College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

I take it to mean the Liars are those who do not do their True Wills. There is a cloud over their hearts and vision. To see true, with purity, the Beauty is unmistakable. The success is to have this clarity.

Thanks all! You can't expect anyone to be perfect, but he's a tricky one sometimes. Thanks for clearing that up.

I somewhat understand the mobius flip-flop of Tzaddi and Heh, but the Book of Thoth brings up a question. I can understand the attributes to the switch, and have been dealing with them as such. Heh, The Star is path 15; Tzaddi, The Emperoror, is path 28.
But in The Book of Thoth, in The Emperor segment, he writes, "It is finally to be observed that the white light which descends upon him indicates the position of this card in the Tree of Life. His authority is derived from Chokmah, the createve Wisdom, the Word, and is exerted upon Tiphareth, the organized man."
I always assumed that this was a mistake, but it seems impossible to believe that A.C. would have forgotten this change. Am I missing something, or is this just an editing lapse. He has seemingly contradicted himself before, and then I realized I had overlooked something.
Curious, and would like to be less confused.

Haven't posted in a bit, but am continuing with the meditations. Comparing to other postings I just looked at, mine are long. Trying to get into the brief instinctive reaction. But this has taught me a lot, feeling personally intimate with them.

April 15
Magus and his tools are floating about, yellow, reflecting the Sun. But the tools are kept in check by the lines of force around him.
The white of Kether behind him points down his body to his feet and winged sandals. Hermes on a level. Octagram on coin shows this also. The wings almost look like musical notes. He's carried on sound?
Also Hermes as messenger, the arrow goes into the staff over his right hand, and the papyrus comes out at the left.
He reaches for his wand with right hand, letting spirit go with his left. Transmuted and passed through.
The sword, his intellect, points at the ape of Thoth. Keeps the Ape in check.

April 16
All those straight lines create a matrix. Almost no straight lines in The Fool. The dove on the staff behind him is pointing down the staff through him to the base.
There is a horizontal line across where his his toes touch the base, Malkuth? The blue and yellow rod pass through the Magus from above, down into Malkuth.
Another horizontal line above his knees. The monkey is entirely below this. Monkey phallus at line below. The wings of his sandals are below the line. I would like to say the card is divided into 4 worlds. The bottom, Assiah with Malkuth. Bottom of his legs and wings and monkey in Yetzirah. Monkey Nephesh of Yesod? Wings in the astral world. Above the mid line all the elements are at hand. His head is in a crown of sorts, and the white light envelops his upper body.

April 17
The serpents wrapped around the staff and his head seeming to be coming out of his head in his ecstasy.
In the yellow egg form, I try and go into the background, the white, but am held up. His yellow body is attractive. He is exactly where he wants to be. All the forces work with him.
Surrounded by his toys, hovering as he hovers, he only has one toe on the ground.He keeps a toe in. What he stands on, I used to think of as vertical, like a surfboard. Never got that. But now I see the blackness on the bottom as a cut out. To a road though.. Highway lines like in Lost Highway coming out of the distance, and he's riding it on one toe. It doesn't matter how fast he goes, everything remains in place around him.
He blows by the monkey hitchhiker.

Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be the Whole of the Law

93 everyone! I've only been involved with this TOT site for a short while, but really enjoy it. Interesting Qabalah, practical magick, and Thelemic philosophical discussions can't be had just anywhere.
Became interested in Crowley a long time ago. Within a couple of weeks when I was about 19 or 20, two different people gave me Magick in Theory and Practice. I don't know why exactly, but I think I probably had read a few wicca books. So I read it. Didn't understand most of it, another part I misunderstood, but there was enough else to intrigue me. I've been reading and studying his works since then.

I live in NY. Like it here, it's been my home in this life. There's always something great happening, but you may have to dig to find it these days. I participated with some Thelemic groups here and in CA. Very great experiences. Learned so much. Lot's of good times. But when I discovered TOT through some friends, I got re-energized enthusiastically. I went to a couple of Aiwass public study group meetings, and thought they were great. And they were into Art!
I've been re-emercing myself in Thelemic studies. Did the whole Holy Days Tarot meditations and readings, and am learning a lot about the Tarot through Liber Theta. Really like Pearls of Wisdom, and going through In the Continuum. I's so glad that those are available.
Just wanted to say Hi. 93

I'm starting Theta over again, as I got caught up in doing the Holy Days meditations. It was too much doing both. But after that, I feel better about this. Especially since RHK day is the first day. April 10, 11,and 13.

Day 1
Meditated on white infused yellow egg. Opened my eyes and was drawn into the background right away. The word "opened" struck me as I opened my eyes. Looking it up in the dictionary, "to move (as a door), from a closed position.To make available for entry. Removing (as a cover). To expose to view". This seems revealing. (I wonder about the opening of a door as to daleth?)
The swirlings are an opening. The 0/Nothing spiraling. The first manifestations of nothing. Active nothing. But the seeds are in the Air within the background of his non existence. The seed/sun at his crotch, exposed within his egg.
His green suit is like an armor. He is protected. Nothing can harm Nothing, not even the lion on his leg, or the crocodile below. He is the possibility of all around him. The elements get touched by his swirlings. His eyes in amazement, begin to see the possibilities of creation.

Day 2
He approaches Wisdom in wonder. Once he gets there, he's going to have to get to work, but his smile says he's ready. The 3 flowers between his legs are Kether and Chokmah, Binah yet to be formulated, not yet blumed. He has no earth/place, on which to walk yet. The lion warns him, when his feet land in Chokmah, some changes will have to be made.

Day 3
I am drawn to his face tonight. The card is full of action. A lot going on. Swirlings,wildlife, elements reacting,.. but where to go? But his face is stationary. His eyes stare right at me. His "Scintillating Consciosness, that can stand before the Cause of Causes, is staring dead on to the viewer. He matter of factly looks, and draws you in. You become the Cause of Causes. And he smiles, because he knows you are with him.

Empress III
Very fluid, calming, all encompassing. Her upper body is red. Blood filled, with spirals of energy. She looks patiently to her left, at a rising waxing moon. which is mixed in with wavy, water plants. 2 moons are balanced, orbs of energy surround them. Her lower body protected by a shield with white birds. Her crown is like two golden moons, with an orb nestled between at her crown chakra. Her left arm seems to support something, or waiting to. Her right holds tightly to a lotus. Her upper body surrounded by light. A pelican in a nest feeds it's young. She wants to give the lotus to what comes. A child? As the moons circle her, she is at home, holding everything secure in her fluid environment. The light could be the sun seen through the water. Nourishing the nourisher.

Behind in regular Theta's. Been working on Holy Day Med's.

Very welcoming, comfy card. The stars of Babylon manifest waves of light/energy throughout the card. Out of the darkness. Everything is transfixed with the stars' energies. Outer space, planetary, and personal. She pours the energies on and into herself, absorbing them. And then passes them on until they crystalize beneath her feet. Soaks the everything through herself, and exudes them in reality.

Day 2
(I had to do this individually, because I kept getting timed out. Wouldn't post).
Yellow inside egg shaped spirals, seem to have been permeated with sperm. A controlled chaos. Maybe. The Solar Disk at his groin is creative, like an egg yolk.
The Air swirlings seem to be led by Hadit, with a cadeusus about to circle his heart. He initiates the Air between Fire and Earth. The Air swirls seem to begin out of the Earth tetrahedron. He is a creative guy. Obliviously happy. His feet are still above the Water.

Day 3
The Fool has a look of surprise, or bewilderment. Red Lion doesn't seem to be eating him, just trying to get his feet back on the ground. Keeps him on the path. Maybe one of the three buds between his legs have been spent on the twins created below. I think he is as yet unaware of his earthly nature, as indicated by his horns and green outfit.

This is my first post on this forum. So be gentle with me. I am a virgin. I've been doing these meditations, and they are interesting. This one is the Fool, but I am working on The Magus now. The Fool is more descriptive than I like, not as much emotional. (Yetzirah vrs. Briah)? New ones will be different. But you have to start somewhere, and the Fool is the way to go.
...............................................................................................................................................................................

Day 1
Flying creatures spin loops around The Fool. Three times plus. They form an egg shape or a zero, that encases him, except for his hands and feet. His feet are not on the ground. A Hadit-likecreature leads the charge around him. It is about to circle his heart, followed by a butterfly, and a radiant dove. They pass a peacock along the way.
His left hand holds fire, his right holds a tetrahedron, Earth.
He wears green with a Solar Disk, where the crocs roam. He'll be ready to create, whenever he gets his feet on the ground. Beneath the Disk between his legs, are 3 flowers. One upright toward his crotch, bloomed. 2 pointing down, one bloomed and one not. Beneath this, on the lining of the egg are are two naked people, embraced. A crocodile is lurking beneath him. Money fills his egg, as does grapes, which I guess is to be made into wine. A big party.
He's all green inside his inner egg. Feet yellow, without. He is working some kind of magick, with Fire and Earth outside. He's in the Air. I guess he's above the Water, where the crocodile roams. So he's enveloping the elements. It feels like he's doing something creative, that's about to start up. Like Spring- the bloom between his legs about to open, and his greeness.

I just started Liber Theta with the Fool. Also did one Magus meditation, but I would like to post The Fool. Do I add it as a new post, or do I look for an older string of Fool posts to add it to? Sorry, not sure how this works yet.

Thanks. I'm going to start on the Fool now.

I just registered with TOT forum, and am interested in working with Liber Theta. I see I've caught the tail end of the Atu's, was wondering if you are planning on doing it again. I'll try and jump into the Universe, but was curious about starting at the beginning.

This is great! I've been working at commiting all these correspondences to memory. This is a big help. Frustrating at times, but helpful. Thanks.
