No drugs here
Among your many problems.
So clever mocking drug use, on a site devoted to the life and legacy of one of the biggest druggies ever to walk the planet. In the course of discussing the interpretation of a book that commands taking "strange drugs".
And so classy mocking Shiva for mentioning that the other (non AL) "Class A" docs are mostly "drug-induced, rambling but pretty prose", when he was agreeing with you that he too has "no interest in any of the other texts that are classified as A in Crowley's corpus."
No drugs here, but I can't say I'm certain about you given your posture.
Um, you seem to have missed the point. I was referring to the Liber Class A Scriptures having been scripted by AC who was in a drug-induced euphoria at the time.
I mentioned that you, like myself, disdain the importance of (some of) the A docs. I then ran on about Liber B, which might be the fourth most-important text in Thelemic literature ... according to my Thelema short-count Kalendar and List.
Anyway, if there's no strange drugs in your Temploratory, how can anyone take you seriously or Siriusly? The injunction in Ch 3 of the "holy" scripture, (L or AL), says you are supposed to take [them] with wine. However, you are advised to not break any laws in the UK or USA wjile doing so.
... the biggest druggies ever to walk the planet.
Um (again), there's a consideration here involved.
Rather than get philosophical about it, please allow me to modify your sentence as a possible alternative ...
"... the biggest druggies ever to walk the planet" without overdosing unto disability or death, while maintaining an unjailed, semi-normal position in contemporary society.
a book that commands taking "strange drugs"
Oh. You noticed.
... he was agreeing with you that he too has "no interest in any of the other texts that are classified as A in Crowley's corpus."
Oh. You noticed.

My apologies. A person can only absorb so much cryptic double-speak before the need arises to deflect it, referring to Crowley among others.

That would be chapter two. As your neighbor next door, you know in Tejas such forms of worship are still met with a Draconian frown. Your neck of the woods seems to be coming around though.

The irony.... oooh, it stings!

Not as bad as you humping my leg constantly. 🤣

As it takes two to tango, and from my reading of the Judgment of the last locked thread, did concern two participants, one of whom is not named in the present warning.
Unfortunately there is a third, whom works in a tag team, and in this thread started the collapse of the discussion by calling Herupakraath's participation not on topic and accusatory in a superfluous manner:
"Oh, how elevated beyond the drug-induced, rambling but pretty prose you are." --Shiva
Of course Herupakraath has opened himself up to the potential that 'folk folly' might meet his computed discoveries, which might be the desired badge of recognition sought through the auspices of this Society and participants doing their part to deliver the bait.
And where I have found Ignant666's critique of Herupakraath's work welcome; and at times 'baroquely' comical, to then though pile on to Shiva's innuendo by attacking Herupakraath work because Herupakraath does not do drugs is silly and represents what is more of a popular culture misperception of Crowley and his work in my opinion.
But that, in itself, should not have caused Herupakraath to resort to such a thoroughly indecent response as to suggest he is the victim of continual attempted rape by a canine for said "15" years by Ignant666. That certainly goes beyond the pale as Ignant666 obviously is not a dog per the his avatar picture, suggestive of man or a god, though most likely high, we might look at the words as "God" "dog" and "highest" found in II.19, might be argued that the rejoinder was proper, but relative to an back alley and not Society.
Yes AC had a "monkey on his back" but that he and the Ape of Thoth had succumbed to everyday drugs, does not mean that they were not strange when first used...but I digress, and while AC was not known to bark, he certainly wag a tale.
Thus my note comes as one a bit disappointed with the locking of the last locked thread, but do recognize the Moderators's exercise of discretion to keep things in line for sake of a wider audience and other participants.
The consolation, relative to locked threads, is that all the threads seem to blend themselves in such a way that what was the original concern of a thread might be seeming lost by locking...For we see that lost topics things pick up again on other thread, as all the threads seem to have the potential off wondering off into any part of the hologram of the greater Crowleyean Ur-topic, which is the greater beast...
Thanks for this Site!

@shiva I think you made a typo, "strange drugs" is found in Chapter 2, not 3.
H.'.,
An extraordinarily long post with rambles and long words. So long that I just skipped to the reply box, wondering ...
You are replying directly to LAShTAL, explaining how Heru came to losing his cool and degenerated into vulgar sex-dog mode lingo ... in the longest, most twisted post I have seen this week, wherein you try to explain the dynamics of what is going on.
Thank you.

That is really bad reading comprehension.
Crowley is known to have imbibed random things before getting his mind right to channel these Libers.
"... the biggest druggies ever to walk the planet" without overdosing unto disability or death, while maintaining an unjailed, semi-normal position in contemporary society.
'semi normal'
Grady McMurphy and others on this board, myself included come to mind.
Sometimes annoyingly so. Oh well.
Embrace the suck?
I am getting a very vague grasp of the mathematics in this thread.
I thought the encoding of Pi etc into AL per the book OF THIS TOPIC/THREAD was very astounding.
Can someone explain how it is not astounding but, perhaps, expected? It would be appreciated.
I know it involves factors as in numerical factors? as in a factor of number X.
Grady McMurphy ...
McMurtry, if spelt correctly, was a bit the other side of semi-normal. He admitted to overdosing [LSD] and losing his grip for 2 years. He had to be looked-after and guided on the physical plane due to alcoholic overdosing.
Embrace the suck?
No. Please control your output.
Can someone explain how it is not astounding but, perhaps, expected? It would be appreciated.
I, personally, that is, me, have found nothing to be either astounding or expected in the words, letters, code books, numbers. Whenever something comes up that has a practical use, I will be congratulatory.
By "practical use," I mean find water (or gold is ok), restore health, open portals to other dimensions, promote internal or external harmony, or both ... that sort of thing.
I beliwvw (oh, no) that this is not the explanation you were seeking. Oh, well.
