15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
About our meeting:
We will begin by exploring this inspiring text together to see what it brings up in us.
Our meeting last about an hour, and it is a sacred moment that is dedicated to alignment with our soul’s deepest purpose.
About our angle:
We see a distinction between our ‘old self’, with all its illusions, and a greater life rooted in the divine within us.
Our Gnostic belief is that everyone’s journey is about uncovering those illusions to find a place of stillness and sovereignty. We follow the principle that the divine resides in ourselves, guiding us on our path.
Therefore, our teaching is always a renewed call: to recognize and connect more closely to the divine within ourselves.
As the School of the Golden Rosycross, our purpose is to gather in meetings like this, moments that connect us to the highest goal of all: Soul liberation.
Our meetings are rooted in the heart; they form a space for friends who share a common soul-ground. This also means that everyone is welcome, regardless of background, whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist or any other faith or no faith. We come together as one universal religion in the love and peace that enriches every soul that resonates with it.
You can also find us in person in various locations across Sweden, Finland, and the rest of the world. You find more information on our front page.
