Builders of Aditume: an immersion into a mystical space

In the heart of the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles is a school of the Western mystical tradition, the Aditum Builders. This non-profit, tax-exempt religious organization was founded in 1922 by Dr. Paul Foster Case and Ann Davis. Their mission is to research and teach esoteric psychology, occult tarot, hermetic kabbalah, astrology, and other techniques that allow for a deeper understanding of the mystical aspects of reality.

The name "Aditum" means "Inner Sanctum" or "Holy of Holies" in Latin, and "Builders" indicates a desire to emulate Jesus as the Carpenter of Nazareth. Members believe their founders had knowledge of the secrets of building a "living temple without hands." The community now numbers about 5 000 worldwide and continues to attract those who seek mysticism and deep spiritual understanding.

The founding principles of the Aditume Builders go back to the depths of time - the order is based on the traditions of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Blue Lodge Masonic system. Its basic teachings hold fast to the belief that Kabbalah is the mystical root of Judaism and Christianity. Therefore, the Order welcomes all who are inclined toward mysticism, regardless of religion.

One of their goals is to enlighten members in higher consciousness and spiritual harmony. Their teachings and practices, known as "Timeless Wisdom," are something deeper than mere philosophical concepts - they are a path to self-discovery and enlightenment. Regular services, educational groups, and ritual practices allow community members to delve deeper into the mystical aspects of life.

Aditume Builders has regional organizations and study groups in various parts of the world. These groups are open to all who wish to delve deeper into mystical traditions and develop higher consciousness. Group ritual work, available only to members of the order, is a dynamic way to achieve spiritual and fraternal insight.

In this way, the organization continues to be an oasis for those seeking the path to truth and deep spiritual understanding. Its teachings and practices call for self-discovery, harmony, and an understanding of the mystical aspects of reality, making it a valuable resource for those seeking spiritual growth and enlightenment.
