Does the cOTO manufacture Cakes of Light? I am almost sure that these are made on an individual basis and therefore obviously this is a choice of individual discretion (or of the particular lodge).

its absolutely absurd to think that 9th and 11th degrees dont require sexual contact - thats like playing soccer without a field and a soccer ball but just kind of looking over the theoretical rules of play...
Quote: › Now if this is the case has the Caliphate OTO corrupted the work? Does the leadership see sexuality has a thing of fear and not a an act of celebration?
Corrupted 'the work'? What are you talking about? All they are 'corrupting', if anything, is their own work. How does this affect you whatsoever? You are free to ejaculate into your cakes of light any time you will.

Whilst being no friend of the Caliphate O.T.O. leadership, these seem to me rather insubstantial grounds to suppose that they have or are corrupting the work.
There seems to be insubstantial evidence any of this is true.

(For the record: I'm not writing this to slander anyone just adding to the discussion.)
Why would you get flak for claiming something you have absolutely no proof of? It just makes you look silly.
This entire thread is based aroud fruitless speculation and hearsay.
