    Practical Magick?

    Heheh, no doubt. I see your point and the emphasis on discipline in Thelema is a good example. Later, depending on how things go, you may find that autonomy becomes as vital as discipline and tenacity. Oh, that's not all he did but he definitely did that.

    "Let's pretend" religions?

    Er, well yeh, but what do you do after unwinding it all, UV? Despite its power the primal subconscious mind doesn't have a clue what's really going on. It responds like a dumb machine to what it is shown. Magick is all about appearances because of that but seeing beyond appearances isn't the...

    Where are the responsible Republicans?

    Admittedly my perception of Krugman is based upon what he doesn't talk about, not what he does. His track record of forecasting might be good. I haven't noticed because when his writings come up for discussion, and they always tend to, I find myself frustrated that he consistently misses the big...

    Where are the responsible Republicans?

    :) SS this is not good enough for me! I need Krugman to speak up and be correct about more important things than listed in that article. Krugman wrote in April 2008, "One of the defining features of the last 8 years or so has been the way ideas go from crazy stuff that only DFHs believe to...

    Where are the responsible Republicans?

    Sunstone, that's not news to me or you. Anyone with half a brain and a familiarity with Republican tactics would expect as much, and anyone to the left of the political US middle-ground feels the Democrats play it far too safe to accomplish as much as they could. This is what I mean by his...

    Where are the responsible Republicans?

    A damn fine economist...*sigh* I feel the opposite. His political writing is at least well written enough for me to read despite its predicable regurgitation of responses to mainstream talking points but on his supposedly specialist subject, the US economy, he manages to avoid addressing the...

    Practical Magick?

    Sol_mas modern magick encompasses everything from the most infantile love-potions to the most profound relationships with the transcendent. As with most things you'll find that the lowest common denominator is best served and it becomes increasingly hard to find relevant material as you become...

    Seeking Understanding...

    Dutchess19 you should ask a moderator to move this topic to the main Religious Debates or Christian section. Its a bit specialised for Comparative Religion since most people will be expecting a rather wide cross-comparison of religious beliefs & practices discussed here. What you're asking is...

    "Let's pretend" religions?

    Oh! I wish this and it's implications were more widely understood! Its not necessary to believe; just suspend belief while expressing your intent in ritual and the subconscious (or whatever is responding) will do its thing. In terms of my rational mind I'm an atheist who doesn't believe in...

    Glen Beck is a genius, honestly.

    Darn. Frubalage spread preventing me from frubaling you again Neo-Logic. I think you're spot on.

    Operation Iraqi Freedom is over....

    Keep trying to....what? Did you actually read the article you linked to before claiming it supported your beliefs? Perhaps you should give it another go. I don't think anyone needs Obama to fool you if you do such a good job of it yourself.

    Fidel Castro takes blame for persecution of Cuban gays

    Ah, well my impression came from an article in the Canadian Globe and Mail.

    The Myth of Biofuels: Exhibit A

    Realistically addressing the energy & environment crises consists of slowing down a catastrophic landslide of factors that have been collectively gaining momentum for many decades and still are massively gaining momentum. Its likely that a new & very prolonged kind of dark age will have to be...

    Fidel Castro takes blame for persecution of Cuban gays

    I wouldn't like to be a transvestite in Cuba either, given what I've read. Nevertheless, for Castro to call persecution of gays "a great injustice" and claim personal responsibility for exactly that in the 1960s is an important step towards a more liberal society and sends a clear signal that...

    Thoughts on the Science Delusion!

    I would like to see Hamza Yusuf in an actual live debate with Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins. I'm guessing either one of them would expose him as even more of a fool than he is in that video. This guy is supposedly one of the West's most influential Muslim scholars? He's a disgrace. Ugh.
