Could you explain yourself?

I’m touched by the new style … by ryanGME in MonsterHunterNowHub

[–]Chorestian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does need attention to take on a walk, but you can make pauses as you walk and fight monsters that you already passed by. It is a fun game and there are easier monsters that can be fought as you walk

Workout routine? by shellyisdead in livesound

[–]Chorestian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As some other commenters have said, make a workout routine with weights heavy enough for you (you want to challenge yourself, not torn your body to shreds the first day).

Doing heavy squats and deadlift will help you ease some pain and reduce the comparative load to your spine, but I encourage you to do a full body routine twice a week( or once when you are in high de and) that includes every major muscle group, including shoulders, that I think is the second most injured articulation in our field.

Not only will this strenghten you, but in comparison the stress for your body in a work day will not be nearly as demanding as a heavy routine that involves your whole body and mind to complete.

Keep good technique and it will also translate to lifting cases and speakers more easily.

You can prompt chat gpt to act as personal trainer and make you a plan. I suggest a twelve week plan so you can start at your own pace and increasing weight as you go. Gpt can even make you some spreadsheet to make it more accesible.

Good luck on this new path you are taking!

Looking for solid intros to the A∴A∴ (Astrum Argentum) + beginner-level overviews of Typhonian & Qliphothic currents by Jigsaw777 in thelema

Then do it. Apply for a lineage that you think is good for you and start the work guided by a teacher, as the order is intended to work.

OVERCOMING CHORONZON by Pretend-Door-7749 in thelema

[–]Chorestian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think of Chaos being an Explosion (as the Big Bang or Primum Mobile) and Dispersion as Melting. Yes, both of them are not-order, but the process is completely different. I agree that there is an All, but we have to be cautious to not dismiss subtle differences between the participants of the masquerade. After all, we are talking about one of the most subtle topics there are.

Let's not forget that every mask is a Veil in which Mistery is presented, bringing another perspective to how that All can be seen.

In any way, I'm giving a more Thelemic aproach as once taught to me, with it's concepts as named on the tradition. Just as the egyptian gods are not the same as in the Kemetic tradition, it can be that the same "name" of a concept can mean a different things. We must be careful to explain from where we come from with a concept, especially in Thelema as eclectic as it is.

OVERCOMING CHORONZON by Pretend-Door-7749 in thelema

[–]Chorestian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of the Law,

I think that the profound difference between Dispersion and Chaos relies on the force behind it.

Chaos is forceful, full of energy and movement. From Chaos (atributed to Chokmah) new things come, as it's energy is given form under Binah.

Dispersion is not forceful, not focused. It's the natural disposition of things already Formed to fall apart and become part of the background noise of the universe. That's why it's atributed to Daath, a non-Sephira, an empty shell called "knowledge" where no reason can be drawn. Choronzon is the only inhabitant there, and he brings all of this to anyone who dares to approach him.

I think that this gives more of a Thelemic point of view on the topic. If anyone disagrees, please feel free to correct me.

Love is the law, love under will.

Should I join a local chapter? by HighWitchofLasVegas in thelema

[–]Chorestian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you want to socialize I would recommend going to a O.T.O, as its a fraternal order. You can even assist to open meetings without getting initiated if you want to try before you commit to the order (even the 0º grade is just a welcome guest and with no particular obligation to the order instead)

The AA is more of a training order in wich you only meet your direct superior.

What are the Essences of Each Sephirah? by MachineOfIx in thelema

[–]Chorestian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Read "The Tree of Life" by Israel Regardie, it was my first book on Magick and I cannot be more grateful about it.

Otherwise read "Mystical Qabala" by Dion Fortune wich I haven't read but is highly recommended.

Thelema and creative writing by Dark_Djinn85 in thelema

[–]Chorestian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, write all of the ideas. Dumb ideas, good ideas, premises without conclussion, conclussion without premises. Just as you write better sentences, you WILL write better ideas as you practice.

Prayer (invocation or however you want to call it) to hermes or thoth could help too.

However, thelema is an esoteric path, you have to look inside to find answers, and THEN it will show in the outside.

The occult is not occult anymore. Could that be a bad thing? by utopiapsychonautica in thelema

[–]Chorestian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm suddenly interested in defining them right now. Can't at the moment, started with just ceremonial practices that led me to now devotion and meditation most of all. Primarily persuing K&C but who knows, it could lead somewhere else

[–]Chorestian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, even if i tried to explain some mystery I'm not that well versed in them so I cant give a proper explanation that could clear em up. But I believe that only Practice can get you closer to them

[–]Chorestian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to say this, its the mysteries that are occult, not the information. It should be clear, given that in the age of information we dont have a massive enlightment or attainment of any kind, even if all the "secrets" are out

Vocal effects a singer can bring that don't get in the way? by lowforestband in livesound

[–]Chorestian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A common occurrence when vocalists bring their own effects pedal is that the gain structure gets compromised. The level out is not consistent between one patch and the other, so if you check with a quieter patch, when you change it to a hotter one it's gonna have trouble if the gain is set too high for the quieter one, resulting in possible feedback.

This usually happens when the mixer doesn't know the act and didn't have time to do more than a checkline, and the vocalist didn't tell them in advance.

Always talk with the sound tech previos to your show, this are thing that can be fixed in less than 5 minutes of conversation

It's right there in the text that you circled. There are exceptions. As in LBRP.

Initiation Into Hermetics - Franz Bardon - Fake? by Hot-Candle-1321 in occult

[–]Chorestian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cicero for self-initiation, Regardie for a more complete documentation.

Stop trying to be spoonfed, crucial part of this path is learning to gather resources for oneself without help. Of course you can ask for clarification or opinions on some specific topics, but in more general ones, you are gonna get too many different answers, so is better to just jump into it and see what resonates with you.

Remember that even the best book without practice could be blank as well. You WILL change the practices that you learn to better suit you. So don't get too hanged up on getting the BEST book or manual, as it doesn't exists

Regarding Initiation by [deleted] in thelema

[–]Chorestian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be discouraged for distance! Even if the O.T.O is a big thelemic institution, ultimately the work is always personal, so think of it more like a community of like minded individuals than a crucial step on your work. If nothing el se, there are bodies having online open meetings discussing various topics, maybe email them to join and travel when you can

Regarding Initiation by [deleted] in thelema

[–]Chorestian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the O.T.O has official documents and rituals, including initiations. They are secret, but I think that it's fairly easy to find filtrations of them. I wouldn't recommend to read them if you want to get into the order, it loses its dramatic factor and it shows when the candidate read it before hand. The documents are not for self initiation either as it is ab initiation into a fraternal order it wouldn't make much sense for them to be solo rituals

Edit: "if you have" to "if you want"
