I am having a difficult time reconciling the seemingly conflicting messages promoted by the Temple of Set and Mind War. On one hand, the Temple of Set promotes the shedding of lower, base emotions and promotes strengthening of individual will ... On the other hand, Mind War advocates for consiousness-altering strategies that would strip the individual of freedom of thought and the power of individual will ...

...to change existing, animalistic prejudices and antagonisms into intelligent, amicable cooperation. MWB does not dictate nor even suggest where this cooperation should lead. Once all problem-participants are working together, they will go through the steps to identify and establish the áristos.

Anyway I don't have a beef against Scientology; if people enjoy it, more power to them. That's pretty much my attitude towards conventional religions generally: As long as it's between consenting adults and doesn't scare the cats, go ahead. Recently I thought it would be pleasant to join the AMORC as a fluffybunny respite from all the Miskatonic University stuff of the Temple of Set, but it turned out to be terrified of me, and I had the honor to be personally blackballed by Grand Master Julie Scott herself. Shucks. Any Rosicrucians here, please tell Julie I promise not to scare anybody or invoke any scary gods in the San Jose Temple ... well, maybe once in awhile if things get too stuffy.

I'd like to join the Temple of Set or the Rosicrucians.
Any suggestions, or necessary qualifications?
Things that would bar membership?
Thank you for visiting us, Mr. Aquino!

Dear Michael,
Is it conceivable, and thus possible, that behind door number one (the last gate), that the OU and the SU have already combined in the form of a universal personhood, who steps through the door with an outstretched hand if not loving arms, for a big hug, and to greet you and with nothing but loving intent?
And what, if anything in terms of a reason or logic structure, could defend against such a thing (if concievable and thus possible) as a type of double-bind once fully inquired into?
Maybe the line between the OU and SU (which, as distinguished from the OU or the truth of life, must be at some level, self-deluded) and between the truth of life and our own isolate consciousness is blurred, at first, until it becomes clear that the very distinction itself is absurd since we cannot pinpoint with absolute precision just who and what we really are and what's really going on except within the larger context of the whole of the OU, placing us directly into the predicament or dilemma of absolute uncertainty as the foundation and basis of all self knowledge and self realization, ... unless, unless the principal has already been personified and has already stepped through door number one as our friend and brother within the context of the brotherhood of man where it may be said that context and framing is everything.
And how could any such thing, as a type of possibility proposition, not occur to us, when it does, in the form of immense HUMOR at the expense of all our prior absurdity and abject ignorance beginning with everything that we thought or presumed to already know, with certainty, in isolate consciousness, even though the domain of all true knowledge resided in the domain of an unknown unknown or what we didn't even know we didn't know, until we did?
Could it be there was a joke at our own expense that we failed to get, maklng of an otherwise humorous and fun-loving disposition, a much more serious one who will be at a loss for such humor when it arrives unexpectedly and unbidden?
Thanks again.
Best Regards,
NAM aka Bob

What’s your take on 911?
I was sitting in a dentist's chair getting my teeth whitened while the whole 9/11 thing was happening on the little television over my head. The moment I saw the two towers drop neatly into their footprints, one right after the other, I thought, "OK, demolition," and that was that as far as I was concerned. [Found out later that Building 7 did the same thing just for the hell of it.]
All of the tortured official explanations and Popular Science & Discovery Channel slickjobs didn't impress me any more than the Warren Commission soft-shoe a few decades earlier. State-of-the-art skyscrapers just don't do that because a plane hits the top, period.
What we're dealing with here is the phenomenon of popular belief systems. Every society has its own fetishes and taboos, and the USA is no different. Within a given society, a F or T is never defined as such; rather it's a reality which everyone takes for granted. It can be something like "only women wear dresses" [although here in San Francisco don't be too sure]. Indeed some taboos are so essential to the national consciousness that it's heresy to even acknowledge their existence or call them "taboos".
