 Builders of the Adytum (B.O.T.A.) is a
non-profit, tax-exempt religious organization irrevocably dedicated to
spiritual attunement through enlightened worship in the Tradition of
the Western Mysteries. Its congregation is an association of spiritual
aspirants who participate through the B.O.T.A. lesson instructions.
Wherever they may be geographically, they are, in fact, participating
in mystical-esoteric meditational practices that unify them into a
powerful metaphysical body of enlightened worship. There is no charge
for any instructions or other benefits B.O.T.A. freely offers its dues
paying members. The Order’s material needs are supported
solely by membership dues-contributions and other donations. Builders of the Adytum derives from antiquity. Adytum is Greek for “Inner Shrine” or “Holy of Holies” and Builders refers to the emulation of the Carpenter from Nazareth, Jesus, whom many people believe was versed in the Qabalistic Tradition. However, B.O.T.A. is not a strictly Christian organization, nor is it Jewish, as the Qabalah is thought to be. B.O.T.A. accepts the Qabalah as the mystical root of both ancient Judaism and the original Christianity, but people of all faiths should have no difficulty accepting B.O.T.A. teachings if they are mystically inclined. The evolution of form upon this planet corresponds with the evolution of consciousness. Consequently, in the natural course of events, all men and women will ultimately be possessed of higher consciousness. Almost incomprehensible periods of time elapse, however, before such changes occur in the slow processes of nature. Yet speed-ups are possible. Humankind is endowed with mental and physical faculties which, with proper training, enable an acceleration of the evolutionary process. This cultural forcing process is the work of the Mystery Schools, ancient and modern. The means whereby higher consciousness, illumination, may be gained includes both theory and practice. These teachings and practical secrets constitute what is known as Ageless Wisdom. It is called “Ageless” because it is not susceptible to the mutations of time. Ageless Wisdom is not primarily a product of man’s thinking. It is “written by God upon the face of nature,” and is always there for men and women of all epochs to read, if they can. Builders of the Adytum is an authentic Mystery School. Its system is that of the Western Tradition. Its teachings, which are based on the Holy Qabalah and the Sacred Tarot, have been handed down from one group of initiates to another since very ancient times. Its work, however, does not bid for interest on the ground of mere antiquity, but because it has met the tests of centuries of practical application.  Membership

Existing Members:
B.O.T.A. has Study Groups and Pronaos healing ritual work in many cities throughout the world. Study Groups afford an opportunity to interact with others who share the same spiritual teachings and practices, lending mutual benefit from the education group work offers. Their primary purpose is to encourage the development of fraternal Love and Harmony, foster the development of consciousness as set forth in the B.O.T.A. curriculum, help incorporate the principles of Ageless Wisdom in everyday life, enjoy together the operation of the One Will in all the circumstances of our lives, and provide an open door to the Mysteries to all who genuinely seek them. Much of our work on the Path of Return is aimed at extending intellectual awareness and understanding into an emotional awareness that can affect all levels of our being. Group Ritual Work has long been known in the Mystery Schools as a dynamic means of invoking such responses. Ritualistic work in Pronaos uses this dramatic image-in-motion method to aid aspirants in creating symbology of the most effective type. We invite all B.O.T.A. members who live in areas where Pronaos groups are established to experience the benefits of this work as a valuable adjunct to their independent study of the B.O.T.A. coursework. The headquarters of Builders of the
Adytum has been in
Los Angeles since the 1930’s. Sunday Services are at 11:00
a.m. each week and are open to the public. United States Regional Study Group and Pronaos ListingsNote: Each calendar event links to a Google map for directions.
