College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

Thank you very much for the kind welcomes.

Weird Metronome is a personal favourite of mine. Its simplicity is what makes it nice.

I've taken interest in this subject for quite some time, and applied it to playing drums. Also, the concept of ki energy has always intrigued me, since I loved Dragon Ball Z as a kid, and Bruce Lee is one of my idols. One thing I used to practice was thrusting my hands in such a way that the "wind" generated could knock over objects. While it obviously doesn't defy the laws of physics or anything, I think it has some sort of relation to the elemental roles in martial arts.

Hello everyone. I am Naora, and I'm a drummer and songwriter who is in the process of forming a band with the mixed styles of hard rock, blues rock, folk, heavy metal, and some elements of other genres with three friends. I've been a musician since I was a toddler, and I've had dreams that I would someday be a famous, eccentric, and over-the-top showman drummer with a sort of "cat" or "tiger" stage persona. I feel that I'm gifted with incredible speed and a "feel" for the groove, and I'm able to come up with songs from seemingly out of thin-air.

Over the past few years I've been deeply immersed in the occult, which lead me to discover the works of Aleister Crowley. I feel that Thelema was the missing link in my life, since I've always in some way felt connected to my future--whether it be that I've dreamt about friends or other important people in my life before I even met them, or that I feel like all my life I've thought deeply ahead into my future so much that I'm seemingly able to control it.

Anyway, it's great that a place like this exists, and it'll make a fine addition to my daily routine between forums and sites like Drummerworld, Skyscraperpage (I'm a huge skyscraper and architecture enthusiast), gamefaqs, YouTube, and others. I make most of my song demos in FL Studio, and I use audacity and a plethora of microphones to record my drums and whatnot. I also love to occasionally play Minecraft, since it allows me to express my creativity, and I've been a LEGO builder since I was a toddler. I enjoy expressing my creativity, I like anime, I think cats are awesome, and for the most part I like to just have a good time, and strive to move forward with everything.

Right now I'm pushing to find a new job, since I work a part-time salesperson job at Sears and it only pays just a hair above minimum wage, and I don't make enough to live on my own. I'm 22 years old, and I feel it's time that I live on my own so that my life and decisions no longer have to be in control of my family. I love and respect the family members I live with, but I feel that they're too controlling, a bit superficial, and they're unwilling to talk to me unless they want something from me.

My family has always wished for me to become an engineer, and upon graduating from high-school I started going to a community college because it was all that I could afford. Despite the extraordinary effort I put into my work, I find much difficulty taking tests due to test anxiety and my brain "locking up" thus I often find myself having to re-take classes, and I'm seemingly getting nowhere. I think about playing drums almost all the time, and I feel that it's the only thing that I was ever good at, and the only thing that I really want to do. I follow politics every day, and had some political and economic classes on the side, which I performed well in. I've often thought of being a politician someday, or at least undertaking a global leadership or humanitarian role on the side. Whenever I feel that there are many problems that need to be fixed, I like to take it upon myself to solve them. I suppose one could say that I enjoy being constructive in every regard.

Anyway, I'm overly-descriptive, and I could ramble on for hours (much to the annoyance of others) but I think this will do for now. Peace out, everyone! ^_^
