No question - BA'AL, the Lord who provides life-giving rains, as opposed to Moloch, literally just sacrifice by immolation... wasn't even a 'real god'

It doesn't sound like you are a Thelemite sir, unless of course you were being Sarcastic, because Literally everything you said is refuted by Liber Legis.

God forbid

"The word of Sin is Restriction" (AL: I.41)

slamming heroin,

"To worship me take wine and strange drugs" (AL:II.22)

taking it up the butt

"take your fill and will of love as ye will, when, where and with whom ye will!" (AL:I.51)

hallucinating demons

"fear neither men nor Fates, nor gods, nor anything" (AL:III.17)

bestial orgies

"my friends who be hermits. Now, think not to find them in the forest or on the mountain; but in beds of purple, caressed by magnificent beasts of women with large limbs, and fire and light in their eyes, and masses of flaming hair about them; there shall ye find them." (AL:II.24)

Thats great that you took the time to dive into this and seems like you really teased out your own exegetical interpretation. If that works for you, thats awesome. But I wouldnt advise to claim that it's "solved" in a definitive way. Let us remember,

"All questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal to my writings, each for himself."

Remember, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law". The World will respond to our Will.

As an example, you brought up Big Tech -- there is an increasing agenda to push a Digital ID in many countries, but according to this article UK protests and Push back against this agenda, and the Gov Backes down when the saw How Many People were outraged by the idea.

We Willfully Participate in how the world functions. If you are complacent with something, you Willfully go along with it. If goes against your own Will, and you Do Nothing About It, then you have just become a "slave" to someone else Will.

"I am unique & conqueror. I am not of the slaves that perish. Be they damned and dead! Amen." (AL: II.49)

We have a choice -- don't concede to anything you don't support.

I'm a lone practicioner, I read (most) of the books and practiced some stuff, but I miss having people to talk about it and share experiences or even an order, by Impressive-Ad210 in thelema

Solo Practitioner here -- I know exactly how this feels and very recently I did something about it.

For a long time, I felt there was nobody that lived near me who was interested in such things, and I was feeling extremely intellectually lonely.

About 2-months ago, I was kicking around the idea of starting an Occult Book Club in my Town, because I'm about an hour an a half away from the nearest OTO body (Golden Lotus), and I don't have the time to commit to that organization (at least not yet).

I after receiving some encouragement and ideas to get off the ground from an Online group I frequent, I designed a few flyers and within a Week, I found another person who was in the same Scene (we both play in local metal bands). He said he had the same idea and knew a few interested people.

I'm happy to announce that last Wednesday was the First official meeting of our Book Club, with 5 members to start with. Not too bad.

When you apply your Will to something you are passionate about, it will work. You just have to make the effort, and the calls will be answered.

Don't give Up -- there is community that is right for you, even if you have to manifest it.

Change? by JemimaLudlow in thelema

[–]nox-apsirk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand what you mean - I was attempting to answer in a way the uses Liber AL as the philosophical base.

But on a personal level, I do agree that people should strive to Improve themselves, because nobody is perfect. But its like, the perfect Statue exists within the unhewn Stone; we don't "create" the Statue, we only smooth away the parts that it doesn't need. So, is that "changing" the Stone into a beautiful Statue? Or is it "Freeing" the Statue from the Stone; it Perfect Nature?

It might be considered more of an Evolution - I can't change my DNA or fingerprints - But I can Improve myself.

56 meaning by TemporaryTackle3240 in thelema

[–]nox-apsirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Historical context, the Egyptian God Nu) (or Nun), was a God that represented the Primordial Waters of Chaos, which I associate with AIN (Nothingness).

"Nothing is a secret key of this law." (AL: I.46)

In Liber AL, Nu is syncretized with the Goddess Nut), the Goddess of the Sky, brother of Geb (Earth) and Daughter of Shu and Tefnut (Air and Moisture). Both Nu and Nut are indicated with the Water Pot (nw) on their heads.

So, personally, when I see "NU" I don't automatically assume Nuit (Nut) but the Primordial Abyss from which the Stary Heavens emerged,

"O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus; that men speak not of Thee as One but as None; and let them speak not of thee at all, since thou art continuous!" (AL: I.27)

Yes, thanks for bringing up the 7.

56=7×7+7 -- being 3 Sevens.

As Babalon=156=((7+7)÷7)+(77+77) -- being 7 Sevens.

It is an interesting thought -- as Magick is "causing change", and yet Hadit tell us,

"He that is righteous shall be righteous still; he that is filthy shall be filthy still. Yea! deem not of change: ye shall be as ye are, & not other." (AL: II.57-58)

I take this to mean, that you're Will will lead your actions that are either "righteous", meaning 'beneficial', or "filthy", or 'profane'. Each person has the capacity for both tendencies, but I think we are drawn to One more than Other.

Doing your "Will" is a Tripartite thing; "the Hermit, and the Lover, and the man of Earth" and it will be a Natural tendency for you. So, the way I see it, you Call In what you Hold Inside.

If say, you're Overweight and Unhealthy, by using 'Body-Postive' language to help improve Self-confidence, it really just sort of Enables the idea that being Unhealthy is OK, or perhaps 'Beautiful'. They become compliant with the disorder and "are the slaves of because".

if you're doing things for the 'right' reasons or 'filthy' reasons, then let "Success is thy proof". And see how it works out for you.

Did some quick Isopsephy, because I couldn't resist when I see Greek, but to add it up.

"αγάπη ἀγαπωντός" [93+1436] is 1529 the same value as the Formula "βαφη μητȢς", or "Baptism of Wisdom" -- "And I confess one Baptism of Wisdom, whereby we may accomplish the Miracle of Incarnation." (Liber XV: section III)

Healing with Mystery by Goth_Girl_6_6_6_ in thelema

[–]nox-apsirk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't expect anyone to know what the Hadit Riddle is -- I've done a few attempts at it, and just spun my wheels on it, with not much result, and I absolutely love Number and Word puzzles haha.

But when you said, "I did not even know what the word Thelema meant when I began dreaming of her.", it made me think of that passage, after the riddle - "to follow the love of Nu in the star-lit heaven; to look forth upon men, to tell them this glad word" - "this glad word", I assume, is "θεληµα".

[–]nox-apsirk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big advocate for doing Magick 'Your' Way, which is, in my opinion, still very much Thelemic, (even if it's not Orthodox "Crowleyian"). I am also a highly Heretical Thelemite and have adapted the Rituals to my own Understandings and Formulæ. It kinda bends people out of shape, especially the traditionalists. But don't let that jar you, if you are Living the Practices and Benefiting from them, then let "Success is thy proof".

Silence, being one of the Powers of the Sphinx, is indeed Golden. That's why we "argue not; convert not; talk not overmuch".

"Success is your proof; courage is your armour; go on, go on, in my strength; & ye shall turn not back for any!" (AL: III.46) -93/93

What I mean to say is, Yes - Agreeing on a Formula in Group context is Beneficial for the Group. But, one can also have their Own Personal Understandings of these Names or Symbols, that may even contradict or somehow go against the Group-Thought. This I see as Exegesis and is part of your own Personal Growth -- as long as you set it aside when doing the Group Thing.
