    I heard this rumor before and wondered if it is real or an urban occult legend.

    "A.M.O.R.C. teachings and the O.T.O.

    Are there any signs of Crowley’s, Reuss’ or Tränker’s influence in the teachings or litterature of A.M.O.R.C. which would permit to conclude that A.M.O.R.C. is an offspring of O.T.O. ? Well it is obvious that many elements of O.T.O. have been added to A.M.O.R.C., the most often quoted being the use of the M.'.M.'.M.'./O.T.O. lamen,72 and the motto drawn from Crowley's Book of the Law: «Do what thou wilt, is the whole of the law love is the law love under will », which the Imperator presents in his high degrees as being «one of the Rosicrucian Laws» which - says Lewis - he has refrained from using in any of the lower Degrees of A.M.O.R.C. «because it is so apt to be misunderstood».73 "

    So, does anyone know if AMORC actually used Do what thou wilt, is the whole of the law love is the law love under will? If so, can you point me to the actual lesson or document that says it? Or at what degree it is given?

    Thanks,
    David

    93,

    AMORC is separate from OTO and its teachings. Crowley once tried to take over AMORC.

    Thanks. I understand that. I'd like to know if it is true that AMORC used "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" in one of it's higher degree papers.
