"Re-enacting rituals written by another will make you an actor in a drama, nothing more. A distinction needs to be made here: some rituals - such as those of certain tribal mysteries, or of the Christian Church, or those which Crowley wrote for the Ordo Templi Orientis before its reorganisation and realignment with the Stellar Gnosis - are pure dramas. They are mnemonic devices for the communication of knowledge, not Gnosis. They serve the same function as fairy tales and folklore. Gnosis comes from one's own personal experience, one's own rituals. It is not conferred on one, like the bite of a werewolf; nor can it be purchased in a phony 'initiation' ceremony. True initiation is only ever earned, never bought; and this earning takes place only after one's own creativity has been brought into play. For this to happen, the Imagination needs to be accessed. It is the function of creative occultism to stimulate this, as when an artist paints something never seen before. The result is a transformation of consciousness in all those exposed to the stimulation; suddenly, something that was impossible becomes possible."

I visited Egypt in 2001 and did a lot of sketching. Probably one of the most relaxing holidays I've ever had.

yes, a good thread indeed.
I was and still am interested in what you have to contribute (GeorgesII)tap your mind for us, and allow the torrents of eternal truths spring forth!

Disclaimer: I'm at work and writing without spell checking, this blabling under may sound really strange.
hmmm lets start with the making of a new religion, a religion that can unite us all. some here will understand where I'm going with it, some won't.
Tv is a good way to influence us on a subconscious level and I've been seeing sun and moon worship disguise as cheezy hollywood love story/brain washing.take Doll house which has a high level of Mkultra conditioning in it. the plot is easy, a very powerfull secret agency is using manchurian candidates to commit certain act by promising them a new clean future.
twisted right? but when you look under the surface you see sirius everywhere, the floor where they sleep is shaped like a pentagram, the agent's name is also significative, the hidden visuals like owls, etc ( I will stop now because I can go on for hours), if you haven't seen it yet download it.now lets look at true blood which can be seen as a mythological ancient tale remixed, you have all the best ingredients in one, you have vampires, shapeshifters, ancient gods and off course a good dose of sex.
but the best is the fellowship of the sun, a christian group that worships the sun which is suppose to protect them from the vampires. In the lastest episode uou even get your dose of sun + church.
But in real life lots of so called evangelist churchs are already worshipping the sun, I'm wondering what will be the cataclism that will make us all believe in a singe entity.Those who saw Californication last year probably probably laughed at the obvious thelemic undertones.
There's too much going on and sometimes my english lets me down, lets just say sun symbolism is once again the new black.
did you know the smily represents the sun?

you're right about the solar thing, georgesii. even the story of jesus is a solar story. he rises, he falls, then rises again.
in the OTO we greet the sun in a special way thrice daily.
my pseudonym "scarabin" is a solar reference
- GeorgesII0
I didn't know that Scarabin, I believe you know who is Mr Duquette :) he sounds like a nice guy,
Some of the things I say may be inexact because I research my information and read/watch/listen to all the info I can find. I realise that if there's someone that can help me reach a state of meta-control, that person is myself. The internet is a fabulous tool because I've emailed some really interresting person in the field of metaphysic, esoterism and occult and they all happily answered my questions.
I still have a long road ahead of me, but I'm glad to know that there are other interested in the non physical world.today is my first day of holiday and I'm going in a hole far far away from a computer ehehe
Anyways, this is the last gemn I found on the net, its called "Thunderbolt of the Gods", if the theories they are putting out are right, it means Tesla was more than a visionary, he was probably higher than Einstein.
http://video.google.com/videopla…- yeah, i'm friends with him. he was actually my sponsor for joining the order. OTO archbiship AND master mason. brilliant guy.scarabin
- wow, that pretty fuckn cool. I always wanted to join an order but when I was a child my dad warned me not toGeorgesII
- involve myself into this matter. let say he was (maybe still) part of an order that use a flower and a plus sign ;)GeorgesII
- that particular order has extremely close ties with the OTO, particularly in the higher degreesscarabin

- drop the glow though ;)GeorgesII
- <<< For love of Pharaoh, lose that glow around the type!!!utopian

"... I am not in a position to affirm that Paschal Beverly Randolph produced the first putative Order of the Rosy Cross in America, but I have failed to trace anything anterior to his date, and he will answer as the first witness in a line of occult adventurers who are typically characteristic of their place and circumstance."
A.E. Waite
"What seems to be clear beyond a doubt is Randolph’s great originality and status as the vehicle for sex to (re?)enter the esoteric field. But once a person gets the mere idea (and what an initiation that must have been in the 19th century!), they may well develop theoretically and practically on their own. It is the conceptual bringing together of sex and spiritual development, which the Church had so separated, that is the spark that lights the fuse..."
J.Godwin
"Remember O Neophyte... that I am not dealing in mere philosophical formulae, ‘recipes,’ or trashy ‘directions,’ but in, and with fundamental principles, underlying all being. Fix this principle firmly in your memory, and roll it under the tongue of your clearest understanding; take it in the stomach of your spirit; digest it well, and assimilate its quintessence to, and with, your own soul. That principle is formulated thus: LOVE LIETH AT THE FOUNDATION (of all that is); and Love is convertibly passion; enthusiasm; affection; heat; fire; soul God. Master that."
P.B. Randolph
Dr. P. B. Randolph is either the author or the key Western transmitter of the core magical teaching of the Ordo Templi Orientis. Either way, the only thing remarkable at this point is why his name did not appear initially among the list of Saints read out in The Gnostic Mass. His elevation to the Order of the Lion by U.S. Grand Lodge of the OTO has done much to redress this omission. His contributions to the core teaching of the Western Magical Tradition are difficult to measure but very substantial--essential, in fact.
