93 – First off, I adore your blog. Really fantastic stuff. As for my question, I was wondering how long it usually takes to hear back from the A.’.A.’. after applying to be a probationer? It’s been a little over a month with no word. Best – 93 93/93

I tried contacting all of the various lineages and never heard
back from the A.’.A.’.. Mind you, I never followed up after I realized I was a
chaote at heart. People say that the IOT is hard to get ahold of. At least they
contacted me in a couple of months. Nothing against the A.’.A.’., I have
friends in the program and it’s a fine program. But even the email addresses
they gave me bore no fruit. They might have had a leg up since they were
already OTO. Also, as far as I know, the only places in North America to take
initiation (that is, when they do physical initiation) are California and
Toronto. That may influence your decision. You might try Dr. David Shoemaker.
He’s the host of Living Thelema, and an open member of the A.’.A.’.. He has a
contact on his website. http://livingthelema.com/.
Best of Luck.
