Introduction
■
Soon after the reestablishment of the Rosicru'
cian Order in America for its present cycle, hun'
dreds of the members petitioned the Supreme Offi'
cers for special information relative to the applica'
tion of the Rosicrucian principles to business
affairs.

Rosicrucianism, as presented by the
in America and other lands today, is a practical
philosophy, a science of demonstrable laws. The
Rosicrucians were always practical men and wee
men, laboring with nature's laws for the sole pur'
pose of improving their own, and others1 lives here
on earth, now. Hence the Rosicrucians had naught
to do with speculative philosophies, hypothetical
problems, and fantastic theories. They worked in
their laboratories, solving the chemical and physi
cal mysteries of the material world as well as con'
centtating in their sanctums on the development
of their personal, latent, dormant faculties.
According to the Rosicrucian standard of living,
each man and woman should attempt, by every
means that is ethical, moral and Cosmically ap'

proved, to succeed in life, enjoy health, happiness,
the material luxuries, and the comforts of physical
existence as well as seek to attain spiritual Peace
and attunement. In fact, the Rosicrucians have
ever held that to truly fulfill the mission of our
existence here on earth, and thereby carry out the
Divine Will, no man and no woman should slight
or negate the material or worldly obligations which
are bounden upon all of us, but master them, meet
them, and make an eminent success of our earthly
careers. This, say the Rosicrucians, will bring us
more truly in contact with the universal laws of
nature and attune us more consciously with the
universal scheme of things than living a life of
speculative abstraction or spiritual monasticism.
Every one of the Masters of the Great White
Brotherhood has devoted the larger part of his
earthly life to the application of his knowledge
for the alleviation of suffering, the advance
ment of learning, the promulgation of science, and
the achievement of worldly happiness and pros'
perity. Each has contributed to these elements of
our life by and through intimate contact with the
problems of our existence and association with men

and women struggling to live an exemplary life
of a "light on earth." None ever lost the human
touch, the companionship with his earthly breth'
ren, nor the opportunity to work out, in a material
way, the solution to man's actual physical prob
lems.
It is but natural, therefore, that students of the
Rosicrucian teachings would become imbued with
this practical standard of living, and seek more
information relating to the solution of their per'
sonal problems. The organization expected, and
even anticipated this, and glories in the fact that
with all the schools of speculative, abstract, urt'
practical philosophies operating today, the Rosicru'
dan Order once again shows its unique and distinct
place in the lives of humans by meeting a demand
more important and more useful in the pursuit of
health, happiness, and Peace than any other.
Among the most important problems facing men
and women today are those which relate to success
or prosperity in the business world. Success in
such matters does not always mean the attainment
of great wealth, although this is neither impossible
nor undesirable; nor do success and prosperity in
11
Rosicrucian Principles
business include a selfish heart and agreedy motive.
Most men and women in the business world to
—
day especially those who are of the type and mind
to become students of the Rosicrucian teachings-
are in business because they enjoy its activities,
seeking to contribute to the world's progression',
and desiring to meet their obligations, fulfilling
their duties, carrying on what seems to be their
mission in life, and enjoying sufficient prosperity
to be able to help others as well as help themselves.
Surely, no higher motive can actuate any being in
any endeavor or aspiration.
These persons deserve to succeed, for their sue
cess and prosperity in the business world will help
business generally and will bring happiness and
Peace to others. For this reason the Rosicrucian
Order realizes its own duty and obligation, and is
happy to aid and guide, to the best of its ability,
its members and friends in attaining success in
business matters.
To carry on such aid in a practical manner, it
was found necessary to establish a "Business Ad'
visory Bureau" of a national and international
character. With men and women well trained in
