Even as white light is dispersed by a prism into its constituent colours, we acknowledge that there is one spectrum of consciousness that constitutes an “imperceptible order,” an “eternal order,” or “the invisible order that has no name among men.”
We recognise that a system of ascending consciousness, which approximates this spectrum of consciousness, and has been established as a curriculum for those whose will it is to move upwards in frequency within the invisible array. This curriculum is commonly titled The Great White Brotherhood known as the A∴A∴.
The A∴A∴ is a spiritual Order dedicated to the advancement of humanity through individual progress through a graded system of attainment. The Order has a curriculum which it teaches and tests, and offers initiation to those who attain by its methods. This Order has existed in all ages and societies where men and women have sought truth, but has seldom been named or known.
The present Order was founded by Fratres O.M. (Aleister Crowley) and D.D.S. (George Cecil Jones) in 1907. Through the years the A∴A∴ has grown and developed along several branching lines or descent via a wide range of different initiates. The A∴A∴ in Albion is one such, and thus upholds the curriculum and traditions of the original Order while operating as an independent body.
The A∴A∴ is run along wholly spiritual lines and has no external structures, being based on the tradition of teacher-student transmission. The Great Work is open to all who sincerely seek after L.V.X, and the N.O.X. which lies beyond. The A∴A∴ aims to facilitate this work by giving structure, discipline, and guidance from those who have gone before. All instructing members of A∴A∴ in Albion have formally passed through the prerequisite grades.
We invite all who are similarly disposed to cooperate with us in a spirit of fraternity, as we apply ourselves to the work of realising in ourselves and in each other, the Quintessence, the Stone of the Wise, the Summum Bonum, True Wisdom and Perfect Happiness.
