| | Ellen,
Thank you so much for such a nice post (and being the one and only Ellen Stuttle)!
At the few meetings I went to in Brazil, and in the "monographs" that a member receives for weekly study (which is what you do formally as a Rosicrucian, the meetings are not required), Einstein was portrayed as having been an active member of AMORC (Ancient Mystical Order Rosæ Crucis ) - this is the official name for the Rosicrucian organization.
From the online copy of "The Mastery of Life" (the introductory booklet of AMORC) I just saw that Einstien was not listed:
Throughout history a number of prominent persons in the fields of science and the arts have been associated with the Rosicrucian movement, such as Leonardo da Vinci (1452 to 1519), Cornelius Heinrich Agrippa (1486 to 1535), Paracelsus (1493 to 1541), Francoiz Rabelais (1494 to 1553), Theresa of Avila (1515 to 1582), John of the Cross (1542 to 1591), Francis Bacon (1561 to 1626), Jacob Boehme (1575 to 1624), Rene Descartes (1596 to 1650), Blaise Pascal (1623 to 1662), Baruch Spinoza (1632 to 1677), Isaac Newton (1642 to 1727), Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1646 to 1716), Benjamin Franklin (1706 to 1790), Thomas Jefferson (1743 to 1826), Michael Faraday (1791 to 1867), Marie Corelli (1855 to 1924), Claude Debussy (1862 to 1918), Erik Satie (1866 to 1925) and Edith Piaf (1915 to 1963).
Now my own curiosity has been whetted. Give me a bit of time and I will do some research for you on this. I am sure that I saw this - with a drawing of his head, blurb and everything. It might have been on one of the first monographs or in one of the supplementary booklets that accompany it. Michael
