The short answer is yes.
The principles of Rosicrucianism have been on display recently; Oprah Winfrey has featured several prominent contributors of a
movement known as The Secret (see TheSecret.tv) on her program; and many people have purchased the movie and book by the same name. The Secret practices the Rosicrucian philosophy. Are all the Secret contributors AMORC Rosicrucians? Probably not, but I'm not sure. There is considerable positive buzz surrounding this newfound secret. Oprah says of The Secret, "You will begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that's within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life."
Jack Canfield, well known 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' author, and guest on the Oprah program says there are three steps to getting what you want:
- Be
very clear about what it is that you want
- Believe that you can get
it
- Be able to receive it.
This does not mean that you produce things out of thin air. What it does mean is that you can attract these things to you if you really want them. You, you will put yourself in situations which will cause the circumstances you desire to manifest themselves. You are that powerful! Your subconscious mind will actively work out the details.
But is this paganism, or is it hocus pocus, and is it incompatible with your religion? No. Can you mix Rosicrucianism/The Secret with religion? Yes.
