The Task of a Student of the Mysteries

The Student is to acquire a general intellectual knowledge of all systems of

attainment, as declared in the prescribed books. For this course of reading the
Student should consult the curriculum officially approved by the AA.
The Student is expected to show a thorough acquaintance with the books
referred to, but not necessarily to understand them in any deeper sense. On passing
an examination, he or she may be admitted to the grade of Probationer.
