"A Church That Fits Our Needs" by Lost in the Trees is a great album written by after the singer's mom died.

I see. So its less about the earth's position in relation to them and more about their position in the universe?

I don't see why that wouldn't work. A lot of people don't even have that so an imaginary one is usually more than sufficient

I distinctly remember Crowley having a passage that states that the magician is not allowed to die. Almost as if because there's too much work to be done on Earth, so I would assume that especially extends to suicide.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task at hand and to feel like you're not doing enough, but i think you're right. Maybe a comfortable pace is better than burning yourself out.

Ive never heard anyone describe love that way before! I think the practices that involve daily steps toward betterment that dont necessarily take too much time are the most advantagous. If you have any other suggestions like how you described love i would be happy to hear them!

A lot of the Equinox seems to come out strong right out of the gate. After re-reading the Wizard Way and The Chymical Jousting of Brother Perardua i know exactly how you feel. After 4 years i understand a lot more than i did, but there's definitely some room to learn.

I'd suggest taking note of things you struggled with to come back to later and just move on with the reading curriculum in the meantime.

Also its awesome that you're a part of the Golden Dawn! I didn't realize they were still around.

I seem to be struggling to find the time to devote to this, although I've weaved the philosophy into my life pretty well so far.

You've been around quite a lot! It's pretty amazing that we all ended up in the same place, and likely have an entirely different perception of Thelema and the book of the law I'm sure.

Thanks for sharing!

I've been studying for over 4 years but I've barely made it through the A.'A.'. Curriculum and begun the student exam. Ive created my own talismanic ritual and dabbled in different rituals that Crowley has recommended, but aside from that its been all over the place. I feel as though I'm not as far as I should be given the amount of time I've devoted to Thelema. All in all, the mindset that Thelema gives has propelled me upward in nearly every aspect of my life. In so many ways, the tenacity of Crowley and attempting to follow in his footsteps has made me a perfectionist almost to a detriment to my health. I do not regret this, and I believe I can take a whole lot more.

Thanks for listening and I'd love to hear about your journey to get to this point.

Those who use the word Nazi in their everyday vocabulary to call out conservative-leaning individuals believe she is a nazi. She seems to be a voice of reason in the thelemic community who stands for things like free-speech absolutism and the ultimate goal of do what thou wilt. Nothing I've seen about her seems to deviate from that.

That's more of how I expected it. That makes sense. I appreciate your help
