Is the AMORC Rosicrucian Order a secret, mystical society? Well, I suppose it is, secret in the sense that once you get to the higher levels, you're not likely to discuss what you're learning because not too many will comprehend your new knowledge. Mystical in the sense that it involves spiritual dimensions, not magic or strange or disturbing behavior.
A 'perfecting' Rosicrucian (that's the preferred term, as opposed to just 'I'm a Rosicrucian) has an appetence toward the mysteries of the universe and things of a spiritual nature. Devotion to perfecting their philosophy and the realization that it is possible to learn the meaning of life are the primary motivators for continued study.

A 'perfecting Rosicrucian' is what the Rosicrucian Order (AMORC) prefers to call those who study the 'secret' or mystical teachings. Students are not to pretend they are a 'Rosicrucian' or 'Rosie-Croix'; because as students we are always learning. Perfecting Rosicrucians are just philosophical persons seeking wisdom, who hope to be wise enough to put what we learn into practice. At the rate of one Monograph (study lesson) per week, it takes several years to reach the top levels of of the Rosicrucian Order. We can't learn everything all at once. This author has only just begun on this path of knowledge and wisdom; and I simply wish to share my experiences with you.
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:
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.

One of the primary attractions of the Rosicrucian philosophy is the idea that we are free – free to decide who we are, what we will be, and how high we will soar. Although we will all face obstacles, various detours, and even some limits; it’s not really about whether we can or will achieve the impossible – it’s about the choices we make on our journey.
