An invitation into Society Ordo Templi Orientis

Written by David Bersson

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

By way of introduction to Society Ordo Templi Orientis let me state publicly that I have initiated many changes that I consider to be valuable to the future not only of the Order but the arising of the Law of Θελημα.

Keep this in mind, that one subtle difference changes the aura and magical direction of the Path of the Order in many multitudes of ways. Yet, one hundred such carefully calculated changes can alter the Womb of the Mother giving birth to a whole new Child who this time, fulfills the conditions of awakening as the crowned & conquering child. For every subtle change, the vibration of the member in all Grades will change. Directions and byways will naturally open up that CANNOT exist for any but those whose participate in such a magical gesture.

Let's give one example. I have made it a rule that no one is permitted to use 93 or 93 93/93 as a Thelemic Greeting at any time. This rule was established to comply with the Book of the Law to assure we do not change the style of a letter. Serious students are referred to Liber AL, Chapter II, verse 54. This rule, which everyone embraced by my direction completely altered the aura of the Order. Discipline was generally more concise. People were enthusiastically giving the Law as a challenge and a greeting. Outsiders from other Thelemic Organizations would be surprised and shocked by my members reaction when they tried to greet them with "93". Members would privately inform me how the vibration of these other Thelemic Orders remained on a very low and frivolous level.

I have arisen to burst your bubble and to attempt to bring you to reality. This reality may come as a shock to all of you. For I do not perceive the Law of Θελημα like anyone that has ever come forth from the wilderness of Initiation. Therefore I fully threaten all of you with the deadly changes that only a Master can conjure from the depths of spiritual insight. I have openly challenged the way the O.T.O. has been and in the past has been laid forth as not consistent enough with the Book of the Law.

Even further, I fully intend to continue with such changes until I am satisfied that all the old aeon elements are purged of their great impurities. This Great Work of assimilating more lines of the Book of the Law into the curriculum of the O.T.O. shall exceed the lifetime of my Leadership, be assured, for the Book of the Law continues to open up to other stars who can see what I cannot presently see, who have attained Trances that are not mentioned in our works and who have experienced corners and byways of the Path that are peculiar to their particular initiation. These perceptions will be added to the sum total of the curriculum as the complex of energy we call our Order further manifests strongly the Current of Θελημα. Verily, I have come forth to awaken the impossible that the impossible shall be reality.

It seems that in the early times of my initiatic processes, so long ago, when I first became a member of the Order, my overall perception of what the O.T.O. and its membership meant to me were considerably diverse from my calm and cool perception of its social and magical realities that presently dominates my present thoughts. Nevertheless, I now see the Order as a complex of energy that is an engine for the manifestation of the Current of Θελημα. I now see how to add to this "complex of energy" to make this war engine more efficient. My experience has given me new insight and real plans to use the Order as a Talisman which magick doth change phenomenal existence.

How times change, I think to myself, considering how I saw the Order in the beginning and how I see it now.

I remember remarking to myself after concise evaluation concerning those changes which policies will really matter, studying my motivations and the origin of them as I outlined it all. What motivated me originally came back to haunt me and I discovered that I was in a position to reach out for those goals. Naturally, such goals exceed the normal lifetime of the individual. Racial Initiation does speed the process of evolution. Goals toward that evolution are unlocked with the Law of Θελημα.

All these years now in the O.T.O. without Marcelo Motta and with the complete reins to direct the future of the entire Order I have a much clearer perception on what I conceive to be a foreseeable future.

Items of policy that others have yet to imagine, I have brought forth as new articles to enhance the efficiency of a theoretical diagram, some of which, had not seen the light of day until I created those magical links to assure their reality. Also, with the unique insights of my initiations, definite commands from the Book of the Law others could not see became a reality for me. I began to adjust the O.T.O. to comply toward them.

Such a shock it is for my enemies and ex-brothers, fallen as they all are and lost in a wave of sorrowful dogmatic stagnation, when I actually change world wide policy in the O.T.O. without a moment's hesitation. I decide what is to be done, I take it upon myself to do it, as I realize what I've decided would be closer to the Book of the Law. I note that this is not occurring with the failed splinter groups of the O.T.O. who continue in the same manner that it was originally conceived. Perhaps they, having no real initiation must grasp strongly for something consistent to assure themselves and their dupes they are, after all, justified with proceeding in spite of the overwhelming lack of evidence in their lineage and standing. Such amusing logic they present me with, that they have stayed with the tenets Aleister Crowley laid down originally and I criminally change everything to suit my fanatical whims. When I counter them easily stating that my attempt to follow the lines of the Book of the Law makes me more Thelemic than them, they sulk away in fear that this madman has cleverly evaded some main point. Such is the shaggy dog tale of the hurt ego making a mad dash for cover as I, the Great Lion show them that Θελημα does, after all, have very sharp Hawk Claws ready to rip the reality of their serene and calm delusionary world they try to call the O.T.O..

Perhaps it is true that they fell in the first place when the inflexible basis of their dogmatic thinking revolted against those whose Change is a formula rather than their standardized behavior of safety. Of course, greater is it the disturbance that makes us freer than the silence of the slaves whose only will is biological and whose only nature is base, brutish animal behavior.

Making such changes are based on the overall improvement of the individual member. A member has aspirations. We not only meet those aspirations by our curriculum but enhance them, inspire them, train them, prepare them, and introduce the aspirant to others of like blood. All with the Law of Θελημα as our guide.

The dream of every mystic is to associate with others who have common points of reference, to attain power and inspiration. With the Law of Θελημα we have precise perceptions where brothers fight along side each other. Social exchange in the Order is therefore a essential coordinate for future development as other points so cleverly conjured within the subtle lines of the Book of the Law.

Carefully considering all these frank outbursts of zeal regarding the changes that I have forged in the Order, I invite all those who would will membership into our circle to step forth and join forces with us on our quest to build the Order in a manner completely consisent with a Society where the Law of Θελημα erupts into the soul of the world.

Yea, the Law of Θελημα shall erupt into the soul of the world!

Love is the law, love under will
