The Great Book of HML Quotes

MMX

Words from the Lodge/compiled by Arrow

Part 1


Shade wrote "...The concept of the HML as a Lodge as a
 shelter for all fellow spirits has been very important to us.

That's why I like the term "Lodge" as applied to the HML.  Much better than "Order" or "Temple", and more descriptive.  The picture this list brings to my mind is a circle of very different people sitting around a campfire, drawn to the light and warmth and the company of Pilgrims like themselves. A refuge from "the chaos of the Normal".  I think many of us have had profound insights from conversation around campfires, figuratively or literally.
 
Each and every group 11* has been utterly different- it just evolved that
way.

Hang in there, sacred sibling. When you're doing your will, the universe provides what you need.
More power to you, and more than enough joy.
Love,

'Papa Nick has this to say: "It is our Intent to open the psyche of homo sapiens to the energies of the constellations of both Outer and Inner Space, so that by drawing all within there will be a realization of the Oneness of All, and our destiny as an unified, post-terrestrial race. May the Circle be Unbroken.  Every man and every woman is a star."'

I have a problem with Karma; it's too much like a guilt trip that religions
 put on you so you toe the line. It's like Crowley's "Do what thy wilt
greeting  which I don't used since using it limits me.

I don't believe
there is any way to lead anyone off of their true will path.  Maybe
divert them, but not block them or change them, as ultimately
everything leads us to True Will.  I feel True Will is the context,
like the Buddhist idea of Enlightenment, it is the sacred witness, the
Consciousness we are all part of, humans, crystals, sacred tools,
animals, etc
Peace,

-- The dynamic interplay between the feminine and masculine energies in Nature.  The Lady and Her Lord, whatever name you give them.  You might call this Earth, the Middle World.  Our most important work here in the New Aeon is a reclamation of the balance between our species needs and the necessity for Nature to take its own course -- cooperation with Nature instead of domination and exploitation of it.
Papa Nick

Yes. And this list is, therefore, art. And we're all artists, adding to it one word at a time:)

Art IS the prime manifestation of Magick.

There's great value in letting a/the 'moment' take you. Intuition perhaps? Astrology is complex and oh so transient. Layers of meanings. I believe the mesopotamians were the first to scribe something?
Nonetheless, I love a shiney moon. It's good to keep perspective, in that peasants would work under it. Now we can dance! Luckly aren't we?

My take on the 1111 is that it is basically the brand and shorthand of "the Thelemic phoenix gnosis," having to do with the secret incarnating mystic soul of magickal self.

Visual image that descended tonight:My Work is a big Christmas Tree... Hahaha. Kether is the star....
I guess the gifts under the tree are all the toys that Sothis is gently
depositing in our gene pool....

So.... instead of Jesus at Xmas, what do we have? A little Crowleymas crèche of Aleister the Beast (portrayed with 666, horns and a tail, and trampling Mathers under his feet) and Rose (naked) in the Great Pyramid chamber, with the part of baby Horus played by a light bulb in a sarcophagus, a spinning day-glow Stele of Revealing lit by a black-light, and Neuberg, Mudd and Fuller as the three wise men? And a winged orb mobile hanging on a string as the Star in the West? And a table of offerings loaded with booze and strange drugs? Hey, now I want one!

It seems to me that Aquarius, more than any of the other signs/constellations, signifies the reification of and opening to stellar energy.  Meditation on the Tarot Trump "The Star" will be important in my approach.

Picked up the 'Wedding Singer' from my local library. I guess we're like the people at table nine?

Starting as xtians perhaps means we won't end up as them. Still have a deep reference for the Christ but xtianity itself has some explaining to do.
-Tristram

Also, I am wondering if the physical/emotional/mental bodies needs strengthening during periods in which Sirius energies are transmitted and besides getting adequate rest, exercise, and nutrition what else one can do to fortify...

It's only the personalities not the mysteries that disturb.  The universe is a huge place, like earth in many ways.  The good, the bad & the ugly.

lord forbid we'd get our magicks and our senses of humour mixing up...

If I did believe in the lords of karma, I feel I would be someday be
made a saint.  But I don't believe in any external judges.  So I am
just as doomed as everyone else.

I found Kaballah. I found Crowley, and I read and read and I practiced alone. My father bought me my first deck of tarot cards.
-Shoshana

I believe that one can be moral without religiosity and the concepts
of karma, sin and guilt.  There's a difference from acting out of fear
and acting out of responsibility
Ron

Brother I too was a draft resister. I was captured in Montana, dragged in chains back to Tennessee, forced to volunteer :-\  then set free on the first day Tricky Dicky declared 'Peace with (dis) honor.'

"Nevertheless, human space travel is so expensive and so dangerous that we
are going to need novel, even extreme solutions if we really want to expand
the range of human civilization beyond our own planet. To boldly go where no
one has gone before does not require coming home again."
Peter

Oops, the subject line should have said King Solomon's Keys, not Kind Solomon's Keys. :D

My father never shut up about the war or the depression, or his right wing rant, but he was quite safe by the time I was born in 1948. It was my generation that I saw coming home from Vietnam,
the boy in the box!

Hey, a question to all:
How has magick/mysticism changed your life?  Who would you be without it?  Are you probably more satisfied with everything issues, work, money, love, health, etc., rather than if you never indulged.
Tennie

lets see i would have probably killed myself in my early teens, but i never
really had a choice so I cannot be certain. Magick gave me the ability to
create meaning for myself in a world that was stripped of meaning. It gave
me the confidence in myself so that I could seek happiness, love, fortune,
luck etc.
Nova

Know ye well the difference between the gull and the dove in the pouring
rain.

I'd venture to say that people are channeling this now with absolutely no awareness of what the Babalon concept, Goddess even is. It's abounding and yet so founded in feminine intuition, the Beastly intellect has gone right out the door.
Iris E.

Eventually I wound up here... this is beginning to sound like either the scrap-heap of 'used' magicians, or the Ye Mighty Highest Lodge of All, LOL.

AION, remember the little conversation we had when we first met face
to face?   You asked my opinion about what would happen if you did a
Liber Astarte to your HGA.
