Meditate > on this message, and think again about your goals, Brother. to define an end to the journey is to place restriction on another. there is no end, only further destinations. the crown of the tree is but another oasis on t he journey to self enlightenment/conv w HGA/whatever. to stop is to admit defea t and become one of the black brothers(that is such a stupid sounding term:) any wasy, there is no restriction on what can be acomplished by an individual. jt V.V. 128 The Word of Sin is RESTRICTION ------------------ jt@brewich.com (V.V.)

Zax at Pyramid Lodge. She is full of ideas and experience in the matter. If you'd care to get in touch with her, I'd highly recommend it- you can reach her c/o Pyramid Lodge or if you want to e-mail me I'll help put you in touch. Another idea she had was to translate out the various god-names used in ritual- when you start calling upon "Lord God of Hosts" and such, the result sounds remarkably Presbyterian (*) :) 93/93 ,-----. . . / H \ -Ar Aakhu-t | H | bb125@scn.org | H | \ ===^=== / `._____,' 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: To Meta Therion Area: Thelema To: Michelle Hass 28 Oct 94 14:31:50 Subject: a place to start UpdReq MH> Careful, TMT.

What is your theory behind this, because I do not understand. If no one can attain this goal, then why is it even mentioned? 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
