THE MYSTICAL & MAGICAL SYSTEM OF THE A.:A.: - James A. Eshelman (College Of Thelema, 2000)

Hardback with dust-jacket. 282 pages. 

This book describes the methods of the A∴A∴, step-by-step, in each of its grades from Probationer (0=0) through Exempt Adept (7=4). Often called, by its readers, "a user's guide to THE EQUINOX," it provides comprehensive description of a course of study that allows you to employ effectively the methods of Scientific Illuminism. Never before have the pathways of the Inner Journey been so finely mapped, nor the Way so clearly marked.

By the name "A∴A∴" we designate that One and Eternal Order that Paul Foster Case and Kenneth Mackenzie called the "True and Invisible Order," and Karl von Eckartshausen titled the "Interior Church" or "community of light."

Existing throughout history, silently guiding humanity's cultural and spiritual evolution, it is the Holy of Holies wherein that Sacred Ark rests inviolate. Every legitimate magical order, mystery school, fraternity, or religion disseminating some portion of Wisdom has been an Outer Vehicle of this Inner Fellowship of Light.

There is THAT within each of us, immortal and infinitely creative, which truly gives us birth. Something in us knows, instinctively, that we must (each in our own ripe time) seek this, embrace this, and surrender to this as we would to the most overpowering and fulfilling love. And then we must give it expression in our lives and our work, pouring forth the very essence of ourselves into that which we love most. It is this inner Truth-of-Self — this True Will, or central, guiding spiritual principle of our lives — that the mystical and magical system of the A∴A∴ unveils and awakens from within each of us.
