Rosicrucianism and Stoicism

Rosicrucianism and Stoicism–Grand Master Julie Scott, S.R.C., from the “Sacred Italy” issue of the Rosicrucian Digest. Julie Scott. S.R.C. serves as the Grand Master for the English Grand Lodge for the Americas, and as the Supreme Secretary of the Order. In the year 300 BCE, following a shipwreck in which he lost his fortune, Zeno, a merchant from modern-day Cyprus, founded Stoicism in Athens, Greece. Initially Stoicism included metaphysics, logic, and ethics, however the Romans, who embraced Stoicism centuries later, focused primarily on ethics and how to live a good and tranquil life. In this Podcast, Grand Master Julie Scott will discuss how Stoicism and Rosicrucianism have a lot in common.
