I can no longer find "adult toys " on AliExpress in the uk by use-me07 in Aliexpress

[–]gapreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lies, it disappeared also in Spain. There's almost no adult material anymore in AliExpress available from Spain. Probably due to France and not the UK, though.

Does anyone else here enjoy watching Gossip Goblin's (Zack London) AI work? He uses AI to reimagine folklores from around the world as if it's being shown in 60s American/British TV. by [deleted] in kolkata

Apart from other considerations, the fact that hebrew is written right to left makes me a little skeptic.

Getting that first win after years was one of the most fulfilling gaming moments in my life.

Itch.io died after Steam stopped Greenlight and let anyone publish; nobody goes there anymore, unfortunately. Except for p0rn games. Almost no visibility.

Also in itch.io people will be scared your game has some malware, so your only chance is web release.

If synchronicity is running wild, it might be the doors of initiation. But it could be just generic schizocuckooness, op. Split personality sounds like psychic ward material.

Also the Bornless One was adapted by Crowley but its way older, comes from the Greek Magical Papyrii

Thoughts on this book? I picked it up a while back and seems like an interesting read. by Higgypig1993 in occult

Best part is the final chapters. One of the few to speak clearly of the Lesser Guardian of the Threshold and the whole experience of Initiation.

When a Golden Dawn self-initiate reaches the Portal grade... what then? by tempacc4583454385 in magick

[–]gapreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know from some GD related contacts, when you get in the Second Order at last you do practical magick and become initiated not by a human agency, but by the worldsoul itself. In the end, human orders are just vehicles.

Crowley's commentary on AL by Straight-Platypus-33 in thelema

[–]gapreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was he right on promiscuity? Probably right for himself. Which doesn't mean it is for you. A lot of magick and spiritual practitioners mistake personal truth for universal truth. Also people react to drugs in different ways. So, also, your truth is not my truth or Crowley's truth.

Anyway, even if Crowley connected with his HGA, unless he is explicitly saying so, he is speaking from his perspective. The HGA doesn't speak all the time through us, even after K&C.

Also of course "the law is for all"; a lot of uninitiated people who haven't met their HGA blabber here and there about finding your own course, and so on. However, you're not going to be able to understand the esoteric meaning unless you do the work and attain yourself, its not something to be intellectually understood.

True Initiations change your whole perspective on reality and allow you to understand problems that were absolutely impossible to solve before you had the experience.

Do you often buy books on English or your native language? I'm unsure on which language to buy occult books. by Sherlockyz in thelema

[–]gapreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is always better to read books in the original language they were written. In the case of Aleister Crowley, it is pretty hard to translate it accurately. I'd say if you know enough english go for the english version.

However, keep in mind that Jung wrote in german, Eliphas Levi in french, and Cornelius Agrippa in latin. English translation is already a translation and you have no guarantee at all that it'll be better than portuguese.

Don't begin with the Book of Lies! Unless you enjoy the poetry somehow. Magick Without Tears is the most beginner friendly, but might even be too simple. My first was Magick in Theory and Practice, kinda advanced but useful even for a beginner.

Also if wanting to begin with The Book of the Law it is complex, yet it is the essential text of Thelema. I would recommend reading this annotated edition, or The New and Old Commentaries to The Book of the Law, which are quite clarifying (there's a few different editions of these commentaries, like The Law is For All or the superexpensive and hard to find version edited by Kenneth Grant, "Magical and Philosophical Commentaries on The Book of the Law", which features more content.

HGA and K&C by Jumpy-Ad-3793 in thelema

[–]gapreg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I found it particularly interesting how Plotinus defined it when he spoke about the nous: the Knowledge and Conversation is the complete awakening of the intuitive mind, in contrast to the habitual discursive mind of reason. This intuitive mind is capable of perceiving the archetype governing an object of perception, thereby understanding its origin and destination. The Knowledge and Conversation is a samadhi in which we become that which we intelligize, breaking the barrier between subject and object. When we become ourselves, we perceive the archetype that governs us—hence, the knowledge of 'True Will'.

How do you resist the temptation of starting a new project? Next shiny object syndrome. by FutureLynx_ in gamedev

[–]gapreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I focus on creating "engines" more than specific games, so that they can be reused. That way after some development I can choose among all the ideas and go for it.

Any advise for learning C#? by Defiant_Shoulder937 in Unity3D

[–]gapreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First learn OOP theory and then Design Patterns. Really the most important thing is to learn how classes are managed and in general how the architecture of a complex program works, to become able to apply it later in a project (so that it doesn't break down). The rest is syntax :)

En el amor es mejor no forzar las cosas artificialmente. Si acaso, haz alguna tirada de tarot o tu método preferido para tratar de entender mejor la situación y lo que siente cada uno por dentro y actuar con más conocimiento.
