CINNABAR PATH IN PRACTICAL ALCHEMY

From: gor_363 (Original Message)

Dear Members:The story starts from Kamala-Jnana as one of nom de plume of a contemporary alchemists (maybe Roger Caro or Jean Deleuvre)that was a Superior of the Temple of Ajunta.During the 60's, the Temple Initiatique Alchimique d'Ajunta wasfounded by Jean Deleuvre (known also probably as Kamala-Jnana). A book waspublished with photographs showing the main steps of the alchemicalwork (Cinabre Path).After Deleuvre's death, Roger Caro became the new leader of this groupand changed the name of Temple of Ajunta into Freres Aines de la roseCroix. In 1973, the organisation decided to be "asleep" for 25 yearsin order to match with rosicrucian traditions (?).In fact, in 1972, Etienne Roger Caro created a new organisation : theEglise Universelle de la Nouvelle Alliance. This later organisationseems to have stopped alchemical practices since the death of Mr. Caro.Roger Caro was born in 1911 and died in January of 1992.The Collegial Al-kimia is the External Circle of the Old Rosa + Cruzheadquartered in France.With Roger Caro's death, the Collegial Al-kimia has also fallen asleep.But it is possible write to Daniel Caro (son of Roger Caro) and to ordersome books published by Ajunta Temple. The address is :Daniel CaroBatiment D. Chambrun270 avenue de Pessicart06100 NiceSo my 1 question is what hapenned when Freres Aines R+C was separated from Temple of Ajunta. And was finally Temple of Ajunta survived after this? Was there any conflict? Because I know the people whom associate their selves with FARC, but say that don't wish to belong to Temple of Ajunta. If yes, what are the goals of Temple of Ajunta ???I noticed that the person in the forum called Temple of Ajunta, whom indicated the link to the site of AMORC Modus Operandi.2 questions: can you please tell me what is this site.3 questions: Cinnabar path do you know some other realiable works (maybe photographed) despite ofKamala Jnana/Jean Deleuvre/Roger Caro.4 question: what are the conditions of becoming member of Temple of Ajunta or FAR+C can you say more about this possibilities. If possible I would like to ask for your help.GOR

As for the FAR+C, you can't join the original FAR+C because it doesn't exist any longer. Roger Caro explicitely stated it:« A ma mort, l'Ordre souverain des Frères Aînés de la Rose Croix sera automatiquement dissout et plus personne ne pourra en utiliser le nom. » ... "Upon my death, the sovereign Order of the Elder Brothers of the Rosy Cross will automatically be disbanded and no longer will any person be able to use the name." If there are groups out there claiming to be the FAR+C, they are false, or not acting in accord with its leader. It should be added, however, that there are a couple students of Roger Caro still around who do still practice, and one might be able to enter the stream as a student.Many of the writings of Caro were available through Editions de Massanne, but many are now out of print.Que Dieu nous bénisse.+PhillipT.

Thank you for your clarification.You mentioned that 'there are a couple students of Roger Caro still around who do still practice, and one might be able to enter the stream as a student'.Can you please say more about such possibility?You mentioned nothing about the Temple of Ajunta or Temple of Vrehappada originally associated with Kamala Jnana (maybe Jean Deleuvre).Fraternally in eclessia,GOR

Dear Tau Vincent II
In your other message in this forum you mentioned thatHowever, all hope is not lost. In spite of presently being extremely busy, there are some of us who have been in communication with one of Roger Caro's best students and who have expressed a desire to continue that aspect of the work, having already had access to virtually all other components of the esoteric tradition coming out of Europe, and in particular, France.It cannot be said what timeline may be involved, however, the potential is still very much alive.So can you please indicate of what this student have done until now? or did s/he achived any results and success in KJ way (since the way is described in the RC photos). Also I think that you could know the Society Sanctuaire in France.Bes regards,GOR

Well, I only know one of Caro's last principal students, and he is not taking on anyone at the moment. I will see if there are other possibilities from my French connections.I do know that the particular student I know has had some success, although I am not at liberty to say any more.I didn't mention the other groups because I know nothing of them personally. My primary focus and authority lies within the Eglise Gnostique - Martinism (&c.) - Memphis-Misraïm stream of French origination, although I have many connections to parallel and later groups.Que Dieu nous bénisse,+P

I applaud your tenacity GOR ... any information on the former students of Caro and FAR+C or any surviving remnants of the teaching that can be brought forward is welcome.If Tau Vincent or Kamala Jnana or anyone else out there has any information that can help us to connect with the folks who have kept knowledge of the "Cinnabar Path" preserved, I invite you to share hints and clues or whatever you can.Has anyone written to Daniel Caro lately? Does anyone know if he speaks English? The books that he may make available, are they also all in French?

To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to have found this page, and to know what happened with FAR+C after the death of Roger Caro. I am not interested in alchemistry as such, but in the knighthood "Roux de Lusignan" as part of the Order of which I am since 1975 a "Chevalier Grand de Merit FARC". The FAR+C may have disappeared after the death of Roger Caro, but not the "Templar lineage Roux de Lusignan", in this I pursue Pierre Phoebus (Roger Caro) 's work, as found on my website as a "Memorial" to him:
www.haguratelier.com/FARC.html

I keep the nomination "Ordre Souverain des Frères Aînés Rose + Croix" in honour of Pierre Phoebus, to further the Knighthood lineage "Roux de Lusignan", whose knights have to observe:

Simplicity - Charity - Obeissance:

Love your neighbour more than yourself - be humble, charitable, and obedient to the ONE truth.

This means that all established religious beliefs, humanist and occult societies, gnostics, unbelievers, all are welcome, providing they observe humbliness (simplicity) - charity - obeissance to the ONE truth, the unity of all life.

In all this, is the emphasis laid on character building and spiritual (inside) development as a foundation for the development of all the faculties inherent in man (microcosm) as in the macrosmosm.

Let us have the strong determination to penetrate within the veil, and to find out what lies on the other side of the unknown.

Yours in the One,
+ Philippus-Laurentius De Coster

Greetings all.

The only person whom has properly identified themselves here is:Philippe Laurent De Coster, B.Th., D.DGiven all the various anonymous postings over the years concerningTemple of Ajunta, AMS and FAR+C .. at Yahoo groups and alt.magick it must be noted that only TWO persons I know of whom have openly identified themselves as having a connection to FAR+C are Bishop de Coster and Jean Ruggiu of Paris.I personally do not accept postings from persons whom do notidentify themselves. Nor do I advise any person to accept postingsfor any person regarding FAR+C unless they can validate their lineageas a prerequisite.All else should be considered disinformation, spam and that witha political agenda.- Jean de Cabalis

Oh and of course

+Phillip A. Garver (aka Tau Vincent II) of the FAR+C has identified himself

these postings are a few years old and he likely has learnt a lot more concerning FAR+C since his 2006 posting
