The Formation of Ordo Sacerdotalvs Templi is an ongoing continual Order of Priests and Priestesses who by the virtue of their Higher Genius are on a Religio-Spiritual Quest for Self-Discovery, Self-Knowledge and Self-Realization of their Fullest Potentials as Individuals who by the Act of Liberty desire to possess a discernment of the Conditions which affect their Personal Beliefs, their Ability to Achieve their Desired Goals of Performing their Aims at the Great Work, which are designed to bring Liberty to The Individual, The Family, and The Community as a Brotherhood of Common Unity with Interests in Aspiring to the Fullest Potential that is Within Us All.

Ordo Sacerdotalvs Templi is not meant as a Secret Society, or as a Society for the Dissolution or Overthrow of any Local, State or Nation's Government or Overseership of Such, and is not an Anti-Religious or Anti-Faith Anarchist Order. The Ordo Sacerdotalvs Templi as Founded by Joseph D. Dismore after the Inception of His Higher Genius Enacted the Understanding of Peaceable Resolution of any Despotic or Oppressive Rule, and is in no way, directly or indirectly, party to any Revolutionary Aims to Dethrone Secular Institutes or to Cause Abomination to the Sacred ALters of any Religion or Faith Group that exists for the Perpetuation of the Evolution of Consciousness and Higher Spiritual Direction for the Evolution and Self-Discovery of the Potentials of the Human Spirit and the Freedoms that are considered by O.S.T. to be Inalienable Rights that Cannot Be Taken or Given Away by Their Possessor.

The Consecration of an Individuals Life to the Cause of Liberty, for the Pursuits of Life, Love and in the Light of Self-Knowledge is seen as a "Binding" or Religio, and is what draws the distinction from a mere Theorist for the Freedoms and Rights of Others into an Practical and Active Role of Attaining to the Greater Good by Living as an Example of a Moral Lifestyle. By Moral it should be noted that O.S.T. Acknowledges the Understanding of the Philosopher Johanne Gottlieb Fichte's definition of Moral Nature as pertaining to Man, He States:

"A Man can have Knowledge of his Moral Nature, of his Subjection to his Moral Imperative, in two ways. In the first place he can possess this Knowledge on the level of Common Moral Consciousness. That is to say he can be Aware through his Conscience of a Moral Imperative telling him to do this or not to do that. And this Immediate Awareness is quite sufficient for a Knowledge of One's Duties and for Moral Behaviour. In the second place, a Man can assume the Ordinary Moral Consciousness as something given and inquire into its grounds. And a Systematic Deduction of the Moral Consciousness from its roots in the Ego is the Science of Ethics and Provides "Learned Knowledge". In one sense of course, this Learned Knowledge leaves everything as it was before. It does not create obligation, nor does it substitute a new set of Duties for those of which One is already Aware through Conscience. It will not give a Man a Moral Nature. But it can enable him to understand his Moral Nature."

"What is Meant by Moral Nature? There is in Man an Impulsion to Perform Certain Actions simply For The Sake of Performing Them, Without Regard to External Purposes or Ends, and to Leave Undone Other Actions Simply For The Sake of Leaving Them Undone, and again, Without Regards to External Purposes or Ends. And the Nature of Man in so far as this Impulsion Manifests Itself Within Him is His "Moral or Ethical Nature.""
