Well... I can appriciate your perspective here. Following in the Jungian
idea of "VERBAL Images", childish or overly simplistic views of ultimate
reality, and getting stuck in literalistic thinking...I agree that the
verbal images need review. A good analogy might be how we as children
saw our parents. As adults they remain our biological parents however we
see them in a newer, more complete way. I tend to tremble a bit when
anyone claims their path is the exclusive, ONly right (or left in this
case) one. Even Jesus did'nt claim ALL knowledge when he was in His
Jewish body. Anyway... I appriciate your perspective AND YOUR RIGHT:

->         (Let the Bible-Thumpers get hold of that statement, eh? I'll
-> quoted at every Tent Meeting in the country).
You bet'cha...unfortuantly many are paralized by fear, and I 've seen
this in ALL religions. Anyway... please explain ( if this is not a tabo
question the symbols at the end of your name...:
->         aka Setian Kevin T. Filan I*
"I*"
Also, I recall from my brief experiance with MASONs the Luciferian
"light" oriented theology which they and to a more "secret" way is
followed by the Rosicrutions and others... These were all to have been
based in Egyption Mythology and religion. Are you saying that this is
the basis of SET?
Last question... (hope I'm not buggin you...after all occult is "hidden
stuff, right?  Where exactly is the BIG differences between the Levey
folks and the SET folks? I read several posts on the ToS vs the CoS and
the history of it all...but am still confused. Other than politics was
ther substantitive differences?  Does one follow a "verbal" symbol...ie
A Diety called Satan or Lucifer ( the counterpart of Christ)..etc.
Also, is evil (bad/negative/hurting folks/liars and others kinda stuff)
real or symbolic in your faith? Is it virtuous or to be avoided?
Is Love a virtue to both The SET folks and the Levey folks? I've had a
really hard time beliving the propaganda that Satainists found hatred a
virtue and love a blasphemy...(Kinda ADAMS' Family sterotype).
Thanks...hope you don't mind my questions I promise not to bug you'all
too much more.
See ya..
