What is the A.'. A.'.?
======================

Interesting excerpts:

It is the most hidden of communities, yet it contains members 
from many circles; nor is there any Centre of Thought whose 
activity is not due to the presence of one of ourselves.  From 
all time there has been an exterior school based on the interior 
one, of which it is but the outer expression.  From all time, 
therefore, there has been a hidden assembly, a society of the 
Elect, of those who sought 

[...]

The interior Order was formed immediately after the first 
perception of man's wider heritage had dawned upon the first of 
the adepts; it received from the Masters at first-hand the 
revelation of the means by which humanity could be raised to its 
rights and delivered from its misery.  It received the primitive 
charge of all revelation and mystery; it received the key of 
true science, both divine and natural.  

[...]

Faithful to the spirit of truth, the members of the interior 
Order live in silence, but in real activity.  

Yet, besides their secret holy work, they have from time to time 
decided upon political strategic action.  

[...]

This school of wisdom has been for ever most secretly hidden 
from the world, because it is invisible and submissive solely to 
illuminated government.  

It has never been exposed to the accidents of time and to the 
weakness of man, because only the most capable were chosen for 
it, and those who selected made no error.  

[...]

But all exterior societies subsist only by virtue of this 
interior one.  As soon as external societies wish to transform a 
temple of wisdom into a political edifice, the interior society 
retires and leaves only the letter without the spirit.  It is 
thus that secret external societies of wisdom were nothing but 
hieroglyphic screens, the truth remaining inviolable in the 
Sanctuary so that she might never be profaned.  

[...]

It is a society which unites superior strength to its own, and 
counts its members from more than one world.  It is the society 
whose members form the republic of Genius, the Regent Mother of 
the whole World.

IT is necessary, my dear brothers, to give you a clear idea of 
the interior Order; of that illuminated community which is 
scattered throughout the world, but which is governed by one 
truth and united in one spirit.  

This community possesses a School, in which all who thirst for 
knowledge are instructed by the Spirit of Wisdom itself; and all 
the mysteries of nature are preserved in this school for the 
children of light.  Perfect knowledge of nature and of humanity 
is taught in this school.  It is from her that all truths 
penetrate into the world; she is the school of all who search 
for wisdom, and it is in this community alone that truth and the 
explantation of all mystery are to be found.  It is the most 
hidden of communities, yet it contains members from many circles;
nor is there any Centre of Thought whose activity is not due to 
the presence of one of ourselves.  From all time there has been 
an exterior school based on the interior one, of which it is but 
the outer expression.  From all time, therefore, there has been 
a hidden assembly, a society of the Elect, of those who sought 
for and had capacity for light, and this interior society was 
the Axle of the R.O.T.A.  All that any external order possesses 
in symbol, ceremony, or rite is the letter expressive outwardly 
of that spirit of truth which dwelleth in the interior Sanctuary.  
Nor is the contradiction of the exterior any bar to the harmony 
of the interior.  

Hence this Sanctuary, composed of members widely scattered 
indeed but united by the bonds of perfect love, has been 
occupied from the earliest ages in building the grand Temple 
(through the evolution of humanity) by which the reign of L.V.X.  
will be manifest.  This society is in the communion of those who 
have most capacity for light; they are united in truth, and their 
Chief is the Light of the World himself, V.V.V.V.V., the One 
Anointed in Light, the single teacher for the human race, the Way, 
the Truth, and the Life.  

The interior Order was formed immediately after the first 
perception of man's wider heritage had dawned upon the first of 
the adepts; it received from the Masters at first-hand the 
revelation of the means by which humanity could be raised to its 
rights and delivered from its misery.  It received the primitive 
charge of all revelation and mystery; it received the key of 
true science, both divine and natural.  

But as men multiplied, the frailty of man necessitated an 
exterior society which veiled the interior one, and concealed 
the spirit and the truth in the letter, because many people were 
not capable of comprehending great interior truth.  Therefore, 
interior truths were wrapped in external and perceptible 
ceremonies, so that men, by the perception of the outer which is 
the symbol of the interior, might by degrees be enabled safely 
to approach the interior spiritual truths.

But the inner truth has always been confided to him who in his 
day had the most capacity for illumination, and he became the 
sole guardian of the original Trust, as High Priest of the 
Sanctuary.  

When it became necessary that interior truths should be enfolded 
in exterior ceremony and symbol, on account of the real weakness 
of men who were not capable of hearing the Light of Light, then 
exterior worship began.  It was, however, always the type or 
symbol of the interior, that is to say, the symbol of the true 
and Secret Sacrament.  

The external worship would never have been separated from 
interior revel but for the weakness of man, which tends too 
easily to forget the spirit in the letter; but the Masters are 
vigilant to note in every nation those who are able to receive 
light, and such persons are employed as agents to spread the 
light according to man's capacity and to revivify the dead 
letter.  

Through these instruments the interior truths of the Sanctuary 
were taken into every nation, and modified symbolically 
according to their customs, capacity for instruction, climate, 
and receptiveness.  So that the external types of every religion,

worship, ceremonies and Sacred Books in general have more or 
less clearly, as their object of instruction, the interior 
truths of the Sanctuary, by which man will be conducted to the 
universal knowledge of the one Absolute Truth.  

The more the external worship of a people has remained united 
with the spirit of esoteric truth, the purer its religion; but 
the wider the difference between the symbolic letter and the 
invisible truth, the more imperfect has become the religion.
Finally, it may be, the external form has entirely parted from 
its inner truth, so that ceremonial observances without soul or 
life have remained alone.  

In the midst of all this, truth reposes inviolable in the inner 
Sanctuary.  

Faithful to the spirit of truth, the members of the interior 
Order live in silence, but in real activity.  

Yet, besides their secret holy work, they have from time to time 
decided upon political strategic action.  

Thus, when the earth was night utterly corrupt by reason of the 
Great Sorcery, the Brethren sent Mohammed to bring freedom to 
mankind by the sword.  

This being but partially a success, they raised up one Luther to 
teach freedom of thought.  Yet this freedom soon turned into a 
heavier bondage than before.  

Then the Brethren delivered unto man the knowledge of nature, 
and the keys thereof; yet this also was prevented by the Great 
Sorcery.  

Now then finally in nameless ways, as one of our Brethren hath 
it now in mind to declare, have they raised up One to deliver 
unto men the keys of Spiritual Knowledge, and by His work shall 
He be judged.  

This interior community of light is the reunion of all those 
capable of receiving light, and it is known as the Communion of 
Saints, the primitive receptacle for all strength and truth, 
confided to it from all time.  

By it the agents of L.V.X. were formed in every age, passing 
from the interior to the exterior, and communicating spirit and 
life to the dead letter, as already said.  

This illuminated community is the true school of L.V.X.; it has 
its Chair, its Doctors; it possesses a rule for students; it has 
forms and objects for study.  

It has also its degrees for successive development to greater 
altitudes.  

This school of wisdom has been for ever most secretly hidden 
from the world, because it is invisible and submissive solely to 
illuminated government.  

It has never been exposed to the accidents of time and to the 
weakness of man, because only the most capable were chosen for 
it, and those who selected made no error.  

Through this school were developed the germs of all the sublime 
sciences, which were first received by external schools, then 
clothed in other forms, and hence degenerated.  

According to time and circumstances, the society of sages 
communicated unto the exterior societies their symbolic 
hieroglyphs, in order to attract man to the great truths of 
their Sanctuary.  

But all exterior societies subsist only by virtue of this 
interior one.  As soon as external societies wish to transform a 
temple of wisdom into a political edifice, the interior society 
retires and leaves only the letter without the spirit.  It is 
thus that secret external societies of wisdom were nothing but 
hieroglyphic screens, the truth remaining inviolable in the 
Sanctuary so that she might never be profaned.  

In this interior society man finds wisdom and with her All --- 
not the wisdom of this world, which is but scientific knowledge, 
which revolves round the outside but never touches the centre 
(in which is contained all strength), but true wisdom, 
understanding and knowledge, reflections of the supreme 
illumination.

All disputes, all controversies, all the things belonging to the 
false cares of this world, fruitless discussions, useless germs 
of opinions which spread the seeds of disunion, all error, 
schisms, and systems are banished.  Neither calumny nor scandal 
is known.  Every man is honoured.  Love alone reigns.  

We must not, however, imagine that this society resembles any 
secret society, meeting at certain times, choosing leaders and 
members, united by special objects.  All societies, be what they 
may, can but come after this interior illuminated circle.  This 
society knows none of the formalities which belong to the outer 
rings, the work of man.  In this kingdom of power all outward 
forms cease.  

L.V.X. is the Power always present.  The greatest man of his 
times, the chief himself, does not always know all the members, 
but the moment when it is necessary that he should accomplish 
any object he finds them in the world with certainty ready to 
his hand.  

This community has no outside barriers.  He who may be chosen is 
as the first; he presents himself among the others without 
presumption, and he is received by the others without jealousy.  

It if be necessary that real members should meet together, they 
find and recognize each other with perfect certainty.  

No disguise can be used, neither hypocrisy nor dissimulation 
could hide the characteristic qualities which distinguish the 
members of this society.  All illusion is gone, and things 
appear in their true form.  

No one member can choose another; unanimous choice is required.  
Though not all men are called, many of called are chosen, and 
that as soon as they become fit for entrance.

Any man can look for the entrance, and any man who is within can 
teach another to seek for it; but only he who is fit can arrive 
within.  

Unprepared men occasion disorder in a community, and disorder is 
not compatible with the Sanctuary.  Thus it is impossible to 
profane the Sanctuary, since admission is not formal but real.  

Worldly intelligence seeks this Sanctuary in vain; fruitless 
also will be the efforts of malice to penetrate these great 
mysteries; all is indecipherable to him who is not ripe; he can 
see nothing, read nothing in the interior.  

He who is fit is joined to the chain, perhaps often where he 
thought least likely, and at a point of which he knew nothing 
himself.  

To become fit should be the sole effort of him who seeks wisdom. 

But there are methods by which fitness is attained, for in this 
holy communion is the primitive storehouse of the most ancient 
and original science of the human race, with the primitive 
mysteries also of all science.  It is the unique and really 
illuminated community which is absolutely in possession of the 
key to all mystery, which knows the centre and source of all 
nature.  It is a society which unites superior strength to its 
own, and counts its members from more than one world.  It is the 
society whose members form the republic of Genius, the Regent 
Mother of the whole World.

spiritual evolution of humanity.  The goals of the A.'.A.'. are 
those which have motivated spiritual exploration and religious 
inquiry throughout human history.  Its methods are those of 
science; its aims are those of religion.

It is the Arcanum Arcanorum, and the Holy of Holies wherein the 
Sacred Ark rests inviolate. Every legitimate magical order, 
mystery school, religion, or other agency disseminating some 
portion of Wisdom or Light is or has been but an Outer Vehicle 
of this Inner Fellowship of Light. "All words are sacred and all 
prophets true; save only that they understand a little..." 
(Liber Legis, I:56).

This is the highest and purest meaning of A.'.A.'..

More commonly, however, we use the name A.'.A.'. to mean not 
only this Invisible and Eternal Order, but a particular outer 
structure, or terrestrial incarnation of the Interior School, 
which came into being, beginning in 1906 C.E., at the hands of 
two Adepts named Aleister Crowley and George Cecil Jones. This 
Order survives today through various authentic lineages which 
can be traced back to these two Adepts.


::: LINEAGES OF THE A.'.A.'. ::: 

Since the death of Aleister Crowley in 1947 there have been no 
universal Chiefs of the A.'.A.'. Karl Germer (S.'.H.'. Frater 
Saturnus, 8=3), was the senior living A.'.A.'. member at 
Crowley's death, and many turned to him for guidance; but he 
never took up the mantle of governance of the Order. After 
Germer's death, no single person emerged visibly as a central 
guiding figure.

Yet the Order itself has continued, according to its original 
plan whereby a member of sufficient Grade may admit others to 
the chain.

Various lineages have survived. Claims are periodically 
encountered that one individual or another is an authentic link 
to A.'.A.'.  Some of these claims are quite real; some are 
honest mistakes; and some are fraudulent.  It is not our present 
purpose to play arbiter to these claims, to upraise one or knock 
down another.  It is a universal truth of Initiation that each 
student, at each step along the way, gets the teacher he or she 
"deserves," based on the real maturity and needs of the soul; 
and that while sometimes spiritual growth is fostered by finding 
the BEST teacher, at other times it is best fostered by lessons 
of discrimination taught in the School of Hard Knocks.

In this matter we give but one sage piece of advice: "By their 
fruits shall ye know them!"  The Works of the Adept, the fruits 
of his or her garden, are the signs of his or her attainment.

Let it be enough, therefore, that we say that the founder of the 
College of Thelema is one valid link in the chain of A.'.A.'. 
initiation; and that other valid links exist and can be found. 


::: ADMISSION AS A PROBATIONER ::: 

From its beginning, the A.'.A.'. philosophy supported the 
admission of any interested person soever into the instruction 
and practice of Scientific Illuminism. In other words -- in the 
earliest years -- anyone at all could write to the A.'.A.'. and 
request an interview with a Neophyte who (all things proceeding 
agreeably to the applicant) would admit the individual as a 
Probationer (0=0 Grade) forthwith.

Unfortunately, this complete "open door" policy resulted in a 
very high percentage of failures. By early 1912 it was found 
necessary to make a change in the admission requirements. It was 
thus ordered "that every person wishing to become a Probationer 
of A.'.A.'. must first pass three months as a Student of the 
Mysteries."  A specific study and testing curriculum was 
established for this Student period.

However, although Aleister Crowley inaugurated this Studentship 
in 1912, and gave examination in it as late as 1945 (about two 
and a half years before his death), there is little evidence 
that he paid much attention to it, in that form, during the 
intervening 33 years.  Instead, he tried numerous ways of 
preparing people to undertake the Probationer Grade of A.'.A.'.
He moved from one approach to the next, apparently adapting each 
to the needs of a particular student as best he could.

Many years ago, this same approach was adopted by the Soror 
Estai lineage.  While each applicant is required to pass through 
a formal Student period, many avenues are accepted for 
accomplishing this.  (For clarity, we should mention that 
beginning with Probationer, the administration of the A.'.A.'. 
Grades is strictly by the criteria established by Aleister 
Crowley and George Cecil Jones. It is only in the Student, or 
preparatory, stage that such broad variation is practiced.) 

Any sincere aspirant seeking to affiliate with the A.'.A.'. as 
a Probationer may write to:

College of Thelema 
222 North Manhattan Place 
Los Angeles, CA 
90004-4018.

For further information, the principles, teachings, and 
structure of the A.'.A.'. can be investigated in the various 
writings of Aleister Crowley; in numerous articles in the 
journal In the Continuum; and in the book The Mystical & Magical 
System of the A.'.A.'., published by the College of Thelema.  
Additionally, background information is available from: 

http://www.crl.com/~thelema/aa.html 


::: A.'.A.'. Student Programs ::: 

Today, the Soror Estai A.'.A.'. lineage adheres to the basic 
requirement that "every person wishing to become a Probationer 
of A.'.A.'. must first pass three months as a Student of the 
Mysteries," and pass examination therein.

We formally note that The Master Therion employed, over the 
years, many different approaches to this task, "to help people 
along in the early stages of the work, even if there was no hope 
of their turning out first-class."  We have done the same.  We 
recognize three or four forms of the Student task, each an 
avenue of approach to the Probationer Grade.

First, we recognize the original Student program, published in 
The Equinox and quoted, in full in Chapter 1 of The Mystical & 
Magical System of the A.'.A.'.  A Student can get the assigned 
books, study them, and take examination.

Also, we recognize the successful completion of Course I of the 
College of Thelema as fulfillment of the Student requirement.

Similarly, passage through the First Order of the Temple of 
Thelema satisfies the Student requirement. This is primarily 
because a person who completes the First Order will, in the 
course of their work, have completed the whole of C.O.T. 
Course I.

Additionally, there is an occasional individual whose personal 
study and life experience are clearly equivalent to any of the 
foregoing.  Such a seeker may be admitted as a Probationer 
without further requirements.  However, such individuals are 
rare; and we have observed that, generally where a Probationer 
has been admitted on this basis and has passed on to other 
grades, they have gone back and undertaken one or more of the 
other offered programs as well.  This kind of behavior is not 
at all surprising, considering the character type of those

COLLEGE OF THELEMA 
================== 

::: INTRODUCTION ::: 

Founded in service to the A.'.A.'. in the early 1970's CE by 
Soror Meral, the College of Thelema seeks to guide the student 
to an understanding of the Law of Thelema.  Most especially, 
this means a deeper understanding of oneself and of one's True 
Will -- "Every man and every woman is a star" Liber Legis, I:3 

For over twenty years, the College of Thelema has continued to 
grow and expand, while ever maintaining its high standards of 
excellence and quality in Thelemic education.  Originally 
composed of one individual campus headed by Soror Meral, the 
College of Thelema now has several locations throughout the 
United States, Canada and Europe, with a growing faculty of 
experienced and dedicated individuals.

From the main campus in Oroville, California, Soror Meral has 
continually published the bi-annual journal In the Continuum, 
which features important (and rare) writings by Aleister 
Crowley, as well as original research and other material.  
All back and current issues are available.

A personal teacher is assigned to each student.  Successful 
completion of Course I is one way to fulfill the A.'.A.'. 
Student requirement.  A combination of instruction techniques is 
employed, including seminars and classes, written texts, and 
individual work.  The organization of the College is designed 
with the individual student in mind.  Once enrolled, the student 
works at her own pace, within a two-year time period.  The 
student is expected to determine how much personal instruction 
she requires, and take the initiative to seek out that 
instruction by maintaining contact with her teacher and 
attending classes and seminars.

The College of Thelema is suitable for serious students who wish 
to study Thelema and apply themselves actively to the Great 
Work, while working at their own pace and providing their own 
level of structure and schedule.


::: GENERAL INFORMATION ::: 

Experience has shown that teaching done in a classroom or on an 
individualized, one-on-one basis is much more effective than any 
correspondence course can possibly be.  Hence, the College 
requires inperson contact with students.  A minimum amount of 60 
class hours must be accumulated in order to complete each 
Course, and these hours may be acquired through attendance at 
classes, seminars, and personal instruction.

Should the student prove competent, and should she desire it, 
she may request admission into A.'.A.'. after successful 
completion of Course I.  If accepted, she may affiliate through 
that Initiate in her vicinity, or with the teacher who appeals 
to her the most.

The College of Thelema holds high standards of excellency in 
both its teachers and students.  All teachers of the College are 
Initiates of A.'.A.'., and are bound to the Order and to Its 
precepts and philosophy as revealed in Liber AL vel Legis, and 
through the work of TO MEGA THERION, the Prophet of the Aeon of 
Horus.  The College is autonomous, and is not affiliated with 
any other organization other than A.'.A.'.  The faculty of the 
College serve without personal pay in the great tradition of A.'.
A.'.; any fees requested scarcely cover the cost of materials 
and operation.  The College reserves the right to expel from its 
faculty and otherwise discipline any teacher who fails to live 
up to the Policies of the College as stated, and to the great 
principles of A.'.A.'.


::: ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS ::: 

Following is an outline of the minimum requirements which must

astrology, and magick.

Once enrolled, the Student has two years to complete the Course. 
If, at the end of this period, the Student has not completed 
the course work but would like to remain enrolled, extensions 
can be granted for an additional fee.  Other than the two year

responsible for keeping in contact, for arranging individual
