[net.followup] Rosicrucian info

stevans (11/18/82)

My mother joined them for a while, and I have a friend who is currently
active.  They are basically a mystical literature society, concerned
with cosmic conciousness-raising, and self-improvement through understanding
their principles and by doing certain psychological exercises.  They will
send free info, but I believe you must pay to get at the heart of their
material.

Execises for the beginner include staring at yourself in a mirror by
candlelight until you start to look funny.  They have some sort of secrecy
requirements, which stop my friend from disclosing any more of their
practices to me.

All in all, not recommended to any save theologians and the extremely
gullible.
