===In C.R.C.'s vault=== # Fra. I.A. Fra. Ch. electione Fraternitatis caput. [elected head of Fraternity]: possibly ''[[Johannes Valentinus Andreae|Iohann Andreae]] (1586–1654)?'' # Fra. G.V. M.P.G. # Fra. F.R.C. Junior haeres S. Spiritus [younger heir of the house of the holy spirit]: # Fra. F.B. M.P.A. Pictor et Architectus [painter and architect]: possibly ''[[Francis Bacon]] (1561–1626)?'' ''"Secundi Circuli"'' # Fra. P.A. Successor to Fra. I.O., Mathematicus # Fra. A. Successor to Fra. P.D. # Fra. R. Successor to Patris C.R.C., cum Christo Triumphantis [with Christ Triumphant] The enigmatic "Fra. F.R.C." in the vault (the "R.C." in the narrative, ''see above'') is mentioned as "heir"; this statement "younger heir of the house of the holy spirit" seems to provide evidence of the intimate relation to "Father C.R.", possibly meaning "Father R.C." [forming the C.R.C. initials]: *The poet [[Fernando Pessoa]] — known defender of [[Freemasonry|Masonic]] and [[Rosicrucianism|Rosicrucian]] ideals and possible Rosicrucian Initiate, as he states "Initiated from Master to Disciple in the three minor degrees of the (apparently extinct) Portuguese Templar Order" (Rosicrucians seem to have had a deep presence in Portugal, intermixed with Templar tradition, and with evidence in monuments and literature, from medieval times into the 20th century) — wrote an [[hermeticism|hermetic]] poem titled "[[wikisource:pt:No Túmulo de Christian Rosenkreutz|No Túmulo de Christian Rosenkreutz]]" [In the Tomb of C.R.C], which states in the final line/verse: "Our Father Rose-n-c[k]reuz [Rosaecruz] knows and keeps silent", which may attribute the whole key to the understanding of the "Fama" to the enigmatic character described as "R.C." or "F.R.C". *The sentence "''cum Christo Triumphantis''" [with Christ Triumphant] may imply that the central meaning of the "Fama" is to give an account of the final achievement into the "Great Work" (the [[Philosopher's Stone]] of the alchemists, or the [[Holy Grail]] of the Templars) by C.R.C., [[Christian Rosenkreuz]]. This seems to describe that the symbolism of the unification of the "Rose" and the "Cross" (Christian Rose Cross), in the Legend, implies the existence of a [[Christ]]ic state (Christ, ''the Light of the World''), which includes liberation from the cycle of [[reincarnation|births and deaths]], comparable and higher than the [[Buddhahood|Buddhic]] state (Buddha, ''the Light of Asia'') described in the eastern sacred literature. This "Christic" process and state is pointed by major [[occultist]]s as being described in some major Western literary works as the 14th-century ''[[Divine Comedy]]''<ref>Dante Alighieri in "The Divine Comedy: 3rd Cantica, Canto XXXI": ''«In fashion then as of a snow-white rose / Displayed itself to me the saintly host, / Whom Christ in his own blood had made his bride,»''</ref> or the 16th-century ''[[Os Lusíadas|The Lusiads]]'',<ref>Camões in "The Lusiads: Canto X": «''Makes you reward, baron, the Sapience / Supreme of, with the corporal eyes, / see what can not the vain science / of the wrong and miserable mortals''»</ref> and, it is also, to some extent, explained in the Rosicrucian literature known as ''[[Western Wisdom Teachings]]''.
