My Dearest Great Friend Raymond Bernard Founder Grand Master of the Sovereign  Initiatory Order of the Temple and Past Grand Master and former AMORC Legate to Europe and then the World went through transition on Tuesday, January the 10th, shortly before noon, in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, near Paris, France. Raymond Bernard served the invisible masters by spreading light to Rosicrucians, Templars, Martinists and mystics of other initiatic traditions, and to mankind in general, through his kindness and humility he was an example to others... through his sublime and unique way of teaching the Knowledge of Primordial Wisdom he knew how to point subtly the Way and be a catalyst to others, guiding them diligently through the Gate of the NO-PATH ... Raymond Bernard was an enlighten human being who with simplicity and his charismatic Presence knew how to attract many seekers and disciples of different cultures and disciplines... Together with him I have traveled much in numerous extraordinary journeys and initiatory expeditions... Raymond Bernard, who is "JOHN" in my autobiography is now and will always be Present in my heart and consciousness...
