"P1" is the higher or inner order of the Priory, "P2" is the lower or outer order. How this lines up with the grade system in HBHG is unclear. I still don't know whether "P1" has 5, 7, or 9 grades. DM maintains "P2" is 'split' - the European branch is up to all that nastiness going on in Italy and elsewhere, his American branch is busy helping homeless people and doing charitable work. There could possibly be other "P2's" on other continents, but I doubt it, I can't see much reason why they'd have branches operating in Africa or Asia. (Now, watch as soon as I finish saying this, a new African POSer named "Kumata Grailata" descended from Prester John of Ethiopia pops on the list.) (DM's "NWP2" has two tiers itself - the higher order is his International Gnostic Catholic Church, with 22 degrees, and the lower order is his Sword & Shield with - hmm - was that seven? ) SM's sources have told her, however, that the chain doesn't stop there - apparently there is a "P3" through "P7." If there really are 7 "P's", and each of them has several grades with an arithmetically progressing membership, then the Priory consists of a HELLUVA lot of people. But according to Guelfi, it seems like some of the lower "P's" (like the Dragon Order) belong to orders controlled by Sion who have no idea they're actually controlled by it. They are in the PoS, in a sense, without even knowing it! As Robert Anton Wilson once put it, "Sometimes you don't even know you're in the Illuminati... until it's too late."
