Master of the Greek Grand Lodge of AMORC and the TMO. Frater Papadakis has served the Greek Grand Lodge for many years and in several ways, an experience he feels has enriched his life more than ever.

Frater Papadakis was born on February 23, 1942, in Attica, Greece. Frater Papadakis became an active member of the Order in 1982; however he will always consider himself as a Neophyte because, according to him: “We shall be forever the Seekers of the Inner Gnosis.” His favorite subjects include history (especially that of ancient Greece), philosophy (such as Socrates and Plato), and poetry (the Orphic Poems being at the top of the list).

Frater Papadakis, an adept of positive thinking, most appreciates spending time with his family, his companion soror Anna, and his friends, in the wilderness of nature and in the deep blue Aegean Sea as he considers the vibrations of these places to echo the reflection of the beauty, the creation, and the incarnated love of the eternal Cosmic Wisdom.

Discourse
Mother Earth is feeling sore for her bleeding children. The majority of the population lives under dire conditions both on the material and spiritual plane. Moreover, all types of guerilla-led wars are the twenty-first century’s new dark heritage. That kind of warfare originates from a total lack of tolerance and brotherhood between human beings.

The Rosicrucian of the twenty-first century is a spiritual alchemist. He exerts his efforts to develop into a better spiritual being. The Rosicrucian recognizes the difference between knowledge and self-awareness. The Rosicrucian has the ability to distinguish between the inner and outer self, while simultaneously balancing in harmony between both states.

Change can spring from inner and personal effort. And when all those spiritual beings will have evolved into self-realization, then our civilization will enjoy Peace. Change yourself and you will change the whole Universe so that you may offer the summum bonum to humanity.

In antiquity, during the Olympic Games, all kinds of war and warfare ceased. The Olympiad was the symbol of fraternity, and any breach against this treaty was considered an aggression against the Gods. Yesterday has a lot to teach us in the domain of the Heart.

When humanity comprehends the mystical relationship between inner peace and international truce, then it will have taken a huge step towards Universal Life. When our souls vibrate in unison to the Universal Soul, then the nations of the world will stop dealing through weapons and will only negotiate towards evolution. As for us Rosicrucians, we carry the mystical and ethical obligation to forward this mission.
