ToT Youtube - medium
-
I came across this Youtube channel saying it was affiliated with Temple of Thelema. I messaged Jim on these forums to confirm that it was official. He stated that it was, and there's more content that the NY group has, but they haven't had time to post the rest.
There's one video up currently. It seems to be a very basic introduction to the A.'.A.'.. I'm making this thread because I'd like the members of these board's feedback on medium being used to communicate. For my observation, Jim is able to communicate things from this video that I was never able to get from his posts/writings. No offense meant at all, but I've always felt like his writing can give very textbook-like vibe. But, his speaking communicates more about the message (possibly emotional?) that seems to be lost on a written medium. Video seems to me to do this justice. Just like many things mentioned on here, Jim says that there's only so much he can tell from a forum post, but in person, would be much more effective (looked for some posts to back me up here, but I can find any off hand. I've seen in mentioned before especially in the posts that ask for advice on cleansing or help with ailments of any kind). While written medium seems to be very effective for making sure no amount of detail is left unturned, video/in person presence give emotion and feeling to the message that can't come across otherwise.
I would like to put this out there for discussion about the medium used to propagate the message of Thelema. Does anyone else pick up on much more from this video? Or is it just me?
Also, as an aside, I would like to request from Jim or any other members of Temple of Thelema for proper ritual performance in video. So often I see threads asking details about a ritual or pronunciations that would be answered in a well done and edited video. I think it would be highly effective and very well worth ToT's time/effort.
