no. "True Initiate" as opposed to the 'false initiate' (don't break it up inbetween).
I have seen things...
I think I know the difference. But it aint for me to say outloud beyond a certain point.

Divide it as you will or as you wont. I didn't mean any different.
Yes "true initiate" as opposed to "false initiate" is what I thought you meant - but you have still not addressed the full meaning of my post

"The question is, how do you raise consciousness to correct any imbalances - or, do you feel you should not?"
Not only should I not but it cannot be done... consciousness cannot be raised in another -- it must be done from within according to the individual effort.
Those who pretend to be able to raise the consciousness of another are kidding themselves.
The true Initiate only raises his own consciousness and if others in his sphere of influence are the beneficiaries by virtue of resonant affinity so be it.

Thought, think, thunk, thou, thick, thuk. Is there not more than your rational self?

So the answer to my question, as you see it, is to raise your own consciousness and thus influence who are within your sphere of influence? Good answer. Now what?

what is this 'we' all want business, seems like a lower state of consciousness to me.

"Sounds like you fear union of any sort. By "we" I meant the simple "we" that several of us unrelated posters in this thread have agreed that there is a certain kind of consciousness about "the other" that we (again, a simple reference to I think three of us are represented) all agreed (including you) was a decent way to believe.

"And now that I consider it a moment longer, I'd rather say "I" is the lowest state of consciousness.

This just might make you think (think, thunk, thuuu) about your "herd mentality" theories

Yeah...that....

you see... by castrating the Hadit we are actually HONORING the hadit by recognizing his very existence in the first place with the very act of castration...

get it? -

Castration? Is that your understanding of the Union? I feel sorry for your female partners. If you do indeed feel castrated, I guess I should feel bad in telling you - size does really matter.
Oh here's something for you and your "friends"

No.
Once again, that is NOT what I said.
So much Deception... So much Time....

Now you are playing the same game you (and your friends) have always in the end turned to playing on this forum, and in the parlance of Twitter - you have become unfollowed.
Good night, and good luck.

and you and your 'friends'[to sink to your level] have decidedly driven this thread off topic from poverty is a state of consciousness into an us vs you debate/ hadit vs nuit debate once again.

Daath is Daath and Malkuth is Malkuth.
un-Follow that if it suits you.
For those who have not sufficiently explored either it could be quite the quandary
Denial leads to problems. Deep denial leads to big problems.

** an us vs you debate/ hadit vs nuit debate once again**
an astute observation.
What was that?!
It sounded like Crowley turning in his grave...
but it is late and I am tired too...maybe we'll pick it up in the morning....

"So, in waiting to see if there's any reply, back to the original thread...
Poverty is a state of consciousness. So is sickness, mastery, depression, and anything else you want to label. The question is, how do you raise consciousness to correct any imbalances - or, do you feel you should not?"
I think this seems to be the point before the thread was derailed; and a very good question at that , another being where does poverty or contrarily material wealth fall on the tree of life??
