They seem to think that they are improving upon The Church of Satan, but that is totally up to the observer. You see to the Satanist, Satan is essentially a work of art, and in effect the Setians are creating their own work of art. My own observations have left me with the impression that what...
Its quite possible that atheists belong to the ToS. By their own literature we can see that it is unnecessary to hold a theistic belief in Set to be a member. Though I find it hard to believe that an atheist would stick around for long, I think that at any given time there has, is, or will be...
While I agree with your response, I must ask why you’ve responded.
What you have posted is your own knowledge. So if your intent is to un-know, is there something that you are trying to work out within that causes you to post what you know?
You crack me up.
If once, just once you could provide some evidence of this fantasy world that you are so emotionally attached to then we could begin a learning process on both ends of the debate. The most ignorant thing that any truth seeker could possibly do, is to think they know the...
Know thy self. A mantra that weve all heard numerous times, but is self knowledge possible?
Historically philosophy has relied upon introspection to provide an answer. From Thomas Aquinas to Decartes the argument for the existence of the mind has generally followed the following formula...
Perhaps you should just read what I had written. For the sake of example I did not find it necessary to list more than three of all possible extensions. If the reader grasps the illustration, there is little need to confuse them with excessive examples.
My use of the word hunger rather than...
For the purposes of answering your question,Self was made manifest(in love) from the great unmanifest,the vast untapped reservoir of Void/Source energy.Everything has come from this *source*,everything shall return to it(even ashes & dust).
Void: A state of non existence
Energy: The...
Darkwater, you are completely missing the point by continuing in circular logic, so lets try a few questions at a time.
1. In the beginning was the Self
This proposition indicates that there was a creation of Self. So from a void of absolute nothingness, Self appeared. How do you get...
Rather than do the whole quote thingy, I'll post my responses in bold to differentiate the two authors.
ok,here is the lot in it's entirety.........bon chaunce mes ami's
As conception creates dual beliefs of greater and greater complexity, first structure, then life, then intelligent life...
Lets start with a few quotes from Black Magic in Theory and Practice as found in The Crystal Tablet ..
The III* identifies a transition from a human state of being to that of a divine being ordained by, consecrated by, and sacred to Set.
Just as the II* represents the height of...
The paper that I suggested reading is not a map. You can not map what does not exist.
Lets try an analogy. Take your book of pleasure and balance it on the edge of your computer desk. As you can see, it has a centre of gravity. Now take a big old microscope and locate the books centre of...
In reply to Azakel,
Let’s assume that you begin your meditation by removing the current extensions of X.
…h+a+i
X
Where h=hunger
a=auditory symbols
i=imagery symbols
For this example we’ll assume that these are the only states that you need to...
Let us get back to the original post, for this question.
If you are meditating, how is it that you feel a pull?
Let us examine this question in mathematical form.
If X=Self
And X is extended in pull, or X to the power of P (where P=pull)
....p
X (excuse the ....)
How is it...
While the ToS has made great attempts to redefine Set as the Prince of Darkness, historically the question is not whether Set is equivalent to Lucifer, but is Set the Yahweh of the Hyksos/Palestinian tribes?
The dragons throne is an illusion. There is no Cartesian theatre, no Homunculus in charge of the meat machine. The self does not exist.
Creature-consciousness is a fascinating process that philosophers have contemplated since philosophers came into being, and while it is amusing to follow...
