Temple Section

Having completed the lessons of the Neophyte section, you stand at an important milestone in your progress along the mystical-shmystical path. No longer a Neophyte, you are now ready to leave the Shlemazel and enter the Temple. Your studies in the Neophyte section established the foundation for the lessons of the Temple Degrees. You have been introduced to the various elements of the Rosconian system and had the opportunity to practice many of the principles presented through simple experiments. Now the Temple Degrees will further develop these elements, providing additional depth and practical applications of the principles.

While the essential Rosconian teachings are covered in the first five years, the exploration of universal laws is truly a lifelong study. As long as we live, we never stop learning. Therefore, the Rosconian lessons continue for many years beyond the Ninth Degree, providing you with even greater insights and exploration of the Rosconian principles and techniques.
