Center of Pestilence

[Shadow Self]

One thing I would like to point out, is the comment says "discuss the book of the law", implying not merely some comment on it, but a back and forth communication between two or more people, creating a community of people discussing the book of the law. As, a result, no one is being shunned by all, by virtue of the fact the members of this community are speaking to one another.

Indeed.

But not everything is useful.

Including the reality tunnel that views all reality tunnels as false?

In '98-ish, I wrote a research paper in a cultural anthropology course called Magic, Witchcraft, & Religion where I explored the Tunis Comment (how ironic is that?) and decided it just meant understanding The Book of The Law is a non-verbal, ineffable, intuitive, archetypal, meditative type of thing. You can try all you want to make sense of it with logic, reason and language (and probably even math), but, ultimately, it's comprehension is a "mystical" process.

"The most important takeaway point is that if you seriously find yourself hesitating to do what you authentically want to do because some book has some apparent ill-defined "rule" against it, then the message of the Book of the Law has not gotten through to you yet."

I'm inclined to agree with this, but I'm not certain it's the most important takeaway point.

to quote another holy book (Liber Principia Discordia )

"All reality tunnels are true in some sense, false in some sense, and mysterious after another sense all together"

That's obvious. [to some]

**pes·ti·lence **
noun
1.
a deadly or virulent epidemic disease.
2.
bubonic plague.
3.
something that is considered harmful, destructive, or evil.

From the viewpoint of the old Aeon, we are the disease, destroying it. We are viewed as "evil", "satanic". We become Hadit, a "center" of this change, this destructive power of the new Aeon. So, for those who get it, we should totally DISOBEY the comment. Be part of the epidemic!

Now you get me!
"You're saying 'centre of pestilence' like it were a bad thing."
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....

I rate the Tunis comment in exactly the same way that I see the reception mythos - there to weed out those who are unsuitable for magical study due to underdeveloped abilities at critical thinking.
