AOS work is just great. But I never heard about that Hitler story... It's hard to find information about his life. That's one of the many reasons why I take him as "the opposite to Crowley"... :)

Wow, very nice. You take the AOS and make him simple! I found the part about emotions being part of perception interesting. That completely contradicts the typical understanding that emotions are generally pathological or abreactions formed by unconscious conditioning. If they are part of perception as the color red is, then there is a basis for objectivity there.
As someone who has read enough Wilhelm Reich to be influenced by him, what are your thoughts on his ideas of orgone energy?

I think it's quite problematic. His ideas about emotional body armor and so on are teriffic, but I'm sceptical about the orgone stuff. I think he wasn't scientific in that part of his work, because he was posessed by an idea that he wanted to prove.

I think that part of the reason they burned his books for quackery was because they exposed an element of truth in them.

@colonelkilgore7 Well, possible. He wrote about sexuality and it was a time of "witchhunting"...

These are getting better and better. I thought for a moment you were talking about golem seagulls. hehe.
Your English is actually very good as I'm sure you are aware.
I need to watch this again because it wass a bit over my head but it seemed like you were describing a method for useing the trumps as way to recreate a moment or space of time. Some type of talismanic symbolism? I'm gonna watch it again. Like a pictagram but really a glyph?

Let's say a symbol that describes what you feel. A symbol that represents a state of mind, in order to get into that state of mind by relaxed concentration on that symbol. Systems like the trumps can help to make sure you didn't leave aspects of life out.
