Not only is it a Christian path, but it enables the striving human being to recognize that spiritual research and its achievements are in complete harmony with modern culture, and with modern humanity's whole outlook. It will for long centuries to come be the right method of initiation into spiritual life. When it was first inaugurated, certain rules were laid down for its adherents—rules that are basically still valid, and because they are strictly observed, Rosicrucians are not recognized by outsiders. Never to let it be known that one is a Rosicrucian is the first rule that only recently has been slightly modified. While the wisdom is fostered in narrow circles, its fruits should be available to all humanity. That is why until recently no Rosicrucian divulged what enabled him to investigate nature's secrets. Nothing of the knowledge was revealed; no hint was given theoretically or otherwise, but work was done that furthered civilization and implanted wisdom in ways hardly noticeable to others.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

So wie die alten heiligen Rishis, jene großen Lehrer des alten indischen Volkes, die wunderbare Methode ausgearbeitet haben, die heute noch immer für die Angehörigen des indischen Volkstums ihre Gültigkeit hat, so wie im Anfange des Christentums die christlich-gnostische Methode hinaufführen mußte in die geistigen Gebiete, so muß für den modernen Menschen, für den Menschen, der in unserer heutigen Umwelt lebt, wenn er ganz und gar dieser heutigen Welt angehört und aus dieser die Bedingungen seines Daseins schöpft, eine andere Methode die taugliche sei.
