[link to sabazius.oto-usa.org (secure)] What is the significance of this writing and why did you feel inspired to post it? Comes across as gibberish to me... I have been studying Crowley's teachings when I get a free minute and I have been meaning to post this for sometime now because it confuses me. Truth be told a lot of Crowley's writing is confusing to me lol Liber XV, The Gnostic Mass Aleister Crowley wrote The Gnostic Mass — technically called Liber XV or "Book 15" — in 1913 while travelling in Moscow, Russia. The structure is similar to the Mass of the Eastern Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church, communicating the principles of Crowley's Thelema. It is the central rite of Ordo Templi Orientis and its ecclesiastical arm, Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica. The ceremony calls for five officers: a Priest, a Priestess, a Deacon, and two acolytes, called Children (though current practice is that the part is usually performed by adults).[citation needed] The end of the ritual culminates in the consummation of the eucharist, consisting of a goblet of wine and a Cake of Light, after which the congregant proclaims “There is no part of me that is not of the gods!” Crowley explains why he wrote the Gnostic Mass in his Confessions: While dealing with this subject I may as well outline its scope completely. Human nature demands (in the case of most people) the satisfaction of the religious instinct, and, to very many, this may best be done by ceremonial means. I wished therefore to construct a ritual through which people might enter into ecstasy as they have always done under the influence of appropriate ritual. In recent years, there has been an increasing failure to attain this object, because the established cults shock their intellectual convictions and outrage their common sense. Thus their minds criticize their enthusiasm; they are unable to consummate the union of their individual souls with the universal soul as a bridegroom would be to consummate his marriage if his love were constantly reminded that its assumptions were intellectually absurd. I resolved that my Ritual should celebrate the sublimity of the operation of universal forces without introducing disputable metaphysical theories. I would neither make nor imply any statement about nature which would not be endorsed by the most materialistic man of science. On the surface this may sound difficult; but in practice I found it perfectly simple to combine the most rigidly rational conceptions of phenomena with the most exalted and enthusiastic celebration of their sublimity.[1] [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Last Edited by The Serpent's Maiden on 09/30/2018 04:29 PM |

Wisdom will usually strike a chord within you... It certaily won't come across as confusing or incoherent.... Yes, that is true too. However, I think this man was onto something, was he a genius? Or insane? Perhaps both? lol but something still brings me back to his writings. |

Right but it's the mystery of mystery! omg so confusing and secretive It reminds me of that snake that goes around in the circle, i think eating it's tail??? Ouroboros... The first known appearance of the ouroboros motif is in the Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld, an ancient Egyptian funerary text in KV62, the tomb of Tutankhamun, in the 14th century BC. The text concerns the actions of the god Ra and his union with Osiris in the underworld. In an illustration from this text, two serpents, holding their tails in their mouths, coil around the head, neck, and feet of an enormous god, who may represent the unified Ra-Osiris. Both serpents are manifestations of the deity Mehen, who in other funerary texts protects Ra in his underworld journey. The whole divine figure represents the beginning and the end of time.[8] [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |
