The Rosicrucian Garden in San Jose, California is a wonderful space tucked behind the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum. Surrounded by pomegranite trees and art of symbolic significance, the garden dedicates one area to Pythagoras. There stands a statue of the philosopher pointing to the heavens and below to earth, the material world. The sculpture itself sits in the center of a six-pointed star and directly between two columns, offering more layers of symbolism.

I guess it's now just up to the individual to figure some of these things out. As it has always been, some things need to be discovered on our own; they seem to have more power that way. At least that's how it's worked for me.

I don't think it's obvious to them that they are against self-power. They just don't know what power is. Thanks for the curation!
