"A remarkable man has passed away. Joost Ruben Ritman was a man with a mission, patriarch of a large and colorful family, an Amsterdammer through and through, a world citizen, a visionary. As an entrepreneur, lover of culture and art collector, Rosicrucian and founder of the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica, he built bridges between worlds and people. He had the ability to make the invisible visible and the impossible possible. Joost Ritman was generous, spirited, untamable, elusive and persistent. Guided by his inner compass, faithful to the love that conquers all, he was a passionate guardian of the freedom of the spirit.
“Everything is visible to who has mind. Who contemplates himself with his mind, knows himself, knows the All: the All is within man.” Hermes Trismegistus"
