Robert Fludd, "an Oxford esoteric philosopher and one of the leading Rosicrucians... He published his thoughts about human consciousness and its relationship to
the macrocosm of divine creation in his spellbinding book, Utriusque Cosmi (Of this World
and the Other), in 1617-19." (Warner, Marina. (2003) In the Mind's Eye: Thought-Pictures and Ethereal Presences)
Robert Fludd, also known as Robertus de Fluctibus(1574, Bearsted, Kent - September 8, 1637, London) was a prominent English Paracelsian physician, astrologer, and mystic. He was not a member of the Rosicrucians, as often alleged, but he defended their thoughts in the Apologia Compendiaria of 1616.[1]

No one knows. Depending on who you believe the Rosicrucians either faded away around the turn of the 20th century (some sources say earlier) or they went so deeply underground that you will never find them again. Also there have, over the last couple hundred years or so, been a few dozen rosicrucian groups, all of which had their own sets of symbols, passwords and grips, of which no written record has ever surfaced.
Its entirely possible that the grips, like with the Masons, are not only decided by the lodge but change from time to time. So, there's probably never been one single grip.

Gnostocism flourished during the early years of Christianity and, in the view of some scholars, may have accounted for around half the Christian population. What was to become the dominant branch of Christianity, Catholic-Orthodox, persecuted Gnosticism out of existence in western Europe, although it continued in eastern Europe. The Cathars were a sect with strong Gnostic influences that re-established a presence in southern France in the twelfth century, but was once again eliminated by the Catholic Inquisition.
Modern Cathars claim to be survivors of that purge and to maintain original Cathar beliefs.
The Rosicrucians are a legendary and secretive order that appears to have been founded in the 15th century, the 17th century or perhaps the 18th century. While it probably can not be described as genuinely Gnostic, it does claim some Gnostic influence.

Agnosticism should not be confused with Gnosticism. The two words both come from the Greek word 'know', but for different reasons.
The word agnosticism contains the prefix 'a-', which means 'not'. So, an agnostic does not know whether there is a God.
Gnosticism was a major, early branch of Christianity, in which the believers, or Gnostics, sought to 'know' the truth about God, not just to have blind faith. The early Gnostic schools no longer exist, but some believe that the Rosicrucians still follow some of the early Gnostic principles.

The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC is not a cult. It is a fraternal order of women and men who study mysticism (and many topics related to it) and apply what they learn to the common good of humanity.
Members are equally as free to join as they are to leave the Order. They are asked to keep private certain experiences, but the "secrets" they posess can be found by any scholar or dedicated lay person with basic research skills.
The primary membership is private, with study at home lessons loaned to members as part of their membership along with journals and magazines. Group participation is totally voluntary. The cost of membership is very modest and covers a fraction of the costs of running the membership service functions. The Rosicrucian Order operates as a non-for profit organisation, with any surplus in funds being put back into delivering member services.
The Order has published rules to prevent it evolving into any form of dangerous cult. People attending Rosicrucian Groups will find sincere seekers for a happier, healthier and more peaceful life; but from time to time people will meet strong personalities in AMORC groups, in this case officers are trained to respond with firm kindness to prevent perversion of the groups purpose, which is to help members learn Rosicrucian ideals and principles in a supportive group environment.
If members, ex-members or family members have concerns they should raise them with the local office of the Order in their own country. Media, Scholars or those wishing to know more may freely contact the Order, by locating the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC or equivalent name in your language online or in telephone directories.
Summary of why AMORC is not a cult:
-People may join or leave freely
-There is no dogma proscribed
-Members are encouraged to practice the religion or philosophy that resonates with them (no one is expected to change their beliefs or worship)
-It proposes no pathway to salvation
-There are no messiahs, gurus, infallable leaders offered
-Self-knowledge and Self-Reliance are promoted
-What is taught by the Rosicrucians is not the thoughts of one person, but the accumulation of the wisdom of the ages
-It is a not for profit organisation
-People may accept or reject any of the things they are taught with AMORC
-Members are encouraged to develop their own philosophy of life and contribute as best they can to the uplifting of humanity in their community
-AMORC seeks to uphold human rights, dignity and freedoms and teach its members ways to attain a happy, healthy and peaceful life.
