Lambda First

Lambda first is considered the worst initiation order for promoting Faustery

It is listed as a single initiation order rather than lao and loa because the tendency is for someone who has done lambda first to branch off from Lambda to both Alpha and Omega and have issues with both of them

"Starting with Lambda isn’t very appealing to most people, but it’s extremely appealing to priests. Many try to start with Lambda and then go to Omega. Something that can frankly come off as borderline insulting to someone who has worked at Lambda If you start with Lambda then Alpha is a natural continuation, but Omega can come off as insulting as it involves essentially being told your work was for nothing. Starting with Lambda may be the reason why a lot of organized religions today are losing members, especially for Christian groups which tend to push the Lambda-Omega order. Lambda-Omega comes off as insulting, it makes someone put in a ton of personal work, only to be told at the end that they have just been given unconditional salvation. The Lambda-Alpha order tends to create highly competent people with a deficiency in compassion. Arguably much of the American school and career system or even capitalism as a whole goes through this progression. The unique thing about starting with Lambda is that you can go in both directions. Become a disillusioned person resentful of the vulnerable by moving to Omega, and also becoming a highly competent callous person. This has arguably been a part of Protestant cultures for a long time, with the archetypal contrast embodied in a Protestant Freemason unsure whether they can reach salvation through their own spiritual work (Freemasonry/Lambda-Alpha) or whether they are hopefully incapable of achieving salvation no matter how hard they work (Protestantism/Lambda-Omega)."
