We live in times when accepted 
structures and dogmas of the past 
needs to be critically examined and 
analyzed.  New modes of interaction 
have emerged within the spheres of 
communication, culture and in life 
itself.  Stagnation within one particular
 mode or set of thinking invites the seeds
 of decline: the fall of cultures and 
civilizations  and the extinction of species. 
 The error of clinging to a formula that once 
were valid and ”true” in the past without 
comprehending the need for flexibility and 
change in the modes of interaction within 
any kind of new habitat brings death.  
Transferred onto the evolution of esoteric 
cultures, this model of thought may explain 
why most Western occult orders, schools and 
societies do not survive. Spiritual power; 
mystical, magickal and shamanistic, is earned 
from perpetual communication and interaction 
with forces and levels of consciousness outside 
oneself, as microcosmos merges with macrocosmos 
and vice versa.  When insight and communications
 with the Heart of the Mysteries is no longer
 the mainframe, the foci becomes gossip and 
teaparties, ideas of aristocracy, longing for 
grades and diplomas and fights for ownership 
of traditions.   Whenever degrees and charters 
becomes the focal points of orders, societies, 
schools and individuals, whatever power it 
eventually had disappears.  Spiritual power 
does not lie imanent in ,and is not the 
result of, conferring of grades, diplomas and 
charters.  That misconception is the fountainhead 
 and the ever returning illusion and poison of 
the world of the occult.   Whenever this notion is 
infused within a body it gradually becomes a blind 
creature devoid of insight both of itself, the
 Mysteries and the habitat of which it is a part.
  The principles of stagnation is the only certain 
motions of occult orders, societies and induviduals 
trapped in this orbit.  They cut off the strata to 
the Logos, and devoid of access to anything but 
empty egregoires,  fall into the labyrinths of 
dogmatism, folly and decay . This has been the 
formula of the occult world for centuries. 
The carriers of the Torches moves in small 
groups where communications are direct 
or else in solitude.
