the entire collection of his written mystical books in French and the ones that have been  translated in English. Apart from Raymond's enriching and illuminating books and messages, I will be adding official biographies written by Serge Caillet andFrançois Goche and will also add my own testimony of a man and a mystic that I call my dearest friend... a friend that I had the privilege of being initiated by and later invited to become one of his closest disciple.

In my autobiography, I describe Raymond Bernard as "an Invisible Master" whom I refer to as 'John'. John is actually a pseudonym that I gave to Raymond Bernard to protect his identity from curious intruders. However, I am now allowed to use his real name. 

According to the Tradition, there are invisible masters who appear when the seeker is ready, attuned and in resonance with the master. An invisible master is an enlightened person who gradually reveals himself to seekers. To the outside world, of course, Raymond is simply the charming and good human being that he in fact is. 
I am grateful to Raymond for urging and encouraging me to upload his first English translated book on the internet, which is entitled :

"Messages from the Cathedral of the Soul" .
It is important to understand that the wisdom in all these 'messages'  goes beyond the Rosicrucian Order AMORC, or any other mystery school...or hermetic organization, because what Raymond has to say is his way of expressing pure Wisdom, which is the same in all authentic traditions; moreover, the Source of Wisdom belongs to no tradition in particular, it is open to the pure in heart and mind, simply because Wisdom is the Source of Being and Consciousness and from its center all the different traditions unfold and develop their expressions so as to illuminate and awake all seekers of Truth.

To Readers who are not members of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC

This book, originally published in installments, was written for members of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC. It has now been revised for wider circulation and, although the text has been neither modified nor adapted, some specific changes had to be made for readers not belonging to our organization. If they have no valid information on our Order, they may ask for literature, especially the free booklet entitled The Mastery of Life. That will help them to avoid hasty conclusions, and to understand better the terminology sometimes used by the author.

The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, is neither a sect nor a religious organization. It teaches no dogma. It proposes instead, solutions and bases for reflection. Its members always and in every regard retain their freedom, especially in thought and action, according to their own conceptions. Truth is one under many and diverse aspects. This book offers one of these aspects, and for some, it will be a step toward the truth buried in the depth of each being. For others, it will be the road toward the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC. For all, it is the simple attempt of an author to be obedient to the fundamental rule of the organization of which he is one of the highest officers, this rule being — to serve.

Raymond Bernard served as Grand Master of the Rosicrucian Order for France and French-speaking countries during the writing of this work. In his references to the Grand Lodge, he is speaking of the headquarters for that area. In later years he advanced to the office of Supreme Legate of AMORC for Europe.

Raymond Bernard is one of the leading esoteric philosophers and mystics of our time. Now completely retired, he was formerly an international leader and Grand Master of the Rosicrucian Order AMORC, and a founder of sacred initiatory and traditional school of mysticism (Rosicrucian, Martinism, Templar) for French-speaking countries. As an Elder Brother and mystic, Raymond has traveled extensively all over the world, to initiate and encourage seekers from every kind of background and denomination to help them find their own personal way of expressing the divine goodness in human nature. His books have been translated in many different languages. However, most of them have now been out of print . Very kindly Raymond Bernard gave me his authorization to gather and upload on to the internet
