The '''Rosicrucian Monographs''' or '''Home Study Lessons''' (as they are sometimes called by AMORC) were first written in the beginning of the [[20th century]] (before [[1930s]]) by [[Harvey Spencer Lewis]], founder of [[Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis|AMORC]], and subsequently updated by his predecessors to stay current with advancements in science, language, and culture.

==Introduction==

The monographs are printed as small booklets but they are not available to the general public. Only members of certain Rosicrucian orders may have access to these documents. Their content is considered confidential.

Although at first the monographs were exclusive to AMORC, today they are also available by other Rosicrucian orders which began as "forks" from AMORC.

For example, the [[Confraternity of the Rose Cross]] (CR+C) says that it offers the old Lewis' monographs, without the newer modifications and updates by AMORC. The CR+C monographs include footnotes written by [[Gary L. Stewart]].

The monographs of [[AMORC]] have been updated with new discoveries, clarified to be better understood by today's people and modernised.

A description of the Rosicrucian Monographs available by [[AMORC]] is included in the AMORC's [[Mastery of Life]] document.

==AMORC's Rosicrucian Monographs==
Below is a brief description of what a '''[[Wiktionary:neophyte|neophyte]]''' will learn during his or her first ''five years'' of affiliation with AMORC.

These teachings are part of the '''Rosicrucian Monographs'''.

These are not the only subjects covered by the Rosicrucian system. The list contained here, which should be perceived as unofficial, is adapted from the ''Rosicrucian Home Study Lessons'' section of the Web version of the [[Mastery of Life]] published by the English Grand Lodge for the Americas.
