Analysis of Section Initiate Degree 7 Monograph 5
(Defending AMORC against Pierre S. Freeman Critics)

In light of these teachings the claims of Pierre S. Freeman of psychic projection giving the practitioners omniscience are entirely debunked.
________________________________________________________________________

Taking further steps into understanding the mechanism and benefits of psychic projection as was discussed in the previous article, Degree 7, Monograph 5 of the Initiate Section looks into the techniques that bring one into the psychic projection plane. It begins with Soror Grand Lodge recounting her first projection experience. She admits to being psychically projected beyond her physical body entering rooms and even seeing her husband and friend in her ‘travel’ before she returned to her body and awakened. The perceptions of her friend in the dream were spot on when she narrated it to her, attributing to the correctness of the information received ‘there’ as being true and non-illusory. Rosicrucian Soror’s true-life experience lends credence to the authenticity of psychic projection and would help to inspire hopeful Rosicrucians to give the mystical art of psychic projection a try.
The class master starts by issuing a caveat of caution to Sorors and Fratres to handle the information on the techniques of projection with reverence and with a sense of secrecy, for the potency of the information at least. Thereafter, he proceeded to give directions as to how to perform this projection with an experiment. You can see the Monograph 4 of Degree 7 article to get the full description of the experiment for your personal perusal.
Despite that psychic projection is made realizable to all through the Monograph of the AMORC Order’s detailed and self-explanatory presentation, the class master was quick to admit that some still might find their attempt to have a successful psychic projection uneventful. However, he arrogates the failure of projection to five factors and falling asleep when one ought to fall within the projection plane is one of them. To fall out of the body and fall on the projecting plane (maybe caused by exhaustion) is another one of the reasons people may experience some difficulty in projecting. Mystical exercises like deep breathing, yoga and others that were suggested in Monograph 1, 2 and 3 are another reason why trying to attain psychic projection was met with a rebuttal at times.
Another one of the reasons is the inability of some people to acknowledge that they are in a state of projection, even they though they can register that they are out of their physical bodies. While there might be people who don’t have this problem on the physical plane, they complain of difficulties in thought control on the projected ones. These people at times feel like they travelled to farther planes, but in reality they never made it pass their bedrooms. The class master recommended that by consistent studying and practicing of the routines explained in the experiment, you can eventually achieve perfection in your projection abilities.
The discussion then diverted to explain that the fifth factor in failure to achieve successful projection is the fear of the unknown. He explained that not knowing what happens after your physic body leaves the physical one, can be a scary thought for many people. To help ease their doubts, the master then enjoined all to partake in the great art of psychic projection confidently as the techniques of projection pose no known mental or physical consequence on the individual even in the event of projection failure.
In light of these teachings the claims of Pierre S. Freeman of psychic projection giving the practitioners omniscience are entirely debunked.

Analysis of Section Initiate Degree 7 Monograph 4
(Defending AMORC against Pierre S. Freeman Critics)

These teachings prove that Pierre S. Freeman’s false claims about the monograph teaching ways of deception is false. And that the true essence of these teachings lies in projecting our psychic body to help others.
____________________________________________________________

Monograph 4 synchronises with the previous monograph. The monographs are written and arranged this way for symmetry and ease of comprehension. Remember that Monographs 1, 2 and3 explained the psychic body, psychic perceptions and psychic centres, while monographs 4, 5 and 6 steps further and talks about the topic of Concurrence by delving into projection. It begins with an eye-opener that the psychic body too, not just the soul, is capable of leaving the body; and projection makes that possible. In order to do so, concentration on the brain has to be high so as to set the astral fluid in motion. This fluid forms information on anything or person in mind as the fluid flows to the object accessible.
This 4th article in the monographs 4, 5 and 6 begins its lecture on the topic of Psychic Projection i.e. the projection of the psychic body out of the physical body to planes beyond the material world. Rosicrucian initiates are well trained in this practice. Their ability to be wherever they want to be by psychic projection earns them a status of ubiquity. Psychic projection takes patience, constant studying and continuous practice to gain mastery over it at a quicker pace. He stressed this point because he thought most astral projection techniques do not equate to psychic projection. They were according to him, states achieved by the art of self-hypnosis where dangerous consequences could take place since it sometimes puts people in circumstances beyond their control; except when it is done by a professional. Psychic projection however ensured true projection of the psychic body beyond the physical plane, establishing the duality of our being. Psychic projection poses no danger to the individual practicing it unlike self-hypnosis. The only problem that could result is failure to project. But when well mastered, projection will be wherever and whenever it is desired.
The psychic body was said to still maintain connection with the physical body with the aid of the silver chord. The silver chord is said to be extendable to a limitless extension factor, making it easy for a person to project to planes at farther distances from where one’s physical body is. The same is said to bear the responsibility of making us perceive information available in the projection realm, for the hypothalamus to translate for the physical body.
One of the popular questions regarding this topic among budding AMORC member is about the possibility of another physic body taking over the physical body, when your own is away on projection. The monograph gives us the answer that it is not possible because the physical and psychic bodies are still connected by the silver chord. The connection makes it impossible for any other psychic body to make a connection.
The monograph also noted uses of psychic projection including the removal of geographical boundaries, transmitting information to people beyond our physical reach at that instant, transferring empathy to the sick hence aiding their recovery and a host of other possibilities too. These teachings prove that Pierre S. Freeman’s false claims about the monograph teaching ways of deception is false. And that the true essence of these teachings lies in projecting our psychic body to help others.
Experiment 43 titled Psychic Awakening gives insight into the art of psychical projection, teaching in a step-wise manner the ways to achieve a successful projection including the body posture to assume, the intonations to use and so on. The full experiment is available for digest in Section Initiate Degree 7, Monograph 4.

Analysis of Section Initiate Degree 7 Monograph 1, 2, 3
(Defending AMORC against Pierre S. Freeman Critics)

The teachings of these three monographs make it clear that the preposterous claims made by Pierre S. Freeman regarding the physic phenomenon stand false.
______________________________________________________________________________

The Initiate Section Degree 7, Monographs 1, 2 and 3 of AMORC’s Rosicrucian Order, like the preceding monographs, exemplify the widely held beliefs of the Order; but with a focus on the psychic phenomenon, its perception and its centres.
The message of the first monograph is regarding the Psychic Body. Psychic in the context of this monograph refers to the psychic body and the amount of awareness affiliated with it. By this, it connotes that human beings are “dual beings”, and have two energies - the spirit (negative energy) and the mind (positive energy). Going by the first Temple degree rule which states that a third energy emerges when two complementary energies meet, thus forming the psychic body. The Initiate Section Degree 7, Monograph 1, 2 and 3 juxtaposes the psychic body with the physical body, in that it comprises body parts too. But the difference lies in the fact that it has the unique property of perpetuation; meaning that although energy reduces in ill health, the psychic body form remains the same. The permanence of the psychic body part was adduced to be the reason amputees sometimes feel the physical (phantom) presence of the amputated body part, even in its absence. When the psychic body disintegrates, it enters a state of inertness, but its form remains as mentioned earlier.
The second monograph delves deeper into the subject of the psychic body, this time placing emphasis on perception of the psychic phenomenon. While discussing the Psychic Centres, the class master makes it clear that the phenomenon of psychic centres, like the Indian-cum-Tibe’schakraboth, refers to the centres associated with the reception and distribution of energies transmitted in the cosmos. Deep breathing and yoga are said to have a positive impact on the spreading of psychic energies to the psychic centres. Humans have twelve psychic centres which were also exhibited in the Practical Application section of the monograph. The twelve psychic centres can be developed through constant mystic exercising. Psychic Perception was also treated in this monograph. The monograph explained that the perception of psychic energies that are not perceivable by the natural five sense organs, are perceivable by the psychic centres of the psychic body. And that performing mystical exercises helps to increase the perceptive acuity of these psychic centres. The psychic centres at the pituitary and the pineal were named major contributors to psychic perception too.
Psychic Consciousnesses was the major focus in the third monograph. Just as it was taught in the sixth Temple degree, the hypothalamus is the centre of consciousness in the physical body. The psychic centre at the hypothalamus is said to account for consciousness in the psychic body and consciousness there is felt throughout the psychic body. Every human is granted the capacity to have psychic awareness throughout the psychic body; yet it baffles us to note that only few are capable of manifesting extrasensory perception abilities. The class master explains in the monograph that the reason for this was all embedded in the fact that most people lack interpretation of the psychic perceptions they make; not that we all don’t receive psychic information every day. Also, most of the information so received does not reach the psychic centre at the hypothalamus due to its poor development as a result of lack of engagement in the mystical exercises that develop it.
The teachings of these three monographs make it clear that the preposterous claims made by Pierre S. Freeman regarding the physic phenomenon stand false.

Analysis of Section Initiate Degree 7 Monograph 1
(Defending AMORC against Pierre S. Freeman Critics)

Unlike the untrue claims of Pierre S. Freeman, degrading the Rosicrucian Order as a mind controlling cult, I found that a true Rosicrucian is someone who wants to understand and learn as much as they can, about anything they want.
__________________________________________________________

Today, in this post I am going to discuss The Seventh Degree Monograph Number 1 - The Rosicrucian Order. The things we learn in the Order are surrounded by a study of life, the universe and everything in between. It started with a quote by the pseudonym of Papus – Dr. Gerard Encausse, who discussed the Physical, Astral and Physical Principles. He explains that we can have mastery over the Astral Principle and can free it from any limitations normally imposed by matter. He also explained that every human is a dual being, which indicates the study of laws and principles which are mystical. Through these I learned that the Rosicrucians worked primarily with mysticism and had many an illustratious member in their history.
The psychic projection in this degree teaches about the human aura and how different colours dominate auras belonging to different people. It also teaches the vowels sound affects as well as the various functions of the human body. The Rosicrucian Techniques are extremely effective and they make use of laws that science acknowledges. The treatments which are being taught to us are based on the fact that every individual is a dual being.
Considering some details on the physical body and its major functions, I learned about the psychic dimensions of our being. In the study of The Seventh Degree, it focused on the term psychic or psychological, and explained its exact meaning. It mentioned that the word psychic does not refer to the soul nor to our mental or emotional structure; in fact, it is only a reference to the psychic body and the level of consciousness associated with it. The body, in some Rosicrucian teaching, is also known as the Spiritual body, that is, an intermediary body between the physical body and the soul.
According to the Rosicrucian Philosophy, there are certain points in the human body at which the enormously high frequencies of the psychic self are stepped down so that the energies of the cosmic realm may become useful to man on the physical plane. And as far as the human body is concerned, these points of contact between the psychic and physical worlds are collectively referred to as the psychic centres and are associated with the activities of certain glands. The Philosophy also explains that all parts of our physical body have psychic counterparts. One of the characteristics of the psychic body is the permanence of its form. This means that from the moment the psychic body comes into being, its general appearance is not subject to any major alteration but its vibratory frequency changes under the influence of internal or external causes. Even the span of existence of the psychic body is longer than the physical body, but shorter than that of the soul, which is immortal. I also learned that after the physical body dies, during the first few months of its disintegration, the psychic body exists in an etheric form that can only be perceived by means of the psychic features, as its vibratory frequency does not leave any impressions on the objective senses.

Unlike the untrue claims of Pierre S. Freeman, degrading the Rosicrucian Order as a mind controlling cult, I found that a true Rosicrucian is someone who wants to understand and learn as much as they can, about anything they want.
In next post, I will share more about the Rosicrucian healing techniques.
