Hyatt also co founded the Thelemic Order of the Golden Dawn with David Cherubim in Los Angeles on the Vernal Equinox of 1990.

Alan Miller was trained in experimental and clinical psychology and practiced as a psychotherapist. The 18 units earned from his military GED towards his first academic career were used at Los Angeles City College, where he studied accounting for two years. He later changed his graduate to General Psychology, earning master's degrees in experimental psychology and medical education and Counseling. He was a member of a Freudian clinic in Southern California. He spent almost a year studying hypnosis at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in Los Angeles and also studied hypnosis at the University of California, Irvine. Miller held PhDs in both clinical psychology and human behavior and was a Postdoctoral researcher in Criminal Justice. Some of his techniques blended Reichian physiotherapy and tantric yoga. He also incorporated hypnosis alongside his bodywork with patients and students. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Alan R. Miller's research was published in various peer reviewed articles and professional journals.

Miller's interest in the occult began in his early twenties. His desire to further pursue his studies in magick resulted in meeting Israel Regardie in Studio City in the 1970s. Regardie introduced Miller to Reichian therapy, which he insisted Miller learn prior to any magical pursuits. Regardie further instructed Miller in the magical system of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Miller formed New Falcon Publications in 1980 and, adopting the pseudonym Christopher S. Hyatt, began publishing out of his Sedona, Arizona home. In 1987 Lon Milo DuQuette initiated Hyatt into Ordo Templi Orientis. Hyatt went on to become a Ninth Degree member of the order. He later co founded (with David Cherubim) the Thelemic Order of the Golden Dawn in Los Angeles on the Vernal Equinox of 1990.

Hyatt died of cancer in Scottsdale, Arizona on February 9, 2008 at the age of 64.
