Do you think so? Is there a cure? I certainly hope that there is. Please help me with this, it is starting to itch.

I know who you are, just as I know the identity of the others that are posting here, just as you know my identity from a plethora of websites.

Ah-ha, this^^^ explains a very great deal!>nods knowingly< It's no surprise when a number of people post to different sites under the same name. This isn't the only masonic forum. But don't assume it's a "them vs you" scenario. People disagree all the time. Knowing someone doesn't make you agree with them.

Plus I am HUGELY amused at the fact that R.promptly responded to your post! Rembrandt KNOWS that The Current Thinking On Masonic Forums, as far as "Enlightenment" goes, is to take esoteric douchebaggery, and become an EXPERT on it by reading Crowley, Case, Mathers, Waite, and the like, and flinging it about in front of the dummies, to make themselves feel superior. When they fling it about in the face of the likes of Those Of Us Who Are True Ascended Masters Of The Great White Lodge, and we tell them they're largely full of it, they get even louder. These forum experts are the same as any other profane dimwit--they buy, 100%, into some 95 percenter newage (rhymes with sewage) b.s. that was written by some overly focused and obsessed opium-smoking whackjob 100 or so years ago, don't analyze or inwardly digest, and start preaching to both those who don't, and those who do, know better. Jimminy Jeebus Crispy, you gotta use that Sword of Discrimination. And whatever happened to The First Rule? Just want to clarify. Do you know better?

Actually, a study of the overall dynamic of the fin-de-siecle period, when the Aeon was changing over from Pisces to Aquarius is most enlightening in terms of later dynamics and trends in the occult current; Dion Fortune tells us, in the Mystical Qabalah that:
"those who approached the subject [of Qabalah] from the inside (that is to say, with the initiatory keys) and employed it as a practical system for the exaltation of consciousness, have, for the most part, maintained a secrecy, which, though it might have been not only justifiable and even essential in the days when the Inquisition rewarded such researches with the stake, is difficult to assign to any more creditable motive in out liberal age than a desire to create and maintain prestige. A very effectual 'corner" in occult practice, if not in occult knowledge, has been established and maintained among English-speaking peoples for the last quarter of a century(i.e, since 1900 or so.) Consequently, the earth being ripe for the sowing and the wheat not being broadcast therein, the four winds brought strange seeds to the waiting ground, and a tropical growth sprang up, that, having no roots in racial tradition, withered away or developed strange forms."
It is true that Mathers was refusing to part with anything of consequence in his teachings; The fact that Crowley published the lot was no doubt an act of rebellion against those who Dion Fortune was speaking of, and perhaps we ought to be grateful that he "set the precedent", otherwise we might all be still "in the dark" as far as occult teachings go. If one wants to understand the present and intelligently foresee the future, it is important to study the PAST.

Initiation doesn't matter if you read Crowley. Even that doesn't matter. Action matters, real works. Speculate (guess) about what is going on. Brag about getting bootted from other forums. That surely establishes your credentials or your validity.

Yet here you are, persistently stalking around after me like an annoying dingleberry! Being a CREEPY STALKER isn't doing anything for YOUR "credentials" or YOUR validity", so-called!

Just want to clarify. Do you know better? Please let me know if I do and how I may change that in the future.
The truth is this has been a very busy time for me personally.
A simple no would have served well.

If the O.T.O. serves as an individuals pathway to the divine then I would count myself as a supporter. We are fortunate to have so many avenues to enlightenment available to us.
These are exciting times.

The great Sufi Master Shri Ramakrishna described Paths like the OTO as "dirty Paths". He said "There are many ways to God; some are clean and some are dirty. Just as a house has many doors to admit people, so has God many ways to approach Him. There is the front door, where guests are welcomed, and the doors by which the garbage is taken out and the route to the outhouse is taken. All lead to the same goal , provided one follows the Path to the end."

Some paths just lead to tetanus or worse yet no real growth whatsoever.
