Have you considered the possibility that you can only Xeper so far in the ToS? Call it Chronzon, call it ego, call it what you may, its nothing that 9 ½ grams of mushrooms wont take away. %)
Meditate on this if you will:
If you know that you are in truth a Magus, then consider them well, for this is the state of being that you now assume - a state of being attained by only eleven other beings.
-M. Aquino (Xem and Per-t: From Magic to Mysticism. Aug 82 Scroll of Set).
Hunt down this quote in the Scrolls and you will become aware of the 11 Magi spoken of: Moses, Buddha, Lao Tan, Krishna, Jesus, Osiris, Mohammed, Crowley, and
. ahem
.LaVey, Aquino, Barrett, and now Norton.
Do you honestly think that Z. Schreck and the rest of the ToS Magi are equivalent to Lao Tan, or are you being led down the garden path? Mull it over for awhile. A few thousand years of history writ, but suddenly the ToS is spitting out more magic men than Jenna Jameson.
With that said, I have a quote for Sireal, who apparently does not like quotes:
He (Set) is not a supernatural deity of the kind expounded in traditional religious dogma, but rather a non-terrestrial Intelligence developed to a scope and capability non-intuitive to the human mind at its present level of evolution. He is finite, yet his power and will are such that no creature of the universe may stand against them. This is not a supernatural trait, but one of a highly developed, supremely evolved Intelligence.
-Lilith Sinclair (aka Aquino)
Quoted from The God Set Jan 77 Scroll of Set.
Doesnt that sound like something to say while rubbing one out to LAM?
