For a little bit I have been wondering about organizing a lair based on Crowley's AA or OTO.

What I mean by this in the AA sense, is that members only know the person above them, and the person below them. (This is based upon the idea that noone will "compete" with each other and instead will learn from someone slightly more advanced than them, while at the same time teaching someone one step lower than them.) Also, this method helps to not overwhelm the initiate, and give them the info they can handle based on the their "level".

Next, when coming to a more OTO style of initiation, it is much more a social group than AA types of organizations. This means, although they will be taught by someone one degree higher, they have the benefit of communicating with others much higher advanced than they are.

I feel both systems COULD be beneficial if used correctly. Also, this system would require a set of initiations and inherent in that is the effects each level conveys to each initiate. Oaths and requirements would be set, but they would not have in it, the incredible restrictions of most occult organizations. Instead, they would impart specific knowledge to each initiate depending on what level of attainment they have reached. This is just an idea I have been having and I would love to hear ALL of your opinions on this. Granted, the training would be much less vigorous than any occult organization, but by the same token, SOOOOO much of PU shit ties into "higher" dimensions of perception, that to understand each and not in some way equate both to me seems ignorant.

OPINIONS?!?!

Your trying to turn this into a cult! Go home David Koresh;)

You wouldn't need really much money to start. You could accept donations but whatever. With a more OTOIsh organization, its like a community with levels. You would have no need to stay if you didn't want to, but after advancing within the community you would probably want to. I was thinking that basically since there is so much in PU, having an organized system of attainment could be beneficial to alot of students.
