Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
This means you are also "Author"... correct?
Ah, yes. Truth is I'm quite fond of this thread since it was from here that the whole idea of starting a forum for The Book of Aquarius came about. Otherwise I would have just released the book and kept silent, which was of course why I didn't admit to being the author in the opening post.
That would be nice. I think Frank's managed to scare people away from this thread with all his nonsense.

Sorry, I don't understand your question, you will need to rephrase it.

You want to find out how to get the non-believer to accept a narrative that allows people to believe in something like magic. Engender a state of suspension of disbelief.
Here, you are attacking the exact state of the suspension of disbelief.
On a bit of subject matter which are connected. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Are you testing the parameters of the suspension of disbelief in adults who are believers?

Frank here is not quite intelligent enough to figure out that he is actually helping more people find The Book of Aquarius, and his arguments are so pathetic that I feel it actually lends credibility to the book.
Frank,...While in your world you may believe that all the illegal and hurtful things you have done in your life make you a tough person, in the eyes of the sane it only makes you a coward who needs to prove to himself that he is man enough by attempting to impress others in a very twisted way, as you seem to think others would be impressed by your lies and stories of morally unacceptable behavior.
I can assure you that this is not the case. No one is impressed by your behavior.
At first I thought you were a child,
but it seems you are 50-60 years old or so.
It's not too late to make a turn-around, you would be surprised how much harm can be undone with a few genuine apologies and perhaps a bit of charity work.

I looked on the Book of Aquarius Forum and I must say, I believe there is a problem with the method outlined.
The pictures taken indicate that certain members are allowing their Great Work to be exposed to sunlight.
I was under the impression that sunlight must never reach the Stone while it is being processed. Maybe this is why it is taking 3-4 years, instead of the 1 year process.
This "only moonlight" approach makes sense because it is not only backed by alchemical texts, but by personal experience. Any musician, artist, or other Creator will tell you that energy flows best at night. This is probably due to some kind of symbiotic relationship that Earth has with its moon, which would be reflected in the Stone because it is harnessing energy on this planet.
Have you heard/read similar?

Are there other people who are getting this upset or is this really a personal issue? I haven't read the whole thread yet but I think I have to now, if the last pages are any indication of the entertainment value here I better get some munchies..
Cheers mates
