Membership Within the O∴M∴S∴
The Ordre Martinistes Souverains (O∴M∴S∴) is open to all sincere seekers of the Divine Light who knock with a pure intention and the will to persevere the initiatory process. To assist in understanding the purpose, aims, means and processes of the O∴M∴S∴, we have compiled our preliminary public documents into The Threshold of Initiation: Information for the Aspirant.
This document contains:
-
O∴M∴S∴ Public Manifesto which briefly describes the purpose and history of the Ordre, and introduces the Three Pillars of the Martinist Tradition upon which the Ordre is built. Here, we overview the curricula of the Outer Ordre, the essential processes that will lead the candidate from the darkness of ignorance to the light of Truth. We also briefly introduce Rosicrucian and Gnostic currents of the Inner Ordre. Instructions on applications and contact information for the Grand Council and individual Temples provide the candidate with their first point of contact with the Unknown Agents of the Ordre.
-
The Pre-Associate Operation which is required of all new applicants to the Ordre. This three-month operation serves multiple purposes including testing the abilities and dedication of the aspirant, and allowing them to pilot preliminary Martinist exercises, meditations, and ritual operations. The basic techniques of meditation and contemplation presented here are deceptively simple, but in reality, form essential and foundational skills upon which all future work will be based. Neglect not the morning meditation, and learn to approach the work with regularity, discipline and long-term goals. The required journals of this operation allow the Ordre to evaluate if the aspirant is a proper candidate for the Ordre, and for the candidate to evaluate if the Ordre is a proper fit for them.
-
The Rule of the Ordre in 9 Points comes from the 1782 Masonic Convent of Wilhelmsbad. Authored by Jean Baptiste Willermoz, it presents a beautiful, mystical approach to viewing the initiatory process, the organizational structure of an esoteric order, and the relationship between God, Man, and the Universe.
-
The Application for Initiation is a standard application that allows the Ordre to begin to understand the aspirant’s history, values and goals, and challenges the aspirant to reflect upon the same. It is strictly confidential.
Questions and further inquiries can be made to the Grand Council or the Temple closest to you. Be sure to also view the wealth of public documents we have made available online, our video lecture content on the O∴M∴S∴ YouTube, our public books, and our regular updates on Facebook.
