Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Lets look at this in a rational manner. There are only 3 options in this situation. First, I am crazy. Second, I am lying, or third I am describing a genuine mystical state.
Rebuttal: I am to coherent to be confused about the difference between fantasy and reality. Therefore I am not insane.
That only leaves 2 options. I described a process in extreme detail. Therefore, if I made up my experience those who have experienced this reality will be able to instantly recognize It. However, if I am describing a valid mystical state those who also have experienced this state should be able to recognize what I am talking about.
I dont care what you decide. Just do it in a calm, rational manner;)
Love is the law, love under will.

What does that mean? Very odd thing to say.......
Love is the law, love under will."
Oh, sorry. I meant you've already been warned. Excuse my english, it's not my tongue. Also, I really am not trying to be rude or anything else for that matter. But what you're saying really doesn't make much sense. -

Yes. I was even going to commend on your description, but the post got lost. You're a sensitive guy, but don't get too sensitive. You may have even gotten into something, I have no clue. But it's really nothing, just go on with the work. It's a bit like when I was twenty and had my first very powerful experience, or let myself have it. I got completely wacko.You are not making sense.
All love

To be modest, you're describing me. And the funny part is that I'm not really like that, thinking anything about myself; it has more to do with my anxiousness. Whenever I get a glimpse of happiness, and this may often be better than any ecstasy of meditative states, that can feel more like drugs, then I don't have to think about myself anymore.

Thats the truth. I think the Ego is just a tool. I dont see any reason to worry about it. When I see the Abyss unfold in front of me I will worry about the Ego;)
And i wasnt "teaching you" anything;)
Love is the law, love under will.
-
The ego, just like anything else, has to be given its own due, not more or less.
You think that the ego is just a tool. How do you conclude that. That's not your own thought, and it really seems you do not grasp it.

I listen
Love is the law, love under will.
-
I'm sure you're listening, but I'm not the kind of guy who loves to argue, so I'll stop at this.
Also, I don't have any thoughts about the ego, because I hold no opinions about it. I can only make some derivations from what I've read, and a little bit from what I've experienced, nothing more, and that's not much.

Me too.
To be honest all this ruckus doesn't concern me. If I am doing something contrary to my True Will, the UNIVERSE will correct me. I know its hard to understand someone can REALLY believe this, but I do.

I understand why everyone is reacting the way they are.
The foundation of my understanding was laid during my 1st Initiation in 1993. My understanding and crystallization of this reality was developed in isolation surounded by extreme violence. So it doesn't surprise me that my understanding seems so alien. I come from a different world then most. That is just the reality of the situation.
Love is the law, love under will.

Before you Judge me realize I paid a terrible price for what I did.

We are the universe, and we are correcting you.
You're looking up to the skies for the universe to correct you, and don't notice your wife or your friend kicking at your toe.

I challenge you to think. I beg you to please go to my FaceBook page. Look at the photo folder intitled College. Look at what I accomplished since I committed my last Burglary.
I have been released from prison for a decade. I have no desire to committ any crime. Before my last incarceration my life was like this:
1985..13 years old......Alternate sentence for stealing: Sent to Koala Adolescent drug center, Indianapolis, Indiana.....6 months.
1986..14 years old...Alternite sentence for stealing. Sent to Grant Blackford Behavioral Center, Marion Indiana...6 months drug rehab.
1987..15 years old.....Mirage retreat Drug rehabilitation Center....Alternate sentencing for stealing....4.5 months
1988..16 years old....9 months....Indiana Boys school...Theft, Burglary.
1989..17 years old. Waiver of Juvinile rights...Tried as an Adult . Sentenced to Westville Correctional Center, Indiana .Escape with Bodily Injury. Sentence 6 years. complete 3 years with 1 year parole and be released on good behavior. 3.5 years served.

1995-2001..Sentence 16 years/do 8 for good behavior...6 years.2001-2011....FREE
Is this enough proof to convince you I am onto something?

This isnt grandstanding. I bared my Soul to all of you. You make your own decision about my charecter and honesty.

I see that, frater.
You seem to me to be someone who seeks warm fellowship and like minds and spirits after a long, isolated journey - desperate to connect and feed from others' ideas and experiences as well.
Group social norms can take time (and a few hard knocks) to discover. All relationships take time and experience to develop.

I'm going to recommend you read Esoteric Orders and Their Work by Dion Fortune. Not because there's any likelihood you don't feel you have enough information about Orders and Fraternities, but because Fortune writes a lot of valuable information about the nature of initiation and some of the ordeals that can be involved. It's a great piece written with a very forward and yet tolerant voice. Here I quote a section that I think you may find informative.
Before such a training can be undertaken, however, it is necessary that the lower consciousness and
character should receive a thorough purification and discipline, so that foundations are laid deep and
sure that will not shift or yield when the great superstructure of occult knowledge is raised upon them
through the functioning of the higher mind. Unless this be done, disaster is very likely to occur; in fact,
one might say that it is certain to occur. Many souls, of course, have received initiation in previous lives,
and therefore soon recapitulate and recall their old knowledge when they come in touch with the
Mysteries again, but even for these it is well to rub up their past memories and be sure that they have
brought them through into waking consciousness in their entirety before undertaking the perilous task of
occult development; but for the soul that is coming on to the Path for the first time, such a preliminary
training is absolutely essential.Now I know you are an initiate of the Holy Order of Ra Hoor Khuit, of which I have nothing to say good or bad, but this is still a five star read for any student of the Western Mystery Tradition and I hope you decide to buy a copy.
