If you are aware of HIM, and have strong opinions about thelemites and "psuedo-hermeticists how are you not aware of what you are looking for?

EVOLA
TOMBERG
ECKHART

One of them should do it for you.

You aren’t ready. There’s a reason Jews study til they’re 40 before they can read the Kabbalah.

Are there true vestiges of "panentheism" in the writings of the Fathers?

>>14618932
Yeah, look into Palamism.

>>14618734
read the Holy Bible, anon. there is more than enough mystery for you there if you bothered to look.

>>14618734
Rudolf Steiner

>>14618734
Theosophy.

>>14619013
>>14619004
samefag, and both very mistaken. go put on your eurythmy shoes and take a walk, dum dum.

>>14618961
Can explicit exactly what in Palamism could be said to fit the conception? Does the energies participate in creation?

>asks /x/
>revealed to be clueless
>asks /lit/

>>14619020
No, not samefag. As far as I know Steiner didn't even approve of theosophy.

>>14619022
Yes, creation emerges from the energies

>>14619022
>>14619051
So it's basically the esoteric Islamic notion that "we are His names." That's, his attributes.

Kupie, eyenaov

>>14619067
No, it implies transcendental realism rather than monism.

>>14619203
What's the difference?

>confusing anthroposophy with theosophy

>>14619205
Multiplicity is preserved and affirmed rather than collapsed and denied

Come join so we can chill and maybe sometimes talk about esoterica

>>14619233
That's laughable.
>In my view the definition of truth is this: not to have a mistaken apprehension of Being (tes tou ontos katanoeseos). Falsehood is a kind of impression (phantasia) which arises in the understanding about nonbeing: as though what does not exist does, in fact, exist. But truth is the sure apprehension of real Being. So, whoever applies himself in quietness to higher philosophical matters over a long period of time will barely apprehend what true Being is, that is, what possesses existence in its own nature, and what nonbeing is, that is, what is existence only in appearance (en toi dokein), with no self-subsisting nature (anypostaton echon oph’ heautou ten physin). It seems to me that at the time the great Moses was instructed in the theophany he came to know that none of those things which are apprehended by sense perception (te tei aisthesei katalambanetai) and contemplated by the understanding really subsists (hyphesteke), but that the transcendent essence and cause of the universe, on which everything depends, alone subsists.

All that proves is that theophanies are the result of uncreated energies, and has little relevance to our question of created energies.

Ah, sorry, I forgot the word. What we are looking for is the logoi.

For magic proper, you'll want to study the Grimoire tradition - your approach to these is very much dependent on the school of thought you're following since they contain no theoretical background. These are the essentials;

THIS so much. If someone is so chicken shit that they are afraid to get magic confused with the vulger sense they should not even be in the subject to begin with.

The most important for beginners would be the Greeks, Bible/Christianity and Hermeticism.

However it is almost necessary to rely on certain modern figures both philosophical and esoteric. Might I suggest, first(keep in mind the clumsy translation):

http://users.belgacom.net/wagnerlibrary/prose/wlpr0126.htm

I advocated this first, along with Plato, Christianity and Hermeticism, because of how dangerous the occult can be for beginners. Take yesterday for example I awoke to a death struggle with a wizard of sorts.

So first, you must find the self negating spirit first. For that too, can also be an affirmation, rather than the easy route of ego. Read the Imitation of Christ also.

Can someone explain to me how Crowley actually thought that he was closer to left hand path than right?

>>14619942
True esotericism is the antithesis of occultism.

>>14619970
Perhaps it never truly aligned with it, but you would ever deny all value in the occult?

Satanism is autistic, but in the "better" branches of it, there is an odd value. And I say that as a Christian. Still, occult =/= satanic.
