College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

Thank you! Definitely will ponder this aethyr some more.

My bad. And I will buy your book definitely 😄 I have found those in my Weiser V&the V as well. The AURUM is something I found in the back the Tree of Life in the back of V& the V, in the Weiser one at least on p. 253, on the top part of Tiphereth.

What do you know. i left Auckland in about 88, never returned. there is little doubt you know some of the members i did. They spent the mid 80s in Sydney, in Cavendish st, Newtown. With the Cauldran of Ciraween lady (haah).
You would also know about the book they wrote on LBR- the author is now a lawyer in Auckland.

"...Aiwass who spoke it in English for Crowley's ears"

Aiwass sang it (in the language of the birds), VVVVV recieved it, Perdeburo translated it, Crowley wrote it.

How sad, in this age of the unveiling of the company of heaven, that the stars have been rendered nearly all invisible by artificial lighting. I wonder how many people alive today have grown up without ever knowing how we are wrapped in a milky blanket of stars.

I'm told that in the Gobi desert you can still see the night sky."

Now sailing off the coast of Portugal for a month, can see the Milky Way at night... its awe inspiring.

Robert, thanks.

Lykathea, I was interested in Thelema for a while, but have now diminished that, though I know there's a reason for me studying it and that I should do it still. I have found my religious belief, which I will not put up here, in its all-embracingness it is much like Thelema, although my reason has put one above another. My reason being here, althoug I haven't been active for awhile, is that I feel I still have to be here.

We can argue alot about what is right and what is wrong, but I'm the type of guy who likes to be very open towards everything. I think people should do that more.

Thank you.

Lykathea ,

I think there is a personal equation at work for each of us, and it involves the collision of soul and life situation. The later includes all the forces of inherited culture and the so-called accidents of ones life, or Karma. The soul on the other hand brings its own tendencies with it.

A person who is predisposed to take his responsibilities lightly, for all or any of the above reasons, will not need Thelema or the injunction to "do what thou wilt" to help them abandon any and all traditional responsibilities. And despite all expectations of ones environment, it's possible for the tendencies of the incarnated soul, alone, to override any consideration. This person may then be viewed as a pariah in more traditional cultures, but that will change nothing—they will do what they will do.

For someone else, the equation will imply another course of action. I don't think there can be any thing right or wrong about any of the possible ways to negotiate these things. The world is changing, but it hasn't totally changed to something other just yet, so I am going to assume some people will be better off fulfilling their cultural responsibilities, and others not. There is no hard and fast rule.

I would say that you might choose to look up the golden ratio, and draw a pentagram, and play with the gematria of the divine names of the LBRP, and see what you find out.

Gotcha - that's what I thought. Thanks.

Thank you! 😄
