College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

Hey you guys gotta check out this season 2 of Strange Angel. Great portrayal of AC.

This Strange Angel show actually turned out to be pretty good. They show Crowley from behind in the finale, shooting heroin of course.

Aw, this show Strange Angel had to turn Thelema into a sex thing. I guess self-unrealization is too boring for TV.

"I have read somewhere, perhaps Visions and Voices by Jim (could be wrong), that Crowley's shew-stone was a topaz set inside a wooden cross."

Really? Wow, was it equilateral?

Hey, you guys see that new TV show Strange Angel? It's about Jack Parsons and Thelema. Of course, it's shit and has nothing to do with reality, but it was hilarious to see Crowley on CBS. Thelema is never born and never dies.

I'm a student of magick and Mooji too. There are some good threads in here about 'direct path' advaita/zen methods vs 'gradual path' magickal/mystical schools...

There's an interview of Adyashanti by Ken Wilber's Integral Naked on torrents that covers the pros and cons.

I don't think there is anything more special to KEK than there is BOB (Church of the SubGenius) or ERIS (Principia Discordia), other than the later had a much better sense of humor, insight, and lots more heart.

That's what I say when the subject is raised. Kek is not a racist thing, he's a trickster symbol, used by many types. I noticed Jung's description of Abraxas as 'lord of the frogs' the spirit of spunk, excreta, and sputum. Sounds good man.

Didn't A.C. say to balance every concept with it's opposite and to sometimes say exactly the opposite of what one means?

To me, it's been a slow dissolving of my personal will and excruciating loss of interest in the world as something much different is beginning to happen. It's an actual shift in identity. There seems to be a termination shock where there's nothing happening at all.

I like to think that TBOTL is addressed to die-hard seekers of truth and not the whole of humanity.

How does Nuit relate to adverse emotional reactions?

Ahab doesn't drown. We are told it of Pip so we know it of Ahab. Ahab is Ishmael. Maybe.

Oh, and Ahab in Hebrew means love and values 8.

Thank you, sir!

"the first two decanates (i.e., the first 20°) of one sign, of the element to which the card’s suit cor- responds, and the last decanate (or 10°) of the preceding sign, which is of a contrary element. By this bridging of two signs, the Court Cards are said to bind together the 12 parts of the zodiac."

Thanks guys, I looked through the book but I can't find it. My basic question is why is Fixed fire 20 Cancer-20 Leo instead of 0-30 Leo?

I tried searching and reading, but I can't figure out why the cards are off-set by ten degrees. I was born in the last decan of Cancer and my card is Fixed Fire?

This thread just MELTED MY MIND. Thank you.

I've noticed a lot of Pi and Phi in related word values in the 'pocalypse of Juan. Have you published any Greek gematria findings, Jim?

Most of the time I'm just forcing myself through it, though the occasional times when it does work make it well-worth the effort. Though it always works, in a way.

Nice avatar, Zalthos. I've been meaning to draw that in Illustrator. Meaning to!

This topic is relevant to my interests.

Me too, but I named them Eris and Isis. Weird.

What does the rainbow represent exactly, daria?
