Happy Secular New Year!
Once again, it is time to publish an update to the myriad of disclosure statements that I already have on this blog.
[This disclosure is aimed at a particular school of thought---I am sorry, but I disagree with you. Yet given the fact that you have objected to my book reviews and tried to get me to issue a disclosure on every book review stating (more or less) that the reader should not read my book reviews because of my lack of membership in a correct and true Golden Dawn Order, I feel that I must issue this disclosure before you insist that I issue one.]
Over the past year, it has been revealed that the Secret Chiefs (Third Order) broke contact with Mathers in 1906 when Crowley published the Golden Dawn rituals and the first two rituals of the RR et AC, along with some of the teachings developed by Mathers. The reasons for this severing of contact was that Mathers allowed an untrustworthy member into his Order, one who broke his secrecy oaths, and that Mathers had went too far in his mixing of egregores (lores, traditions, currents, energies) that were never meant to be mixed. In other words, the Third Order had no clue what Mathers was doing until Crowley published the rituals and Inner Order material which just added to the insult that someone had broken their secrecy oath.
The reason that I must issue a disclosure update is that the fact that I rather like the mixing of traditions and lores. And in the interests of keeping you safe and ensuring that you only become a member of legitimate and recognized Orders (which the BIOGD/BIORC is not), so that you might someday be allowed into the glories of Third Order, you must be warned not to consider joining the Order I belong to.
Remember the words of an acknowledged expert in this matter:
"[The] fact is that the Third Order must find you...if you are deemed worthy
they will eventually contact you. [The] only way in being spotted by
them is by joining any of the true and authentic Rosicrucian bodies."
The fact that I do not think that Mathers went too far, besides being a working writer, ensures that I will never be contacted by the Third Order. If you ever hope to be contacted by them, you really should not be reading anything that I write. This is especially true considering that a lot of my work over the years has been involved in expanding the results of this errorous set of teachings. And whatever you do, resist the urge to come back tomorrow to read my post about the mixing of symbols as revealed by the Cipher Manuscript.
Ye have been warned.

It is assuming that everything happens in a nice tidy literal way. Crowley's publication revealed that the order had gone beyond the 5=6, and the Secret Chiefs had authorised it. They could not blame Mathers for the fact Crowley had broken his oath and published the material would make the guys control freaks on a grand scale.
I think Mathers lost his contacts before that. I would suspect it was around, or just before or just after the revolt.
