13. The privileges of members of the O.T.O. are very
numerous. These are the principal:
1° They have not only access to, but instruction in, the
whole body of hidden knowledge preserved in the
Sanctuary from the beginning of its manifestation.
In the lower grades the final secrets are hinted,
and conveyed in symbol, beneath veil, and through
sacrament.
In this way the intelligence of the initiate is called
into play, so that he who well uses the knowledge of
the lower grades may be selected for invitation to
the higher, where all things are declared openly.
2° They become partakers of the current of Universal
Life in Liberty, Beauty, Harmony, and Love which
flames within the heart of the O.T.O., and the Light
of that august fraternity insensibly illuminates
them ever more and more as they approach its cen-
tral Sun.
3° They meet those persons most complemental to their
own natures, and find unexpected help and brother-
hood in the whole world wherever they may travel.
4° They obtain the right to sojourn in the secret houses

of the O.T.O., permanently or for a greater or lesser
period of the year according to their rank in the
Order; or, in the case of those of the Fifth and lower
degrees, are candidates for invitation to these
houses.
