From 1909 to 1919, suffering a severe heart condition and with an adverse financial situation, but with an indomitable will and great energy, Max Heindel was able to accomplish the great work for the Brothers of the [[Rose Cross]]. With the help, support and inspiration of his wife Augusta Foss, to whom in August 1910 he was joined in marriage, he gave successful teaching lectures; he sent correspondence lessons to the students, who formed groups in many of the larger cities; he wrote volumes which are translated into many languages all over the world; he founded ''The Rosicrucian Fellowship'' in 1909/11 at [[Mount Ecclesia]], Oceanside (California); he published the Christian Esoteric magazine [[Rays from the Rose Cross]] in 1913 and, above all, he launched the Fellowship's Spiritual Healing service.

It is described that, at his death, his body dropped slowly as if loving hands were holding him and laying him down gently; as he looked up, smiling into Mrs. Heindel's face, he spoke his last words: "I am all right dear."

Last, it is worthy of mention that the work prepared by Max Heindel has since been continued through students of the Western Wisdom Teachings who, as [[Etheric body#Vital body in the Western Wisdom Teachings|Invisible Helpers]] of mankind, assist the Elder Brothers of the Rose Cross to perform the Spiritual [[Healing]] around the world. This is the special work in which the Rosicrucian Order is interested<ref>"Their agreement was this: First, That none of them should profess any other thing, then to cure the sick, and that gratis" in ''[[Fama Fraternitatis]]'', 1614.</ref> and is provided according to the commands of [[Christ]], namely, "Preach the gospel and heal the sick."
