The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, is known internationally by its traditional and authentic title, the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, from which is derived the acronym "AMORC." The Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis is the Latin form of the organization's name, which literally translates into the Ancient Mystical Order of the Rosy Cross.

The cross symbolically represents the human body and the rose represents the individual's unfolding consciousness. Together, the rose and cross represent the experiences and challenges of a thoughtful life well lived. O.T.O.

Thursby Associate Professor, Department of Religion, University of Florida To quote Gene Thursby: "Over the years, I have designed and offered a wide variety of courses to respond to concerns of undergraduate students and to meet the curriculum needs of a growing department.

Ideas for future links of links, like a list of lists. Comparative religions, cults, (Santaria, Paganism, Scientology, Mormons, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc.) Metaphysics, (Blavatsky, Bailey, Christian Science, Paranormal, Alchemy, Enochian, ) Self-Help, Self-Realization, Self-Healing, (Chopra, Yogananda, Weil, Covey, TM, Yogas, etc.) more western mystery links (BOTA, HOGDI, AMORC, Templars, O.T.O., Flower of Life, The Sphinx, Orion Mystery, Grail, Ark, Plato, Pythagoras, Hermetics, Thoth, etc.) Eastern mysteries (Vedas, Tao, Yi-king, Kung Fu Tsi, ) Meditation, Channeling, Ascension, Ascended Masters, ET's, Earth Changes, OBE's, Angels, Lucid Awakening, Dolphins, Whales, Dogons, Sirius, Theories (chromosomal mutation, 100th monkey, time travel, Ancient Astronauts, Hawkings, Sagan, Tesla, SSG, MJ12, Crop Circles, Black Holes, Pyramids/Face on Mars ) Logos, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Allah, Jupiter, Anu, Elohim, YHWH, Lugh, Baal, Amon, Atum, Ptah, Ra, El, Maitreya, Helios, Apollo, etc. Alphabets (English, Hebrew, Greek, Runes, Enochian, Cuneiform/ Akkadian, Sanskrit, etc.) Not something for everyone, and something not for everyone, but I think I'll skip the satanists, the suicide cults, and doomsday preachers. One exception might be to include some views on catastrophism for those doomsday enthusiasts and Velokovsky afficianados who think the end is near. Maybe I'll add a women's page for Rosie, or Angel and I can add her views to Angel's page, if it's O.K. with Angel. DONE 05/24. Most of the above items can be "searched" to find hundreds or thousands of links, but the degree of relevance might vary from an "exact match" to "totally unrelated." (People name their pets after historical or mythological characters or ideas. A search won't distinguish between a cat's name and a more relevant essay. HTML needs a FICTITIOUS NAME indicator.) Mostly I would like to link to sites that are willing to present opposing views on similar themes. I tend to avoid sites (and people) that claim to have the "one and only" TRUTH, but even some of them have valid points, however exaggerated or minimized or twisted (in some opinions).
