As you can see I am new to this forum so I hope to gain a better understanding of various branches of the Occult sciences that can't be taught by simply reading. Some form of human interaction will help tremendously on this journey. I was hoping to meet someone locally who is also interested in the same. Being that there is not a school or Temple nearby hopefully this forum will suffice. Due to my lack of will-power at this stage ( I feel as if I am in the midst of a battle between my concious mind and my instinctive body) I need direction and stability.

Intellectus, welcome to the forum.
I know of at least one other forum member who was from your general area for a time, but now is living further north.
How far is a drive to NYC? I seem to recall that, though hardly "around the corner," it was not nearly as long a drive as I used to think. I mention this because a College of Thelema study group is already going there, a Temple of Thelema local body is forming, etc. (When I read your last sentence, I also thought that the ritual and optional personal work of Aspirants to Light would be precisely suited to your needs - but the NYC gang has their hands full already and AFAIK isn't interested in getting an A.L. lodge open.)
In any case - welcome again, and feel free to jump in. Online communities of this sort have shown themselves to be very effective means for some kinds of personal growth, especially when they can be kept civil - and we're committed to keeping things that way around here.
