"The A∴A∴ is a sempiternal Order whose heads have attained through personal experience.  It is the true and invisible Order which has operated under various names and guises throughout history, with the sole purpose of guiding the spiritual evolution of humanity forward.  The methods applied are those of science and the aims are those of religion.

'This community possesses a School, in which all who thirst for knowledge are instructed by the Spirit of Wisdom itself; and all the mysteries of nature are preserved in this school for the children of light. Perfect knowledge of nature and of humanity is taught in this school. It is from her that all truths penetrate into the world; she is the school of all who search for wisdom, and it is in this community alone that truth and the explanation of all mystery are to be found.'

'The door is open to all who in sincerity wish to join themselves to a Body of Initiates pledged in service to Humanity.  "Any [Person] can look for the entrance and any [Person] who is within can teach another to seek it; but only those who are fit can arrive within.'

The principles of the Order of A∴A∴ are clear and unequivocal; those who act in a manner contrary to them are automatically excluded from its fold.  It requires no oaths of secrecy, or vows of obedience, nor is money ever requested.  The work is private and always an honest and independent inquiry."
