Do I talk too much about myself? About my magick?
People shouldn’t interfere with or influence each other! New people, being exposed to dangerous ideas, can sometimes take them, run with them, and come to stupid conclusions! So don’t talk too much!

Pfft.

If you ask Orthodox Jews and Muslims why they don’t allow men and women to pray together, they will tell you that the women, particularly, will distract the men with sexual thoughts. Aleister Crowley, our Most Holy Prophet, thought that was weakness. He thought that the men who would be so distracted were not fit to accomplish the communion intended, and this attempt to artificially level the playing field of concentration would create infirmity. Everyone doesn’t deserve attainment. If someone ends up reading magical books like pornography, and never practicing magick, fine! They’re losers who were never meant to practice in the first place. If someone is meant to do this, no force on earth can stop them. If someone is not meant to do this, no force on earth can make them. If a sincere Muslim is at prayer, it doesn’t matter whose ass is in the air in front of him, his mind is on Allah. If the man is not sincere, it doesn’t matter if he’s alone at the dome of the rock, Allah will not hear him.

‘ya feel me?

Why is it do you think, that AC originally wanted OTO members segregated by sex until they reached the V*?

Couldn't guess because its not something I'm informed about, but if you look at his description of Niyama in the Yoga Lectures and part I of book IV, I think my point holds up.

Unless you have some counter argument?

Oh I don't disagree with your points at all, and I found myself thinking along the lines of the below comment from shepjoe when I read it. I was just curious what you thought of it. I will see if I can dig up where I read that. Maybe there is more info in context -- it's been a while.

It's true that the finer points of OTO stuff, outside of the Blue Equinox, are not something I'm very familliar with. Although they ARE something I'd like to know more about!
