College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

Reminds me of the gist of what Molinos stated and what I saw at the mall today "You are here". As I took Robert's comments, you can read that on the sign but still be lost. Learn to be still and silent, work on knowing.

Thank you for your commentary on this work and the virtual footholds you've so labouriously left for us. I can't put into words the timing and the impact this has had on me. It is intoxicating reading, especially while travelling 560 mph and 31,000 ft in the air.

Trippy

Thanks for posting that. I was always wondering....

Froclown- I realize what you are saying. I think the slave reference threw me, but I see your POV in a different light. In the sense where evolution is concerned, it is not willed, but the spots can change over vast amounts of time.

I appreciate your persistance.

In very broad strokes....I see it as the more you are in line with your will the closer you are to the center and your pendulum steadies and hums, your star burns bright as veils are lifted. For whatever reason, should a disruption in will occur the more the pendulum swings, the more the veils appear, the more chaotic energy is released, bumping other pendulums, stars, people, etc, whatever. A MAJOR misuse of prana from an individual or a group of individuals directed willfully at another star has an impact, unless you know aikido In effect, metaphorically the laws of physics come into play until the matter is resolved....in years, lifetimes, etc. In my view, it very well may be worked out in cultures where the energy is equilibrated, depending on the prana involved and it's course, it may be embedded in DNA, but the universe is impacted...the prana came from somewhere.

The point you make about the slaves learning or accepting the conditions is only one half of the pendulum swing and to expect it to resolve on another plane, well, I don't see it. Love under will, is a huge freakin' responsibility, mess with it and expect a dire judgement.

"How do you propose that we undo every time when anyone in the past happened to break the law and used something in a way inconsistent to it's nature.

We can't change the past, we can only like as we are in our incarnation which is the vector sum of history, the right and the wrong acts of history create the Karma which defines one's Dharma in the present."

You are right on in my sight...we can't undo. However, I think we keep the specific group of slaves you mention out of the context of the possibility that they suffered indignantly because they didn't have their ownThelema together.

Again, Froclown. Thanks for your words.

"

As for the american slave issue, the problem was that the slave owners did not use the slave according to it's nature. They pushed the slaves to do too much work, the punished them too harshly, did not provide adequately for them, treated them poorly as less than animals. The rebellion against masters who acted in such degraded ways, was perfectly part of the natural WILL of the slave.

The Slave than serve are doing there WILL exactly as the Kings."

Except for these particular Kings were taken against their will or will that be rebuked because they didn't know their true will and how do I know it wasn't their will to be taken?

a baby boy is born, sits in the dirt, and dies an old man. That's the end of the mystery. We can close shop and all go home.
...meanwhile I am going to go eat some cheese, dream of paris, and lie down on my leopard skin blankie.

I am glad we can have different opinions, even if mine is a lie.

That "one thing" that you mention, isn't one thing.

Teaching mankind the next step in this Aeon, may be a single, well stated idea with the force of the universe behind it, but is not one thing. A heart is useless in an emesis basin.

Art is deeper than terrior, as wine is. Ask the dude who turns the bottle a quarter turn, ad infinitum.

Eating cheese in Paris is much different than eating cheese in Akron. One may be preferred by another.

I don't mean to throw these out like this, but it's just how I see it. You may be completely right.

Froclown stated-"So ideally, you would keep everyone race and culture together in small groups, you would retain the artistry and differences in the races. each would take pride in his art and craft, as on expression of and positive contribution to his people."

In my opinion, that would be the recipe for the death of art and the turn to revolt. The true artist would follow something that could not be confined and see that expression manifest in love or war. You are forgeting the Will of the individual. Not everyone needs to discover it through a system. What you describe is like prison, but worse.

I do enjoy your thoughts and appreciate the time and detail you put into it. Thanks

Hi Mahanta-check out the thread "Your HGA's name". I read through it last night.

Av said "I think a good test of discernment, in students of magick, is their reaction to Crowley's racism."

Good point,Av. My take is as good as a pomegranate is, there are bits to be thrown out. It has taken me a number of years to get past that and arrive at a different perspective while remaining true to my own view on the matter. There is some common sense to be leveraged here.

Binding-I'd pay more for that! My MTP and my 5" thick Golden Dawn deluxe edition are not holding up and I'm still a muggle. I'm one bad conjuration away from a piles of papers.

AV-I didn't believe of word it of anyhow Your insight continues to capture my attention. Thanks.

My uninformed biased opinion and I'll state the obvious-you can't judge the book by the cover, BUT it does draw you in. However-The title and the subject matter in this particular case says it all.

I really like the cover, the graphic grabs you and I'd pick it out of a pile of books and recognize it as consistant with the other work I have of yours. I really like the style of the fonts, etc in 776 1/2.

Av-your post un-befuddled me-thanks, 93!

...are you sure nothing happened?

and for me, at this stage, it simple does not matter. If it is different for you, I am good with that. It doesn't worry me to know I might be wrong. I'll know when I know.
