(33 degrees).
16. The Swedenborgian Rite of Masonry.

It does not include the A..A.., with which august body it
is, however, in close alliance.
It does not in any way infringe the just privileges of duly
authorized Masonic Bodies.
2. The dispersion of the original secret wisdom having
led to confusion, it was determined by the Chiefs of all these
Orders to recombine and centralize their activities, even as
white light, divided in a prism, may be recomposed.
It embodies the whole of the secret knowledge of all Orien-
tal Orders; and its chiefs are initiates of the highest rank,
and recognized as such by all capable of such recognition
in every country in the world.

blies of the O.T.O. included such men as:
Fohi Hippolytus
Laotze Merlin
Siddartha Arthur
Krishna Titurel
Tahuti Amfortas
Ankh-f-n-khonsu Percivale
