a most interesting return
Something surely must have happened for my presence to be so gracefully asked to return. It truly has been too long since the little one released me. Greetings in my return, and with it the winds of change will blow fiercely~

Re: Bouncing Ideas
Agreed- fear is indeed an inevitable part of the journey, integral to dealing with these forces that invoke our fear on a primal level.... oh yes, my fear was once a dominant force inky life... no longer, however i do find myself at odds with myself.... i seem drawn back to that which i left- i see ...

Re: Baphomet- not "Satan" oriented
thank you for the link, and this has been a very fun topic to discuss. As with our Crowley vs Spare discussion- I feel that there is much that is too subjective and as you stated in this last- needs heavy experimentation. While I can agree with you on most points, the points we seem to differ on are...

Re: Crowley vs Spare
That cleared up a lot Cyber, thank you. :) I can see the reluctance to suggest end-rewards when it could be anything, and especially working within set parameters when we don't know the winning-conditions. I would very much like to hear from others as well, given all this new material to the post. S...

Re: Baphomet- not "Satan" oriented
You and I have our practice in common then. I attempt to apply science to religion, magick, theology and philosophy to better understand how things work. In my experience, all of the areas I have practiced in have their merits. What is the difference between Baphomet as an actual being vs a higher p...

Re: Crowley vs Spare
So how do you think one becoming TRULY aware would affect everyone else and their awareness? After that, how do you think that existence as we know it might possibly change upon the collective "whole" becoming aware? Would it change, and thus we are no longer aware? Or would we all become ...

Re: Baphomet- not "Satan" oriented
While this be true, I could not fathom calling upon Baphomet as anything other than what it originally stood for. While the name may have changed, it is used outside of context. Take for example trying to ask around for a friend- their name is John- and you are asking around for William and instead ...

Re: Baphomet- not "Satan" oriented
A most agreeable sentiment Cyber- though it was more relative to how it effects the satanic belief system (so perhaps posting it in gnosticism was incorrect of me). How WOULD it effect such a matter, when the symbol is now regarded as Satanic when the term Baphomet is actually a reference to the hol...

Re: Crowley vs Spare
In that case, LaVey and Crowley would be right about the self being a god - in the long run. Besides being a singular entity encompassing all, the criteria of a god includes the state of all knowing. Back to duality, it is the self asking the higher self for glimpses of this relatively already obta...

Re: Baphomet- not "Satan" oriented
forgot to post my link to biblehub.com.

Baphomet- not "Satan" oriented
Wasn't sure if this fell into the category of Gnosticism or Satanism- because it relates to both. The Baphomet being used by Satanists as a representation of the Devil or Satan/Lucifer for so many years has clouted the practices and the stigmatized the symbol as evil. I personally have no feelings o...

Re: About the word Paganism
I consider the word "Pagan" to represent (and was used by many as such considering Bhuddists and such were even called Pagans by the church- will follow up with source) any religion or practice not of the Abrahamic beliefs after the inquisition. As aforementioned in the post- words and the...

Re: Standard Set
That is a safe assumption in my book Cyberdemon. Though it can also beg the questions of demons and angels simply being dubbed as such on the grounds of our personal beliefs/morals. If you grew up with the belief that killing or stealing is bad, a demon of death or of theft could be seen as an angel...
