Esoteric Order
The “Tagma Ermeas TrisMegistos” works on three levels: Hearers, Pronaos, and Temple.
***
The Hearer level has one degree.
The Pronaos level has two degrees:
The purpose of the first two levels is for the Member to come in contact with their Psyche/Emotions, so that their unconscious Psychic/Emotional Aspects are recognized every time they are mobilized and not perceived as Spiritual experiences.
***
The Temple level has four Pythagorean Initiatory degrees:
The Temple's Rites attract the Divine Energy of the Archetypes through the movements and actions that take place in its Rituals.
***
The “Tagma Ermeas TrisMegistos” provides to its Members (always for free) booklets which contain a substantial amount of instructions and meditations.
In the beginning (Hearer level) the instructions are not that extensive, but they slowly grow.

The Hearer level has one degree.

The workings of the “Tagma Ermeas TrisMegistos” are as follows
In full development the Order works in two ways:
I)
With a physical space exclusively dedicated to the Order.
There is a consecrated Temple, all the Initiations are performed and, if the Celestial Brotherhood gives permission, the specific branch receives Jurisdiction.
II)
Without a physical space exclusively dedicated to the Order.
There is no permanent Temple and the branch cannot receive Jurisdiction. The subject matter of Initiations is examined on a case-by-case basis.
***
Without full development, the Order works in two ways:
I)
In small groups.
There are Exercises & Meditations and Rituals adapted for a small number of people, who work in a calm and quiet space, without any outside interferences; this space does not have to be permanently dedicated to this purpose.
II)
At an individual level.
There are Exercises & Meditations and Rituals that can work on an individual level in a quiet space at the Member's home.
In the case of a development which is not full, the Members belong to a “TrisMegistos Tetragon” (this is the name of the organized groups in T::E::T::M::), which is situated in another city or country and works in a normal way (performs Rites) and the Receptions and Initiations are executed in the Jurisdiction to which the “TrisMegistos Tetragon” belongs.
