Rosicrucian Third Stage: Incorporation into the Risen Christ
III STAGE - Incorporation into the Risen Christ] Finally, here is the last image when this stage is completed, here it is possible the incorporation into Christ which in Rosicrucian doctrines is identified as the true Philosophical Stone according to what Paracelsus says: "It is Christ, the God-Man who transfigures us just as the philosophical stone transmutes metals. [...] Through him and in him we rise like the rose and its fierce buds from the same seed, from the same sprout." - Paracelsus. Here in this figure is represented the Man who is glorified as adherent to the deified and glorified humanity of Jesus Christ. This is represented by a flaming star with the name of Christ and the symbol of resurrection represented by the Phoenix. Finally the Rose. The Rose in the Zohar represented the Messianic presence, in the Grail novels similarly it has often been the symbol of the Grail itself, the place that contains Christ's blood, that is, the divine life and presence. This suggests that the special content that these Rosicrucians wanted to bring into the world and on which they wanted to found a spiritual reform was a particular and special divine presence synthesized precisely by the Rose. The first Rosicrucian according to the Fama Fraternitatis dies in England. Precisely in England this movement spreads primarily in these years with Fludd and Maier but especially in the following years with Elias Ashmole, Robert Moray and the Royal Society. XI
