If you choose to engage with it, you'll find that Duty is quite a bit more than a dumbed down hors d'oeuvre. Regardless, "the Law is for all" means just what it says on the tin. "Yeah, many are called but few are chosen. Ha, few are chosen. I like it when xtianity and Thelema converge.

Is that so?
"Yes, do the work and find out for thyself.

Among other things.
"Like what?

That's quite a projection you've built up there. I wonder how true it really is.
"Ok so maybe "the people" with their "weak joys" get to feel high in other ways. Apart from fleeting drug euphorias would you care to tell us how, when and where "the people" rise above their "weak joys"?

I don't disagree with most of this... However, what Crowley decided to focus his life's work on and what Thelema is are not necessarily equivalent. If they were, then Thelemites would also be required to climb mountains, play chess, start communes, spy for the government, melt their minds on every substance available, and father several children, none if which are true. "
Lol you think too much. That's fallacious. Those mundane pass times of Crowley, the larval man, are mere external activities. Christ and Buddha apparently had no hobbies, probably because they never existed and are mythological uber pure spiritual beings who just float on clouds and preach. Crowley was a man like me, ergo we both have mundane hobbies e.g. I like to slam my punch bag now and again and make videos. Now I have done such activities as an ignorant Joe Average larval robot and as a living Tantric God who walks the earth but the activities remain the same, wheeras ...I ... don't.

A good analogy might be too look at Jung and note that the practical guidelines of Jungian analysis are sound and beneficial and still useful. One does not then need to follow Jung into his years of symbolic self-analysis and Red Book mysticism in order to continue doing the work. The option certainly is available... but just because that period was a part of Jung's biography, does not make it a necessary part of a present-day analyst's work.
"Again, this is just........ wayward.

You are welcome to be a Crowley-ite and practice Crowly-anity if that is your will, to follow his guidelines and recreate his biography of sex magick, but please try to do it with an awareness of the choice that it is. And, for the love of Thelema, please try not to force it on others as the only "true way" for them to discover their Wills.Else that kundalini snake might bite you on the back of the neck once you get her to rise. ;D"

"I appreciate your advice. On the contrary, I have com-passion for those who lack Tantric agni. It's difficult not to come across as a megalomaniac spiritual cult-guru when talking about trans larval realities to yokels. You say that you had extensive Tantric holdback experience so I'm sure you can appreciate that.

There's the opposite perspective:
@Liber X, v. 9 said
"This Knowledge is not for all men; few indeed are called, but of these few many are chosen."

"Each star is unique, and each orbit apart; indeed, that is the cornerstone of my teaching, to have no standard goals or standard ways, no othordoxies and no codes.
...... .... ...
Magick is the art of causing change in existing phenomena. This definition includes raising the dead, bewitching cattle, making rain, acquiring goods, fascinating judges, and all the rest of the programme. Good: but it also includes every act soever? Yes; I meant it to do so. It is not possible to utter word or do deed without producing the exact effect proper and necessary thereto. Thus Magick is the Art of Life itself."
- Aleister Crowley.
Allow me to highlight: "to have no standard goals or standard ways"

"Wasn't that in When Harry Met Sally? No, I've never done that to someone or had it done to me. We've got completely off topic (and I have my suspicions why a certain poster keeps getting off topic in various threads)."
I'd love to know how Tantic massage (which manipulates kindalini energy) is off topic.
I've booked a session with a Tantric therapist a few weeks or so away. Will let you know how it goes.

I'm stating the opinion that this has gotten off topic (talking about reiki sexual devices of dubious validity) based on Jim's previous use of the opinion when the question "why is khabs plural" was simply answered and then the thread was deemed off topic. The original topic is kundalini compared to prana compared to chi. I believe the topic has run it's course and if you want to discus specific models of something, you might prefer a unique thread.

This wouldn't have anything to do with a certain poster's leave of absence that almost exactly coincides with the friendly ghost infestation would it? Because that sort of reasoning is just fallacious, my friend.

"Not as specifically as you think I think, but related. I'm not suggesting it is either party specifically, but obviously one who is aware, and who sharing some of the same topics but from the opposite point of view.
*personally I support neither extreme of these specific topics (hence my quoting of Crowley earlier). My point is that extremism is the issue.

"I asked if khabs were plural. Jim clarified it, so thread over. I don't see the big deal."
No big deal is being made. Here you've asked "Is kundalini same thing as chi I.e. prana?" It has been answered. Do you always need Jim to tell you it has been clarified?
Anything beyond that is off topic.
