Event Description

Toronto Lodge invites you to join us for:

7:00 p.m.    Council of Solace

7:30 p.m.    Open Meeting - Topic: “God of My Heart,” by Ralph M. Lewis. Rosicrucian Beacon, December 2023, Vol. 33, No. 1

Among people there is no universal concept or definition of the God of one’s Heart, that is, a common belief in a dynamic Supreme Power. We recognize instinctively, intuitively and rationally our subordination to the collectivity of all Being. Can we find other words or ideas to attribute to this ‘Infinite All’ other than the ‘human frame’ or body that comes with our mortal  experience? Consequently, the God of our Heart and the concepts of that God held by all others, must be a construct of our minds; not the essential ‘essence’ of it of course, but the mental image we make of that essence as we experience it.

The Rosicrucian Order is not a religion, but rather a cultural, mystical and philosophical Order. In its discourses and curricula it has always used the term ‘God of our Heart’ when the subjects of mysticism, ontology, Being, or the Absolute are discussed. And the term has always meant for each individual to accept as God the concept which is intimate to the spiritual feelings of the individual.

Both of these events are open to the public.

Members are asked to please bring active membership credentials.
