"I know someone who thinks that Crowley taught that there is only one consciousness ... and so I am in effect speaking to myself right now and because of this we should all be nice to one another." I've been thinking about this, and isn't it in some sense true? In that every Star contains within itself every other Star, so you are a part of me, and then even the ethical implications of that are somewhat echoed by Crowley when he says: "Interference with the will of another is the great sin, for it predicates the existence of another. In this duality sorrow consists." - Old Comment I:41 Maybe not the part of being nice for its own sake, but atleast the monistic perspective and the principle of non-interference which stems from it.
"It is not true to say either that we are separate Stars, or One Star. Each Star is individual, yet each is bound to the others by Law. This Freedom under Law is one of the most difficult yet important doctrines of this Book. So too the ritual -- our lives -- must be unto Nuith; for She is the Ultimate to which we tend, the asymptote of our curve. Failure in this one-pointedness sets up the illusion of duality, which leads to excision and destruction." (New Comment on AL I.52)
Thx for all your videos . I love how they are short and tobtye point . 93s
Just Do it !! Nothing to it but to do it . First word of the Law ...DO !
Hell yeah, you brought a ton of passion and drive into this video. Loved the clarity and connection 93/93.
People just need to work through the COMPLETE A.'.A.'. system (and a few other things). See the book, "The Complete Aleister Crowley System of Magick".
Good one, bro.
Right. If it's actually "profit" you're seeking just stop now. The system has it's own process to raise one's Self to the forefront. It maybe that Profit is what your soul hungers for. If that's the case then far be it from any system to hold you back or assist you forward. Interesting video in any case!
"Sound knowledge is not given by reflection, nor by what the rational thinkers establish by means of their reflective powers. Sound knowledge is only that which God throws into the heart of the knower. It is a divine light for which God singles out any of His servants whom He will, whether angel, messenger, prophet, friend, or person of faith." Ibn 'Arabi
Nice.
Thank you for posting this. I've just been going through a relationship that had me explore attachment theory. And by saying this, the relationship was mostly unfulfilling, but had me finding out more fascets about myself aswell as my partner.
At the end you mention the mysteries of the Lance and the Grail , would love to know more about this. Thank you for making these educational videos ! 93
bek lover has a way more rational take on reality btw
was a deviated pervert who confused mental high as spiritualism.
I like the idea about not just analyzing symbols but looking at those symbols from Thelemic perspective, really well put. Pan was always fascinating to me, thank you for clarifying his symbolism from Thelemic perspective. 93!
Isnt pan dead?
What makes this different from any other religion? Im getting frustrated after years of searching and i see thelema and it looks like gnostic teaching mixed with a few other ideas .
I've done a few videos about what makes Thelema distinct as a spiritual path. You might want to start with this one: ua-cam.com/video/tVu_lIpAP-o/v-deo.html
@Entelecheia I'm just in my feelings right now I feel like burning the heavens and shaking the foundation of creation and screaming wth is the point and why was there no clear road map to this horrible existence?
God got my foreskin but the devil has my heart ❤
I’ve appreciated how taking steps into Thelema and working toward understanding my True Will have helped me contextualize my relationships and my daily activities. It’s been good to remember that while those are all important and supportive there is ultimately something else that is deep, intimate, and internal to me that I should also be driving to understand and connect with.
Thanks as always! Such a great foundational reminder.
An example of frustration I went through recently and could have used Meta-Okayness: Yesterday morning I was on a Latin TV show modeling swim wear. When it came my time in front of the cameras I stiffened up and got in my head over analyzing how to look. I could have been “okay” with this feeling of stage freight and separated myself from it. But unfortunately, I sunk into that feeling yesterday and dwelled upon on it.
Excellent video. Do you think the point is to get to the Cogito of Descarte? Simply all I know is I am, free of predicates? The bornless one?
No, maybe something more like the Witness from Buddhist tradition? Meta-okayness is not complete and total aloofness from life but rather the ability to hold all of our experiences in luminous, unbounded awareness.
The key for me has seemed to be that sense of a mystical marriage and the possibilities of deepening that relationship. And that is based on personal experience tho the intellect helps one to understand and identify it. If someone without any sense of that starts thinking along non-dual lines and views life like a game they may suppress their emotions it seems to me. Not that positives couldnt come from that sort of thought exercise. But for me I may get quite emotional initially while a deeper perspective is there as well (or settles in fairly quickly). I may still be emotional (Ive burst out laughing before too) but there is insight and meaning. There is a shift in how one experiences an event/situation. But it doesnt really come from an intellectual place for me. It just comes because thats the way in which Ive come to perceive life generally, based on my experiences and how I perceive them. You could program yourself to think that way but that Lover is only an idea until its experienced and felt. Only then would it strongly effect us.
This is something I experienced, just this week. Here in America we had our Presidential sElections, and a lot of people in my family, and people around, were profoundly Rocked by the Outcome. Even though the candidate I voted for didn't succeed, I already kinda saw it coming, or at least prepared myself for the situation. I could see that this was a disappointing experience for a lot of people, but my Emotions and my senses remained, almost entirely, unaffected. Fear is failure, and the forerunner of failure. -93/93
Fantastic video for today and this moment. More committed than ever to embracing how Thelema and Crowley help me chart a path that results in living my Will.
Here's my problem I feel like those feelings get suppressed and they end of blowing up at a later time.i need help dealing with suppressed anger and resentment.
In my experience it takes you out of your POV which is often overrun with emotions. With that different POV I am able to see everything clearer. I am able to ask questions like: what's the problem, what triggered the emotions, can I find a solution to the problem, does this situation really need these emotions or can I transmute them. And then I can go on to sort the problem or sometimes accept that there is nothing I can do right now. Jordan Peterson has a similar approach: treat yourself like someone you are responsible helping for.
You may want to start with meditations where you learn to identify (name) emotions as they arise in the body. With that foundation in place, you would then learn to track thoughts as they arise and to see the connections between those thoughts and the emotions as they arise. This will help expand your awareness of feelings and desires in real-time.
fantastic!! ❤

According to you what would be biggest difference in LBRP and Star Ruby ? I practice LBRP for 2 years now and have good results in cleaning my headspace and the place around me, what would be the difference of performing the Star Ruby?

The use of terminology associated with Satan may also act as a means of gate keeping to spook people who are not ready in their own minds and hearts to consider what Crowly was trying to teach.
Dont put anyone on a level that they cant live up to. He was just a man with flaws and he did his best with what he had and rest his soul wherever he may be.
Crowley didn’t exist in a vacuum the more you know the more you see who his influencers were . Great works though of the great work ; )
I still haven't explored and properly understood what Satan is in Thelema. I just like to point out that in Judaism, unlike Christianity, Satan is doing God's Work as he tests mankind, he is like a coach that makes someone more resilient and stronger. Therefore "Evil" in Judaism comes from God and it is "better" than good since evil is what makes humanity closer to God. I agree with this view.
I haven't read it in years but in Faust by Goethe Mephistopheles says something like "I am that force that, willing evil, does the good." God basically sends him down to test Faust. I also find it interesting how we have beings with names like "Samael"-(something akin to poison of God, if I recall). That "El" at the end is very helpful in those names and is something most Christians just don't grasp when reading the "old testament". That said I'm out of my league with that last comment.
I would also say that I think we are like Mephistopheles when we are highly unconscious and we are in that way blind instruments of Necessity. It reminds me of the destruction brought about by the actions of Achilles (yet notice how Gods were on his side including his mother). I think if we are instruments of Will we may as well be conscious instruments instead of being puppets. Perhaps then we manifest Will not just in a destructive way but in a constructive one as well
I love your content. You make Thelemic concepts much easier to understand. I often find that Thelemite content creators on YT, though really great and influential people, leave me wondering what the hell they were talking about at the end of the video. It's kinda like, "'Tree' means this tall, leafy boi right here. Birds and squirrels like to sit in them, and they're pretty. BUT... it's really up to individual interpretation. It could also be a symbol for your boob chakra." Like, why is many book if mean NOTHING??? You take a stand on things without being dogmatic. I learn a lot from your vids. Keep it coming. [jazz hands]
The word of sin is restriction
The devil=fun
Jesus hates fun. 😓
If I recall Jung talked in the Red Book about meeting an inner figure like this and I think it's basic point was "you are so serious and intellectual you suck all joy out of life" (not an actual quote). I also found it interesting that in the dialogue the devil figure seemed to be starting to understand him (his ego at least) as much as he was getting to know it.
Can you explain how Liber Samekh fits into what you just described? A.C. clearly wrote “Hail Satan”
Crowley challenges us to open our minds to understand things from alternative perspectives. The “Devil”, a personification of evil, can also be thought of as a teacher of wisdom. There are two ways to learn and the Devil represents the hard way.
You largely dance around the subject here. I'd like to see those quotes expanded and hear you talk about the rest of what he says.
I know, it's terrible when people don't arrive at the same conclusions we did. Must be something wrong!
Interesting,thank You for creating and sharing. Crowley has many faces and each of us probably chooses the one we need at that particular moment in our journey:)
Another two reasons Crowley used satanic imagery seems to be grabbing attention, and culling the weak from potential students.
Fun fact. If u have read the book of the law. And u still kept it physically. U didnt read it nor understand it. That book is supposed to be a one time read and then thrown away or burnt. If u dont understand why. Then u havent read it :)
“Nuit” - anything that can be imagined or experienced as phenomenology or a state of being or possibility.
Hmmm maybe. I might remove “experienced“, keeping imagined, and then add "Hadit" - that which can be *intellectualized* as the embodiment of subjective (AKA imagined) awareness (Nuit). “Ra-Hoor-Khuit“ - that which can be manifestly experienced by applying “solve et coagula“ to imagination and intellectualization But I am always happy to hear others out since I do not view any one of us as having “the right answer“ when it comes to this stuff. There is closer and farther away from “true“ but “certainty not faith“ exists within the blazing star of each individual‘s orbit rather than across the whole Current.
@@thishandleistacken where would phenomenology fall under according to the Hadit / nuit discussion ? Thank you
@@JordanFlesherOfficial I think it would largely fall under Nuit as you said (infinity as expansion, circle whose circumference is nowhere). Nuit is the realm of pure potentiality, the pre-given context for experience, much like the world that presents itself as a whole horizon of possible experiences. Hadit represents a quasi-objective subjective point of intentionality (by quasi-objective I mean “he“ is infinity as contraction... the point in the middle of Nuit, “she“ who is the circle whose circumference is everywhere. Putting a single point within such a circle is impossible (without Ra-Hoor-Khuit). Hadit is the centre from which consciousness engages with and actualizes specific phenomena, turning potential (subjective) into actual (objective) perception thus being held within the intellect. As I said though it is impossible without Ra-Hood-Khuit to then manifest the intellectualized potential of all given experiences into a well... experienced experience. Ra-Hoor-Khuit symbolizes the transformation of perception into action or “movement“. The circle is squared and then the centre can be found through triangulation (Mother, Father = Child, A-squared + B-squared = C-squared). With “them“ (traditionalists would say “he“ for Ra-Hoor-Khuit but I reject the idea of phallic superiority AC and his system advocate for and only use the Egyptian stuff as one of many coded languages this can be expressed with) The Adept does not merely imagine nor perceive but exerts force upon the world by drawing upon both thus embodying the Will in the process. This manifest, makes real (not just within but without). It grants the responsibility of power and with power comes change (magick = “"the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will.") I do not view the 3 as a hierarchy as Ra-Hoor-Khuit only serves The Great Work when it takes into account that which made it possible: the states of being before manifestation in which Will is drawn from The World of Forms into The Intellect and, through the same way we all got here, the two give birth to Reality when first perceived and then second given meaning. Sorry if this is a jumble. Putting these things into words aint always easy!
@@JordanFlesherOfficial not sure why but my response did not show.. if you found this on Reddit I will respond there
Feels like he just ripped off alchemy
I mean I do not like the man... but all alchemy is just ripping off alchemy... just like all science is ripping off science... including chemistry ripping off alchemy :P
Didn't expect to find my favorite Conan lore youtuber here. I wouldn't say he "ripped off", but he basically elaborated a worldview based on alchemy and the Golden Dawn's interpretation of Hermetic Kabbalah.
More like he wrote a continuation of alchemical tradition. Kinda like Jung, Evola and Gurdjeff did, but each one from different and often conflicting perspectives.
Excellent!
Very good! ❤
The thoth deck he made has a pray to the HGA to fully active the deck. I'm referring to a comment you made on tarot .
The bell curve of my journey started with me thinking it would be easy to be a Thelemite, then thinking it would be very difficult, and then --as a slightly more enlightened person than I was in the past-- realizing yeah it actually is easy. Difficulties along the path are only there because we have imposed them upon ourselves.
This video is just awesome!!! Have you seen the movie 🎥 THE NINES?? It really resonates with this. Any hoo. In late 2006, while on drugs, I started having supernatural experiences. I would have sex with invisible people. Then my imagination and fantasies turned into sex with supernatural beings. Oh say, like a vampire. But then these play dates went south. It turned into paranoia and fear. I've had many experiences. Supposedly impossible things have happened to me. I'm now interested in what you talk about. I would like to return to having imaginary drug sex with these divine beings. But it's not as important now. Since I'm projected on a type of movie screen or video game, I'm ALWAYS the Supreme self. ALWAYS. I still have fucking judgements concerning doing drugs and being sexual. Hopefully your videos and Crowley will help me. Huge gratitude 🙏 to you.
