What is to be comprehended?

Mainly that we are down from "the ultimate proof - via the Horus Toy - that the supernatural really exists" to a "leap forward towards a comprehension of the metaphysical."

Looking forward to the dispatch of mine with keen anticipation.

Compared to the last two volumes, this one is fairly hefty at over 200 pages. Unlike you, I am NOT a speed reader and may take a bit longer in going through it. With Kyle given a head start, Ignant and Kidneyhawk enter the Race to Conquer...er, Review!

It's been interesting observing a group of individuals that for some bizarre reason are attracted to the writings of Aleister Crowley, when they have no genuine convictions concerning them, and are critical of anyone that does: I'm sure a psychologist would have a field day with it.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PQ_NMGcceEtVTHLfHOSFUxft6MJav0mq/view?usp=sharing

( Source: This thread page 8 - - - https://www.lashtal.com/forums/news-articles/its-time-put-the-fairy-tales-down/paged/8/#post-121132 )

 

In the hyperlinked document titled ARTICLES OF CERTAINTY © 2022 Timothy Moss, you quote the verses 75 and 76 from the second chapter of Aleister Crowley's The Book of the Law:

"75. Aye! listen to the numbers & the words:

76. 4 6 3 8 A B K 2 4 A L G M O R 3 Y X 24 89 R P S T O V A L. What meaneth this, o prophet? Thou knowest not; nor shalt thou know ever. There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it. [...]".

At the ending of this document you state that a group of Egyptian masters have tasked you with "... the delivery of a system of magick and initiation designed exclusively for Thelemites."

 

That AC in his The Book of the Law as its prophet does not know what "4 6 3 8 A B K 2 4 A L G M O R 3 Y X 24 89 R P S T O V A L", means, and will never know this, is in line with AC later in this book writing [Chapter I verse 56.:] "All words are sacred and all prophets true; save only that they understand a little; ...".

 

Our minds and bodies are veils of our 'star' or our 'Inmost Light' or our 'Being Beyond Form', which is our original, individual, eternal essence. Everything in itself is perfect, and originally perfect by definition, but the Perfect enjoys experience of (apparent) Imperfection, (apparent) Imperfection that the Perfect can overcome by us making our veils transparent, by going through initiations in the Great Work, which consists principally in the solution of complexes. 

(Source: AC's New Comment" his The Book of the Law's chapter 1 verse 8.)

AC does in chapter 66 of his autobiography Confessions AC states that after his The Book of the Law which is the most important book of his Thelema, The Vision and the Voice is the second most important book.

The Vision and the Voice is the source of many of the central doctrines of Thelema concerning initiation, and contains an account of how an individual might cross the Abyss.

AC does in The Vision and the Voice presents a 'Choronzon', as responsible for mental scattering, distraction and illusions, and decribes that crossing the Abyss is to come face to face with Choronzon, stating:

"... Choronzon feareth of all things concentration and silence: he therefore who would command him should will in silence: thus is he brought to obey." 

(Source: The Vision and the Voice, The Tenth Aethyr.)

 

 

In The Vision and the Voice,The Cry of the 13th Aethyr, an angel informs AC this: "And now that thou art called NEMO, the answer to every riddle that thou hast not found shall spring up in thy mind, unsought."

There he is also 'informed': "... from the 1st Aethyr to the 15th Aethyr, there is no vision and no voice, save for him that is called NEMO. And he that seeketh the vision and the voice therein is led away by dog- faced demons that show no sign of truth, seducing from the Sacred Mysteries, unless his name be NEMO[*]."

This angel does in addition state: "Thou dost well to keep silence, for I perceive how many questions arise in thy mind; yet already thou knowest that the answering, as the asking, must be vain. For NEMO[*] hath all in himself. He hath come where there is no light or knowledge, only when he needeth them no more." 

 

( [*] NEMO (Latin for No-One) is within Aleister Crowleys initiatory system for his Thelema, a name used for those practitioners that have crossed Abyss (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Work_(Thelema).).)

 

Timothy Moss, my quotes above concerning Crowleys initiatory system for his Thelema, indicates that you if you cross the Abyss according to his system, shall spontaneously get "the answer to every riddle that thou hast not found".

Those quotes does also indicate that any NEMO according to AC's system, "already [...] knowest that the answering, as the asking, must be vain. For NEMO hath all in himself."

AC's already existing initiatory system for his Thelema, appears to be wide open for any NEMO to spontaneously get the answer to the riddle in verse 76 in the second chapter of AC's The Book of the Law, as any NEMO has all in itself to do so according to that system. 

Timothy Moss, as already mentioned you state that "... a group of Egyptian masters" has tasked you with "... the delivery of a system of magick and initiation designed exclusively for Thelemites.",

Is it going to be the case for this system delivered by you Timothy Moss, that the answer to the riddle in verse 76 in chapter 2 of BOTL spontaneously gotten by any NEMO (either according to your system or according to AC's system), will be equally valid to your answer to that riddle, if you are already a NEMO, or will be more valid than yours, if you are not already a NEMO?

Thelema, appears to be wide open for any NEMO to spontaneously get the answer to the riddle in verse 76 in the second chapter of AC's The Book of the Law, as any NEMO has all in itself to do so according to that system. 

This is correct. Hoever, the folks who "solve the puzzle" do it - and then they announce their "solution" or status in order to enlighten or convince other folks who ate not Nemo, and thus they (the others) are willing to listen, in hopes of a new Magus who will save them the trouble of figuring it out for themselves.

Posted by: @wellreadwellbred

if you are not already a NEMO? 

Actually, the Crowley Commentary says he will be a Magus. This is obviously so, because if Nemo keeps his Silence, how can he "expound" it? He can't. His lips are sealed. He must go active (Chokmah) to get the word(s) out.

Can one only be chosen by the 'Secret Chiefs' to have the status of Magus ( — I guess akin to how Timothy Moss has been chosen by 'a group of Egyptian masters' with "... the delivery of a system of magick and initiation designed exclusively for Thelemites." — ) or is the staus of Magus available for everyone sufficiently advanced through initiation?

 

Crowley's Commentary stating that it takes being a Magus to be the "There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it", mentioned after the "riddle" in verse 76, within the second chapter of his The Book of the Law, is a statememt contradicted and invalidated by Crowley's Commentary to verse 8 i chapter 1 of this book.

There he states that one's star is one's original, individual, eternal essence, originally perfect by definition, and that one's originally perfect star is attainable or available to one as the end result of one going through initiation. 

That is, the "There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it", mentioned after the "riddle" in verse 76, within the second chapter of Crowley's The Book of the Law, pertains to the end result of the same Crowley going through initiation, which is the full attainment of his originally perfect star, and this end result "shall expound" the meaning of this riddle to him. 

That this is the case is substantiated and supported by these verses in Aleister Crowley's The Book of the Law, chapter 2:

"54. Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou, o prophet shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein. [AC's status as the prophet of his Thelema, preceded the end result of him going throug intiation.]

55. The child of thy bowels [= the end result of you going through initiation], he shall behold them."

 

This being the case is also substantiated and supported by statements in The Vision and the Voice,The Cry of the 13th Aethyr, (a book AC described  the second most important book).

Statements to the effect that to those practitioners that through initiation have crossed the Abyss "... the answer to every riddle that thou hast not found shall spring up in thy mind, unsought."

And statements to the effect that any such initiate has all in itself to spontaneously get the answer to the riddle in verse 76 in the second chapter of AC's The Book of the Law.

 

With respect to the "... system of magick and initiation designed exclusively for Thelemites.", that 'a group of Egyptian masters' has tasked him with delivering, one can hope that Timothy Moss' system will not be infested by statements that contradict and invalidate each other.

Well, so far I guess Mr. Moss hasn't expounded the meaning of the cypher, unless you buy it's his name and hometown. What he has done is to create one more English Qabalah based on a quite nice idea. That this kind of Key can lead to many other names and hometowns and words and phrases is plain to see and was shown. A good indicator that he is right might be that HE was visited by Egyptian masters and I for example) wasn't. I am "looking forward" to this new system of magick.

Latest update on the Forth-Coming: My copy of RTC's new opus has been dispatched on its usually meandering way from Lulu to me.

I have my soldering iron out and ready for the arrival of The Horus Toy (Lite)™ build details.

This is an important point, and I have not seen it anal-ized yet. There is a certain similarity between The Secret Chiefs and A group of Egyptian Masters.

First, I demand to see the validity of The Secret Chiefs (even though I have written about these fellows in their various manifestations).

Second, I request further info on the Group of Egyptian Masters. If they are real, then a photo-posting would be nice. If they are discorporate, then please refer back to "First" (above).

Crowley's Commentary stating that it takes being a Magus to be the "There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it"

This is correct, according to my feeble grasp of the subject. Also, One Star tells us that any man "can make personal progress to the grade of Magus ..."  They will not necessarily become "hostorical magi." They may go un-noticed ... but they will leave some change in some systemic sub-system of the cosmic change system as it plays our in our 3D world.

This procedure seems to be going on longer than usual ... probably due to the supply chain crisis event and the lack of Pony Express riders who still know how to ride fast horses for hours. Please use non-lead solder in order to prevent lead-fume poisoning.

The unnoticed Magi is a very good point.  Hence the Chiefs are secret....wait...can a normal man really become a 'Secret Chief' ? If so, what does that mean?

My wife and I enjoyed some Pho for lunch this afternoon. I added Sriracha, red pepper sauce and then chili oil to mine. There was sweat. There were tears. It was the BEST!

The ship arrived in Wisconsin last week.

 

“666, Sex and the New Aeon of Horus,” to my present perspective, is most likely RTC's “Magnum Opus.” It contains both new and previously published material in an appendix. He presents his grand overview on Crowley, the Aeon(s) and where he sees Humanity developing at this stage in evolution. I imagine Shiva would regard it as his “Thesis.”

 

His view of Crowley is ambivalent, as usual. Richard has already stated on more than one occasion that he sees Crowley as having stumbled into something larger than he could comprehend, something he would spend the rest of his life trying to sort it out. He sees Thelema, the religion established by Crowley, as superfluous at best and more likely than not to get in the way of anyone's direct encounter with the Fountainhead Crowley accessed.

 

In place of all the rituals and claptrap, RTC presents a picture of the Consciousness in which we are all participants to some degree or another. He proposes a method to momentarily access the “Singularity” from which manifestation proceeds and use position in that moment (really, a moment beyond moments) to cause a quantum shift or radical change (involving what is commonly regarded as paranormal phenomena) in our world according to Will.

 

I've not read through it all yet (again, not a speed reader) and this is not my formal “review.” Of course, I had to jump ahead to the section on “The Horus Toy” (which he also refers to as the “Paranormal Portal Opener,” presumably prior to the term “Horus Toy” being tacked onto allusions to his device-and later taken up and embraced in context of this work).

 

On page 108, RTC will inform his reader that a full description of the PPO/HT is beyond the scope of this present work but will appear in the next and forthcoming volume, The Paranormal Decided. That being the case, the author DOES offer, in its stead, The “Horus Toy Lite.” A preview of things to come? (no pun intended-but apropos, as readers of the book will soon discover)

 

What follows is a guide to implementing the “two components” of the “Toy” which will then produce the Paranormal Effect. RTC gives both theory and practice for flipping the trigger and making it happen. How this is implemented I'll hold off on until others receive their copies of the book and a proper discussion can begin. This isn't a tease-it would just be unfair to begin debating over the merits of the Toy in Theory and Practice based on partial information shared from an incomplete reading of the book. I WILL say that what I've read thus far is reminiscent to me of “Sleight of Mind” and Sigil Casting ala Chaos Magic. I'm not seeing much new here in terms of “tech” save RTC's presentation or application (i.e. novel methods to generate and accumulate sexual energy into a functional PPO battery-and methods to “aim the gun” when it discharges). As far as I can ascertain, the human body and mind is the battery-so no soldering required.

 

But then this is the “Horus Toy LITE.” The full model will be unveiled in the subsequent book in the series.

 

Again, these are some opening words regarding my first read of this book. I've still got lots of pages to digest yet. I'd like to present a fair review of the book without launching into my own views on the topic(s) but this may be impossible. I certainly have questions and comments so far and I am still standing by those comments I made here some long time ago now: I feel what was previously hinted at with regards to the HT (as a new revelation) has actually been declared before Crowley was even born by luminaries such as Blake-and subsequently given practical direction through figures such as Neville Goddard. 

 

The Race to Review is still on... 🙂

How many times did @therealrtc promise that he would release a physical device for accomplishing magick, or later, plans to build one, called The Horus Toy™, on April 1, 2022? And wasn't that promised release date delayed from the original announced timeline?

No surprise at all that he is, in addition to being 18 days late, one The Horus Toy™ short.

We are, after all, still waiting for the Pirie watermarks appendix to The Governing Dynamics of Thelema for how many years now? He is beginning to rival the (c)OTO for failure to deliver promised publications.

I do look forward to reading whatever it is that he has delivered with even keener anticipation after reading your Coming Attractions pre-review.

Why, yes, from your description, it fits the requirement.

I hope the Appendix includes (just a brief) autobiography revolving around spheres 5 through 10. Without such a foundation, a 7=4 certificate, suitable for mounting in one's mount Olympus control room, cannot be issued.

However, other famous filosophers got "head of a school" status without formal A.'.A.'. training, so sure, let's accept it as his "thesis." The thesis committee is warming up the soldering iron even as we write ... to build a working model - or to inflict veracity upon the author. You know what the doctors say ... It can go either way.

Okay. So far, so good. This is also a key factor in the IX*, so there's nothing here for the well-read, but maybe a glimmer of light for the less-bred.

108 is a significant number in the Orient. In the accidental Occident, it means he has fucked his readers over for another year or two. I don't see how this can be a 7=4 Magnum Opus Thesis Revelation unless it discloses his full theory of the Universe. Now the entire series might well qualify. Four Books. Four Volumes. One Thesis. Drawn out over several years. With pompous marketing.

But the earlier volumes (parts of an alleged Thesis) have already demonstrated chicanery and false claims. How can the entire control room be stable if it's built on a scaffold of crumbling timbers? It can't. I see trouble coming with the dissertation committee.

The Tribunal is overloaded. Everybody's karma is coming to a head in these Last Days before The End of the World. RTC is on trial for maliciously pushing back deadlines. The Tong is still in suspended animation, awaiting ink in a supply chain crisis. Motta's case has come up for appeal (again). Timothy Moss is under investigation by WellReadWellBred. Wow! Keeping 4 Tribunals running in one big mausoleum is hard to coordinate.

But I'm just trying to keep the various pretenders straight in my mind. All four of them are headed to the stake or the gallows, so it doesn't really matter who said they would do what and then didn't. It's this "due process" and "fair hearing" stuff that slows the executions down. We actually give everybody (somestimes anybody) a chance to show and tell.

Mine Gott!  It's an impossible task ... to reveal the mysteries, or at least one of them, and then slip in your own authority or importance, expecting anything other than stones, soldering irons, and demands for proof.

This from some "Mark White", who received a beta version of the Horus Toy:
 
"I am delighted to be the recipient of such a great honour. I have not attempted riding the Horus Toy you so kindly supplied me with, and I was unaware it was rideable. Perhaps this only applies to the new improved models. I know it’s a bit cheeky, but I hope it will be OK to bring the mutt with me as I have become totally reliant on him. However, he is decidedly wary of the Horus Toy. He is normally placid and laid back to the point of being almost comatose, but he has attacked the HT on several occasions, fortunately with very little success!!

 

I am sure Lutz and I will get on fine, even though we have differing views on eLGMOR!"
 
Here is some proof of its powers, again by "Mark White":
 
"Richard, I cannot really believe it, but your HT has worked an unbelievable miracle. I suddenly got an email from Eamonn, yes an actual email, and, all the outstanding books I have ordered magically appeared on my doorstep today. I had given up all hope, I had thought that even the HT may not work, even using it in combination with the Magicole Hair. But it worked, much to the dismay of my solicitor who thought he was about to earn an outrageous fee."
 
Mr. Cole:
 
"The Horus Toy™ is self-activating, auto-installing and self-calibrating. Everyone you experience will begin to resonate with the Horus Frequency stirring in yer sporran.

 

"Change in conformity with will" - All Hail Horus."
 

Sounds like a flesh lamp to me.... ordered the book, not received yet. Dont think I want the instructions either.

Well, yes. The idea is to disable or kill the opponent with a single blow. Up or down is not a consideration.

Well, hmmm, I gues Farcebook and Twitting and dReadit are places where one can sell more books and bamboozle more boobs.

Of course (naturally), we don't see him opening up his own New AeonTM Forum Hall. An armchair critic.

It's funny how some folks can't take the Heat of Proof-providing. An armchair fabricator. No muscle. Call Charles Atlas.

The book does seem to fall into reiterations of his conviction that he’s proven Crowley fabricated “the reception” et al, great gobs of repetition, endless streams of words that don’t actually say anything, a lot of “No one has ever managed to discern” around what certainly appears to be exactly what AO Spare discerned and Chaos Magick discerned/elaborated, and his normal endless spam of “Here’s what my next book will talk about”.
 
Unsurprising, but then I did buy yet another book (final for me), so I’m feeding the troll.

Don't feel poorly about it, though. The money he gets is not enough to provide but a few meals. So nobody is feeding the troll's treasure chest.

... in the next book

Posted by: @katrice

Doesn't he have to stop here to tell us all how ignorant we are ... ?

Apparently not. He got an awfully hard time here last time (last book). Since we don't agree with him on some points, we have been abrogated from the New Aeon. Hail Horus!

Now we must pick up all the pieces and start over again. This time, let's go back to the 13-moon-month calendar. Then we'll pick a supreme deity from the bird kingdom. This time let's cast it in a mysterious Tibetan backdrop. All Egyptian pretenders to be abrogated and painted in RTC Black.

I mean, only if we're up to it. I'm not. Probably best to just let the whole matter slide into the Qliphoth Bin ... but I'll wait for the next review or two. [his fingers impercepibly move closer to the SLIDE button.

So, this is a really silly and bizarre, and kind of a pointless, book.

Among its best qualities is that the pages are consecutively numbered*. Although some might say claiming it is 240 pages by counting the front cover, the front inside cover, the inside back cover, and the back cover, among other non-text pages, is a bit much. Especially because only 113 of those pages (heavily illustrated with sometimes legible RTC artworks) make up the text per se, padded out with 99 pages of stuff reprinted from his earlier books, interviews with him, ads for upcoming books, etc.

It in no way delivers on RTC's extravagant promises of what would be revealed on April 1, 2022. That, you se, will be revealed in his next book, The Paranormal Decided, which will really truly-uly-uly reveal the secrets of The Horus Toy™.

Most of this book consists of long, rambling, and extremely repetitious paeans to the Aeon Of Horus, AC's greatness in discovering/triggering it (and his vile character, and many frauds), and of course RTC's insight into this massive spiritual great leap forward by humanity and greatness as inventor of the The Horus Toy™, mingled with whinging about "wokeflake" non-binary youths, while exulting in the "non-binary gender-fluid" New Aeon, and discussions of how COVID and the Russian invasion of Ukraine are Huge Signs of Aeonic Change.

And then there is a visit from a Man In Black, who warns him off publishing the details of The Horus Toy™.

To save you wasting $15 on this book: What is the The Horus Toy (Lite)™, which is revealed in the current book? It is a three step process to startle yourself:

  1. Obsess yourself sexually with someone you see often; inflame yourself with desire;
  2. "[A]rrange bed linen [to convince yourself they are] reclined beneath the duvet. Immediately disregard this..." and totally forget you have done this.
  3. "Several hours later, on re-entering that room, the wholly unanticipated illusion... in your bed will generate a reflex physical jolt."

Other suggested examples of how to startle yourself are balloons over candles, and sudden postal deliveries. Adapting sex magick techniques to sneezing is also explored.

A Sadie Sparks is credited as editor; it is fair to say she did not earn her money here, with the fairly numerous typos, and very numerous repetitions of sentences, phrases, and entire paragraphs. Even by RTC's very low standards, this book is total crap, does not deliver on his hype, and yet again claims the real stuff is coming later. I wonder if i can get my money back?

Is another publishing date for that announced?

Looks I've been using the Horus Toy Lite daily since my divorce. "Can't wait" to get my copy.

I believe it is scheduled to come out right after that Appendix with the Pirie watermarks evidence, and that other Appendix with Rose's "Honeymoon Diary".

I would guess that the current book was cranked out in a huge hurry when he realized he had to cash that check his big mouth had written for him with his many promises of a 4/1/22 release of The Horus Toy™, and come up with something this month.

Many thanks for the review, ignant

"Sadie Sparks" made an appearance a few years ago now, when Cole was trying to create the impression that he had shuffled off this mortal coil and "Sadie" it was whose sad task was the editing of the literary remains.

How spooky!

So stuff Fr U:.D:. was writing about in the 90s.  For real, how is this revolutionary?

I haven't even read any of his stuff and I still would have expected that.

It isn't. He always disappoints.

In the future, he will continue to disappoint - because people want to believe in him and his mission. They shall be called The Children of Disappointment.

Using the force of sneezes to 'launch AOS sigils' is nothing new I've known about that for years, admittedly I read it on some random  Chaos Magick blog in the days of the early internet I believe....I'd rather not have a cold but anyway...

Are you sure that wasn't his literary agent warning him not to publish?

First the bed linen stuff and now this. Since I am allergic to dust (I guess) I am sneezing for half an hour every morning after lifting my head. Guess I am a walking Horus Toy.

In any case it wasn't an Egyptian Master, because those tend to order to publish.

In his defense, the sneeze magick part is a minor bit at the end, but just struck me as worthy of comment.

I always sneeze twice in succession. My mother's friend Julie would always sneeze seven times in a row.

Sneeze magick calls to mind Dada god Marcel Duchamp's "assisted Readymade" sculpture "Why Not Sneeze, Rrose Selavy?". Because of course you can't (sneeze at will).

"Rrose Selavy", Duchamp's drag name, is a pun on "Eros, c'est la vie" ("Sex is life", loosely translated). If any lashtalian is ever in Philadelphia, go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art for their superb Duchamp collection- most of his major works are there. And then Pat's for cheesesteak, of course.

This is correct. It is olden tyme data. Myself, I heard about it around 1962-3. However, my input had nothing to do with sigils (the scribble of the underword) or AOS (who by his own confession was a rotten magician).

Posted by: @the_real_simon_iff

No. You are a sneezing Horus Tao. The mind stops (just for an instant) in orgasm and a sneeze. The IX*, AOS, Sneezing, and Wu-wei all come together in The Void (which we are attempting to attain so as to get its energy for our perverse mundane personal needs) ...

If you simply go mindless and follow the Tao (not the ToyTM), going about your daily life, sneezing but happy, you will be Spared the karma of retribution for fiddling with the cosmic machine.

I double checked the publication date, Fr U:.D:.'s Practical Sigil Magic was published in 1990.  It covers the startling technique, sneezing, and more.

A valiant attempt to save us all?

My only interest was curiosity about his vision of the Aeon.  At this point, though, he seems to be going down the same road as Amado.

My mundane personal needs are only rarely perverse.  😉

One part of his agenda is to bring down the OTO (AFAIK he is a disgruntled ex-member) by proving that it is all build on lies and fabrications. I have the feeling many people (probably no-one here) would like to see this, and don't give a damn about what RTC is actually talking about.

There were. Today, he may now have lost any loose threads of a "following."

Anybody still in his line, some say it is enough to listen to but ONE of his sentences, is waiting to buy a ticket on The Qliphoth Express - Now preparing to descend ... slide ... into oblivion.

One of the great features of LAShTAL is it's entertainment value. It's like living in a medieval castle, and troubadours and bards come driving by. Of course, to get caught up in their drama too much is to engage in distraction from the Work.

Since none of these fascinating entertainers have anything to offer that remotely resembles a do-dad that will get us out of here any sooner, or at least offers harmony in one\s present rat nest, it is wise to keep pinches or grains of salt handy at all times while operating within the forum halls.

Please enroll in a course in clinical psychiatry. You will need to be a MD first. Then do the 3 years residency in the booby-hatch. Finally, correlate everything RTC says against your clinical experience. Prescribe the appropriate medication.

OR ...

Just take my word for it. This is an example of what can (and does) go wrong on the Path ... which is rather dangerous, indeed. Every aspirant is entitled to 15 minutes of defamation ... some take more - it's called Grabbing the Spotlight and holding on for Iyears.

Exactly.

"Personal" karma, that is. When one graduates to the next floor (up), there is a whole new bundle of universal karma waiting to be solved or balanced. It just goes on, and up, like this forever.

Until one sneezes.

Between the Duchamp and the 'cheese wiz', aka 'wit', there is the Rodin Museum there in Philadelphia.

Old sneezes in a new bottle? Readers are expected to pay for stuff that is easily sneezed up here ... for free?

I don't have any interest in bringing down the OTO. They'll do that (and are currently at it) all by themselves and sooner than imagined. But, the more light shed on just how much of all of the things that are taken so seriously are actually lies and fabrications, the better. 

That's no sooner coming from RTC than it is from the OTO.

Very well put. But there are many people who don't (and won't) know of another resource, will get near, get hit on the head, and move away forever.

Peter Hurkos fell off a roof and suddenly became "psychic." This siddhi was accompanied by headaches. But it shows that some may survive ... perhaps with disabilities. It's all a matter of karmatics.
