catkind:  Personally, I'd find this much more interesting. Sorry if I sound
a bit confrontational here, Hans.  I'm genuinely interested in your posts
because I think there's things about the HP characters in there that would
make for interesting discussion if only I could figure out what you're
actually saying.  I wouldn't be replying otherwise.

We don't know what you believe unless you tell us, Hans.  You may 
believe it's the fundamental underlying truth of all things, but you 
still need to tell us what exactly you think this truth is before 
you can usefully compare it to Harry Potter. 

Hans:
Thank you for your encouragement. Once youve started something like this
its only fair to finish it, I believe. OK I shall do my best to explain it
to you in absolute terms with only the essential references to Christianity,
but using the Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross as the main
comparison. 

Just to be totally honest: I am a candidate to become a Rosicrucian one day
and so obviously I see things from that point of view. As a candidate for
membership my understanding is partial and flawed though.

This will take quite a lot of time and Ill have to ask for your patience.
It might take several weeks.

Its going to be extremely difficult not to bring (esoteric) Christianity
into it because the Rosicrucian manifestos of 1614-16 were explicitly
Christian.

The Fama Fraternitatis of 1614 states categorically: JESU MIHI OMNIA.
This is Latin for: Jesus means everything to me.
It also says:
Ex Deo Nascimur
In Jesu morimur
Per Spiritum Sanctum reviviscimus
(From God we are born,
in Jesus we die
through the Holy Spirit we are reborn).
This incidentally is the message of Harry Potter, as youll see in book 7.

The Confessio Fraternitatis of 1615 says (ch 10):
>From the beginning of the world there has not been given unto men a more
worthy, a more excellent, and more admirable and wholesome book than the
Holy Bible.

And please note that the First name of the hero in The Alchemical Wedding
of Christian Rosycross of 1616 is CHRISTIAN.

So much for Geoffs and Tonks claims that the Rosicrucians are heretics.

Meanwhile Ill continue my current series of characters as they are
finished. Otherwise Ill see you in a few weeks.

Thanks for your interest.
