Rosicrucian beliefs have been variously described as gnostic, occult and cabalistic, based on the order’s belief that true knowledge of the universe can only be acquired by an elect few.

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum is carefully organized to give the general public a totally false impression of the fl African ancestors and their society.
