| Introduction to
Founding and Purpose of the
Order. |
| Ordo Sacerdotalvs Templi came about as the inspiration of
Joseph Dismore's personal experiences of Self-Discovery through
the guidance of his Higher Genius or Intuitive Intellect. This reflected
the experiences of his Life, with the result of a type of Spiritual
Awakening which began to clarify many of Life's questions for him,
including the understanding that what we are today was in the process
of becoming even before we were present in this existence. Our lives
and the conditions of our lives are common to all, but, the Realization
that we "Can Effect Change In Our Environment Through Determined
Acts of Will" was a decisive Truth the Founder came to understand
as Fundamental to the Process of Growth.
Ordo Sacerdotalvs Templi or "Order of Temple Priests/Priestesses" has the Main Intent of Inspiring Seekers to Search and Study all forms of Knowledge, especially the Past Wisdoms of our Ancestors for which we have as Predecessors who laid the Foundations of Our Modern Societies of the Present. The Reason for this Study of the Ancient Past, Medieval History and the Present World of Culture and Life is in order that we may Build more wisely upon the Structure of Society, with the Intent of Personal Liberties and Humanitarian Treatment regardless of Color, Creed, or Religion of any Member of Society. This Inspiration of Self-Discovery through Knowledge is geared toward the Individual gaining a type of Gnosis or Intuitive Knowledge of Themselves which is paramount in Order for the Individual to be Fully Aware of Their Potentials in Realizing Their "True Will" thus enabling the Seeker to become more Fully Free in the Perfect Liberty of Fulfilling this "Will" and Benifiting Themselves as well as Society.

Loyalty
William Shakespeare once wrote and I quote: "To Thine Own Self Be True." Loyalty to Self is an important factor in the philosophy of the Ordo Sacerdotalvs Templi (OST), yet the word and concept of Loyalty encompasses much more. It is the fundamental, utmost point of the philosophy. Loyalty to Oneself, Ones Hearth/ Family, Ones friends and loved Ones, and Ones Tribe/ Community and the commitment to those loyalties are the most desired qualities personally obtainable. In the Symbolism of the Ordo Sacerdotalvs Templi, 'Loyalty' is the circle which encompasses the OST Pentagram. It is not only the circle but the utmost point of the star. Without Loyalty the attainment of the other four qualities of Life, Light, Liberty and Love would hold little meaning.
