Five aspects that make the Rosicrucian teachings unique.

Five aspects of the Rosicrucian approach set it completely apart from other organizations.

Harmonious, balanced development
It is important to recognize that the Rosicrucian studies do not focus on one human function to the exclusion of others because this would be an unbalanced approach. The Rosicrucian approach develops our functions harmoniously and at a pace that produces the best results long term. The studies offer a balanced, safe approach to psychic and mystical development.

A school of instruction
Self-knowledge needs to be taught and practiced. One can only go so far by reading books; to acquire a skill, one must practice. The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, is a true mystical school of instruction that is directly linked to an ancient tradition, but has been continually improved and modernized over the centuries right up to the present day. It offers not just ideas, but exercises and techniques that support the development of self-control and mastery. With this approach, students experience a great degree of success in reaching their spiritual objectives.

Convenience
The lessons are mailed regularly and the minimum requirement is an hour a week to study the monographs. This method is geared for the modern mystic—in other words, all of us who are required to live and participate in society. The Rosicrucian studies do not require an ascetic retirement from life. The student does not have to travel to some faraway place, climb a mountaintop, find the right cave, or endure any hardships. Nor is the “non-joiner” required to participate in group activities. If desired, one can limit their study to the privacy of one’s own home.

Freedom of thought
The Rosicrucian studies are not a personality cult or a religion. They are not bound by an inflexible creed or dogma. Students are encouraged to be walking question marks. Men and women members have always been treated as equals.

No hypocrisy in regard to the financial obligations of students
Students’ dues are nominal to cover administration expenses. The Rosicrucian studies are extended freely to every active student. There are equal dues for all students, and all students are treated alike.
