What are the possible conditions for creation of these myths, stories, and fairy tales for Thelema?
Creation (One, which is None)
- 0 - The impersonal continuous, non-dual is established as the 'starting point' (Nuit)
- or 1 - The personal pantheistic omnipresent Self divides Itself (Horus)
- The entrance into existence, necessarily being the entrance into duality (Coagula)
- Though 'Godhead is devoured' by incarnation in Matter & Motion, it is the necessary formula of manifestation
- Creation sets the stage for the acts of life - that is, acts of 'love under will' by the multitude of stars, whom are the 'company of heaven'
- Creation as an act of joy, for potential love; not an Original Sin which requires redemption, or a Fall which requires rectifying
Virility
- Tales of triumph (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) and victory, especially over the Conflict of Dualities, i.e. the attainment of Unity
- They feel not - Showing of the inefficacy of weakness, sorrow, and despair; the showing forth of the natural virtues of things: strength, beauty, light, laughter, love, force, fire & freedom.
- A natural exposition of the formula of IAO: the triumph that comes only through penetrating down through the bloated bowels of night/hell to emerge in the New Dawn
- VIAOV as separation of Kings & slaves - V in VIAOV is "that which remains," and is enriched by the various Experiences of 'love under will;' the process naturally purges identification & attachment with the slaves (the 4 which perish), to relinquish Command to the rightful heir of the Self (the Quintessence, or 5th, which was, is, and will be);
- VIAOV as attainment - First V: Young Horus, IAO: process of attainment, Second V: Horus Crowned & Conquering, Parzival acquiring the Lance, the Fool recognizing his Royal Birthright
Absurdity of the dualistic mind
- Fairy tales are the natural medium of conveying unfamiliar circumstances to the mind
- Simply show interdependence of opposites/complements; our notions of light depend on those of dark, those of strength on weakness, those of order with chaos, etc.
The trance of Sorrow
- The archetypal (especially in modern times) predicament of recognizing the futility of life's endeavors - both of the innate suffering in all undertakings but also the relative infinitesimal nature of our accomplishments
- A privileged son/daughters experiences sorrow in seeing death (Buddha) or the futility of material endeavors (Crowley); this turns one's energies towards the source of the error, which is division... and union is obviously its reconciliation.
