Hi there,
I am, first off, wondering who here knows about the philosophy / religion of Thelema, developed mainly by Aleister Crowley in the 20th century. The reason I ask is the more I study it, the more I realize it is almost a perfect balance between Eastern and Western 'religious' philosophies. I am curious if anyone else has realized this, especially followers of Hinduism, Buddhism, and / or Taoism. I follow the philosophy, and at a younger age viewed it as a very western path. But as I've matured and learned, I have began to identify more with Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism than I do the Western "spiritual" paths that identify with Thelema. Just wondering who else has noticed this and could compare things from Thelema to Eastern Philosophy.
