The Rule of The Order
We, called to be knights and scholars of the LVX, found this Order under the charism of cognitiō. This grace is two-fold: first, the divine research and development of all truths, guided by the Holy Spirit, tracing the threads of wisdom from the primordial source through all texts and traditions; second, the sacred administration and implementation of this recovered knowledge, led by Lord and Lady Christ the Logos, to establish right order. Our work is to synthesize and reintegrate the WORD, to reclaim the purity of first principles and words, and to implement them as law and practice for the enlightenment of souls and the WAY to restoration of all things.

In the Name of Christ! AumA word considered very holy in the Brahmanical literature. I… More, Shanti Shanti Shanti.
The Life of the Word and the Way Begins
The Rule and Life of the Order is this:
- The restoration of the one true vibration of the WORD.
- The Eternal MasterOne who is skilled in the Wisdom of life, or one who is no l… More Christ who comes to the enlightened, through whose line the supreme light is transmitted promises deliverance through devotion and reverence: whether through a blade of grass, a drop of water, or a flower pedal, so long as the harmony of the intention is pure.
- Let the other brothers be bound to obey the teaching of the Saints, chosen for their unwavering devotion to the Way, and the utterance of the True Vibrations of the Word.
Article I. The Rising and the First Offering
A brother rises before the sun, washes, and gives the first words of his mouth to God.
He remembers that the Light precedes him, and he steps into the day as a steward of that Light.
Article II: Those Who Wish to Adopt This Life and How They Should Be Received
If any wish to accept this life, let them be brought to the Chaplains. Let their feet be washed and anointed. Let the Gospel be spoken over them. They are clothed in the garments of probation and instructed in this Rule. After a year and a day, if they have remained faithful, they may promise obedience to this Life. If their True-self Identity and Free-Will choice and belief is true, they will profess these things faithfully and reverently, and observe them steadfastly to the end; and
Article III. How the Brothers Should Go About in the World
Let the brothers not quarrel, argue, or judge others when they go about in the world. Let them be meek, peaceful, modest, gentle, and humble, speaking courteously to everyone, as is becoming of a Minister. Into whatever house they enter, let them first say, “Peace be to this house!”
Article IV. Fasting and Purification
The brothers fast on the appointed Days of Requirement and on Fridays, unless need requires otherwise. In fasting, they turn their hands to the purification of soil and water, remembering that the restoration of creation is part of the restoration of the WORD.
Article V. In The Manner of Labor
Those brothers to whom the Lord has given the grace of working may work faithfully and devotedly so that, while avoiding idleness, the enemy of the soul, they do not extinguish the Spirit of holy prayer and devotion to which all temporal things must contribute. Each brother shall be compensated with just remunerations for his labors, for every workman is worthy of His wages; and Equity will not aid a volunteer.
Article VI. On Good Stewardship
Let the brothers make nothing their own—neither house, nor place, nor anything at all. They live as pilgrims and strangers, knowing that proprietorship belongs to the Creator, and they are curators of His Creation.
Article VII. Government
The supreme authority is the Overseer and Minister-General, elected for life by the laws of Succession. The High Council, composed of all Stewards in solemn vows, is the legislative body. The Council of Elders, appointed by the Overseer and Minister-General, advises on matters of doctrine, research, and administration. The duties of all Officers and Stewards are enumerated in the MasterOne who is skilled in the Wisdom of life, or one who is no l… More Governance Instrument.

An Initiate period shall be two-years of intense spiritual, intellectual, and communal formation, culminating in first, temporary vows;

As a MasterOne who is skilled in the Wisdom of life, or one who is no l… More, solemn, perpetual vows are professed upon completion of formation and approval by the Council of Elders.
Article IX. The Daily Horarium
The Sun is the external sign of the Eternal Light, and whereas the rhythms of the cosmosWhenever a theosophist speaks of the cosmos or the universe,… More are the breath of the Divine, it is hereby established that the Brothers may study the Ancient Discipline of Hours. This discipline is of the CosmosWhenever a theosophist speaks of the cosmos or the universe,… More, and its observance aligns the soul with the pure rhythm of the Universal Womb. It shall be observed by those in the Order who seek to understand the harmony and rhythm of the First Cause and the causation.
