A new echo for Thelema-Chat or Thelema-Tech? I don't seem to understand? As to my moderatorship of two new echos.... Well, to quote Lt. Cmdr. Data from the second part of last seasons premier..... "By order of Starfleet Command, I here-by take charge of this vessel.... Please note the date and time of my arrival in the ship's log." Or, in my case...... "By Order of Frater Nachash, I now have new ego-trip outlets..... Please make note of all ass-holish comments that come forth from my fingers so you can use them against me later." ;) Pax. 93 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Peter Giordano Area: Thelema To: Tony Iannotti 23 Jun 92 23:59:14 Subject: Re: Creation/Destruction Sent UpdReq Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The WHOLE Of The Law Not off base at all. I've read the book of the law and several things by Crowley, and it pretty much agrees with things that I've been thinking all along -- that all men are free to do whatever they want, but at the same time, they're responsable for their actions. Free to love who they want, when they want, how they want, but always with responsability and respect for those that they love. It's a beautiful thing, really. No, it aint you :) we haven't met yet, although we might one day. As to how it was twisted: People are always looking for something to explain to them how things are and why they are the way they are, and some with look in religion, some in politics, and some in thelema. And there will be those that sit in positions of authority that will use a person's need to manipulate that person into doing whatever they feel like doing. Hence the term "control freaks". You'll find them in christianity, in gay activisim, and in thelema. As for the details, I'll give you complete details in email if you like. Suffice to say that someone who said all the right things and looked good and smelled good made me promise never to do anything that would violate my will, and then turned around and tried to make me do EVERTHING that was against my will. It was quite discouraging, and hurt me a bit, but then I remembered a saying that I preach quite often: The best laid plans of mice and men will often get fucked up by some asshole with no life. Anyway, thanks for listening to my ranting and raving. Love Is The Law, Love Under WILL Peter Giordano 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718
