93, dears oh dears:
Here I am again, and I hope you all, ladies and gentleman etc, are strong
and prosperous.
Let clarify some points:
1 - Bro. Rodney is right - see Koenig's ''Caliphate Capers'': I was not Xº
of the Caliphate for Brazil - just a humble FSR (despite bro. Heidrick's
statements in contrary. Alas, I have sent some scans to bro. Koenig - HB's
handwritings - that easly prove I was FSR... on the other hand: who cares?
weird, weird OTO world, hae?).
2 - Bro. Grab is totally wrong when he states:
> Breeze (who belongs to the Germer/Motta A:.A:. lineage, not the
Crowley/McMurtry lineage) will force the Motta A:A:. to be "The AA", thereby
negating religious freedom;
There is no such a thing like _Motta's_ A.'.A.'. lineage, my brother.
We recognize Marcelo Ramos Motta (Frater Adjuvo - Ever) as the legitimate
source through which the wisdom of the A.'.A.'. reached us. But, as there
was Motta, there were others.
So we do not recognize ''lineages'' in the A.'.A.'. - we recognize Brothers
and Aspirants doing the Great Work.
Most of all, we neither accept nor support Breeze's claims.
It's pretty much well known that Marcelo Ramos Motta declared Breeze a
failed Probationer.
If one re-reads Liber Causae, verse 6, very carefully, one will easly
understand the reason why Breeze's claims are void since a long long time
ago: he failed - the door was closed - that's enough.
Nothing to do with polictics; nothing to do with lineages.
Now, if one considers that spiritual attainment is all A.'.A.'. is about,
then it will be easly understood why the Caliphate OTO under Breeze is that
big and shameful mess.
I must tell you, brother Graeb, that Breeze uses his authority in COTO in
order to bring people to his new-founded _a'.' a'.' _
I myself have almost fellen in his trap.
My Superior, Euclydes Lacerda de Almeida (Fra. Thor) was recognized a
Zelator and a member of the Order of the Thelemites by Marcelo Ramos Motta
back in 1975 e.v.
Breeze and Mr. Martin Starr wanted him to fly to the US in order to have HIM
(!!!) recognized legitimate A.'.A.'. by THEM (!!!). He did not go.
However, I went to Austin, TX, and passed through Ritual 671 (Throa) in the
end of 1998 e.v.
Note that I was already a Neophyte, but Breeze told me I should be initiated
in a ''temple'', in order to be cured from the mistakes of the past. He was
using his COTO authority in order to have me accepting his A.'.A.'. claims.
As soon as I came back to Brazil, some events took place and I resigned my
COTO membership. But not before Breeze made everything he could in order to
separe me from my Superior, Frater Thor.
Breeze sent me letters saying that I should avoid any A.'.A.'. connection
with Frater Thor, because - according to him - Frater Thor had failed since
he did not place himself under their (Breeze's + Starr + who else?)
authority.
Also, he told me that all the other A.'.A.'. claimants but them (Breeze +
Starr + who else?) had no authority at all. He expressely said that Phillys
Seckler and all the rest were not legitimate instructors.
Recently, Martin Starr threatened my Superior's IPS because on Frater Thor's
webpage there was a scan of Starr's letter recognizing him _Frater Superior_
of the A.'.A.'. (I don't remember if _in Brazil_ or _in South America_ or
_in the world_ or whatever). You see, the man can't even assume his own
words (not necessarely to remember that he betraied his Master).
So, you fail when you do not perceive that Breeze's plans re. A.'.A.'. +
COTO have nothing to do with _Motta's_ A.'.A.'. - He is an open enemy of
us, Motta's A.'.A.'. (Brazilian) descendantes. He conspires against
_Motta's_ A.'.A.'. (as you put it).
Things smell worse than you first felt, hum?
Follow some quotations from a letter writen by Breeze,
dated March 02, 1997.
1 - On Seckler (Sr. Meral):
''...Seckler had been a Probationer for over 20 years until she promoted
herself in the late 1970s, and had no particular instruction from Soror
Estai (wolfe) in connection with A.'.A.'. work; Wolfe was herself a
Neophyte, as was Yorke, who disavowed A.'.A.'. most of the time and declined
Crowley's offer of a responsible role in its work. Neither Wolfe nor Yorke
left any well-trained students at their deaths, although both admitted at
least one know Probationer each...'''
2 - On Motta (Fra. Adjuvo)
''...Motta was the only adept trained and confirmed by Germer as an officer
in A.'.A.'. - see the imprimatur to Equinox III(6) ''Liber Aleph''. That is
Motta's motto. You cannot know Motta's standing re: Germer without reference
to their voluminous correspondence. After Germer's death, Motta effectively
held all of the offices as he was the only officer alive. Motta trained and
admitted very few individuals to Zelator or beyond...''
3 - On his ''status'':
''You are probably aware that Motta referred to me as a failed
Probationer''.
4 - On his ''fabrication''
''... I can't explain this to your satisfaction, probably. By what authority
did A.C. work? That of A.'.A.'. proper, as do we...''
