College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

Thank you all for your answers, I attatched an image of the Tree that I use as refference.

The overlapping I asked about, for example: the relationship between the Chiah and Atziluth and why they are both ordered around Chokmah.

The same with Briah and Neschamah

I apologize if my question seemed vague, I dont really have an appropriate handle of the concepts of Jechidah, Chiah, Neschamah, ruach and Nephesch.
Ive explored the 4 Worlds according to what I understood from the video I mentioned by Lon DuQuette and was hoping to find a relationship between them and the 5 parts of the soul.

Ive unleashed the mighty Googles to help me out as well

Hello guys, Ive beenhaving trouble understanding and distinguishing some labels in the TOL.
I dont fully understand the differences/similarities and overlap between the qabalistic worlds: atziluth, briah, yetzirah, assiah and the jechidah, chiah, neschamah, ruach, nephesch.
I saw a couple of months ago a video on youtube by Lon DuQuette where he explained the qabalistic worlds as mental functions and the process of evolution/creation of a thought or idea. But I have wobbly understanding of the relationship and overlap with the other concepts.
If someone could be so kind as to take time and school me on the subject I would be very grateful.

I see, interesting.
You also touched something that also sparked my interest, that is the switch AC made between Tzaddi and Hé.

Could you give me a reference for this so I may look it up?

So I was studying my thoth tarot deck and checking the correspondences and it got me thinking.

The Fool = 0 but Aleph is the 1st letter, the Father, why doesnt it correspond with the Magus 1?

The 0 would be the Ain Soph, or one of the Ains, so whhy does it get a correspondence at all? If it is the entire material universe contained in the 0?

Interesting, thanks

Thanks alot for the help and references you guys, I will check them out.

I was also under the impression that mystery schools with the initiatic tradition, held mysteries that were only disclosed as you ascended through the grades, and Im guessing the mere experience of these rituals must have some impact and value, but if Im cut off from this, what then?

In the sexual transmutation part: Ive been listening to Lectures from the Gnostic tradition and they talk about Tantra, and use words like Azoth and Kundalini to describe sexual energy, and describe practices like mental Chastity, pranayama to develop it. Then I hear about the transmutation of this energy and I dont know what it means I suppose. Sorry for the vagueness.
(EDIT) I have been reading stuff online and listening to these lectures, some books (apparently real Tantra is hard to come by) and looking for references online to have a better understanding of what is meant by this term, the rising of kundalini, to compare it with experience but everything I find is obscure at best. Is there anywhere I could start that is reliable that you know of?

And So, I think I understand the first part: So "Group Mind" is Autonomous, with a composite consciousness, Im assuming the group's, and it is nourished by the group keeping it alive by being conscious of it, right?

But I didnt understand this:

"More broadly it can be a similar type of (let's call it) Informing Actuality"

What do you mean?

And, are you saying that an Egregore is this?

Hey everyone hows it going? So Im relatively new to this whole
system. I joined because I was unclear about a couple
of concepts and I thought this was a good place to ask and learn. I thought
I might as well ask a couple of them here, if someone is kind enough
to answer:

1. I am unclear about what sexual transmutation is exactly? I can only find vague refferences
   online, but Im not clear about what to do or what to expect.
2. Ive been including in my practice rituals like Liber Resh for example,
   but while I invoke or visualize the Godforms, what is the difference between
   these and Egregores?
3. Also, (last one) I dont have any local body of AA or OTO in my country, how
   can I advance or grow in the system without them?

Anyways its good to be here in the site, Ive had an amazing experience with Thelema so far and thank you for having me here!

F.K
