Excerpt from The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception or Mystic Christianity: An Elementary Treatise Upon Man's Past Evolution, Present Constitution and Future Development Creed or Christ No man loves God who hates his kind, Who tramples on his brothers heart and soul; Who seeks to shackle, cloud, or fog the mind By fears of hell has not perceived our goal. God-sent are all religions blest; And Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life, To give the heavy-laden rest And peace from sorrow, sin, and strife. Behold the Universal Spirit came To all the churches, not to one alone; On Pentecostal morn a tongue of flame Round each apostle as a halo shone. Since then, as vultures ravenous with greed, We oft have battled for an empty name, And sought by dogma, edict, creed. To send our brothers to the flame. Is Christ then twain? Was Cephas. Paul, To save the world, nailed to the tree? Then why divisions here at all? Christ's love enfolds both you and me. His pure sweet love is not confined By creeds which segregate and raise a wall. His love enfolds, embraces human-kind, No matter what ourselves or Him we call. Then why not take Him at His word? Why hold to creeds which tear apart? But one thing matters, be it heard. That brother-love fill every heart. There's but one thing the world has need to know, There's but one balm for all our human woe; There's but one way that leads to heaven above - That way is human sympathy and love. Max Heindel.

Excerpt from The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception or Mystic Christianity: An Elementary Treatise Upon Man's Past Evolution, Present Constitution and Future Development Buddha, great, grand and sublime, may be the Light of Asia, but Christ will yet be acknowledged the Light of the World. As the sun outshines the brightest star in the heavens, dispels every vestige of darkness and gives life and light to all beings, so, in a not too distant future, will the true religion of Christ supersede and obliterate all other religions, to the eternal benefit of mankind.
