Hey, you mean I'M responsible for the lack of messages? Now ain't that a bitch! Maybe I should start making some seriously stupid statements -- or some stupidly serious statements -- so people will have something to carp about. Hmm. Maybe we could come up with some subjects for discussion where expertise isn't a factor? Or where everyone's opinion is just as good as everyone else's, regardless of experience? We had a good discussion going on the local echo for a while, on the subject of "Just what the hell IS the "Great Work"? Is it ONLY a matter of individuals getting initiated, or is there more involved, and if so, what? For instance, does Crowley's proselyzation of Thelema count as part of the Great Work?
