_ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION FOR THE COMPANY OF HEAVEN_
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
1.) The company of heaven is unreservedly open to Thelemites.
There is no exclusion whatsoever based upon grounds of sex, race,
age, religion, social or economic status, national origin,
tradition, or culture. The organization is democratic rather
than hierarchical in accordance with the principle, "Every man
and every woman is a star", and there is no leadership as such.
2.) The company of heaven respects the sovereign true will of
every member. There is a strong emphasis on Tolerance of the
equal rights of all members.
3.) The company of heaven is a non-religious and non-profit-
making federation which does not ask for money. When numbers
allow, an information service or newsletter may be produced for
the benefit of members, which will then be offered for voluntary
subscription at a reasonable rate in order to recover costs.
4.) The signature of each member accepting the law of Thelema
does not commit him or her to anything else at all. No other
oaths or vows are required. If they wish, individuals are also
free to revoke their membership and to be responsible for the act
to no one but themselves.
5.) Optional _ad hoc_ activities amongst members remain the
responsibility solely of the participants at any such meetings.
6.) Unnecessary secrecy without good cause is frowned upon;
therefore members of the company of heaven should not object if
their Names (although not their personal details, such as
address, phone numbers, etc, unless confirmed) are "unveiled".
7.) Members can worship the universe within us and without us
with Beauty and Love, in an infinite variety of ways.
8.) The members of the company of heaven encourage one another
in the accomplishment of the Great Work: the balanced discovery
within themselves of their own true will and identity; the nature
and meaning of "external existence.
9.) The company of heaven encourages a more ecologically
responsible use of the Earth's natural resources and the
evolution of a collective global awareness in the preparation for a
future period of Truth and Justice.
10.) The company of heaven also seeks to cultivate the
consciousness of the continuity of existence: the intrictae and
holistic inter-relationship of members with other human beings,
life forms, and energies; the Earth; the Sun; other planets,
stars, galaxies; and the universe as a whole, including _extra_-
or _praeter_- human intelligences.
11.) The company of heaven is affiliated to the A.'.A.'..
