College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

It is Open Source, and none of it is particularly specific to me.

There are adorations and annunciations to the Feminine and Daughter, but they are privileged. 😉

I must say this is one of the more interesting threads, very relevant nonrestrictive context and fundamental to any understanding of self-reflecting humanity. IMHO humanity is simply a by-product of "Consciousness" seeking to manifest on all planes; and we only find peace when we realize that the "Future" ultimately is as sure as the "Past" and that technological or some other form of "Singularity" is inevitable as the end point of human history as we know it; Throughout evolution "Consciousness" has striven to express itself more instantaneously and with less limitations on the physical plane, which invariably led to the development of first humanity, then the "silicon chip" ,then the "Internet" as a mirror of "collective consciousness", ever onwards in a systematic telescoping of the geometrical progression of anthropological and technological advancement. Infinity has been but a shadow amongst us! lurking then withdrawing!! The Infinite Will cannot but manifest!!! Its like dreaming, you lend different aspects of your psyche "independent consciousness" for the duration of the dream, they then appear autonomous, so "you" in the dream is incomplete in all its aspects relative to the Larger paradigm of waking reality, which is imminent. The more that reality filters into our dreams the closer we are to waking up! and the process of waking up itself is an infusion or acceleration of energy/information, which when sufficient to effect the dissolution of the different aspects, they will reformulate in the higher paradigm as a complete individual(if as yet insufficient the infusion of alien energy/information may create phenomenal effects). This is what I term "the supernova theory of awakening from slumber". In a sense you might conceive of "Human History" as the nightmare of "Gaia"{mother earth}, and Singularity the imminent concentration of energy required to instigate the "supernova effect". The question then for us is how to rationalize and deal with this. In the tradition of the Tao, to be conscious of, and go with the flow would be less disharmonious and painful than to consciously or unconsciously resist it, for whatever that's worth, though ultimately it may all still be vanity.

"As Below So Above"

"That which began with "Singularity" shall end with "Singularity"!"

I dunno dude, I read your post and then I read my signature and saw some sort of connection. I agree that our physical bodies and personalities are tools for the SELF to experience the joys and pains of the manifest world. I include the pains because they can potentially promote growth, which nurtures the SELF and ultimately brings upon new experiences. I feel that the SELF seeks to experience as much as it can for the sake of existing and experiencing. And while the physical and mental extentions of the SELF do get caught up in the "superficial trappings" of the mundane plane of existence, if you (and I, and anyone for that matter) can embrace the fact that you even exist in this vast universe, in the face of the inevitability of physical death, it becomes easier to accept the simplicity of BEING, in my humble opinion.

There is plenty of work to still be done. Lets face it, the COT work is not difficult, esp. if you have two years of college under your belt. What is difficult is the self discipline to get it finished. I don't want to say anything that perhaps I am not supposed to, so I will just say that the necessity for self discipline doesn't stop. From this point on, I suspect it will never stop.
