From Slashdot:
Trolling friends’ entries.
Looks like the Purity test is making the rounds again. It’s come a long way since dl helped write it years ago. (I resent that the version list isn’t found on every iteration)
This one breaks it up into sectioanl purities as well. So… The latest:
the results
I actually cried on the way to work today.
This was a new emotion for me. It was happy yet hysterical tears. Basically, I think I’ll call it a kick of gnosis. In my ‘religion’ (Though, it’s not really accurate to call Thelema a religion or necessarily the full definition of what I consider religious; anyway…) the whole purpose of life is that quest to find out who one really is and truly live up to being that person. You do this hopefully by being moved in that direction by that ‘spiritual you’ which is that furthest direect connection to the divine that is represented by that ideal, perfect you.
Some call it HGA, some call it Guardian Angels, some call it our Conscience… Call it what you will.
I pulled a song I hadn’t listened to in quite some time. This song has far too much ‘baggage’ in my universe. This means, that it means more than I think it really should. Don’t get me wrong… I like the song. It’s got a nice beat and you can invoke to it. The memories of what it ties to make me smile because in someways it partially started me on the path I am on. It means more to other people who were more closely tied to it. (Which I realize is utterly vague to people who have no clue what I’m talking about)
I put the song on and I had concepts of Libers Samekh and Thisharb running thru my head. I had concepts of what KOC is supposed to mean… and than I just started to laugh and tear up… It’s about self and the joy in making one’s self more attuned to the will. Afterwards, I turned off my music and 4 creative projects of writing and directing resurfaced and my mental blocks shattered and they advanced in my head.
If you’re a Thelemite… feel free to look at the lyrics and see if that makes any sense, if you’re part of a specific group of people… um.. Thanks… for giving me an instrument that I think has more in it that any of us ever really thought about.
Yes, I’m weird. And I revel in this at times…
Yesterday, I made a post that prompted my readers to ask me any question. Of which I would answer it completely and honestly. I will leave this open and add to this post as I get more questions.
I’ve had a few questions come in and figured I’d start answering them. For the sake of privacy, I will not post the askers ID and may ‘edit the question’ so that it doesn’t identify anyone in particular.
