It is amazing the amount of drek that is on the Internet sometimes. I was thinking about the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn today and my thesis. Since I put it up on Lulu as a free download, I happened to go there. I then made the mistake of doing a search there on [...]

Can I be among the 100 to encourage you in these endeavours? It would be very useful to see the Neophyte analysed in an non-esoteric manner. I have little skills in these disciplines, so go for it.
As for publishing Fuller's work, it would be of great value, for both scholars and Western magicians alike. Again...please go ahead.
Sadly, I waded through most of the 80 odd items on Lulu when I first saw your link; you are right, mostly not worth the bandwidth :)

If you really look at the tradition of practice, the adepts, incarnated as us or otherwise, are really similar to the ideas in other traditions around saints or the bodhisattvas. They work for the salvation of sentient beings and the healing of the world.
Unfortunately, the tradition basically became one passed down by texts, not mouth to ear from realized teacher to student. Part of what led me to Buddhism is that it was a surviving and vital living tradition. So much of the Western Mystery tradition is just the remanents of a earlier tradition that died out, mostly, and was reconstructed.
If one wanted to be a part of the Western Mystery tradition and have a largely unbroken lineage, you're really need to be a Roman Catholic or Orthodox priest or monk or Rabbi or the like. Most modern magicians have broken away from Christianity, Islam, and Judaism so they've also lost the continuity that those traditions have.
Part of the other reason that I left involvement is that I'm a pretty crappy monotheist and don't have a typical idea of theism at all.
