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 mor...
Well as long as we can agree that Thetans are real. Seriously though, interesting link.
When Einstein called "it" "spooky action at a distance," he was doing so as a negation of the possibility of the idea. He wrote: "“I cannot seriously ...
The Hieronymous Machine. They had one here in the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices before it closed. John W Campbell Jr was a huge proponent of ...
I'd love to see some peer reviewed publications that suggest as much.
@katrice Good to know!
I am no fan of the music but check out the robes. There is only Thelemic iconography. I assume the lead singer is "using" this as opposed to being a T...
They are rarely that succinct or that on point.
Has living sons?
It's arguably necessary. I don't have a copy of Regardie's original Golden Dawn anymore but the book begins with a quote endorsing this exact enterpri...
Haha, ok.
That's literally all I was saying. I never pick on people. It's all just good conversation and learning.
Gematria was in quotes because what katrice described was, of course, not gematria. It's numerology, or a search for meaning, significance and relatio...
One of the finest definitions of "gematria" there is.
"You won't believe what I tell you no matter how often I do" counting as "data" seems to be a problematic threshold.
A good example of which is what?
From a large enough bag of quote-data there is certain to be an element of WTF. But equating the irrational with the illogical doesn't help clear anyt...
I understand. I just assumed that, if it was under discussion, it was up for discussion.
Fair enough. Whatever the science was when Crowley was referring to it as a method. Which party? Quantum math and/or physics isn't illogical....
So much for the method of science? There is, of course, the possibility that scientific limitations alone are not the reason why it is impossible to p...
The property line is the indisputable proof. The photos of the house are the arguable proof.
I couldn't begin to guess. You mean like entire religions are made up and then, sometimes, fade away (or at least fade into relative obscurity)?
Are "disorganizationh and excesses" necessarily traits of the bully? Literal bullying. But of the ones I have known (and the one I do know), I wo...
The final word from Mr. Heidrick who, as discussed, knows much. This also suggests there are at least a few KOB still wandering around. "I was there w...
Welcome back to the ebb and flow.
No offense to anyone but that really seems more like a Brooklyn internship than Manhattan.
The only book I'll never lose.
As bright yellow as they come. Or came. I mean, you know what I mean.
Fair enough.
Lulu it is.
A good policy! I believe it. I just want to get it from the place that gives the author the largest cut which may or may not be Lulu.
*You're. Is there no edit function on this forum? Edit: There is for the newest post but then it goes away and is no longer available?
I'm legitimately confused. Why am I choosing a chapter of Naught? Your selling your books via Amazon, yes?
Why is it another matter? I was going to buy it at some point.
I still have the hardcover. Political organization with magick as a side-hustle. I'll have to buy and read it!
I thought it was Mildred. Potato, potato. I also have a different understanding of this. I thought they had typewritten versions of the SR that ne...
I just emailed him. I'll let you know.
At some point I hope to scan and make available his many letters to me. Bill certainly knows much. My guess is he'd be tight lipped.
I do recall this being true, and she spoke of him in far from flattering anecdotes. But this is also where you have to doubt some of those things said...
Those are some good info links though. The first is especially good. I wish there were more and better sources as to the conception as the info in the...
There were certainly dames but it was, to the best of my knowledge and experience, far ore OTO based than AA. Let's have those links!
Mea culpa. I'll get the hang of it. 😖 I didn't want to volunteer too much information for fear of faux pas though, hopefully, stepping on the guid...
Before this gets buried by new posts I thought I'd comment in the hopes of prompting contribution. Fingers crossed.
I hadn't picked up on until this last go around...
He regularly antagonizes posts on the Thelema subreddit. Sounds very much in the vein of someone we all know, cough rtc cough.
If a magician takes an initiation in a temple and no one is there to sign an official document, did it really happen?
An assessment of what?
