  • I.C.E.S. is a non-profit educational institution devoted to
    the advancement and mystical enlightenment of Mankind

  • I.C.E.S. is a College, not a secret order.

  •   I.C.E.S. distributes lectures from the traditional initiatic stream. Marty of these lectures were originally in a foreign language and required translation into English. Some of these lectures once belonged to fraternities that were disbanded during WWII and are no longer available elsewhere.

  •   I.C.E.S. has no teachings of its own, and is not the author of the material it circulates. Each lecture in each Liber carries identification indicating its origin. Some of the lectures may even be contradictory since they are coming from different sources. Members should take what they can use, and set the rest aside, not forgetting that it was the stone the builders rejected that eventually became the cornerstone of the temple.   

  •   I.C.E.S. first started as the I.C.O.M., which at that time, was established to disseminate teachings. Later it broadened its curriculum to include material from Alchemy, Freemasonry, Gnosticism.  Because of this expansion of subject matter the name was changed from the International College of Martinist Studies to the International College of Esoteric Studies in 1985.

  •   I.C.E.S. is pleased to share its heritage of esoteric teachings with all sincere aspirants who hunger and thirst for spiritual enlightenment. I.C.E.S. is for the neophyte on the esoteric path as well as for the veteran sojourner. Among our membership can he found pilgrims of both sexes from over fifty counties, and from all religions and races. Many already belong to other organizations including, AMORC, Astara, ARC, BOTA, CIRCES, Eckankar, Freemasonry, Co-Freemasonry, Gnostics, Martinists, Rose +Croix, Servants of the Light, SRF, The Theosophical Society, and others. 

  • I.C.E.S. does NOT encourage members to drop out of any other organization they may belong to.   

The fact is, no person or organization knows ultimate truth! Ultimate truth exists only in God. Each person/organization is given to know only a relative part of the truth, for one’s truth changes as one becomes more enlightened or conscious. Above all, however, I.C.E.S. members have learned to think for themselves, not to merely assimilate and repeat someone else’s truth.
