I have to disagree with your example, Uni_Verse.

I agree.

I was attempting to convey something, not directly state it."

I understand Uni_Verse's example, if you don't mind me elaborating on what I concluded with:

The first one had an intention of how the conversation was going to end up with creates lust of result. The second one didn't have a desire of an outcome, lust of result,

To me, I find that lust of result is more of an expected outcome of a situation, instead of having trust that the universe will play out and unfold the next step towards what you want.

By declaring that you want to have sex with the woman (I'm just going off of the example, not stating that wanting sex is impure) you have created lust of result because you are concocting the where part of the conversation. Whereas if you followed the second example, and decided a vague request but are not being anxious over the how-factor, you will have an easier time.

I hope my idea was easy to follow

An interesting topic. I'm just beginning, though I have started reading the BOTL, I haven't scratched the surface. I really want to delve into this vast pool of knowledge, yet I feel lost where to start.
I can't call myself a true "Thelemite" (or at least comfortable with sharing it) since I don't have an idea where to go from there. I guess this would be the correct post to ask this from.
Does anyone know any websites that can guide through what books to study during each degree and how you can start advancing towards other degrees? When would it be the right time for Knowledge and Conversation with my HGA?

Good for you Sara! I'm also new to Thelema and I have found this to be beautiful knowledge amongst all of the religions and studies I've looked into in the past.

I was wondering, how did you transition from being a part of the rat race of the corporate world into a career that you truly want? And I'm curious how you stumbled upon Thelema?

Thank you for the time put into this! Very helpful

Bear is a majestic name, I would love to have it

Hello to all!
I go by Iris as a pseudonym, however I relate to this name because it means rainbow, which is what brings me the most joy.
I've decided to follow this path because the works of Thelema have made sense to me and this is a journey my life is guiding me towards. I have yet to go into great depths of the studies, but I'm here to say hello to all and to start friendships with those beginning their journey as well (I'm not friends with anyone around me that I know of who are following Thelema so this seems like a good place to start)
