who cares that they're watching you? they just want to make sure you're not a creep or a religious nut or lazy. and that you have your own opinions.

He was in a consumer friendly mass produced order. The current state of the original is a mystery

Not really. The original Rosicrucian texts (Fama, Chymical, etc.) were likely authored by Johannes Valentinus Andreae and/or Heinrich Khunrath being HEAVILY influenced by Dee's Monas Hieroglyphica.

Dee likely provided the intellectual backbone while Bacon (possibly, if even only through tall tales) gave basic inception to the format of the Rosicrucian rituals later developed within Freemasonry.

The earliest identifiable initiatory organization was Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross formed in Germany during their proliferation of various para-Masonic orgs, like the Perfectibilits (aka the Bavarian Illuminati).
