Thank you for what i’d consider the most insightful post i’ve ever seen on the subject, and its deeper structure. Much of this is synchronistic with Aristotle’s ideas on Hedonia and Eudaemoni, and so it was fantastic to watch for me. Best, Sean.
As I have continued my reading and looking for additional materials to contextualize Crowley and Thelema for myself, your videos have been so helpful, and I’m especially glad to be going back to some of the older and longer form content, both here and on Horizon’s channel. This one has been especially helpful and information dense while being easy to follow and understand, and I’m looking forward to sitting with these concepts for a bit, as well as diving deeper through your blog posts and Jon Vervaeke. Thank you for sharing this and the additional resource call outs.
Great video. As someone new to Thelema it can be topsy-turvy to try to find a solid structure to start with. So thank you. This video is a wonderful tool.
The more I study Thelema, the more i believe that Crowley was hitting on a psychological nail. Accepting loving Nuit could be seen as a way of dealing with the stress, worry, anxiety, depression in life by adopting a new view. One that fortifies the wall rather than haphazardly building it with potential cracks and leaks. You just have to about it with a healthy sense.
This was a wonderful presentation. I am just a little wary of putting RHK in Kether. Even if you do say that there is much more to say, and insist on the fact that the graphic is a simplification, in this day and age most people will just make the equivalence as absolute. What about RHK in Tiphereth then, etc?
I don't really see what the problem is. There's plenty of textual evidence he associated RHK with Kether. It's probably more accurate to say RHK (or the spiritual phenomena associated therewith) are associated with the middle pillar in general. Is that what you're getting at?
Really interesting and insightful video. I've learnt alot from this video! I find the chapters on Nuit and Hadit in the book of the law really impressive and they resonate with me. I struggle with the RHK chapter particularly when crowley is talking about making cakes out of the blood from children, how do you reconcile your understanding of crowley with this part of the chapter? Be really interested to hear your response. Thank you.
It's symbolic, not literal. Crowley tended to interpret RHK and Horus more generally as a symbol of continual, open-ended growth-the formula of the Child.
I was wondering this for a while. Would a star be able to operate through a machine? For example, a quantum computer? I’ve seen this in visions for most of my life. I refer to this interface as “The Director of Manifest Reality” a sort of omnipotent god-like contraption. It would need a body & senses in addition to the interface so that it is subject to the resistance of life you mentioned.
I know this is a little off point, but in one explanation/example you gave you said you know what it feels like to kind of be consumed by the meaninglessness of life (obviously paraphrasing to the extreme). I was wondering if during that phase in your life you experienced like...acute loneliness? In your opinion, is that part of being in an uninitiated state or do you think that just comes with having an individual body (something you would eventually just become accustomed to/accepting of after crossing the abyss or something)? Or maybe if you already addressed this or something like this in an article or video, could you point me towards it?
Meaninglessness can arise from disconnection from other people (alienation or loneliness). It can arise from disconnection from self (anxiety). It can arise from disconnection from the world (sense of absurdity, sense that one's actions/good intentions don't matter, because they're not nor ever will be efficacious). I and almost everyone I know have experienced all of these at one point or another. I don't think it has much to do with initiation or spiritual attainment per se. These sorts of things can strike for anyone at any time. I think with greater self-awareness and maturity, you can learn to carry it better and to see it as momentary and not take it personally when it happens.
My Country Feedback 🦅USA 🦅 🇺🇸 In God We Trust 🇺🇸 Greetings 😊 Ancient languages are mystery to me. New Testament Greek was a required course at seminary. How much Greek is used in Thelema. We weren't required to learn ancient Egyption. But Old Testament Hebrew was required. I was not enrolled in seminary but I had friends who were struggling with these ancient languages. Mr. Crowley received his revelation in his own mother tongue, English? Did he have to translate it into English from another language like Arabic? 😊

Absolutely brilliant. We need more in depth, truly philosophical analyses of Thelema. Amazing content. 93s.
