About Martinist Order - Ordre Martiniste l’Résurrection
Today, many question the very reasons for their existence, and the meaning and purpose of their lives. Science, for many, only provides fragmentary and often unsatisfactory answers. Yet, since the earliest times, mankind has sought the answers to three fundamental questions:
Where do we come from?
Who are we?
Where are we going?
The Martinist Order is an Initiatory School which suggests a simple method and an effective means whereby one may begin to answer these three crucial questions. The Martinist Order, in utilizing a simple but provable method, imparts to its members a very precious tool, which allows each to awaken the Conscience. It is then up to each Initiate to put these Teachings into daily Practice. If these efforts are assiduous, progress will be made into the "Way of the Heart"; that is, success will be determined by achieving interior harmony; this in an indispensable stage towards Universal Harmony.
Later, as a function of this progress and the aspirations of the Initiate, an "Operative Way" may be offered. In the development of Conscience, the Initiate often has the possibility to increase the appreciable perceptions of the exterior world; but this is only a consequence of the final goal that is sought to be attained: Reintegration. ​ The Martinism of Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, is a mystical tradition in which emphasis is placed on meditation and inner spiritual alchemy, and explained it as a silent 'way of the heart' to attain reintegration. In its inception, Saint-Martin did not organize this path as an 'order', but gathered small circles of students around him, where he transmitted his teachings. ​
The Initiations which connect us as Martinists to the Esoteric Tradition come to us in a direct line from Martinez de Pasqually, an 18th Century kabbalist, and Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, the Unknown Philosopher, who was a disciple and secretary of Pasqually. This initiatic filiation is a direct one-on-one transmission from Master to Student, and has been carried on uninterrupted from Saint-Martin through many individuals including Dr. Gérard Encausse (PAPUS), Victor Blanchard, Edouard Blitz, Teder, Constant Chevillion, Robert Ambelain, to name but a few, down to the present day. ​
The Order divides its teaching into three Degrees called:
Associate,
Initiate (Mystic),
and Unknown Superior (S::I::/Supèrieur Inconnu) .
​ Classes, Lectures, Study Groups, and Degree work are facilitated by our Unknown Superior Initiators (S::I::I::/Supérieur Inconnu Initiateur) ​
​
The O:.M:.R:. Is officially chartered by the Right Reverend Tau Sir Hasirim, and through charter, carries the Initiatory validity, lineage, and egregore of +OMCC+ ( ORDRE MARTINISTE DES PAUVRES CHEVALIERS DU CHRIST ), MOUP (Martinist Order of Unknown Philosophers ), and AMO ( Ancient Martinist Order ) , as well as CEDAIOR SOUTH AMERICAN Martinist Lineage Martinist Lineages of Free Illuminism
​
The order also carries the Saint Petersburg, Ukrainian, Russian, and the Papus-Chaboseau linages of Tau Joel Duez past down to Tau Moses Arizmendi.
"With regard to the filiations of the Ancient Martinist Order it can be said that all the original branches are represented within the AMO, including the branch of ‘Russian Martinism’. The lineages of Philippe Encausse's ‘Ordre Martiniste’ (de Paris), Victor Blanchard's ‘Ordre Martiniste et Synarchique’, Toussaint's OMCC (including his filiation of Russian Martinism derived from Novikov's ‘ Theorists’ ), Ambelain's ‘Ordre Martiniste Initiatique’ (Reforme) are all represented within ‘L’Ordre Martiniste Ancien’. "All the major branches (starting with Papus and Chaboseau, then Blanchard, Teder, Bricaud, and Chevillon, through Dupont, Ambelain and Philippe Encausse ) are re-united within this order."
​
The O:.M:.R:. follows the Free Illuminist tenets:
Congregational Illuminism is a collective of Seekers, gathering together under a non-Authoritarian banner to further the Great Work and to serve those whose Will is to promote these simple principles:
ILLUMINATION IN A FREE ENVIRONMENT!
1. Spiritual growth is incompatible with authoritarian structure
. 2. Scientific Illuminism requires a non-dogmatic, experimental approach.
3. A free society linked in free communion should be actualized.
4. We facilitate, we do not lead. We do the Work, we do not extract oaths or dues, or require dogmatic beliefs
