@CerunnosTheHornedGod What is Love!? lol

[CerunnosTheHornedGod]

You obviously never heard the song :L lol

Not trying to be disrespectful but I couldnt resist xp

[HeruTV]

@Cerunnos Obviously I do since I was quoting the relevant lyric...

I wonder if frater Oz is a part of the OTO. If Aleister Crowley is to be elevated to the ranks of prophet then, why did he neglect and disregard his companions in the Himalayan expedition? Instead of dying a martyrs death he died in a very undignified manner. I certainly will not follow in his foot steps. However I do think Crowley was a good writer but that is all. I prefer to get my Esoteric studies from Rosicrucianism and The Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn.

[HeruTV]

People were dying all around Jesus and being murdered around Muhammad. A prophet doesn't mean people around him are immune to harm. Besides, Thelema is about "force & fire" & Doing their Wills... not avoiding pain or suffering like most Old Aeon religions are utterly obsessed with.

The fruit that falls from the tree, holds the entire tree within the single apple, thus the fruit is the tree.

If you call your self a Thelema cult follower, then you are the apple that represents the whole tree or the whole being of Thelema, which is Aleister Crowley, the Beast666. So this means you support The supreme Rite of slaying a willing blood sacrifice, eating fecal matter (excrement), beastyality etc.. You hide behind the fake mask of WILL of LOVE, and NO I am not Christian at all!

@zochirho Ok this is an old comment. You're right Thelema is a much better system of Theurgy. Matter of fact I am a 1st degree in the Ordo Templi Orientis. Allright until I find a way to delete that old message I suppose I'll have to update my fellow Thelemites on my new views. 93 to everyone. "Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of the Law."

@zochirho Modern Rosicrucianism= Waste of time.

Golden Dawn= Flawed, and sloppy Magickal system.

Crowley pointed out tons of problems with the GD.

[EquitorialPancakes]

@EquitorialPancakes Should such unclean flesh be adorned in the dross of angels? Why then in life do you seek to unlock the mysteries of death? I pray verily these things retain their place with the Holy Spirit.

[EquitorialPancakes]

Take not the wand in hand, nor bring the cup to thy lips, nay, watch not the disks twirl round, nor shall sword be brandished in fervor. Do not say unto thyself "I am a magician", for thou art a fool in devil's tryst; your fire burns, your wine parches, your earth bears no fruit, and your air smothers. Are these things not sacred to you, aspirant?

[Olebull93]

93/93=93!

@HeruTV Do you think will is a predestined thing controlled by a higher power, or do you think we have to choose our will by ourselves? Say someone wants to change people's ideas, to you would that be a thing that is controlled by something other than that person, that person themselves, or both in different parts?

[blackerthanebony100]

@HeruTV I see (most of) religion as 2 things: Spirituality, and Morality. How would you look at Spirituality? Do you believe in any gods/souls/afterlife? I know I may be asking this in a general idea of religion, but I was interested. (Personally I think we most likely have more power than we think, and some of us may be able to achieve 'god' status/ I don't really believe in any afterlife, but again it may be a possibility)
