    What would you do?

    I already know I'm going to die, just not when or how. The time or circumstances of this inevitability are not likely to have much of an impact on how I live my life now, and I suppose the revelation of imminent death would be of even less consequence. As to whether there's an afterlife...

    Three Commandments of Set

    It's a good thing you got over those problems, for sure. My problem with labeling such as 'gods' or 'daemons' is it distracts us from acknowledging that they are consequences of actions we have taken. I have as much disdain for the guy in jail saying that the devil made him do it, as I do for...

    Left Hand Path's Solution To The Problem Of Suffering

    There are some on the LHP, who work to alleviate the suffering of others through coming to understand that suffering, and through utilising acts of compassion and education. The Arkte Element of the Temple of Set works towards reducing human inflicted suffering of animals. For an example of...

    Three Commandments of Set

    So how about those questions?

    Three Commandments of Set

    You aren't under scrutiny. What you posted, however is. Seriously, you identify as Setian and ask why another would question your posts and challenge your ideas? Have you become so comfy outside the Temple that you have forgotten that ideas are discussed and perspectives challenged as a...

    Three Commandments of Set

    Sure, I did make fun of that invocation by adding some Superman references. Even if I had not, my questions would still be the same. I'm not particularly interested in how anybody else has used the terms 'soldier' and 'pray' anywhere else. I'm addressing you, about what you have wrote. What...

    Interview

    Sara, I'm skeptical about your claims to have visited the public website for a previous assignment. Spending a reasonable amount of time on the public website would reveal to you quite quickly that the kind of questions you are looking for answers to are better posed to those of the RHP.

    Active listening becoming a dying art?

    Sethian Liberation Movement (SLM)

    The fact that Setian philosophy can be communicated without the oh-so-dark stuff really lends well to it's practical applicability. Certainly in the Temple we are quite appreciative of those who can speak of their experiences and uses of it plainly. It makes demonstrating an apprehension of...

    The Merging

    Why not?

    The Endarkenment

    Hmm, no.

    Temple of Set and the LHP

    Personally, I don't care about the opinions of anyone until their opinion causes problems for me. I stand nothing to gain from talking with people about something they have no experience of, particularly when they have no interest in the subject beyond their own misconceptions, except...

    NEED for formal Setian initiation

    Can it? How would you begin to measure difficulty between Degrees you have attained, let alone the rest you have no direct experience of?

    application question

    It would be a poor Setian indeed who discusses the availability of any other Initiate, ED or not. We have a respect for each other's privacy, and recognise we all have our own Initiation, and mundane matters to attend to on our own time. My advice would be to have some patience. Your...

    The Jehovah's Witnesses came for me

    The thing to remember is they come only to deliver a specific message, they're not interested in what you might have to say about that message, just that it gets delivered. So any attempts to have a discussion on the validity or appropriateness of it are pointless for both parties.

    Blasphemy rituals, burning bibles, black masses, ect

    It's lucky then that I am not of a disposition to trouble myself with other people's notions of weakness. They can think and do what they like with my dismissal of people I don't want to talk to, it won't worry me.

    Blasphemy rituals, burning bibles, black masses, ect

    In which case I'd be loathe to waste any time or energy on them at all.

    Blasphemy rituals, burning bibles, black masses, ect

    In my experience, it really has been as simple as saying "I do not share your views, and reserve my right to hold my own without hindrance or need to explain them", and leaving it at that and walking away. There's nothing there for them to argue about.

    Blasphemy rituals, burning bibles, black masses, ect

    I'm surprised it takes burning a bible for you to convey that message. Are they really that pushy that this was the best course of action you could think of to get them to leave you alone?

    Blasphemy rituals, burning bibles, black masses, ect

    I'll agree that you at least get what you pay for. Carry on as you will.
