      Location: United Kingdom | I had kept off this thread as I know very little about Rosicrucians or Martinists (I read first, 'Martians'!); but Chotuni's post made me smile - I hope that was your intention, Chotuni, but if not, please forgive my insensitvity and accept my condolences.
But there is a humour to be found in the playful aspect of the Divine.
Back to the subject - as a Shakespeare fan I would be interested to hear the evidence against his authorship (he too may have been an enlightened soul, indeed I feel he was).
As for secret societies; another thread was talking a little about this. The NT indicates that Jesus may have had 'secret' teachings; in the past i think there was the idea that truth needed protecting - this is found in other traditions - but my understanding is that the world is in such a parlous state that 'it' - the world - and us, even - through us - needs as much help as it can get. And the more truth out there the better.
Rene Guenon in 1946 wrote a book called, 'The Signs of the Times', where he talked about time speeding up, or appearing to, and the outpouring of all potential, every which way, as the turning of the Age approached.

      Location: United Kingdom | After my previous post I checked, and old Rene is mentioned on 11 thread postings! Here is the oldest, in case anyone is interested, back from 2008 ... Chot never seemed to reply to Marty though ... and I had not posted anywhere near 4,000+ posts then either, so the Board's record keeping can be a little deceptive
