The History
The lnner Templar Order was secretly established in 1096 in Constantinople to protect and perpetuate Gnostic spiritual traditions. The Knights Templar were persecuted, suppressed and forced underground in 1307. The remainingTemplars went into hiding and secretly merged into other knighthood orders of the time, and assumed the guise as Stone masons as well. Some Templars went back to the Holy Land and became Sufi or Druze members. Others sailed to the Americas and Scotland among other places. The tradition would later come out of hiding and reappear through Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism.
Larmenius Charter
The Charter of transmission of Larmenius was written in 1324 by Johannes Marcus Larmenius. Johannes was secretly appointed Grand Master of the Templar order by Jacques De Malay while Jacques was imprisoned before his death. This charter bears all of the subsequent Grand Masters of the underground Templar Order. This charter was made public in 1804 by a former Grand Master of our order in France, Dr. Bernard Raymond Fabre-Palaprat.
Fabre-Palaprat-also revealed a TemplarDocument called the Levitikon. The Levitikon is an 11″‘ century Gnostic version of the Gospel of John. The text consists of two parts; the first describes the nine grades of the Templar Order, which it calls the “Church of John” and explaining that the Templars called themselves “Johannites”. The second is the Gospel of John, Though it eliminates many of the miracles attributed to Jesus, portraying Jesus more as a man than a God, and as an initiate of the mysteries of the god Osiris passed on to Jesus by John the Baptist.
Raymond Bernard
Raymond Bernard was a former Grand Master of Rosicrucians in France, and a Grand Master of the Order of the Temple lineage stemming from Fabre-Palaprat Before Raymond Bernard passed away he along with Dr. Onslow Wilson a former Grand Commander of the Order of theĀ Temple, passed on the Templar lineage to the current Grand Master Timothy W. Hogan and installed him as Grand Master.

The Templar Collegia is the outer court of an inner more secretive order called “Order of the Temple of Secret Initiates” or O.T.S.I. The O.T.S.I is one of the lineages that has been perpetuated since the Templar order came out of hiding in 1804. It is a descendant of the original secret innerĀ Gnostic, Templar order. The Templar Collegia was created to provide esoteric education, and prepare initiates for the Templar work before possible invitation into the O.T.S.I.
