TRANSLATOR’SPREFACE

I humbly present this work in a spirit of celebration. Robert Ambelain would have

approved of the Martinist group at Yahoogroups.com! In his Warning to the Reader he stresses

that his reasons for making this information available in print, is to reach out to Martinists who

have not receved he naon he descbes suey he Rose Cox dOrient?). He adds the

caution that the vast majority of those who have received the scant teachings and accompanying

regime have done nothing with them, but hoard them up as another certificate to covet, and

another elegant membership to drop into conversation.

Ambelain has never been shy about putting teachings into print, in the belief, shared by

sael Regade when he pubshed he amous Back Book’ of he Hemec Oder of he

Golden Dawn, that it is better to safeguard the rituals and teachings in the hands of the many,

than see them lost in the drawer of collectors of initiation who never do anything with them, nor

pass them on to the successor, as they swore to do at their initiation. He believes, as do many,

that the true import of the secret is not in the words but in their practice . He makes a specific

point in this text of the manner in which well-thumbed old manuscripts bear the spiritual imprint

of their readers ad users.

The Martinist Order now sees much communication between its branches. Indeed, as I

write a number of European and American branches are coalescing into a group which, while

retaining their specific rituals, initiatory successions and teachings, nevertheless recognize both

he vady and he equvaence of each ohestraditions, and now allow free visitation rights

and access to materials between the groups. This can only be for the good, and I only hope this

precious harmonizing process continues.

I would like to thank Michael Buckley, Ronald Cappello, Mark Jones, Andrew

Stephenson and Gordon Stewart for their support and for their guidance and courage in this new

millennium. I would especially like to thank Elias Ibrahim, whose guidance and support have

been invaluable. I know he very much wanted to translate this important work, but as his

commitments prevented him from applying himself to this task I was inspired to take up his

mantle and complete the translation.

I now offer it to the English speaking community in the hope that it will help them in

their search for the Summum Bonum, and the Way of the Heart.
