Council of Solace
The Council of Solace in this jurisdiction is composed of certain AMORC members recruited from
time to time who, under the authority of the Grand Master invoke Cosmic assistance for all those who
have requested help. Within the Council of Solace the principles of the Orders teachings concerning
health and metaphysics are applied during a specific period of attunement to assist anyone who asks for
Cosmic assistance. It should be clearly understood that neither the application of the mystical laws with
which the council operates, or the laws themselves have anything to do with magical practises or the
occult. The laws are based on natural principles and understandings which are fully disclosed to all those
who study the Rosicrucian teachings. Initiates have used these laws in this way since ancient times.As the
Councils work is of a deeply spiritual nature, it is always undertaken with great solemnity and following
a brief moment of heartfelt dedication to the service of humanity.
Requests to the Council of Solace are always kept completely confidential. Problems of a personal nature
and conditions of health form the most common petitions placed before the Council.The Council never
offers financial, legal, medical or other instructions, but only works on the metaphysical plane, making
contact with petitioners through the Cosmic rather than in person. It is for this reason that Rosicrucians
refer to the healing effects of the Council of Solace as being absent treatments; that is treatments that
take place at some distance away from the practitioner. Metaphysical forces operating through the vibratory
nature of all that exists within the Cosmic are directed by the Council of Solace towards those in need
without actual contact with the person having to be made. It is these Cosmic metaphysical forces which
bring the person into balance and harmony and restore health. While there is no limit to the capacity of
the Cosmic, our human frailties and failings can be a hindrances to the effectiveness of absent healing.
To gain greatest benefit from the activities of the Council of Solace, the petitioner should prepare for
their period of attunement with the Council of Solace. Drink a glass of water, symbolising the desire for
spiritual purification. Enter your sanctum and adopt a comfortable posture. To focus your attention, use
the small card Cosmic Law Fulfils which is sent to you when you write requesting assistance or may be
found inside your Liber 777 or Cosmic Guidance monographs. During your period of attunement with
the Council of Solace you should recall that around the world other Rosicrucians are also seated before
the Rosy Cross and directing spiritual energies to all who have requested assistance. Of course you do
not have to write to the Council to obtain assistance. You may attune with the accumulated spiritual
energies whenever you wish, receiving an influx of the most positive energies that the Council of Solace
can direct to humanity.
Throughout the world, at any one time, there are always Rosicrucians involved in the work of the
Council of Solace because of the global spread of the Order. Each Grand Lodge in every jurisdiction
performs this service for all Rosicrucians freely and without any thought of personal gain. You may
remember that according to the traditions of our Order recorded in the Fama Fraternitatus and dating
from about 1413, all Rosicrucians wherever they may go, must offer healing and cure freely without any
reward. The Council of Solace is one of the ways in which we maintain this obligation to our fellow
humans. Many Rosicrucians spend the first few minutes of their sanctum meditations in silent attunement
with the spiritual energies of the Rosy Cross. Send forth thoughts of health and harmony to all who are
in need, recalling that in doing so we are fulfilling obligations begun by followers of the Rosy Cross over
five centuries ago.
