"The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception" is a book written by Max Heindel, first published in 1909. The book is a Rosicrucian text that presents a detailed cosmological model, describing the creation and organization of the universe according to Rosicrucian teachings. It is divided into three parts: Part I: the Visible and the Invisible Worlds, Man and the Method of Evolution, Rebirth and the Law of Cause and Effect; Part II: the scheme of Evolution in general and the Evolution of the Solar System and the Earth in particular; Part III: Christ and His Mission, Future Development of Man and Initiation, Esoteric Training and a Safe Method of Acquiring Firsthand Knowledge.

The author talks about the true man and his journey through involution, spiritual evolution and epigenesis, presenting practical methods to help the development of latent potentials in each one of us and how to transmute our latency into dynamic powers in order to achieve, according to the author, direct knowledge and conscientious work in the inner planes. It deals with many esoteric topics and also metaphysics, physiology and cosmology (the visible and invisible worlds, human evolution, death and rebirth, nutrition, esoteric training, ...). It contains a history of the evolution of the human spirit and related bodies (from before awareness, through various incarnations of our planet on various planes, and into the future development) and of animal, vegetable and mineral life waves (the myriad life forms and types of consciousness on this physical plane, experiencing their own points in evolution). It also presents an esoteric interpretation about the mission of Christ and an occult analysis of Biblical texts which include the fall of man, the Law of Cause and Consequence and Bible and rebirth, and many other themes which were further developed in the subsequent books, lectures and lessons given by the author at the time (1910s) in the United States.

According to the author, in the beginning of a Day of Manifestation a certain collective Great Being, God, limits Himself to a certain portion of space, in which He elects to create a Solar System for the evolution of added self-consciousness. In God there are contained hosts of glorious Hierarchies and lesser beings of every grade of intelligence and stage of consciousness, from omniscience to an unconsciousness deeper than that of the deepest trance condition. During the current period of manifestation these various grades of beings are working to acquire more experience than they possessed at the beginning of this period of existence. Those who, in previous manifestations, have attained the highest degree of development work on those who have not yet evolved any consciousness .

The book describes that in the Solar System, God's Habitation, there are seven Worlds differentiated by God, within Himself, one after another. These Worlds have each a different "measure" and rate of vibration and are not separated by space or distance, as is the Earth from the other planets .

The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception is a book that presents a unique perspective on the nature of the universe and the evolution of humanity. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the esoteric teachings of the Rosicrucians and the Western Wisdom Teachings. The book is available for purchase online and in bookstores.

The introductory passage given by Max Heindel in his book titled, The Rosicrucian Cosmo Conception. It is important to take our time when learning occult truths, Max Heindel gives us a warning before hand that we should do this very thing. Not to be too hasty in our judgement but, once read, thought about and digested, to find it in our selves.

This is both a nature audiobook and spirituality audiobook. Its based on the work of Max Heindel, who is among the most advanced of Western mystics. He has in his numerous books given the world a trove of information about Nature Spirits, the little people with whom he had such interesting experiences. The writer has listened to many stories (which unfortunately have not been put in writing) of his experiences with these Spirits, of how they live and their appearance.

He had many times remarked that he would someday write an entire book on the Nature Spirits, but his other work interfered with that task. However, from time to time, he gave out information in his writings which has now been collected & condensed in one volume.

In 54 years of Earth life, he gave the world a number of valuable books. This is only one of a number of books he left for the world to gain knowledge from, and enjoy. His astrological books are credited as being the most comprehensive textbooks on the market. His simple and clear manner in imparting knowledge is their greatest strength.

Max Heindel, born Carl Louis von Grasshoff in Denmark, was a Christian occultist, astrologer, and mystic. In 1903, he moved to California and after attending lectures by the theosophist C. W. Leadbeater, he joined the Theosophical Society of Los Angeles, of which he became vice-president in 1904. He also became a vegetarian, and began the study of astrology, which gave him the key to unlocking the mysteries of man's inner nature. In 1907, during a successful period of lectures in Minnesota, he travelled to Berlin. It was then that he reported to have been visited by a spiritual being. The highly evolved entity that visited Heindel eventually identified himself as an Elder Brother of the Rosicrucian Order. Heindel returned to America in the summer of 1908 where he at once started to formulate the Rosicrucian teachings, the Western Wisdom Teachings, which he had received from the Elder Brothers, which he published as a book entitled The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception in 1909.

No sentido mais real e mais literal, um Cristo recém-nascido que nós saudamos em cada festa de Natal que se aproxima, e o Natal é o acontecimento anual mais vital para toda a humanidade, saibamo-lo ou não. Não é apenas a comemoração da data natalícia do nosso amado Irmão Maior Jesus, mas o advento do rejuvenescedor amor-vida do nosso Pai Celestial, por Ele enviado para livrar o mundo das garras mortais do inverno. Sem esta nova infusão de vida e de energia divina, cedo pereceríamos fisicamente, e todo o nosso progresso regular teria sido inútil, pelo menos no que se refere às nossas atuais linhas de desenvolvimento. Infinita fonte de amor divino, o nosso Pai Celestial ama-nos, assim como um pai ama seu filho, pois, Ele conhece a nossa debilidade física e espiritual; Ele reconhece a nossa dependência. Por isso, estamos agora esperando confiantemente o nascimento místico do Cristo de outro ano, carregado com nova vida e amor, enviados pelo Pai para nos socorrer da fome física e espiritual que seria inevitável, não fora essa dádiva de amor anual.

Com tempo, todo o mundo compreenderá que “Deus é Espírito” e que em Espírito e em Verdade deverá ser adorado. Nada podemos fazer para que possamos retratá-lo, pois Ele não é semelhante a nenhuma coisa existente nem no céu nem na Terra.

Diz-se que a Estrela de Belém apareceu ao nascer Jesus e guiou os três sábios para o Salvador. Muito se especulou acerca da natureza dessa estrela. A maioria dos seres humanos que estudam a ciência materialista tem declarado que ela não passa de um mito, enquanto para outros, se fosse algo mais do que um mito, seria a simples “coincidência” de dois sóis mortos que, ao chocarem-se teria produzido uma explosão. Não obstante, todo místico conhece a “Estrela”, sim, e a “Cruz” também, não somente como símbolos relacionados com a vida de Jesus e de Cristo Jesus, mas também através de suas experiências pessoais.

À meia-noite de 24 de dezembro, para os povos do hemisfério norte, onde nasceram todas as religiões atuais, o Sol está diretamente abaixo da Terra e as influências espirituais são fortíssimas. Em tal momento, nessa noite, aos que desejassem, pela primeira vez, dar um passo na Iniciação, seria muitíssimo mais fácil porem-se em contato consciente com o Sol Espiritual. Por esse motivo, nos antigos templos, os discípulos preparados para a Iniciação eram levados pelas mãos dos Hierofantes dos Mistérios e, por meio de cerimônias que se realizavam no Templo, eram elevados a um estado de exaltação, no qual transcendiam toda condição física. A Terra tornava-se transparente à sua visão espiritual e eles viam o Sol da meia-noite: a “Estrela”! Não era o Sol físico, seu salvador físico, o que viam com os seus olhos espirituais, mas o Espírito do Sol, o Cristo, seu Salvador Espiritual.

Essa Estrela que brilhou na Santa Noite ainda brilha para o místico na obscuridade da noite. Quando o ruído cessa e a confusão da atividade física se aquieta, então ele entra em seu interior e procura o caminho que conduz ao Reino da Paz. A brilhante Estrela está sempre ali para guiá-lo e sua alma ouve a canção profética: “Paz na terra e boa vontade entre os homens”

Observamos todos os anos, misticamente, o nascimento, a morte e a ressurreição do Salvador como o fluxo e o refluxo de um impulso espiritual que culmina no Solstício de Dezembro – Natal – e sai da Terra logo após a Páscoa, quando a “palavra” sobe ao Céu, no Domingo de Pentecostes.

Mas lá não fica para sempre.

Foi-nos ensinado que “dali retornará”, “no Juízo”. Portanto, quando o Sol desce pelo equador, em outubro, através do Signo de Libra – época em que os frutos do ano são colhidos, pesados e classificados por tipos – começa a descida do espírito do novo ano, culminando esta descida no nascimento, no Natal.

REPARE: Essa Reunião de Estudos Bíblicos Rosacruzes é dividida em 2 partes:

PRIMEIRA PARTE: Leitura do Texto da Bíblia, no caso: Quinto Capítulo do Evangelho Segundo São Mateus e a significância esotérica das seguintes passagens (Versículos de 38 a 48): Ouvistes que foi dito: Olho por olho e dente por dente. Eu, porém, vos digo: não resistais ao homem mau; antes, àquele que te fere na face direita oferece-lhe, também, a esquerda; àquele que quer pleitear contigo, para tomar-te a túnica, deixa-lhe, também, a veste; e se alguém te obriga a andar uma milha, caminha com ele duas. Dá ao que te pede e não voltes as costas ao que te pede emprestado, desse modo vos tornareis filhos do vosso Pai que está nos céus, porque ele faz nascer o seu sol igualmente sobre maus e bons e cair a chuva sobre justos e injustos. Com efeito, se amais aos que vos amam, que recompensa tendes? Não fazem também os publicanos a mesma coisa? E se saudais apenas os vossos irmãos, que fazeis de mais? Não fazem também os gentios a mesma coisa? Portanto, deveis ser perfeitos como o vosso Pai celeste é perfeito.

SEGUNDA PARTE: Exposição da significância esotérica, sempre segundo os Ensinamentos Rosacruzes, dos pontos principais abordados nesse texto, com a colocação de cada Estudante Rosacruz presente, seja em forma de pergunta, dúvida, explicação, detalhes, exemplos do cotidiano, complementos com outros pontos Rosacruzes. É a parte mais rica da Reunião e que ajuda muito a quem estiver assistindo consolidar várias partes do conhecimento do texto sob estudo.

AVISOS IMPORTANTES para que se possa aproveitar bem esse material: 1) O material que utilizaremos é: a Bíblia, material do Curso Bíblico (assim quem ainda não fez e quiser começar a fazer tal Curso, seria uma boa, pois aproveitará muito mais a aprendizagem), os livros de Max Heindel e Augusta Foss Heindel e os livros da Corinne Heline. Há muito material profundo e que nos ajudará a compreender as "entrelinhas" da Bíblia. 2) Esse estudo é fundamental para o Estudante Rosacruz a fim de ajudá-lo a equilibrar cabeça-coração, intelecto-coração, razão-devoção, ocultista-místico Cristão. 3) A Bíblia que usaremos é a Bíblia Jerusalém. Quem a tiver em papel, sugiro que a traga a fim de fazer anotações nela e "transformá-la em SUA Bíblia de Estudos customizada para VOCÊ". Quem não a tiver e quiser adquiri-la em papel, sugiro que busque em Sebos (pois ela é cara).

A Imaculada Concepção, como muitos outros mistérios sublimes, foi arrastada até a baixeza da materialidade.

Quando o ato gerador é efetuado de forma brutal, corrompido pelo desejo e pela paixão, degrada o ser humano ao nível do animal.

Quando, pelo contrário, os pais em perspectiva se preparam, por meio da oração e de aspirações elevadas, para o ato da fecundação como um Sacramento (sacr significa “portador do germe”, assim: um sacr-amento nesse caso abre o caminho para transmissão de um Átomo-semente físico do pai para a mãe) e não para satisfação própria, a concepção é então Imaculada.

A virgindade física não é o que importa como uma virtude, já que todos são virgens quando nascem; é a pureza e a castidade da alma o que faz a virgem pura no pai ou na mãe; uma pureza que levará seu possuidor ao Sacramento do matrimônio sem mancha de paixão, e que permitirá à mãe levar seu filho em suas entranhas com amor puro, desprovido de sexo. Ter nascido de uma Virgem pressupõe uma vida anterior espiritualizada para a pessoa assim nascida, e nós devemos cultivar caracteres tão puros e incorruptíveis que nos tornem merecedores de nascer em Corpos Densos concebidos imaculadamente.

Muitas experiências foram necessárias para nos preparar para o nível de consciência que agora possuímos, e nosso progresso contínuo depende do uso que fizermos de nossos atuais Corpos Densos (o físico) em seus relacionamentos com o crescimento de nossos veículos espirituais. Um corpo fraco não pode manter a vibração mais elevada, que acompanha qualquer crescimento espiritual, e é somente por meio do crescimento espiritual que a atual geração pode preparar-se para a próxima Era de Aquário.

Visto que nossos próximos renascimentos podem se realizar durante essa Era, é necessário que façamos essa preparação ou seremos incapazes de competir com seres que renasçam em um nível mais elevado, pois eles estão se preparando para o evento que se aproxima. O fracasso, nessa vida, pode significar que renasceremos na próxima vida como membros de um grupo de um povo inferior.

A próxima Era de Aquário exigirá que o ser humano tenha conhecimento do seu Eu superior, e aquele que não se preparar para renascimentos futuros, procurando desenvolver a visão espiritual, será incapaz de competir com o ser humano superior renascido nessa época e terá dado um passo para trás na evolução.

"The Rosacrucian Cosmo-Conception" é um texto espiritual e oculto abrangente que apresenta uma visão de mundo detalhada combinando misticismo cristão e ensinamentos esotéricos. O livro é dividido em três partes principais:

Parte 1. Constituição atual do homem e método de desenvolvimento:

Esta seção explora a constituição física e espiritual dos seres humanos. Ela descreve os mundos visíveis e invisíveis, explicando como o mundo físico é apenas um aspecto de uma realidade maior que inclui vários reinos não físicos. Heindel discute como o desenvolvimento humano progride por esses mundos, enfatizando a importância do despertar espiritual e o desenvolvimento de sentidos superiores para perceber os mundos superfísicos. A seção também aborda o conceito de reencarnação, carma e o processo evolutivo do espírito humano.

Parte 2. Desenvolvimento futuro do homem e iniciação:

Esta parte se aprofunda nos estágios futuros da evolução humana e no processo de iniciação. Heindel explica como a humanidade evoluirá além do mundo físico e atingirá uma consciência espiritual mais elevada. O conceito de iniciação é introduzido como um meio de acelerar esse processo evolutivo. A seção também descreve os diferentes estágios da iniciação e os papéis das ordens esotéricas em guiar os indivíduos em sua jornada espiritual.

Parte 3. O Nascimento da Terra e a Evolução da Humanidade:

A seção final fornece um relato detalhado da evolução da Terra e da humanidade de uma perspectiva espiritual. Ela abrange a criação do mundo, o desenvolvimento de formas de vida e o papel de diferentes hierarquias espirituais em guiar a evolução. O livro também apresenta uma visão do destino final da humanidade, que envolve retornar a um estado de unidade divina após completar o ciclo de evolução.

A missão de Cristo, no auxílio a nós, é nos elevar a um estado mais etérico, em que a morte aqui não mais será necessária para nos livrar dos veículos que se tornaram muito pesados para uso futuro.

O que temos agora é um “corpo de morte”, no qual só uma ínfima quantidade de material está realmente viva, visto que parte de seu volume é matéria nutriente que ainda não foi assimilada e a outra grande parte já está no caminho para ser eliminada, e somente entre esses dois polos é que pode ser encontrado o material que é totalmente vivificado pelo Espírito.

Podemos até resumir as Sete Razões ou Motivos para a necessidade da vinda de Cristo pela Primeira Vez entre Nós:

1. Sair do separatismo (necessário em um momento e nos fornecido pelas Religiões de Raça) para a unidade (por meio do veículo unificante Espírito de Vida do Cristo); as Religiões separatistas do Espírito Santo devem dar lugar à unificante Religião do Filho, a Religião Cristã. Para isso, também, inaugurou a doutrina do Perdão dos Pecados.

2. Alterar a direção da nossa aprendizagem que era de fora para dentro (Lei Jeovística) para de dentro para fora (Lei do amor e do serviço à quintessência do ser humano); a lei deve ceder lugar ao Amor, e as raças e nações separadas devem unir-se numa Fraternidade Universal.

3. Durante o estado de individualização, o pináculo da separatividade ilusória, a humanidade necessita de ajuda extra, mas os atrasados necessitam ainda de um auxílio especial. Para conferir esse auxílio especial, a fim de redimi-los, foi preparada a missão de Cristo. Ele disse que tinha vindo buscar e salvar os que estavam perdidos.

4. Possibilitar a todos os seres humanos o direito de buscar as Iniciações; abriu o caminho da Iniciação para todos os que quisessem alcançá-lo.

5. Fornecer aos seres humanos as 4 Iniciações Maiores (além das 9 Iniciações Menores que já eram possíveis) ou Iniciações Cristãs.

6. Ensinar como curar um ser humano de problemas como a obsessão, pois na época em que Ele veio a obsessão era prevalecente e de crescimento marcante no mundo, o que provocava um atraso substancial tanto para o obsessor (quando era ser humano) como para quem estava sendo obsediado.

7. Purificar o Corpo de Desejos do Planeta (o Mundo do Desejo) a fim de que pudéssemos, como já ocorre atualmente, ter material mais abundante das regiões superiores do Mundo do Desejo, único modo de termos desejos, sentimentos e emoções como filantropia, idealismo, altruísmo, fraternidade, cooperação, servir amorosa e desinteressadamente, etc.

No sentido mais real e mais literal, um Cristo recém-nascido que nós saudamos em cada festa de Natal que se aproxima, e o Natal é o acontecimento anual mais vital para toda a humanidade, saibamo-lo ou não. Não é apenas a comemoração da data natalícia do nosso amado Irmão Maior Jesus, mas o advento do rejuvenescedor amor-vida do nosso Pai Celestial, por Ele enviado para livrar o mundo das garras mortais do inverno. Sem esta nova infusão de vida e de energia divina, cedo pereceríamos fisicamente, e todo o nosso progresso regular teria sido inútil, pelo menos no que se refere às nossas atuais linhas de desenvolvimento.

Infinita fonte de amor divino, o nosso Pai Celestial ama-nos, assim como um pai ama seu filho, pois, Ele conhece a nossa debilidade física e espiritual; Ele reconhece a nossa dependência. Por isso, estamos agora esperando confiantemente o nascimento místico do Cristo de outro ano, carregado com nova vida e amor, enviados pelo Pai para nos socorrer da fome física e espiritual que seria inevitável, não fora essa dádiva de amor anual.

Com tempo, todo o mundo compreenderá que “Deus é Espírito” e que em Espírito e em Verdade deverá ser adorado. Nada podemos fazer para que possamos retratá-lo, pois Ele não é semelhante a nenhuma coisa existente nem no céu nem na Terra.
