The Teachings

Source of the Teachings

The traditional teachings of the Order of the Lily and the Eagle were passed down by the Founders, who received them from the true representatives of the Initiatic tradition. They desired that this work continue to be transmitted to all aspirants who were prepared to receive and benefit from it. 

Aim

Initiatic teaching is not merely about the transmission of intellectual knowledge because the fundamental spiritual forces of Love and Wisdom are the food for the inner development of all human beings. The teachings aim at strengthening an inner desire to work on oneself in order to allow these higher forces to manifest without obstruction for the benefit of the individual and of society.

Method of Presentation

The key teachings of the Order are presented in the form of Theorems. Each member is asked to prove the theorems by his or her own study, efforts, reasoning, and experience. Commentaries are given, and members can respond with their own commentary, reflecting their understanding and application of the Theorem to their own life.

Subject of the First 36 Theorems:

  • Theorems which guide an inner work towards the development of a dissimilar personality, one that is no longer enchained in its expression by the time and place of birth, or by the unconscious absorption of the influences of familial, educational, and social conditioning.

  • Theorems of the study of Nature, its patterns and laws, in relation to our own nature.

  • Theorems describing the societal relations of human beings.

  • Theorems exploring the constitution of the human being.

  • Theorems leading to the higher knowledge and expression for the evolution of the human personality.

This ongoing study focuses on the beneficial transformation of one’s personality, which is the tool for our human expression.
