The
Winged Self
It's
Purpose & Symbology
The Winged Self
The
purpose of The Winged Self Symbol is to focus though in the inner Divine
perfection of each individual.
The Cross of
Light holds us in perfect equilibrium with its inflow and outflow of Cosmic
Energies, through the open ends of the arms.
The Cross balances us in
though and feeling and word. It is a Rosicrucian symbol used to identify one
with another when travelling in "Foreign
Countries".
In the inner
Planes the symbol is an identification, and those
marked with it can always be served with protection and guidance.
The
four arms of the Cross denote our four vehicles. Physical body, Vital body, Desire body and the
Mind.
These radiate from the center from which they manifest. They are located in the World of Life Spirit, the Home of the Christ.
The white
Rose at the center symbolizes the impersonal, selfless love of the Christ. Each
petal is a quality, or virtue unfolding in us.
The wings uplifted, beat
ever higher when we give and serve others. When wings are folded, they gain
strength by listening and receiving.
Such is
the experience of every soul upon the path.
May the
Winged Self serve to make straight the way of the Christ in our hearts and thus
herald a new and golden age in consciousness on
Earth!
Story Behind the Emblem
It was in the late 1930's through the secret Code know only
by a philosopher, Dr. Cunningham, that The Winged Self symbol was
discovered.
In an original, unedited version of the New Atlantis, by
Francis Bacon, and using the Code, Dr. Cunningham was able to interpreted a story of a vision.
THE VISION WAS A
CROSS OF LIGHT, WITH A WHITE ROSE AT THE CENTER. WINGS AT THE UPPER ARM SPREAD
OUTWARD AND UPWARD. AT THE LOWER ARM , TWO WINGS
WERE FOLDED.
Rev. Gene Sande and the leaders of
the NEW AGE BIBLE & PHILOSOPHY CENTER, agreed this
was to be their Rosicrucian Emblem. Afterward, an artist who was an esoteric
student come to them and offered to paint the symbol as a token of gratitude for
his enlightenment. Although he was well paid for his talent, and many expressed
appreciation, he disappeared from the area and was never seen
again.
Prayer
of the Winged Self
Our
God who art our Winged Self
It
is Thy will in us that willeth
It
is Thy desire in us that desireth
It
is Thy urge in us, that would
Turn
our nights, which are Thine
Into
days, which are Thine
also.
We
cannot ask Thee for aught
For
Thou knowest our needs
Before
they are born in us.
Thou
art our need
And
in giving us more of Thyself
Thou
givest all.

Kahlil Gibran
The Winged Self
from The New Atlantis
by
Francis Bacon
Lord God of heaven and
earth,
Thou hast vouchsafed of Thy
grace,
to those of our
order,
to know Thy works of
creation,
and secrets of
them...
I do here acknowledge and
testify before this people,
that the thing which we
now see before our eyes is Thy finger,
and a true miracle,
The
Winged Self!
And for as much as we learn in
our books
that Thou workest miracles but to a divine and excellent end,
we most humbly
beseech Thee to prosper this great sign,
and to give us the
interpretation and use of it in mercy;
which Thou didst in some
part secretly promise,
by sending it unto
us.

Correspondence
Courses
Esoteric
Philosophy
The
Rosicrucian Cosmos Conception
by Max Heindel, gives
a complete outline of the Western Teachings as far as it may be made public at
the present time.
These
are not elementary teachings. The aim of the book or the course is not so much
to impart information as it is above all else to serve a means for kindling
creative thought and bringing about a deepening and expansion of
consciousness.
Correspondence
lessons for home study are available, you may go as
quickly or as slowly as you care to. The twenty-three lessons in Esoteric
Philosophy are preparatory for the Bible Study ( if you
so desire). This course covers the laws of cause and effect, the life cycle of
man while in incarnation and also in the heaven worlds, the days of creation
and the grand plan for all mankind.
New
Age Bible Interpretation
Have
you ever wondered about the real meaning of the Bible? This course based on the
seven volumes of the New Age Bible Interpretation by Corinne Heline, and sixty-three lessons of supplemental material,
opens up a world of inner depth and meaning behind the symbols in which the
Bible is written. It teaches the history of the spiritual evolution of mankind
and tells of man's revelation of himself to himself as a spiritual being. This
course has the most comprehensive coverage of material ever to be found. As
Corinne Heline says, "The Bible is the supreme
spiritual textbook of life. It is above all creeds, dogmas and differences in
religious beliefs".
These
Correspondence Courses are offered on a free will donation basis. This does not
mean that they are free. But it does mean that every student is free to place
his own evaluation on them and to contribute toward the cost of their production
and distributionand to
further expansion as means permit and the heart inclines.
No
contribution is so small that it will not be gratefully received and blessed;
none so large that it cannot be profitably used in carrying forward the Christed Teachings of the New Day and in furthering the
establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth. Should you decide to become a
student, a secretary/teacher is assigned to you to
help guide you through the course.
Corinne
Heline
Born to the aristocracy of the Old South into the prominent Duke family, she received a classical and religious education that was to prepare her for her life work. She was a life-long student of the ancient mysteries devoting her time to study and meditation. The Rosicrucian Initiate , Max Heindel, became her teacher and associate at Mt. Ecclesia in Oceanside, California where she met another New Age pioneer, Theodore Heline who was to become her husband and to undertake the publication of the inspired writings that flowed through her. Her monumental work, The New Age Bible Interpretation, in seven volumes was followed by many other works interpreting the ancient wisdom in termsof the needs of the day. She was truly a New Age Pioneer , opening the way to vast new fields of investigation for those who would know and be a part of the coming world the Aquarian age. Her consciousness far transcended that of her day, and while she had physical plane teachers, her inspiration came from the immortals who overshadowed her, the greatest being our lovely lady, the Madonna who was the light of her life from early childhood.
