College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

I find myself reading it rather often. Sometimes chapters at a time, sometimes a few lines here or there. I've almost always got it open on my phone and internet browser, and actually just ordered a physical copy today.

Even If I don't read all of it, sometimes I'll find my eyes glance across it on my way to do something else and catch a little tidbit that unveils itself to be as it hadn't before.

While it may be only three chapters, one can read it a thousand times and read a thousand different things. Suddenly three chapters turns into three thousand. One need only know how to read it.

You know, I may be a little late on this, but technically the word "Christ" means "Anointed" - Have some Oil of the Abramelin? No? How about some Olive oil in your pantry? Stick some on your forehead!

Merry Christmas!

I understand that some may take my age in juxtaposition to my "claims". -I meant no deception by the such.

While yes, I still have a ways to go before I attain my PhD in Physics, I am doing all that I can, and I will attain it. The statement made that "I am pursuing my PhD in Physics to eventually focus in Quantum and Particle Physics" was simply a statement of Will. By saying that, and continuously affirming it, I am thereby making it happen. (Magick 101, yes?) I am doing the best I can to pursue my PhD; Currently being tutored privately by an uncle who was former dean of the college I attend, as well as having a PhD himself.

As far as magick and Mysticism goes, that I have been studying and practicing since I was 10 years old, with mentors/teachers. Do I know a thing or two about it? I'd like to think so. Do I have a LOT to learn? Of course I do; We all do.

But again, I apologize if I confused anyone, I meant no deception. If anyone has any more questions for me I'm more than happy to answer them to the best of my abilities.

To me personally, before actually witnessing my own HGA, had never placed any thought as to whether it was male/female - I suppose part of me instinctively thought it was male though. But it turns out it was the opposite. My HGA manifest unto me as female.

Now, I've got my own suspicions as to why. I've heard different things like the HGA is always changing, etc...

But I believe the HGA manifests itself in a way to teach you something or humble you in a certain way. From my own example, I had been having some very negative association with the female gender in general, and had In a sense viewed them as "Inferior" in a way to males (Which now I see is utterly absurd) so therein my HGA appeared to me as female.

The only comparison I can really make to back up my suspicion is Crowley's encounter with Aiwass where he mentions Aiwass as a dark skinned man- I recall reading about an underlying affinity in Crowley which caused him to look down upon people of color. Thus his own HGA appeared as a man of color.

Uhm, who? Please don't associate me with another person when you've got no logical ground on which to base your assumption.

As it should just so be, I believe it was an avocation of Genocide, a "Spiritual" genocide, if not only for the individual- To kill off the Ideals of False belief and ignorance of the Old aeon, and usher yourself into the new Aeon of Horus of Scientific and empirical proof, Thus we have "War and Vengeance" against the Old aeon.

Ultimately you can't have Peace without war of some sort; Whether that war is inside of you, or you bring it outside of you, ultimately separates the Kings from the Slaves. Think of it this way, every outward war or oppression begins with an insecurity or unhappiness from within. We must have the strength of will to wage war within ourselves, on ourselves, in order to get rid of these insecurities and control our emotions so that we do not project them on others that turns to physical violence. It's very Buddhist-Taoist kind of thinking. It also reflects Love under Will. Love is the law, which needs to be balanced with Will.

Of course to the blind eye this will look like a provocation of physical violence; But I think the way it is written is twofold in nature, to shock and scare people into further investigation on it, and to associate Crowley more-so as the first beast from revelations.

Most definitely there is potential for Magick in workouts. As it was said before about bodybuilding; I used to body build/weight lift every night at the same time late at night. In doing so I would be the only one in the gym, and my entire would out would be magickal. At some points I would focus my mind to a single point and clear it of all muddled thoughts, other times Pranayama (Or Qigong as I learned it) is practical to do. Controling your breathing while projecting energy on the exhale and lift; You will notice that projecting that energy will help you lift more.

Also as previously stated Invoking spirits is tremendously helpful. Personally I would put on some Amon Amarth and Invoke the Norse gods. Eventually me and my friend were dead lifting cars.

"I read a book on this subject years ago and I was wondering if you meditated on a goal and visualized it happening if you could influence it to happen. I mean sitting spine straight emptying the mind and then visualizing what you want to happen. I was wondering if this would work and if any of you practiced it. It seems to work for me because when I fish I visualize a large fish taking my bait and I have good luck fishing."

Well consider this, every goal that everyone has ever accomplished was first visualized

Hm, oh boy where to begin

To be honest, Quantum physics goes so deep you can get lost down the rabbit hole. I havn't read too much into the Quantum Consciousness as I have other things which I've been formulating theories on based on logic; But it seems that Quantum Consciousness holds grounds, especially that of the idea of superposition (Double slit experiment) and the fact that conscious/subconscious observation seems to directly influence the wave-function of wave-particle dualities to collapse.

I'm currently totally wrapped up in SuperString theory though.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law

Greeting everyone! As a long time lurker and big fan of these forums, I believed it was time that I finally! I am a devout Thelemite, a lover of all people and things, and a diligent practitioner of philosophy, science, mathematics and logic.

I had previously been living in Florida, but my path has taken me back up north. I currently live on Long Island, New york, and would love to get to know others in the area to learn with and share experiences.

I've been an avid practitioner of various mysticism, magick, martial arts and occult arts both eastern and western for the better part of a decade, I love to share what wisdom I can with others, as well as learn from them too.

Currently I am a student pursuing a PhD in Physics to eventually focus in Particle and Quantum Physics.

Looking forward to meeting everyone here, and hopefully like-minded local bodies as well!

Love is the law, love under will
