Greetings in the Luminous Light of Martinism!

  

As Rosicrucians, especially if you are active in an Affiliated Body, you have probably heard of the Traditional Martinist Order, a mystical path that complements the teachings we find in Rosicrucianism. 

 

Because of this, we are often asked what is the difference between the two Orders - the TMO and AMORC?

 

One perspective is that, in the TMO, which is considered the Way of the Heart, the emphasis is on prayer and meditation; and the teachings of Louis Claude de Saint Martin and Jacob Boehme. 

 
In AMORC, there is more time spent on understanding the Natural Laws that govern our existence in this world; as well as experimentation so that we learn to actually work with these laws rather than just learn about them. 

 

In both Orders, there is no dogma - we are given the tools to discover for ourselves what is Truth. 

 

If you feel at all drawn to the TMO, the Way of the Heart, and its focus on prayer and meditation; and have not yet received the Associate Degree Initiation, we would like to remind you that this is the time of year when Heptads and Ateliers throughout the world confer this powerful Initiation, which allows you to attend the Ieschouah Ceremony in a Heptad – the most important gathering in the Martinist Tradition – which takes place just before the Winter Solstice each year.    

  

This Initiation also allows you to begin studying the Martinist Teachings in a Heptad or Atelier.   

  

You can find a schedule of upcoming initiations and classes here: Martinist Initiations and Classes

  

If you do not see an initiation or class listed in your area, please email us at tmo@rosicrucian.org and we will arrange for an officer of the nearest Heptad or Atelier to contact you. 

  

To offer you a sense of what you might experience in your Heptad or Atelier work, below are reflections on the Martinist experience:  

  

 

"Martinism is truly the Way of the Heart, and its intimate spirituality and mysticism have perfectly complemented my AMORC studies, and have drawn me closer to my life-long spiritual practice. 

At the heart of Martinism, the Way of the Heart, I was delighted to find the age-old practice of the Prayer of the Heart, which continues to lead me deeper within, seeking Divine Wisdom who is in all of our Hearts, waiting for us. 

 

Through Martinism, I have learned this truth that the Unknown Philosopher taught centuries ago, and which I know to be true through the Path provided by the Order: "The only initiation which I advocate and which I look for with all the ardor of my Soul, is that by which we are able to enter into the Heart of God within us, and there make an Indissoluble Marriage, which makes us the Friend and Spouse of the Repairer … there is no other way to arrive at this Holy Initiation than for us to delve more and more into the depth of our Soul and to not let go of the prize until we have succeeded in liberating its lively and vivifying origin." 

  

 

In the beautiful, inspiring and moving Martinist Rituals in the Heptad, I have found a true home, and have made many lasting spiritual friendships with my Sisters and Brothers. 

In gratitude for all of these things, I invite you to begin your journey on the Way of the Heart." 

  

- Steven Armstrong 



"As a member of AMORC and the Traditional Martinist Order for over 35 years, I can honestly say that these organizations have had the single largest positive impact on my life of anything I have ever participated in. 

 

If you are thinking of joining TMO or are a new member, please know that the articulate and detailed study offered in the discourses and at the heptads and ateliers is so thorough and unique, I am sure you will discover many valuable pieces of the puzzle of your mystical journey, just as I did." 

  

- Louis Rutan, 

  

  

"Martinism taught me that humanity in its original state was a divine being, having fallen from this divine state due to lust for personal power and materialism.  As a Martinist, my desire is to return to that divine state through reintegration with the Divine and doing my best to be an agent of Omneity.  I learned to remain silent and unknown when assisting someone in need without expecting anything in return and to serve when called upon. This also means personal sacrifice which is truly humbling." 

 

- Marion Owens 

  

  

If you have any questions at all regarding your participation along the Martinist's Path, please contact us at any time at tmo@rosicrucian.org  

  

We look forward to welcoming you into the Light of Martinism!  

  

The Grand Heptad 

  

"People of peace, men and women of desire, such is the splendor of the Temple in which you will one day have the right to take your place. Such privilege should astonish you less, however, than your ability to commence building it down here, your ability, in fact, to adorn it at every moment of your existence. Remember the saying 'as above, so below', and contribute to this by making 'as below, so above'."   
Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin
