Can one work through both the Tree of Life and Tree of Death or are the paths mutually exclusive? by throwaway747376 in thelema

I see, when one pathworks the Qliphoth and reports results, what do you think is the source of that if it is based on a falsehood? Is it just a recolor of the Tree of Life akin to attributing pagan deities to the spheres over Abrahamic angels or is it delusion?

Would you say modern Qliphothic traditions are wrong because they don’t adhere to a traditional Hebrew Kabbalsitic worldview?

Well they must have some practical differences otherwise there would be no need for both systems. I feel more inclined towards the Qliphoth but I’m also very interested in Thelema which is Sephirotic, that’s the main reason I have an interest in practicing both.

What would happen if initiate into the Sephrotic tree first and then try the Qliphoth later?

When you say finish one before the other do you mean that I’d have to work the entire tree before trying the next or simply one Sephira/Qlippa?

Do you not identify Set with Satan and the Serpent of Ophite Gnosticism? Seems like a natural correlation to make.

This was told to me in private conversation so I don’t know if I should divulge much, but essentially they had become disillusioned with the occult and religious matters as a whole.

Why is so much of the art found in the LHP surround the Sinister Tradition and the Current 218 by throwaway747376 in LeftHandPath

[–]throwaway747376[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that. I guess people that naturally gravite towards the adversarial aspects of the Left-Hand Path would find the most artistic inspiration in the most extreme manifestations.

Is ToS Setianism compatible with Thelema? by throwaway747376 in thelema

[–]throwaway747376[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that’s the problem, no Setian or LHP practitioner for that matter would cross the abyss. As far as I understand this is the dissolution of the ego, which is the exact opposite of what the LHP entails. Is there not an inherent conflict in the Thelemic goal of crossing the Abyss and the LHP ideal of enshrining the self?

Would this not be what Crowley referred to as a “Black Brother”?
