Help This Lost Lost Soul
-
Feel free to disregard this post...
Do you feel as though you something to offer? or to be recognised? Maybe in the down time strengthening your natural abilities, and your self worth ... your philosophies and your general inner convictions etc...
I feel everybody needs to do this even without the magick side things.. you may find after soul searching that you dont wish to work in a large group (crowley himself dissuaded from working in very large groups)
If you still see yourself as a child (i say this lovingly lol) then your potential is not met (your own image of it or others etc) ... you can give a child a tool box and they can sure hit a nail with a hammer... but a child is going to leave more gaping holes in the walls than if an adult had held the hammer...
my advice is... go into a chatroom, any chat room, and start leaving hints about yourself as you get to know people - you'd be AMAZED how well you can connect with other "loners" who know it or not are desperate for somebody to brainstorm with and research with and get excited with. find somebody by coincidence- they are the best relationships grins
in the down time use this board community to your FULL advantage!! comment on everything, the worst somebody is going to do is say it doesnt apply to THIER theories, or (in a positive way) get you to back it up.... i find many of my own theories are just notions until i'm challenged to up my game and explain myself... best learning tool EVER lol... plus.. i'm very shocked that within this kind of company, my thoughts dont seem to be scoffed at..and i'm confidant neither will yours.

Also ... if you're no good to yourself alone, you cant be any good to a group ... thelemic or otherwise hugs

junebug-with the time that has passed since posting, I hope you have found some direction.
Do you own a copy of the Book Of The Law? -
scribd is a WICKED site for finding (a somewhat glitchy) computer version of books including if not ALL crowelys, then definately most of his. go and see if its there
of course nothing beats the feel of a good book in thier hands xxx

& no i haven't a copy of the book & really would enjoy one.to everyone else who wrote this post i can't thank you enough for your concern & input and i have been working towards "getting on my feet"
& to JPF
i was concerned i was not still welcome.. of course i know the cali living would be different terms then anything i'm used to anyways.. i was partially worried something had happened to you as i was foolish to not check my posts & activity on the forums & not just my messages...once again i can't thank you enough..

& on top of this i realize the faulty in a lot of my statements
but we've all been hopeless at some point...
i just didn't know what to do..
but maybe instead now i can post all my poetry...
for instanceas stated i'm working at doing better but.. circumstances only seem to further the ease of things for me. but here's some more sad sounding stuff.
my Heart is an Anchor
it sinks to find Stability in
the Deepest Unknown
The Dark is a home
for this Nothing Helpless Soul.
He just fills your needed roles.
left Bleeding through to try & rise
but the Sunshine's got a different eye to Behold.
So Leave me in the gentle Cold
Just Run from my evil & leave to my ashes,
it's all that remains from this used up.
Bloody Fuck
head struck
broken heart strings
Love FiendPlaying 2nd chair in the Symphony of your Soul
is rotting my heart into a hole.
All the hurt & anxiety i carry with me.
Guilt, joy, frustration, delusion, confusion they all call my name.
i play the Part to keep you sane but it's Leading me the other way.
i feel like a distraction...
Like i fill your time fine..
Something Special Comes my only Sushine's Way & i'm told i must stay away.that obvious heart ache with a girl was not helping my feelings at the time
but it's passed so i thought i could share & it'd help show you myself & where i'm at & i'm changing, growing, learning..93

Everyone has an answer, but what is the question?

feeble cry for support from a confused outstretched hand that shan't waste the time of these fine people again as this fella knows there's no reason to fret or wallow around for no good reason
i'll be making the move soon.

93,
"i'll be making the move soon."
If I thought all the false starts and apparently wasted time in my life were really false and wasted, I'd be looking at a half-truth. If I'd been wiser, I'd be further along. But the problem was, I had to learn practical wisdom - simple know-how about living, really - in order to get anywhere.
One of the hardest things for me, after decades of digging around various spiritualities as well as sticking to applied practices for extended periods, is to remember always that I can't possess understanding, any more than I can possess Wednesday morning, or the rain that fell yesterday. I can only open to it.
There are always threads on this forum about correctness: correct techniques, correct views of what Crowley taught, and so on. Monumental screw-ups, however are often where the deeper teaching is given and learned. And feeling lost isn't the bad thing, only failing to consider the total issue: what does it mean to be lost, what is actually achieved by feeling lost (such as holding yourself back for ages from facing ... X), and so on. What underlies the fear that holds you in lostness? That could be a riddle you'll spend decades resolving.
So if you perform your move and happen to make a miss, do observe the miss and the circumstances around it. Seeking power over self can be a trap (beyond the discipline of regular routine - what AC calls "some rule of life") while having access to understanding of self is an interesting threshold on which to stand.

It's been a long time since i posted this.
& I realize that over one thousand people have now viewed it.
I hope that anyone out there in fear of sounding like i did was able to at least read this & not need to say something because it helped.
& I realize how many of you truly care & it's inspiring & warming.
I've been making great strides & will continue to do so & will try my best to keep everyone updated with my goings ons as i think most of you would thoroughly enjoy what i'm doing musically & where its headed.
Hosho
sincerely,
