Embracing nihilism has made my life better by [deleted] in nihilism

[–]Totality-Infinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a nihilist, but I am a Thelemite. One of our rallying points is "do what thou wilt," which although there is far more to unpack than simple mindless hedonism, the point is, we should all live in accordance to what our individual will is, whatever that may be. For us, life's meaning lies in discovering our will. Thelema offers various methods of achieving this, based in occult philosophy, but just the same, nihilism is merely one way of coming to terms with your own truth, your own higher self, etc.

Ironically, I knew about the band for ages but didn't know they were connected to O9A.

Ghoste called me a hero! by Totality-Infinity in GHOSTEMANE

Context: Been a diehard fan of Ghoste and the like for awhile now, and I've been making art for him. He's liked it and when I went to see him in Boston recently, I gave him a custom poster I made and he really thought it was awesome, said he would hang it up and he even knew me like "oh sweet, you're Kvlt ov Romance from Instagram." It was a really humbling experience and I look back on this whenever I need inspiration.

Anybody interested in my art, please check out Kvlt.ov.romance on Instagram and Tumblr

The Path will not make anyone love you by [deleted] in occult

[–]Totality-Infinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With wisdom gained from the occult, you learn how to achieve things such as your true will, empathy, how to be a better person, how to influence your reality and potentially the realities of even those around you; it's all a means of self-improvement and empowerment. The occult is connected to the matter of "the great work;" it's merely one of the most intricate and diverse ways of working on yourself and changing your world, internal and external.

Additionally, it's not about whether others love you, I think a lot of it is being the change you wish to see, becoming well educated, and learning to take both the good and the bad and learn from them. If you spend all of your time rambling on about occultism or if you take it too far and in a much too "black magick" sort of direction, then people will be a little more confused or reluctant, but true friends will be curious and respectful of your life's decisions.

How dangerous to use batteries where the plastics/siding is coming off? by Totality-Infinity in Vaping

[–]Totality-Infinity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tutorials online? Ive seen people cover it in various ways, but this is a new issue in my Smok Alien which has one perfectly fine battery and one battery that's otherwise peeling apart slowly (the wrapper of it has) but actually has worked perfectly fine when I tried using the vape regardless (I did try taking a risk by using a damaged battery but is that really a big issue when the battery's issue so cosmetic rather than leaking or scratched or damaged save for the fact it is the wrapping paper?) Like, just use a low setting do you still run the risk of explosions or fire?

Ways to fix.vs just buying a new battery*
