should i become a monk based on the writtng of Aleister Crowley and leave everything behind to travel and learn more about magic or is it not worth it?
>>34878241What are you proposing to do for money?
>>34878244steal food or work on farm for sleeping and food
>>34878244monks dont need money, they work all day for food and stay.
>>34878241Monks abandon self-will in favor of the divine will. You can't be a monk based on the writings of a satanist, because satanists are all about abandoning the divine will in favor of self-will. If you want to lead a holy life, you should read the works of men who led holy lives.
>>34878247the point for me if i ever do that is to move and to discover peoples and stories to maybe really have a answer
>>34878250I used the term "monk" but i really should use traveller i dont have faith in satanism or christianism i want to learn both sides and even other religions. i find the writting of Aleister Crowley interesting but the bible and the enchiridion of the pope leon the third are two books i read and they are also interesting for me all the point of view of differents faiths and religions
>>34878250True will. You know nothing about crowley.
>>34878246>work on farmAre you actually qualified to do that? Do you know how to drive a tractor or operate a combine harvester?
>>34878257I'd suggest starting with the foundational material first, then, so that you can see for yourself where the theosophists and occultists went astray. Something like Epictetus's Discourses followed by Plotinus's Enneads would give you some first hand knowledge, as opposed to relying on second hand information from people like Crowley.
>>34878241I think you should lay off the weed a bit. You also clearly haven’t actually read any of Crowley’s writing and just think the guys from the Great Schema look cool. To be fair, they do look very cool.
>>34878274no but i can learn or do the crops if someone need help
>>34878286>no but i can learnAnd how are you going to pay for the training? No farmer in the world is going to let you stay with him for weeks or months while he trains you up and not expect you to pay him for his time while doing that. You really haven't even begun to think this through.
>>34878284i read the keys of salomon the king and learn the history of the golden dawn. went to a free mason temple in my town for research and learn throught peoples from bookstores in my town. i'm not the best and i need to learn more but i'm serious
>>34878290working on farms for food or a bed is pretty common in my country a lot of teenagers/young adults do that when they are on a trip but if i cant do that i will try to get some money on the side for food before the trip and i will sleep under bridges
>>34878291So you skimmed one grimoire that was mostly written by S.L. MacGregor Mathers and read a Wikipedia entry about Thelema.You definitely need to learn more—you need to learn to be less gullible and quit the occult while you’re ahead. It’s a massive waste of time designed to make you lose your marbles. Stay far away from Freemasons.
>>34878299chill out dude the whole point of this is to learn more i will not even consider this if i already knew everything try to think sometime my only goal is to learn more throught peoples and books
>>34878302Alright, but if you listen to anything I have to say, stay away from Freemasons.Crowley is also a complete hack and a degenerate that won’t teach you much of value. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is just one of the many modern attempts to larp as a continuation of the Western Mystery Tradition, something that was itself a larp of carrying the torch previously held by Graeco-Egyptian magicians.The most worthwhile kernel of truth that you’ll find throughout occult writings is the notion of mind over matter and the power of intention.Ignore any method proposed to you that suggests you can get what you want strictly through ritual magic and without any actual effort on your part to change something.
>>34878311thanks i got the same advice from other peoples especially with the freemasons and the ritual magic thank you for helping me
>>34878316o7It can be fun to read about but absolutely should not be taken seriously.The Corpus Hermeticum and The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz are good reads.
>>34878325thanks i will read them
This nigga retarded
