All men and their Gods are fools.

Ive spent my life trying to put the metaphysical Sea in a cup. It was especially the task at hand over the past four years. Ive come up with some great observations and plotted out how I will control the World many times, each time broadening my scope to include more and more people under my umbrella of Wisdom. I feel that Ive done an adequate job, but one thing remains: Free Will, lack of resources, environmental challenges- there is no way to control reality, unfortunately, though many prophets and teachers and parents and governors try. I concluded awhile back that there is some kind of cosmic force that prevents us from a static condition, that even if we were able to come together and manage this, that with each new life comes a new flame of challenges that will disrupt what we hold True. I call this force God, or the Will of God- some have named it Chaos, or Lucifer, or Satan. Ive concluded that fire and mass are the keystones of existence, and that as the fire cools, the matter becomes something else and takes on its own course of motion- that is what we fundamentally are, though of course, we are so much more- for in our becoming, we take on the roles of our position and emotional reactions to what is happening. I feel like the occult world is a mess. Too many systems with their own interpretations and none of them pointing out the fundamental nature of Nature. Magick is not a religion- it is the Truth about freedom to act, and it holds all the fundamental elements loosely tied together by language and culture. One must tread carefully when learning from the outer faiths, and develop a discerning eye when it comes to translating and synthesizing these systems. Within these systems are unique views upon the experience of our position in reality, and these opinions seem to be endless. To make things more difficult, I believe that whomever is in power over us, from an invisible but tangible place, has a method of making our experiences more and more diverse, and we have access to apparatus that can manipulate one another on subconscious levels. Navigating these hidden powers is difficult to do and harder to instruct. Some people use implements, some use their body, others only use mental thought, and then of course there is the act of being assisted in these actions by the invisible creatures that give us access to these devices. Humanity is certainly a special case of being caught in between powers, and one another.

Tao is a present moment; it is THE moment- not anticipation or leading to the moment, but THE moment. It is a presence, it is understanding and clarity, it is the culmianation of preparedness and it is the absence of preparation- it is unity and oneness, and it is Good, for in this present moment is right. It is the highest form of Love, because you are One with All.

Here is a message from the God Mapa. The world is a garden and you are a caterpillar Feed and travel and turn yourself into something beautiful When the time comes transform into a colorful butterfly And be careful that a child doesn't grab you by your wings.

Maybe if the people killed in the Holocost were Thelemites instead of Jews they would have known the Law and fought back.

And, BTW- you are the ones defending Crowley, who says you have the right to kill to defend your rights from the Law that is Do What Thou Wilt!

I wouldn't call myself a right winger, or a left winger. Ive already made my point about what I personally believe elsewhere but, Chaos is a funny thing; it makes you appreciate all the beauty of life, even when it comes from something ugly.

Keep fighting the good fight, and the Gods of killing will keep providing for you with the wealth and the meat, and you will still participate and use what they provide, and murder will still occur, and your hands will still have blood on them because you didn't protest and you ate what they fed you.

Sometimes the cost of wealth is human life. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=IWit2L5w&id=34E09401AB2661DAC82569C48A2ED3B27E81CAB7&thid=OIP.IWit2L5wo-cSmvN_mUlIRwHaMs&mediaurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.learntarot.com%2fbigjpgs%2fmaj12.jpg&exph=600&expw=350&q=hanged+man+tarot+card&simid=607999448030184817&selectedIndex=0

BTW Germany is the 5th wealthiest nation in the world now, not bad for a country so small. Hitler got what he wanted, and so did Germany. Also, if it weren't for the war, America might not have recovered from its depression, and we probably wouldn't have all the advances in science and medicine that we now possess. Yes the way he went about things was heinous, but the world should be worshipping his anus.

There was no "proper initiation into that book" before the book. Anyway it works like this: There is no Law besides Do What Thou Wilt. All people follow this Law. That means "Do what you can get away with, and when its time to stand against you, we will, because we can, because the Law is Do What Thou Wilt." WE the people make the Law. So, do what you like! We'll let you know when we had enough. If no one contests, WIN!

Not to mention there isn't any advise (actually to the contrary) about contemplation and speculation to acquire Wisdom as if you are some sage.

60. There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt. and if that don't float your boat, she is unveiling herself to the company of men in a new Aeon (which starts at that time of unveiling) and so, from this point forth, the law SHALL be "Do What Thou Wilt"

I challenge anyone to tally up the innovations, inventions, and contributions of a non war faring people and compare them to the others. If you can say that these other cultures are better, then I suggest you go live in a jungle, or wherever they exist, because historically we could not have the one without the other. Also, Aryan is not Indo European mister "there is no race"

Read history and you find that this is how its always been, its not just Caucasians, though it would appear that throughout history Indo Europeans have led the charge in innovation and civilization.

Well as I pointed out already, the Book of the Law is pretty clear that the only Law is Do What Thou Wilt, and that there is no other Law, and this whole concept behind Crowley having conscience about the fact that oops, there might be some things we shouldn't do is a manufacturing of apologists. In either case, Crowley aside, it does have legitimacy in a lot of respects- unless you consider that there is some kind of governor- not Nuit and Hadit, but some other being at work.

Here is something we puzzled out over on Facebook. If the Law is Do What Thou Wilt, and that goes down to each individual, then the only Law is the individual Law, and so the only Truth is based on my interpretation of what is. If this is the case, and then I declare Good based upon my own value. As all things are only True to the individual, then nothing is True- except to me, and that is why Chaos magick has coined the phrase "Nothing is true, all is allowed". If nothing is true, then nothing is real or sacred, and nothing is permanent or for that matter, important. Therefore we can defile anything, or ruin anything- because nothing is real or True, it is ever what it will be and become, and so, there is no wrong, and no Law to stop anything.

There is no bottom to the Abyss, there is only escape from it. The bottom of the Abyss is the ceiling of the World.

I didn't get a passing grade on color theory, and I don't have the inclination to look into how the eye interprets color, and whether white is the absence of color or the entire color spectrum. From my simple perspective, it seems that black is the combination of color, and that white is what we get when color is extracted. Why is white so important in spirituality? Because it is the absence of color and is the color of purity- though it is easily argued that color itself is pure. I like to think that white is the purest form of color, which is colorless, meaning that all are One. Anyway, primary color, including white, is an ideal, and there are other forms of Magick than white, but the White Brotherhood seems to denote the idea that we are all One. The same can be said of black I suppose. I guess if push came to shove, White Brotherhood are the ascended Masters, having transfigured themselves beyond color. I think its terrible that you mock this group, being that many of you claim to study the Wisdom of them. If it is a racial thing, then I have no problem with that either, because the "White", Caucasian race- the Indo-European, has done great deeds in promoting the health and well being of this world, and this race should indeed be honored for what they have contributed. There is no shame in being of this race!

The Tarot is not just for daily living meditations, it is also tied to the ancient initiation rites of a sacred group of individuals that have influenced the future of mankind. The story of the Tarot tells the journey of said adept as they go through life and the trials of initiation. Should you want to partake in this it is easy enough to follow the Wisdom of the Tarot from the Fool and progress. I do not know if participation in the sacred group is accessed through devotional practice. I am certain that there is a place for academia. I can vouch for the Truth that there are other paths. I do not feel that "by the book" creates innovative concepts always, and it is documented that dramatic interpretations of life via tantric experience is a valid sacred method. I want to tell you, should your ambition be to interact with the sacred group, that this is nothing easy, and involves great pain. The Adept Exempt- which is the step one needs to take to ascend into the upper realms of this method, is an act of sacrifice- a very great sacrifice, and I cant speak upon who should be chosen to participate in this, for the Gods know how terrible it can be. It involves great strength and discipline, as well as a great fitness, for it is long in suffering. It is not just the Hanged Man, it is the Tower, and it is the Devil, and it is the Hermit. These things are difficult to endure, especially for those unprepared.

If you consider Do What Thou Wilt as legitimate, a saying from the God of the Universe- that the Law of Man is this, then you have to admit that it is not actually a Law, so much as a way things are; all people are meant to do what they will. When you think about choice, you realize that you do this anyway, but that in this choosing, we have restrictions. Now if you want to take on Crowley and interpret whether he is saying Do What Thou Wilt and that is it- and get rid of this idea that you eventually come to some kind of other Law, then lets look at his work. From the Book of the Law: 40. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Thelema means Will. 41. The word of Sin is Restriction. 42. Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will. 44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect. 30. If Will stops and cries Why, invoking Because, then Will stops & does nought. 31. If Power asks why, then is Power weakness. 32. Also reason is a lie; for there is a factor infinite & unknown; & all their words are skew-wise. 33. Enough of Because! Be he damned for a dog! 66. Write, & find ecstasy in writing! Work, & be our bed in working! Thrill with the joy of life & death! Ah! thy death shall be lovely: whososeeth it shall be glad. Thy death shall be the seal of the promise of our age long love. Come! lift up thine heart & rejoice! We are one; we are none. 17. Fear not at all; fear neither men nor Fates, nor gods, nor anything. Money fear not, nor laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power in heaven or upon the earth or under the earth. Nu is your refuge as Hadit your light; and I am the strength, force, vigour, of your arms. 18. Mercy let be off; damn them who pity! Kill and torture; spare not; be upon them! 25. This burn: of this make cakes & eat unto me. This hath also another use; let it be laid before me, and kept thick with perfumes of your orison: it shall become full of beetles as it were and creeping things sacred unto me. 26. These slay, naming your enemies; & they shall fall before you. 27. Also these shall breed lust & power of lust in you at the eating thereof. 28. Also ye shall be strong in war. 42. The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only the blind ones. Refuse none, but thou shalt know & destroy the traitors. I am Ra-Hoor-Khuit; and I am powerful to protect my servant. Success is thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not over much! Them that seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, them attack without pity or quarter; & destroy them utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn and strike! Be thou yet deadlier than he! Drag down their souls to awful torment: laugh at their fear: spit upon them! 49. I am in a secret fourfold word, the blasphemy against all gods of men. 50. Curse them! Curse them! Curse them! 51. With my Hawk's head I peck at the eyes of Jesus as he hangs upon the cross. 52. I flap my wings in the face of Mohammed & blind him. 53. With my claws I tear out the flesh of the Indian and the Buddhist, Mongol and Din. 54. Bahlasti! Ompehda! I spit on your crapulous creeds. 55. Let Mary inviolate be torn upon wheels: for her sake let all chaste women be utterly despised among you! 57. Despise also all cowards; professional soldiers who dare not fight, but play; all fools despise! 58. But the keen and the proud, the royal and the lofty; ye are brothers! 59. As brothers fight ye! 60. There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt. Read these experts and conclude for yourselves what he means. Think too about one of his central ceremonies which says "Deliver us from the Evil and the Good" The reason I decry that Do What Thou Wilt is a Law, aside from Crowley, though from the above you can see that it is one and the same, is that Law is based on protecting someone and applying governance over a person or people. This Law is for the singular person, and not a community. A community has Laws so that our efforts and our health are protected, and as you can see from this writing, that is not the goal- this is no communal theory, it is a theory of power for the mighty, whos Law is Do What Thou Wilt. It is an ancient Truth, however, prior to the Wisdom of the last 2500 years, which turned religion from the rule of merciless kings to a rule of all people, whos safety and harmony is the goal.

I actually disagree with you. The actual real nature of human beings Is hunger. Love is a learned response based on having that hunger provided for.

Greetings. I may be in the wrong place, but from the looks of the posts here, there is a lot of new ground for me to travel along thank you to the posters that placed their thoughts and experiences here for us. Other than names for the same experience on most levels, Im not certain what makes East differ from West, other than perhaps in the West witchcraft is more of an acceptable thing, whereas in the East, it would appear that occult workings are meant for tranquility, rather than personal desires. One thing I can say is that there is a Jewish House which is inbetween the two, IMO. I have been impacted by all three. I grew up influenced by the Christian (Catholic) Church, like a lot of people, but strayed around 12 years old- didn't get confirmed. I was a believer in the teachings, but disagreed that I had to be so orthodox. Around 21 years of age my "New Age-ish" uncle sent me a book on meditation, which I regrettably gave away. I regret it because I experienced alignment and awakening of my Chakras from one of their lessons, and Im curious now where this book was formed out of. All I recall was a simple lesson on how to meditate and what to do when you encounter the varied states of awareness. There was one word to chant as a mantra with different definitions and Im not sure if its Eastern but I know it is Egyptian and Jewish- Amen, variously pronounced to have different intentions attached for the working. I chose one of the pronunciations and went into my first meditative state and cleared my mind wide enough that all of my Chakras lit up and pulsed in sequence from below to above. After this, I no longer had a normal headache, though in the last 20 years have had much happening in my mind and body (more on that in a sec). So that was my initial contact with the East, though I did not know about it. I looked for what these words and all I could come up with at the time was that it was from some other planet (New Age material). This experience did not lead me to any of the religions. Though it did send me on a mystical adventure. My body was now sensitive to other energies, mostly from the presence of other people. I found a few interesting books on the subtle mind and thought enough about magick that I would say I had a magickal view, but it was very spiritual and always about Good Will. I was an artist, and I practiced a meditative form of abstract expressionism which is something like zen meditations and was contacted when I was 28 by a spirit that sent a symbol to me. This followed by a call to the Heavens in which a God spoke in a strange language. The voice of this God was beyond human, it is too bad that it was not speaking in English, for I did not know what occurred that day or since, only that I wound up initiating myself into Kabbalah-Qabbalah. When I entered the Abyss, I was tortured for months before asking why this was happening, and I was given the word of the Aeon according to Aliester Crowley. This led me to actually studying his Magick, and all the rest of the Western books I could find. I say that I was initiated into Jewish mysticism because when I entered the Abyss I was greeted by an angel of Chesed and sent to a being on a throne that told me its name or title. That is my short version of my history. A lot has happened to me since then but Ill save that for later.
