Such men arc likely to use big

they have not mastered. Here is
a rather pathetic exam ple: For
a person to put his thoughts into
words is a difficult task if you
are to rem ember that that per
son is a troglodyte who is there

than his urban contem porary.
Or the note at the top of the
page on which one finds the re

It is not surprising that such a

it surprising that he should have

on an application, By reading

It is exactly out of such a hotch

Sirhan trial delayed one day

United Press In fe m tfo fttl
LOS ANGELES Cross-examination of

Dr. Bernard Diamond, a key defense wit
ness In the murder trial of Sirhan B. Sirhan
was postponed yesterday to give the prose
cution time to marshal its attack upon his
testimony.
ftje assassination of Kennedy was strictly

a fantasy and found expression only In ram
bling threats Sirhan wrote In notebooks
until the night of June 4 when he wandered
into the Ambassador Hotel and shot the
senator, Diamond said.
Diamond, a psychiatrist as well as a law

University of California at Berkeley, testi
fied Monday Sirhan killed Sen. Rotttrt F.
Kennedy while Ui a self-induced hypnotic
trance.
Sirhan had been experimenting with self

hypnosis, Induced by staring into a m irror
in a room lighted only with two candles,
Diamond said. On one occasion, he saw not
his own face but the face of Kenendy in
the mirror.
When court convrned yesterday m ining,

associate prosecutor David N. Fitts asked
for a recess to allow him to study the
lengthy testimony given by Diamond.
Trial Judge Herbert V. Walker adjourned
the proceedings until today at 9:30 a m
Diamond, just as other expert witnesses
before him, expressed the belief Sirham
was mentally ill, a paranoid schizophrenic,
and his illness had roots in his boyhood
when he was exposed to violence in the
Arab-Israeli conflict in his native Palestine.
His resentment of the Jews who took over
parts of Arab territory to form the state of
Israel grew with the years and was trans
ferred to Kennedy when the New York sen
ator said he would send 50 Phantom jet
bombers to Israel if he were elected presi
dent, according to Diamond.
Some of the experiments were suggested

in literature received from the occult Roslcruclan Society to which Sirhan subscribed.
In summariilng his own examinations of
Sirhan which included placing the subject
under hypnosis six times, Diamond said.
"With absolutely no knowledge or aware

ness of what was actually happening in his
Roslcruclan and occult experiments, he was
gradually programming himself exactly like
a computer la programmed by Its magnetic
type, programming himself lor the coming
âssassination.
"In his unconscious mind there existed a
plan for the total fulfillment of his side,
paranoid hatred of Kennedy' and all who
might want to help the Jevre,
"In his conscious mind there was no aware
ness of such a plan or that he, Sirhan, was
to be the Instrument of assassination.

California says that Sirhan m ust die. He showed no
mercy; he gets none.

Sirhan's hatred ol Jews begun when his neighbor
hood in Jerusalem was bombed in the 1048 battle for
Israeli freedom. He was small and insecure and he
began to dream of glory and heroics. When he cam e
to America, he learned that the United States govern
ment has a political affinity for Israel and a chronic
suspicion of Arab intentions and motives.
Lite became a series of fantasies. He bought a
revolver nnd fired hundreds of rounds inlo im aginary
targets. He joined a group of mind-controllei's called
the Rosicrucians. He would light candles in front of a
mirror in his room, dwell upon love and peace, and go
into a paroxysm of self-hypnosis.
When he emerged, he found a notebook filled with
words calling for violence and assassination. He be
gan to believe 1hat if enough Rosicrucians got togeth
er and fixed iheir minds to it, they could cause Sen.
Robert Kennedys campaign plane to crash. In Kenne
dy, Sirhan Sirhan was caught in two swirling and
opposing currents: He adm ired the senator, but he
hated him for demanding that the U.S. government
send 50 bombers to Israel.
In a short while, the young man had two separate
and distinct minds working in his head. One was
violent and decreed that Sen. Kennedy be killed before
Tune 5. (The California prim ary was June 4.) The
other mind was fearful, impotent and cowardly.

TELLS OK GOALS OF
ROSICRUCIAN ORDER
Editor: I was intrigued by
a letter from E. W Chattin
which appeared in the Voice
ot tin- People column, w which
he recommended the formation
of a Human Improvement As
sociation. to upgrade the quality
of humans as we do with our
plants and animals.
There is no doubt that the
human race sadly needs improvemenl and 1 quite agree
with Mr Chattin that an or
ganization devoted to this goal
could and would be of great
assistance As he says, the diffi
culty is to get people to work
at it. since the knowledge and
the means have been available
for many hundreds of years
It might be of interest to Mr.
ChatUn and other interested per
sons to know that an appropri
ate organization already exists,
though it does not go by the
title he suggests It is the An
cient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, commonly known as the

Rosicrucian O r d e r , AMORC
with headquarters at Roslcrucian Park in San Jo*e. The
purpose of the Order Is to en
able all to live in harmony with
the creative, constructive, cos
mic forces for the attainment
of health, happiness and peace
The method is through the in
vestigation. study and practical
application of natural laws on
all three planes, the physical,
mental and what is usually
called the spiritual
The Order is not a church
or a religion but is nonscctarian
and includes members of all
races, nations, creeds and cul
tural levels. It had Its tradition
al origin in andent Egypt and
has written records back to the
10th Century
The local Rose Chapter of the
Order sponsors local p u b l i c
meetings, including one held
last Friday at Arion Hall Here
is nn o p portune for all to
learn that the organization,
knowledge and means for hu
man improvement exiU. All
we need is greater numbers of

work at it. Nature has decreed
that all high goals have their

On Sunday
The building of the Great
Pyramid in Egypt will be com
memorated Sunday, when the
local order of Rosicrucians ob
serves the anniversary of that
event.
Mrs c leo Englehart, master
of the Franz Hartmann Pornoas
of Rosicrusian, said the ob
servance comes when the au*
tumn season begins, as it was
at that time the Great Pyramid
was constructed at Gizch.
Unlike other pyramids, which
were built as burial places for
persons in high places, Gizeh
was a temple of learning. It is
said the construction demon*
strates n knowledge of all the
known sciences of the period:
mathematics, physics and the
fundamentals
of
astronomy
which are recognized today.
The Bosicrucians can trace
their traditional origin to Akh*
naton, a pharaoh of the 14th
century B.C. who has been de
scribed as the first great per
sonality in history.
Thus, the order commemo
rates its ancient origin with the
ritualistic and symbolic con

order.

vehemently and repeatedly

And whilr lmperator Lewis
disclosed that We are not

reinforces this disclaimer.
Rosicrucianism has been
bouncing around cultic circles

there have been a number of
modem manifestations. There

Gardner's Holy Rosikrucian

to dispense sacramental wine. But
a band of n iO lf revs w cow m r

(together with ardent biblical
admonitions to MDrink no longer

body, such a ceremony was cus
tomary in ancient Egypt from
t h e Memphite to Ptolemaic
times to mark the beginning of
the new year at the time of the
spring equinox.
The event was symbolic of
new life in the earth and was
commemorated by the use of
the basic food elements of corn,
grape juice and salt.
Since The Rosicrucian Order
traditionally had its beginning
in the reign of Akhnaton in B.C.
1350. it memorializes its ancient
origin Ih this symbolic feast.

Over 250 years ago upon the
continent of North Am erica,
near w here now is located the
city of Philadelphia, Brethren
of the R osy Cross, who had
braved the dangers of the
elem en ts as well as the unjust
prejudices of public opinion to
reach this new land, laid the
foundation of a great pyramid a pyram id of ideals, which
envisaged a future freedom to
inquire into the nature of God,
the universe, and self; ideals
which conceived an era when
knowledge would be applied to
the b e tte r m e n t of m ankind
without restraint by dogm a,
selfish power, or fam e, notes
Mrs. Mary D. Far low, Hobart.

Akhnaton, Pharaoh in 1350 B.C.,
who has been described as the

history. Thus, they com m em o
rate their ancient origin by the
ritualistic and sym bolic con

The fraternal order traces its
origins back to the ancients of
Egypt and all its im pressive
buildings are in Egyptian archi
tecture.
We feel Western civilization
stems from Egypt and fashion

Egypt in the sam e way many

A stately row of ram sphvnxes leads up to the golden doors
and papyrus-type columns of
the museum, built in 1968
In one museum gallery is a

full-sized reproduction of the
mummy case of the famous
King Tutankham en, the only
reproduction in the world of the
costly original located in Cairo.

share with those who laid the
mummy to its re st."
A few yards from Tutankha
m ens mummy is the highlight
of the tour: a full-sized repro
duction of a noble's tomb of the
12th Dynasty.
The tomb, the only one of its
kind in North America, is fash
ioned after those found near the
Arab village of Beni Hasan.
The initial cham ber of the
tomb has m assive columns, a
false door, a recessed alcove
and sculptured walls.
The guide says the false door
was for the soul which was
often depicted as a humanhead

ed bird.
The Egyptians believed that
the soul flew about by day and
returned to the body at night. It
entered the outer coffin through
another false door and identi
fied the mummy by its facial
mask.

SAN JOSE (UPI> - Each

the world s finest Egyptian mu
seums on a tour that includes

We have as large a mummy

United S tates. says A rthur
Piepenbrink. the group s secre
tary.
The fraternal order traces its
origins back to the ancients of
Egypt and all its impressive
buildings are in Egyptian archi
tecture.
"We feel Western civilization
stems from Egypt and fashion
our buildings a fte r ancient

one can appreciate the words of

B ritish archeologist Howard
Carter when he discovered it in
1922.
"For a moment, time as a
factor in human life has lost its
meaning." he said "The very
a ir you b reathe, unchanged
through the centuries, you
share with those who laid the
mummy to its rest
A few yards from Tutankha
men's mummy is the highlight
of the tour a full-sized repro
duction of a noble's tomb of the
12th Dynasty.
The tomb, the only one of its
kind in North America, is fash
ioned after those found near the
Arab village of Beni Hasan
The initial chamber of the
tomb has massive columns, a
false door, a recessed alcove
and sculptured walls.
The guide says the false door
was for the soul which was
often depicted as a humanhead

ed bird.
The Egyptians believed that
the soul new about by day and
returned to the body at night. It
entered the outer coffin through
another false door and identi
fied the mummy by its facial
mask
No matter how impressive
' one feels the outer chamber is,

nothing prepares him for the
stu n n in g in n e r c h a m b e r,
reached via a descending corri
dor
The brilliantly-colored walls
show everyday scenes of Egyp
tian life: farmers herding cows
to market, butchers slaughter
ing cattle, hunters going after
prey
The Egyptians were fearful of
grave robbers and buried their
bejewelled mummies in a shaft
in the center of the chamber.
The outer coffin, however, is
damaged showing that the
thieves were even more clever.

Take a closer look

at Rosicrucian Order .
Although your article (Rosicru
cians Disrupted by Financial Scan* '
dal, Sept. 19) concerning the
financial mismanagement of the Bo*
sicrudan Order CAAfORO was tech- *
nically correct, the perspective'
gained from your description of the
purpose and goals of the Rosicrucian
movements was extremely distorted.
Your perspective was analogous to
that ot Judas describing the growth
of Christianity! As one ancient put it,
one can know everything and un
derstand nothing."
What is the Tea) reason for such
organizations as the Rosicrucians?
What are they attempting to accom
plish? What is the value of Rosimi-*
cianism in a world where life can so
often be insipid, tedious and empty?
Unfortunately, this is often true even
for the small minority of the world
that controls most of its material
assets. The paradox is the more we
get, the less wd enjoy i t For me, the
value of the graded Roekruoan
teachings is that it makes me whole.
It helps me to become consdous of
my soul and my life takes on a new
meaning.
When one has experienced that
he/she is more than just a physical
body, the fear of death vanishes. Hie
ioy of living intensifies, and ooe
begins to welcome the.challenges of
daily living.
Integration of the self is another

benefit of Rosicrucianism. Learning
to love the masculine and feminine
aspects in us will assist one in
getting along with the opposite gen
der. Life is lived from the inside out,
so if one is having a problem with
women or men/ perhaps that is
mirroring some unresolved conflict
within. The integration of our shad
ow is the hardest to accomplish for it
means that one must respect our
pains and failures (as motivators) as
much as our successes (as sustainers).
It is true that Gary Stewart was
imperator of the Rosicrucians for
several years. However, the unim
portant question for us is whether
Gary Stewart attained the state of
consciousness symbolized by the
word imperator. The important
question is whether any of us has
attained that interior state.
For those of us who have spent no
little time in trying to publicize the
existence and activities of the Rosi
crucians, your mention of its secre
tive nature caused me to laugh. If
one wants to know the MsecrBu of
Rosicrucianism, please either read
Shakespeare or the Bible, but do it
with the heart Live according to
your highest ideas and quit judng
your neighbor. Act according to the
law of love and realize that Ufa is a
t from God, then all the secrets of
a e universe will pour out to you.
Because Rosicrucianism is non
sectarian and deals with universal
principles, it cannot correctly be
designated a sect as your article
s ta te d .

In conclusion, I have not experi

enced the hostility between the sev
eral Rosicrucian groups that the
article mentioned Most aspirants of
these movements understand that
the different forms are from the
same essence/tradition. In fact, at
this time, I am involved In another
organization that supposedly com*
petes with (he Rosicrucians.

Master Lillian Boyle of the
local chapter notes that the
ancient Egyptians from the time
of Memphis to the Ptolemaic
Period, began their New Year
always on or about the time of
the Vernal Equinox. That is
when th e sun in its journey
crosses the celestial equator and
enters the Zodiacal sign of Aries,
which always occurs on or about
March 22.
This was considered the begin
ning of the New Year because
spring is symbolic of new life,

reawakening of nature from the
dormant period of winter.
The occasion of the New Year
will be celebrated, according to
Master Boyle, by a symbolic

l I am interested in joining the Rosicrucians but
would like to have more information about them before
fommitting myself. Could Action Line please find out
what the Rosicrucians espouse? D.J., Long Bench.
; The Rosicrucian. Order is a worldwide fraternal
organization based on the philosophy that a person's
well-being Is best achieved by " attuning
self to a
fiigbcr consciouseM, according to Raymond Morgan,
Km;icrucian promotion director. It expounds a system
of metaphysical and physical philosophy in whirh the
member Is taught the significance of the cosmic and
natural laws which an* found manifest in the universe
around him and In himself. The word "Rosicrucian' is
the anglicized form of the original Latin name of the
order Rosae Cruclas, which means of the rosy cross.
A cross and a red rose are the symbols for order.
Although the order bases its fifties on Christianity, it
vlaims it Is not a religious sect uml is uunsectarian in
every respect. Traditionally, the Rosicrucian Order
claims to trace ita origin to the mystery schools of
learning established during the reign of Thutmose 111
in K gypt ^boot 1500 B.C. Today the Rosicrucians have

DR MITCHELL AT HOME
'It Is You, The Real You

By MARTHA GOINS
What would Isaac Newton, Claude Debussy, Francis Bacon.
Benjamin Franklin and Dr Margarette Mitchell of Danville
have in common?
They have been members of the Rosicrucian Order, an
august fraternity whose doctrines were hinted at by the earliest
philosophers "
Dr Mitchell has recently returned from a Rosicrucian con
vention In San Jose, Cal
The Rosicrucian (Rose and Cross) fraternity is the oldest
continuing society in culture, she said. It traces its beginning to
Pharoah Akhnaton. 1350B C , to Socrates
Dr Mitchell explained she had been a Rosicrucian lor years.
The teachings of the Order were intellectually stimulating lo the
iDoctor of Philosophy, a professor in Romance Languages.
The former Stratford faculty member said she had searched
for a meaning to life and answers to 'why," especially since
she grew up in Germany where, under the Nazi regime, mem
bers of her family disappeared never to be heard of again.
"I was not ten when Hitler came in power," she explained
The scientific findings of the Order appeal to Mrs. Mitchell,
who noted the theories of harmony of the universe and the in
dividual.
Everything is alive The earth is a living being. There are
life (orces so there are adjustments, natural phenomena. Motion
is basic law of material life."
in discussing the teachings, Mrs. Mitchell said each nation

and religion have had mystics, oneness of all who have com
mon experience and knowledge related to the source of our
beings "
Truth does not go into hiding The world is a school. We
come here to learn our lessons We are products of institutions,
society, humaneness. I knew, I knew," she quietly repealed, we
are part of relationship to life, the mystical aspect of life."
I did not have to be told to talk to my plants," she smiled.
(Mrs. Mitchell's plants are marvels Rich, verdant leaves,
trailing philodrendon and oversize plants grace the porch and
living areas. She says she is attuned with her plants )
Mrs Mitchell explained the society is not affiliated with any
religion and is not a religion. In reading of the literature, the
Rosicrucians would buttress the beliefs of the individual in God
There is no dogma. You are a student. I have found the
studies, monographs and questions I have soon answered. I could
not dotlusakme."
She noted she felt more "self-awareness" and her relationship
to the world about her through the teachings of the wisdom of the
ages to modem lime.
The whole universe. God's law and harmony, we tune our
selves. Life has meanings, we no longer grope "
"H tf you, "she said, the real you "

E diting For A Butterfly, Henry Sha* Admires Ginkgo Leaf
A Tinkerer He Strides
Along Life's Hard Road
By JOHN H. BRUBAKER III
Midway through a detailed description of
his rare ginkgo tree, Henry S. Shaw spots
something out of the comer of his eye, breaks
for his tool shed, grate a butterfly net
But the winded creature Is gone, fluttering
beyond the lonjf nws of cabbage, nnirms and
chard which snake away frum Ihe side of
Shaw's borne on Ingram Rnad.
T wish I could get that scoundrel says the
spry Tft yearoJd uith twinkles in both eyes.
l i e s the fellow that makes the loopers dial
toll the nabbage.
,4I used to enllcct butterflies but I had
trouble with fungus geitlng all over the
hufterflics I finally decided. That's enough:
IlJhunt rucks, noi ftitterflips It's easier just
to wash the dirt off them and nut worry about
the fungus on the butterflies.
Atfireri in a hright blue work suit which
appears Un'lur-ioade. Siaw carefully replaces
the butterfly net on a shetf in the tool sbed
beneath a Eourc mandolin shined to a brilliant
finish.
He arums a tune ami laughs, points to an

aluminum bird cage ho formed from scratch,
exhibits tools he manufactured without dies.
1 do a lot of tinkering. he says. T m the
greatest tbikerer youve ever seen. He
ne/Ieds, I guess J am a nut if there ever was
one.
( Southsiders
Shaw was bom with a broad streak of
curiosity at the end of (he fifth month after the
turn of this century. Since then, he has been
learning all ho can about his world.
It is a wide world, he noe$. though it cannot
be measured by standards which most people
use to define a successful life.
Shaw dropped out of the public school
system in Jus native Halifax County before he
completed the eighth grade. He worked in
Iradesmaking tobarrn bam flues in a sheet
metal .shot at 12, later working in saw and
grist mills, and finally spending three and a
half decades cleaning loom reeds and har
nesses at Dan River Inc
Along the way. he and his wife. Charlotte,
lost three of their four children in coming up
the hard roaci!%They suffered their ov.v
illnesses Near-poverty occasionally uTapped
il>em in sorrow.
What made it worthwhile was Shaw's
determination to continue an informal
education all his life. He explains that
determination simply: 'if Ive got to live in
this world. 1want to know whats going on.,T'
Anri so Shaw has t*vn a serious sradenr of
or has dahbled in wUd life and plants, musical
instrument?, rocks and gems, Indian ar
tifacts. painting, magic. photography, tootmaking and numerous other fietcis.
Fro* i long walks in the wilderness. Shaw
returns to his hfrtisc with Jerusalem ar
tichokes, crimson clover. Egyptian onions,
wild pekeweed and other wild plants which
most rtfonlc- would stop on and forget. He
grows the? plan!* and more in his garden

and eats the sweet fruit o: his labor.
Thereare thousands of things in the woods
to be ted just for the taking." he says. And
with the high cost of rood, it comes in handy.
Wi Id foods are even more delicious than some
garden plants. One must know at what stage
to take them and how to prepare them."
Shaw plays everv string instrument known
to man and owns many of them, including
cello, bass guitar, mandolin, dulcimer. He
has a 1916 Gibson guilar which he purchased
in the late 20s while earning S13.01 a week at
Dan Hiver.
1 play strictly hy ear. Ttie heck with
music, he notes. 4,ff someone says play
Won't You Come Home- Bill Bailey? ! don't
want to be searching around for books of
music,
Currently, shaw plays electric string bass
with the Dan River Retired Gub Band. He
savs it took him a couple minutes to get the
feel of the new instrument and then. "1
started playing that thing like a mad bull
running through a straw field.
Shaw gives credit to the late Johnny
Westhnook for teaching him everything he
didnt already know about music. He played
with Westbrook's band all around the area for
nearly 15 years.
Mr Westbrook could play any instrument
ever invented. Shaw savs. He was an in
spiring man. We also hunted for wild plants
for many years. He taught me to stop tilling
things If he found a snake, he threw it out or
the path alive."
Svsw does not just collect rocks'. He
searches for the perfect rocks to be cul into
gems and be cracks open some of those rocks
to find fossils.
.
He has hauled hundreds of pounds of jade,
agate, amethyst and quartz from just about
everywhere in Virginia to his hack yard.
Some* of the stones he has cut inm gems, in
cluding a clear quartz stone with 91 carats
and 20B facets which c*omes dose to blinding
the beholder when its held behind a light.
He has performed magic tricks since he
was 12 years old and. as a jackleg artist
most of his fife, has created works with oil,
water color and pastels to adom the walls of
his house.
When Shaw observes something which

fascinates him, he often photographs ft. Owce
he thought he broke his toe and did not trust
the doctor's negative diagnosis. So he went
tome and blew up the contact x-ray. Hr
couldnt find a break either.
To u p s s the crack was in my head, not in
my toe. he says, reveling in laughter at the
oW joke 011 himself
Shaw reacts everything he can find and
talks with everyone wlio seems interesting
and meditates on aO the significant things tie
learns.
As a Rof-icrurian fa metaphysical In
vestigator). Shaw believes that all l)e does is
related because everything on earth is part of
the Universal One.
Rosicrucians study everything, both
spiritual and physical, be explains. They
(ton'! leave ofT anything Talso have a great
respect tor natural law*. 1make em alt work
for me. Itiats why 1 get so old
Besides, Shaw notes, ihe mind rules the
body and his mind is not about to allow his
body to grow old.
You always must question tife.V he says.
That's the way you learn. You leam to see
things the average person doesn't see. You
leam to see the small things that other people
walk over. You get so sensitive its
aggravating sometimes.'
One of the things which aggravates Shaw is
preservatives in food. He says lie con taste
them and doesent like edibles which include
them.
\ le says lie also liears and sees things other
people miss. "When I close my eyes. I see
things there which have taken 40 or 50 years
of practicing to see, he notes. There's no

end 1o (he wonderment.
While Shaw has many friends, he
sometimes has difficulty findra* people who
are willing to talk wiJh him about the deeper
mysteries of life. Them ain't no end to
conversation if you're talking con
structively, he savs.
It Irks me wtwn 1 read and try to contact
people with mv interests and they tgnore it,
)>e adtfc. Anyone wanting to contact me can
drop me a card, as I don't want lo be

He smiles and slowly reaches for his net.
The offending butterfly has returned to his
eabhage patch Another game of life con

Rosicrucians Praise Openness

But Danville Talk Attracts Few
By JOHN N0IIT11
Staff Writer
People in Virginia and North Carolina seem to be fairly**
opea-minded and tolerant toward the Rosicrucians, according to
Gene Flinter, master of the Triangle Rose Pronaos, In an in
terview yesterday.
We don't have much of a problem," he asserted *\Vc have
many members who are Southern Baptists, Methodists,
Catholics and .lews. And we have never experienced any
prejudice.
Flinter and several other Raleigh. N.C., Rosicrucians. mem
bers of Die Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC),
spoke to a group of 20 persons yesterday in the Danville Room of
the First National Bank
The program was organized and sponsored by a Danvillian,
Dr. Margarcte K. Mitchell, of 160 Greencroft Place. She ad
vertised the meeting extensively and said she was not pleased
with the meager attendance. She also declined to estimate Ihe
number of Rosicrucians who live in Danville.
Mrs. Madge Doss, a Rosicrucian spokesman, explained that
the society preserves the anonymity ofits members during their
lifetimes. For example, she said, a high-placed political or
social leader might waul to keep his membership confidential
because some people might not understand
The Rosicrucians, as a group, do not involve themselves in
political activity, she added, but Individual members may be
very active in politics.
Many well-known persons, she said, have been members of
the society, including TJiomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin,
Sir Isaac Newton and Walt Disney.
Further, Mrs. Doss contended, Jusus Christ traveled to

various mystery schools between the ages of 13 and 30 and
was initiated by the Rosicrucian*
Keynote Speaker Edward J. Silber said, The Rosicrucian Or
der, AMOKC, is officially recognized as a non-profit, fraternal,
cultural and educational association, ft is non-political.
The Rosicrucian Order originated as one of die mystery
schools of the ancient wisdom during Egypt's lBth Dynasty
period. Both men and women have been included In the mem
bership since its inception.
Silber said membership is open to anyone who "sincerely
desires to study the metaphysical principals and universal
laws the order espouses.
Members are never required to accept or believe what they
are taught, he emphasized, They ore urged to be walking
question m arks and to investigate the principals for them
selves.
The AMORC mails weekly lessons to members for home
study. Subject* offered include The Meanings of Ancient Sym
bolism, Inquiry Into The Nature Of The Soul, Fundamentals Of
Mental Attunement, The Human Consciousness and others.
The heajlquartcrs of the order Is in Rosicrucian Park* at San
jose, uimornTa. The setting is similar to that of the
organization's Egyptian origin.
.
The Rosicrucians believe there is only one, true God. Mem
bers include Christians as well as Jews, Buddhists, Moslems
and others.
Oriental experiments and sexual practices are not condoned
by the order,*' Silber said. "The branch of vogn, tantnck,
teaches that the evolution of man's consciousness can be
achieved by sexual practices. Rosicrucians dont have to
become vegetarians or contortionists.
Moreover, Silber stated. T h e Kosicnician Society fcs not anti
church. anti social... Its not against anything that is fine and
*
decent in our society.
He also stressed that the order Is not a secret society. It is a
brotherh<K)d in the truest sense." Put, Silber acknowledged,
Rosicrucian instruction is limited to members
We dont want Uie teachings to be indiscriminately spread
around, he explained. The teachings can provide a person with
power which could be used for destructive purposes, Silber ad
ded.
Rosicrucians teach healing, Silber said. That pow er.in
the wrong hands, could be used for destructive purposes.
What do the Rosicrucian rose and cross symbolize?
Dr. Albert Doss, a Rosicrucian and Raleigh psychologist, said
the rose symbolizes mans spiritual unfolding as he discovers
the meaning of life. The cross symbolizes the trials and
trJbuln lions that man experiences.
And together, he suggested, "they symbolize mans
evolution
The psychologist quipped. We wonder if its going to protect
us agninst the swine flu. But we're all going to get shots
anyway. The audience chuckled.
.
Reincarnation is another Rosicrucian teaching. MBut." Dr.

Doss advised, ihe non-acceptance of reincarnation does not
prevent one from carrying on with the teachings."
Other beliefs of the Rosicrucians include:
The physical body is the temple of the living soul.
Five, and 12are mystery numbers.
Earth, fire, water and air are the four elements of nature.
Silber said, An understanding of God can be achieved only
through personal experience.
Fllnter, the leader of the 4>member. Raleigh-based pronaos,
said he became interested in the Rosicrucians because of
dissatisfaction with organized religion.
"1 felt exiled and isolated from God," he said. I have found
the Rosicrucian Order satisfies my search for a purpose in lie ."
He continued, There's got to be a designer somewhere. Tbere
always has to be a purpose behind a cause. There's always a
plan. Maybe all the stars are part ol a body the body ol God.
Dr. Doss pointed out that tho Rosicrucian Order had Its birth
at the beginning of human history.
"Wisdom is never lost, lie suggested. "Its always there for
those who have an open jninti."

DO PLANTS REALLY CARE?
Giving plants good care is necessary. Who would ex
pect a child to grow without plenty of nourishing food,
water, and sunshine? But children do not grow without
loving. That has been proven over and over. And it is now
being proved that plants need love, too, if one wants them
to do their best, that i s ... When you talk to your plants as
you do to your children or pets, there wont be an im
mediate response like a coo or purr or a wag of the tail,
but there will be a gradual response of thick healthy
leaves, lush coloring, more fruit and a wealth of beauty.
This beauty will bring more joy to your life. This is the
plants way of returning your love. Rosicrucian Digest

ture, open to the public, on
Friday at 8 p.m. at Arion Hall,
230 Plymouth St., Santa Cruz.

"E soteric
Astrology, The Ancient Secret
Science. A question-answer pe
riod will follow his talk
The Rosicrucians, according
to Malat, are a group of men
and women who are motivated
by the eternal quest for truth
Brought together in a common
purpose, centuries ago they in
stituted the Rosicrucian Order.
It is a non-sectarian fraternal
body, devoted to the investiga
tion, study and practical ap
plication of natural and spiritu
al laws. Purpose of the o r
ganization is to enable all to
live in harmony with the
creative, constructive cosmic
forces.

The reenactment of a cere
m ony that began in ancient
E g y p t more than 40 centuries
a go will be the highlight of a
local Rosicrucian conclave in
Santa Cruz on M arch 24
According
to
M arjorie
Tholen. master of Rosicrucian
R o se Chapter of Santa Cruz, the
ancient Egyptians, from the
tim e
of M em phis
to the
P to le m aic period, began their
New Y e a r on or about the lime
of the vernal equinox
The equinox occurs when the
sun crosses the celestial equa
tor and enters the zodiacal sign
of A rie s which alw ays oocurs
on or about M arch 21 in Kgypt,
with the coming of spring
While not now experiencing
the advent of spring, those liv
ing in the southern hemisphere
sym bolically perpetuate the
basic transition in the season
T h is w as considered the begin
ning of the New Y ear and was
sym b o lic of new life
The
Rosicrucian
Order,
A M O R C , is a nonreligious,
m ain tain s that its traditional
origin occured in 1350 B.C. dur
ing
the reign of Pharaoh
Akhnaton
The Order com
m em orates this ancient new
year by a sym bolic feast in
which the celebrants partake of
sim p le foods corresponding to
certain basic elements in na
ture:
salt,
corn
and
un
ferm ented grape juice
New officers of the local
chapter who w ill be installed

Ponderous produce can't be attributed to pig m anure alone
Case of the Giant Vegetables' rooted in mystery

VALLE DE SANTIAGO, Mexico (UPI) The case of J. Carmen Garcias giant vege
tables gets curiouser and curiouser.
Gar cl*, the m arvel of the marketplace In his vil
lage in a produce-rich valley in Guanajuato state
260 miles northwest of Mexico City, perennially
brings in 50-pound cabbages and 10-pound onions
snd 5-feet-long coilard greens.
So how does he do it?
He says a man claiming extraterrestrial, un
derground-dwelling humanoids who live on giant
vegetables held him in a subterranean priaon
gave him a scrap of paper containing a formula of
symbols. Garcia said he gained inspiration for his
own growing talents from contemplating the for
mula.
Whatever one thinks of the extraterrestrial con
nection, the existence of the vegetables is unde
niable. Garcia produces them year in and year
out. Photographs exist. And Bill Robinson, a San
Diego Police Department information officer,
keeps a 10-pound Garica onion In his freezer in
San Diego.
In February, United P r e u International trans
mitted an illustrated dispatch about Garcia baaed
on an article in San Diego Home and Garden
Magazine by Roblnaon. Robinson had stumbled
upon the giant vegetables, Garcia and his associ
ate. Oscar Arredondo, while on a Mexican vaca

tion.
After the UPI dispatch, Robinson received over
1,000 letters from would-be greenthumbs around
the world, requesting more information, including
two from U. S. Department of Agriculture plant
pathologists in Florida and California.
Awed by the sudden interest, Robinson felt dutybound to return to Mexico to seek more informa
tion from Garcia. UPI tagged along as inter
preter.
Garcia was less than overjoyed to see Robinson
sgain, and it wasn't becsuse the visit interrupted
irrigation chores on his 3-scre parcel
Last week on one day I had people here from
New Zealand, Venezuela, France, the Dominican
Republic, Canada. Germany and the United
States," Garcia said. I tell them 'Stay here six
months and I'll teach you the m ethod' Finally
they go away, but others come. It's hard for me to
get any work done."
A quick look around the tidy parcel disclosed no
giant vegetables among the rows of cabbage, to
mato and other plants.
This is the winter crop, and I'm experimenting
now with getting higher yields instead of the giant
vegetabiea. I think I've made a breakthrough with
calabazas de arbol (a species of edible pump

kin)," Garcia said. "But some of these foreigners
say I can't grow the big ones so I'm going to grow
them bigger than ever for the September harvest.
Carambal I've been growing them since 1973, and
1 can do it whenever 1 want to."
JXFfJ
He also said he did not want to diacuas hie for*

mula "What is Important la that the way to grow
giant vegetables has been put in s safe place for
the benefit of humanity." he said.
Tha chosen depository for mankind, it turn* out,
la the Roakrucian Order of San Joae, Calif.
Garcia said he would not give the details of his
method. But he did say he uses a little organic fer
tilizer, specifically pig manure.
' A spokesman for the Rosicrucian Order said the
organization had been given the formula but "we
do not have the faintest Idea whether it ia valid or
not."
Another official said his order is conducting sgricultursl experiments at San Jose based on tha
formula
"Yes, the experimentation centers oo energizing
the seeds." he said. "The energy source? The
energization Is imparted by the human mind."
Curiouser snd curiouser.

oversized coilard green grown
on his farm.

Color vital to painters well-being

Living with red provides her with energy to fight multiple sclerosis

JOURNAL REPORTER
Color Is the essence of Ruth McMil
lans life. Without the blood red drapes
and lamp shades in her llvlngroom,
she believes she wouldn't have the
strength to fight the multiple sclerosis
(MS) that has invaded her body.
The fatigue of MS Is unbelievable.
I need the red. It's very stimulating
and gives me the energy I need. I have
this blue around because I find It very
calming. I've had MS for 10 years and
my doctor is amazed at what l*m able
to do."
McMillan, 47, is an Ottawa artist
who believes in the healing properties
of color. She is a member of the
Rosicrucian Order, a worldwide fra
ternal organization that encourages
an unconventional philosophy of life
based on intellectual pursuits in the'
physical and metaphysical worlds.

Not a cult
Based in California, the Rosicru
cians claim they are not a cult. Their
two-year indoctrination course covers
the sciences, arts, philosophy, me
taphysics and mysticism. Sir Francis
Bacon was a well-known member of
the order.
But McMillan's slx-year Involve
ment In the order is Incidental to her
lifes involvement with color. Shes
been painting since she was a child.
She says its something she has to do
for her own survival.
M cM illan, who had a show of
pho togruphs at City Hall last year,
h as been teaching art professionally
couldnt speak as well but somehow

that gave me a deeper understanding
of my own work. From then on, and
that was in 1975,1 feel 1 really started
painting. I feel more competent now. I
wear special magnifying glasses when
I paint.**
Without her knowledge of colors,
and their healing properties, McMil
lan believes she wouldnt be as mobile
as she is now. She has a close-to-a-fulltime job as a volunteer worker for the
Parkinsons Disease Association, and
her artwork.
"If people would only trust their
instincts then they would know what
colors they need. I wear a lot of red. It
gives me that little extra bit of energy
I need."
Color therapy is not a recognized
profession in Canada. Books on the
subject in Ottawa bookstores are few.
But according to Stanley Burroughs,
an American guru of sorts and author
of the book Healing for the Age of
Enlightenment, color can heal an
ailing spleen or strengthen a weak
heart.
Color everyw here

According to Burroughs. All creat
ed things have colors, tones and forms
of their own. Every created color tone,
and thought associated with it. be-
out of her Clyde Avenue home since

1965. She says she lakes the mystery
out of learning to paint and prefers to
teach people who have never painted
before. She wants her pupils to have a
positive experience with their a rt
work.
McMillan's own art has progressed
to a professional high she says. Shes
now painting what she calls cosmic
blossoms.
*I honestly believe Its my best
work to date. Im on a spiritual high
when I paint now. I just give myself
over to my work. 1 feel the creative
energy flowing into me as I do It."
There was a period says McMillan,
when she first learned of her medical
problems, that she didn't paint. It
lasted two years.
"I had only five per cent vision in
my right eye and 80 per cent In my
left. I was pretty depressed. Theres
nothing worse for an artist than to lose
their sight.
After my second attack of MS I
Color everyw here

According to Burroughs. All creat
ed things have colors, tones and forms
of their own. Every created color tone,
and thought associated with it, be
comes a living thing to torture man or
exalt him according to his use or
abuse of the natural laws.
Colors are vibrations of creation.
Color Is the result of chemical action.
Color creates chemical action and
m atter."
Burroughs believes all our body
systems depend on a balance of colors
created by these chemical reactions.
The application and consumption of
certain colors, performed by a proper
ly Informed person, can cure any ail
ment.
Hes not alone in his beliefs. As a
professor of art from Sacramento
Slate College. Dr. Tarm o Pasto stales
in ihe medical text Psychiatry and
Art, the great psychological interest
in color today is perhaps due to the
phenomenal rise in the use of art In
psycho-analytical, psychiatric and
psycho-therapeutic work with children
and the disturbed.
