Truth and Transmission
In The Albigen Papers Richard Rose espoused a principle called the Contractor’s Law, which means that two people working together can accomplish more that the two working separately, and this then is extended to three, four or more people. He also talked about the Law of the Ladder (he was a contractor by trade), which states that a person can only work with people on the same rung of the ladder as himself, plus the rung below and the one above. He is helped only when he helps another take a step up the ladder. Thirdly, Mr. Rose advocated for the principle of a Brotherhood, a group, school or fellowship of people working together for spiritual aims.
With this in mind, in about 1970 Mr. Rose established the TAT Society, the acronym standing for Truth and Transmission, meaning to search for truth and to transmit one’s realization to others. Later, he laid out his vision in a paper, reproduced here, called The Grand Work of the TAT Society.
Although in The Albigen Papers he was clear that organizations can have their maladies and should not become an end in themselves, Mr. Rose formally incorporated the Society as the TAT Foundation in 1973, with the motto “a circle of friends with no head”. With the passing of Mr. Rose in 2005, the organization naturally has undergone some changes, while trying to remain consistent with its principles as founded.
