I was somewhat acquainted with the Rosicrucian's before May of 2004. The group came up in various studies of eclectic fringe history I participated in. My settlement upon the Rosicrucians was the result of a very lengthy an arduous journey beginning when I was 16 years old, deep in the suburbs of Denver Colorado.

In the early 1990s the world was in a socio-political and spiritual transition. Never before and never again would I see such great energetic activity. During the early months of 1993 my entire worldview changed as a series if inexplicable and insane events occurred. I refer to this time as the Year of the Sparrows, my first year of freedom from the mundane.

It should be my duty, one day, to completely regress into that year and pull out all of the finer points that occurred. This is not the proper discourse for that, so I will do my best to summarize. I will only focus upon those events and practices that guided my direction toward the Rose Cross.

The primary outcome of the Year of the Sparrows was that I unknowingly became a mystic. The events of that year permanently shifted my otherwise mundane future into a deep-seeded desire to learn about how reality works. I became an avid student of philosophy, history, religion, and sociology. At a young 17 years old I regularly read history texts that had nothing to do with my schoolwork and I took in everything I could about the world religions.

The events that sparked this path were many. I was introduced to not only the supernatural in the form of ghosts and spirits, but I was also a participant in paranatural events. For many who've seen a ghost, their religion and philosophy is usually unharmed. One can be Christian and believe in ghosts. However, when one sees the whole spectrum of things not human, or even third dimensional, religion fails to explain it. I was in the presence of deities and creatures that were never a part of the physical realm. Some creatures could not even be described as the traditional definition of demons and angels. I played an active part in a paranatural conflict that began long before human civilization.

It wasn't until the late 1990s that I found information on what this conflict was. What I came to realize was that the cast in the small conflict were, in fact, only a small representation of the actual conflict. It was in a coffee shop that I first heard of the Illuminati and all of my studies and experiences made sense for every day to come.
