May it be that we are extremly far away from the thread topic??
Equal....
-posting or Not posting of higher Grades:
The Problem I see for III+ to post in a Forum like this is, that they are allways seen as ToS, equal if they write down their opinion or not, they are seen as Official and so they have really to think over every word they write...
I can allways write for my self, no one will see me as an official, that makes it easier to give all thoughts to others if I wish to do so...
-The unqualified
Yes it is right, that we are seen as Unqualified within the ToS, that was told me more than one time, writing down in own words what I think about words or Ideas or when I talk with some "Specialists" about my Experience (What can not be true because this one and that one has written that it is so rarely that somthing like this happend that There is no possibilty of being true... Blah Blah Blah)...
But interesting is that this often not comes from III+ but from Adepts... (Yes I am still I°)
The good news is, It does not really interst me, what others think about myself and my writings
-What you can find outside of ToS
When I told some old Friends who are Members of OTO that I entered ToS I became a nice present, The Tablets up to Magister and the Scrolls and many other Articles from ToS Not for the use of I°
You can get all if you want or know the right people, who have their relationships....
But the really interesting for me entering ToS was, that the Magical Material of the Christal Tablet was nothing new...
Long before knowing anything about ToS I taught Basics of Magic and Wrote down some Articles about, which are still used in some German Comunities for Teaching Newbees the Basics of Magic (Now for up to 10 years).
Reading the Black Magic and the Within and Beyond I have to find out that most of the Things I wrote down as Basics, also where written down there, only with an other Coat than I have given to my own ideas...
So If you know the Table of Content and have a short view into a Summary you can walk through the Internet and find Similar ideas only with other names. The real Magician can find all he want, when he really know what he has to search...
-The Question of Guidance by III°+
I think there we have the Question of Intellect and Abstract thinking...
Some Things may be a little bit Hard to Understand, when the Aspirant has no good magical Basic on which he can build the Theoretical Constuct of the Ideas and Workings.
And there are some Ideas that may be a little bit dangerous to walk through without a good knowledge in the Paths of Existance and Magic...
Looking at the Human race and those within who try to walk the Paths of Magic I think there are many taking the Setian Path who need the Help because of not having a True Basic and or the overview to build up their own Ideas and Theories on what is given.
But there are Also some who don't need it, who are able to use what they can find to learn and Xeper for them self...
The only interesting for them may be the Inspiration they can get for their path from others, but it is no real need.
Between us... one of the most interesting Texts for me is the sapphire Tablet because it walkes the same path I have found within Chabas for the work at myself and my Environment, and Chabas was the Idea I gave my OTO Friend with the Hint that I entered ToS... And so the Dragon bites in his own Tail :rainbow1:
