College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

Haha, yeah it all made so much sense in that state of mind anyway. 😀

Haha, no worries mate.

"To me, The holographic Principle it is the most thelemic scientific principle I've ever come across."

Like most truly psi things this is hard to believe, but the amount of "convenient coincidence and synchronicity" in my life is amping up to the point of near astronomical improbability and growing by the day.

In keeping with the fact that nearly everything I even think too hard about I find more info on, a key source to, a person or object or writing about, within about 4-36 hours, tonight -- as part of about 9 other "synchronous information finds" -- I chanced on this really old book buried for many years at the back of a shelf where I had some writings from the early 2000's.

There were two poems in it. One actually goes well with both the hologram and 'star identity' stuff. I was cracking up finding it and thinking, "Well, if I post a poem, that will probably be the closest thing to matching the rest of the forum content you've posted so far." So, it may not be brilliant but I seemed to really mean it at the time, here you go. 🙂

The Deja Vu of Home

I am a child of chaos.
The tangled fractals clang
in my cells
and look for resolution.
My body breathes
the serenity
of identity
and soothes the inside-out
with its ignorant bliss.

I am colored outside the lines.
The casually messy beliefs chatter
in my psyche
and refuse to march in time.
My mind, it dreams
of consequence
and evidence
and structures life from the outside-in
with its prejudiced loves.

I am the One.
The soul's intent and body in tension
negotiate
so something will get done.
My destiny allows
the precision
of decision
and waits patiently for orders
which all of me agrees on.

I am the mother of my cosmos.
The stars blaze within me when
it is darkest
inside my big idea incarnate.
My creation allows
day or night
wrong or right
with classrooms of explanation
around every inner corner.

I am octaves of invisible color.
The glowing lines of spirit pulse
in my reality
and redeem messy chaos with light.
My soul longs for the
complete I AM
of the hologram
and impels me forward on shadowed paths
with the deja vu of home.

I AM.

Thank you for answering DavidH! a lot calmer 😄

Thanks a million Elkeid! Excellent clarification! 😄

I think I agree with you on all points. This influence was very well timed in combination with a lot of other things happening as well; you could say it's been like a "soular college camp" for me lately. 😃

Yes, thanks for the cofnirmation, Chris! Nice little site there too. 😄

Btw, maybe it clarifies something if I say that I both don't "believe in God" and do. God I see as nonexistent (dead as Nietzsche put it), but because of that nonexistence gives rise to existence. We come out of something holistic/synergistic that simultaneously is us, since it's all conti-Nuit-y so the original cause is all the causes.

Yes, I googled up exactly that right after I wrote that. 😃
But, really, the questions. This is just too high a level for me to grasp with my present knowledge. Any further help is really appreciated. 😕

"Yes, that's a valuable way to study them. Case gives such a format with Aleph set aside. From a Thelemic point of view, we can harvest the valuable pattern in Liber Tav and arrange this a bit differently. (I'll add it to this post as an edit - it will take some tricky formatting.)

Thanks a billionfold, Jim! I feel much better now. Phew!

To touch just a bit more on this: I've heard, and believe, that what we call Aeons in Thelema are the marked stages of human evolution. That is, briefly, that the prior Aeon, that of Osiris, was concerned primariliy with the evolution of human self-consciousness; and that now, in the Aeon of Horus, humanity is primarily concerned with the direct reception/perception of superconsciousness -- made possible by the fact that we've become awfully good at self-consciousness. Maybe even too good.

The folks who believe we're already in, or are concurrently within, the next Aeon of the Double-Wanded One obviously disagree with me.

I prefer the Castle Books version for Part III.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

What I notice from LBRP is a feeling of energy. Actually, as I do the Qabalistic Cross, I feel sensations of energy when I touch my head, abdomen and shoulders. The tingliness just seems to become enhanced throughout the ritual.

After the MPR, the tingling has become a full-bodied lightness and relaxation similar to after practicing Qigong. When I look in the mirror afterwards (all over the place, unfortunately), I can't help but notice how different my eyes look. To me, I feel relaxed, but to look at, they sort of get that peculiar "look" I've seen in so many other famous occultists' eyes. Sometimes I feel like I'm looking at someone else. Like this guy, for instance: images.google.com/images?q=manly+p.+hall&hl=en&btnG=Search+Image

Ah, thanks for clearing that up a bit. It was a little scary to believe his explanations. And I agree with your analyzis as well.

I wonder what it was exactly that would have made Crowley think Hitler was going against the Universe / God back in those early stages before the world found out about the death camps. If the German people were behind him and brought him to power, that doesn't sound too much like he was going against the whole Universe. (Once again, this wondering of mine is based on if the above quote is even true.) I wonder how he could've predicted Hitler would produce such horrors.

Yes, thank you very much for those tips!

Ah, thanks! I'll look into it.

93,

if you have a local occult or metaphysical bookstore, then i recommend starting with some simple books (there is a small series, one cover is blue, the other orange, i forget the 3rd cover color in the series) entitled something to the efffect of "everything you always wanted to know about astrology" everything from planetary meangings, zodiacal sign interpratations, apsects, constructing charts, and so on.

crowley's book (General Principles... Astrology) is excellent though his "theory of complexes" really IS tuff, i think... and, from what i have observed, most people don't even open the book -- just throw it up on the shelf like a hard-cover collectors book. NOT. an excellent text book, but i do agree it needs some preparation and a good intermediate knowledge of astrology before diving in.

last but not least, i might mention that i think "sidereal" method is the bomb -- but most of the books that you might do an amazon search for with that phrase are really technical/heady/math oriented and not explanatory for a beginner.

most metaphysical/occult bookstores have good "beginner" astrology classes...

and here's a good online resources for free chart construction:

www.astro.com

make sure to puruse all the available OPTIONS and i recommend clicking on:

free charts, then scroll down the list and click extended chart selection add a new person's data click here to show chart (natal or other wil appear)

i believe if you scout around on the site, you can click various options for interpretation sets which will help you learn the basics of interpretation, also, if you are working with your text books/study guides by your side

good luck!

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
