To preface, I know that James will not speak of other lineages or the O.T.O. and this thread is not meant to be a discussion of other bodies, but instead a cry for clarification of what the "truth" is. If Crowley appointed Germer as his successor, who did Germer truly appoint?
The more I read, the more I feel negative feelings of irritation, confusion, and other such base emotions. I imagine hiding in the nooks and crannies are all sorts of lineages that state they are "The One" and correct lineage to A.C. I read about The "Caliphate O.T.O." founded by Grady Louis McMurtry with assistance from other corrupt individuals is nothing less than a tale of egomaniacal subversion. Grady McMurtry failed to accept the Will of Aleister Crowley in his appointment of Karl Johannes Germer as His Successor as Outer Head of the O.T.O., and subsequently took it upon himself to contest the rights of the true Heir to the Crown in a secular court of law.
I read about Karl Germer introducing this Marcelo Motta to Grady McMurtry, Phyllis Seckler, Helen Parsons Smith, Jane Wolfe, Ray and Mildred Burlingame, Gabriel Montenegro Vargas, Jean and Ero Sivohnen, Louis Culling and I read references to him as Germer's "star pupil" n the A.·.A.·. And later alledgedly on his death bed appointing Motta as his successor.
Would Germer knowingly establish multiple lineages? Or is that as long as one was initiated by a legitimate member of the A.·.A.·. that they were free to create their own bodies?
How is one supposed to know the truth? Now that I've calmed down about it, I suppose that the truth isn't so much important as looking at the individual lineages, and meditating upon them until you feel right about it. Still though, the truth feels ellusive. In Motto's case, much like Frater Achad, there seems to be a gap in the time line wherein at one moment, they are in the Ordo GD and then next mention in the Third Order. It just doesn't settle well with my intuition.
I sincerely appreciate any clarification on these issues. Again though, I'm not trying to get into a discussion about other lineages or what not, just more so what the policy was/is on how lineages are/were legitimately established.

It is when learning (and unlearning) is building up to a crescendo, and then - just like watching a very supersaturated liquid that you've fed drop by careful drop in a petri dish and you give it the slightest knock, transforms in an instant in front of your eyes into crystals. That is a gestalt change of the whole, and the same thing can happen with your consciousness. It happens on the attainment to Tiphareth and also when crossing the abyss (although I describe that as a 'turning point')."
Yes, exactly what I meant above.
Tnx.

"Dar, have you completed the Aethyrs?"Nope. Not in this life, anyway.
"If so, how was ZAX?"
Unnecessary to invoke since it happened in the course of things anyway. I had 'Legion' chattering at me instead. Lies, flattery, manipulation, accusation. Constant talking, involution, swearing, repetition. Very testing and prolonged. Reading Crowley's account of Zax and Choronzon - same difference really.
They/It - left me with a last message to puzzle out and then left for good. That last message was of a very different character to the others. It was all about a stone that terrified them because they couldn't see it.
Why?"Can I ask your opinion on this, anybody....
If a person is in a place emotionaly, of hatred, rage, murder, no compassion, understanding, or truth, just ego victim head space.....
And they read Anton Laveys Satanic Bible, and Satanic Rituals....and in a way filtered that emotional energy and thought pattern upon a specific " subject" or being,
Do you think that would open a door to invite such things as Legion to manifest? Lies, accusations, ect.....
I am in a very tight spot right now, and I think it is because of others unwittingly inviting this trouble to take an opportunity.

A friend of mine recently became consumed by his hatred and rage.
In his ranting diatribes, foam pouring from his mouth it was easy to see him working dark magicks...
Transforming the world into a creation of Satan, filled with lies.
Legion were the forces rising up to stop him, to keep him from attaining his goal of happiness.In reality it was his own decisions or lack thereof putting him in the hole.

Then another, until realizing how far a hole he had dug ,

Not that he could do anything about them, until OTHERS stopped trying to stop him.-sigh-
When he gets like this, I take a step back, give him a few days to cool down.

To preface, I know that James will not speak of other lineages or the O.T.O. and this thread is not meant to be a discussion of other bodies, but instead a cry for clarification of what the "truth" is. If Crowley appointed Germer as his successor, who did Germer truly appoint?
The more I read, the more I feel negative feelings of irritation, confusion, and other such base emotions. I imagine hiding in the nooks and crannies are all sorts of lineages that state they are "The One" and correct lineage to A.C. I read about The "Caliphate O.T.O." founded by Grady Louis McMurtry with assistance from other corrupt individuals is nothing less than a tale of egomaniacal subversion. Grady McMurtry failed to accept the Will of Aleister Crowley in his appointment of Karl Johannes Germer as His Successor as Outer Head of the O.T.O., and subsequently took it upon himself to contest the rights of the true Heir to the Crown in a secular court of law.
I read about Karl Germer introducing this Marcelo Motta to Grady McMurtry, Phyllis Seckler, Helen Parsons Smith, Jane Wolfe, Ray and Mildred Burlingame, Gabriel Montenegro Vargas, Jean and Ero Sivohnen, Louis Culling and I read references to him as Germer's "star pupil" n the A.·.A.·. And later alledgedly on his death bed appointing Motta as his successor.
Would Germer knowingly establish multiple lineages? Or is that as long as one was initiated by a legitimate member of the A.·.A.·. that they were free to create their own bodies?
How is one supposed to know the truth? Now that I've calmed down about it, I suppose that the truth isn't so much important as looking at the individual lineages, and meditating upon them until you feel right about it. Still though, the truth feels ellusive. In Motto's case, much like Frater Achad, there seems to be a gap in the time line wherein at one moment, they are in the Ordo GD and then next mention in the Third Order. It just doesn't settle well with my intuition.
I sincerely appreciate any clarification on these issues. Again though, I'm not trying to get into a discussion about other lineages or what not, just more so what the policy was/is on how lineages are/were legitimately established.
Well I need to cut these puppets strings, that for sure.
I wish I could say....I told you so....( to this host). But that would be mean.
But, because of this person nepharious attitude, I now am entangled as well, and my kids. Which of course, makes me ask, what was my part in this, and in not preventing this to escilate to this point.
I guess there isnt much to do but shine, full force and hope it sheds light into all the little nooks and crannies.
Looks like I might be need a bottle of wine and my dancing shoes.

"Can I ask your opinion on this, anybody....If a person is in a place emotionaly, of hatred, rage, murder, no compassion, understanding, or truth, just ego victim head space.....
And they read Anton Laveys Satanic Bible, and Satanic Rituals....and in a way filtered that emotional energy and thought pattern upon a specific " subject" or being,
Do you think that would open a door to invite such things as Legion to manifest? Lies, accusations, ect.....
I am in a very tight spot right now, and I think it is because of others unwittingly inviting this trouble to take an opportunity."
Yes. Some people are puppets to these things, and they allow themselves to be used. The more blindly egotistical they are, and the more they play games of Pity and Blame, then the easier it is for Legion to manipulate them - pulling their strings from the shadows... to spread a little more dispersion about. It's a parasite - seeking vicarious experience through the living and always on the look out for a new host or colony.
But people don't need a bible (Lavey's or the Christian one) to let Legion in. And it's hosts usually cluster around those who are bright lights on the astral...
... for instance - there was a time when if I ever wanted a certain person to call me, all I'd have to do is the LBRP. They'd call a few minutes afterwards - like clockwork. That's a pretty good indication of a host."
