This opaque work is one of the few documents accepted as "authentically" Rosicrucian aside from the Fama Fraternitatis, the Confessio Fraternitatis, and The Chymical Wedding.
A gorgeous color edition in German is available online at the University of Wisconson History of Science and Technology digital collection. For easier viewing, these high-quality images have been collected in a pdf.
An English translation by the AMORC is available online at the Rose+Croix Journal resources page.
There are also several incomplete or altered versions of these figures floating around. The good folks at Celephais Press have duplicated Franz Hartmann's version with this comment:
The only thing I have to say in mitigation for preparing an e-text of this travesty of the Geheime Figuren is that the complete English translation is in copyright and I have no real desire to pick a fight with AMORC.

I know this was a long time ago, but since Megaupload has been closed down, in case anyone wants to take a look at Hartmann's travesty, it's been on Scribd for a few years: http://www.scribd.com/doc/3009925/
Thanks, I've updated the post.
