Seasoned mystic and practicing magician; I have been practicing various aspects of Tantra (kriya, mantra yoga etc...) and Zen, buddhism etc... for over 25 yrs now; I was introduced to Thelema by my dear friend (an O.T.O. 2nd initiate back then) some 15 or 17 yrs ago.
A lot have transpired since then and at present I am mostly into Enochian operations (I love Aethyrs) and all major rituals of our line of thought/practice.I like pragmatical aspects of our work (when I say "our" I mean the works under the Law as introduced by Master Therion) and do have certain reservations about mental/theoretical speculations, although I know mental acrobatics are a significant phase in mystical/magickal career.
I like to consider my tendencies as those of a Thelemite with no publicly shared affiliation to any Order.

Welcome.
"I like to consider my tendencies as those of a Thelemite with no publicly shared affiliation to any Order."
I like to think that Thelema is currently like early Christianity, in that there are a lot of different sects/schools/orders/etc. (and plenty of unaffiliated "believers") each with a unique approach. In the spirit of trying to avoid anything similar to the First Council of Nicea, which promoted orthodoxy and ended a lot of that experimentation, may I say that I hope we never strive too hard for consensus.
