So, I'm a little confused as to why the Thelemites haven't jumped all over the recent appearance of the Book of the Law in this story arc. I wonder if I'm supposed to confine OpAphid stuff to its own section, but now that it's all canon, I should be able to talk about it here, right? In the "religion" section?

For anybody who's managed to catch up on the Tachyon business, (and believe me, i doubt I understand it all!) one of the clues she left for her brother (but was inteccepted by forum members) was a copy of the book of the law! There was a bookmark in it that had a bunch of numbers written on it, and then page 39/40 (the first page of Chapter 3 in the text, not the holograph) was folded over.

A video about the solution to find the drop is here:

and the entry in the Pedia section is here:
http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Drop_2_%28where_IS_she_going%3F%29

where you can get a close up on the book mark.

I just thought it was interesting that the Creators made the big deal of having Gemma sayin, "it's not thelema" and then they officially included the OpAphid series, in which the Book of the Law is mentioned as well as a line somewhere that says, "Thelema is 1 of ???" I dont' think Thelema is an accident in all this.

I thought maybe the Thelemites could take a look at the bookmark and bring that perspective on the passages that they are choosing from the text. Any ideas?

Believe it or not, Thelema has it's own version of Wiki. It may hold some answers for you.

i don't need help looking for thelemic text (but thank you). thelemapedia is one of my favorites! i'm glad your spreadin the word.

i just saw all these thelemites getting involved and initiating discussion way back when it was nothing more than a picture of crowley on the wall. there was some interesting discussion (at least, i thought it was interesting)

now some people took a copy of Liber Al, marked a page and left a bookmark and then dropped it for some people to find in california.

when's the last time THAT happened??????????

i thought we could have fun analyzing it, i'm sorry if this is the wrong place for it. Should I take this conversation to thelemapedia???

What I meant to suggest is that you may find interpretations of some of the verses on Thelemapedia.

The person you'll want to talk to is tannhaus. Some people have had a difficult time conversing with him as he is very protective of his religious beliefs and how they are interpreted by others. I certainly don't blame him for that. However, I have found him to be very pleasant and helpful. We have corresponded privately and he has sent me some very informative information regarding the 'Illuminati' without my even requesting it. A truly helpful gentleman.

If I were you, I'd start with him.

Are there any Thelemites left on the board?

Seems like the creators are muddling up the who religious thing a bit. It's not Thelema, it's not a religion, oh, here's a Thelematic (is that a word? Sorry if I muck that up) text as a clue.

I sort of wish they'd stay on a track and move forward, not back and forth. Keep us guessing, but not rolling our eyes, so to speak.

Opaphid is definitely the organization after Bree and Daniel as evidenced by the video showing their room ransacked posted by OpAphid. OpAphid is also actively pursuing Tachyon..Sooo it follows that...


Also, about the Book of Law..people can take something and twist it into something that it was never meant to be. The Order of Denderah/OpAphid are obviously Willstealers. They usurp the will of others..something clearly against the "Book of Law". People can twist things to mean what it was never intended to in order to further their own ends.. I suggest this is what Denderah is engaged in.
Just read the book "Moonchild" by Aleister Crowley(Rhymes with Holy) and you will know that he believed there were at the least the possiblity of Black Lodges existing. I propose that Denderah is a Black Lodge that has perverted all the "beast" stood for...that being Free Will.

93 Soror,

Love that Babalon pic!


From my understandings the Creators HAVE recognized Tachyon as canon, which is part of my confusion regarding their formal statement that "THIS IS NOT THELEMA". Seems odd they would take the trouble to make a statement about it, and then offically accept a subplot that used a copy of the Book of the Law as a physical clue.

I just think it's very interesting, the energy this is all stirring up. Regardless of the actual intentions, I think it's a strange experiment to take a copy of Liber Al, mark certain pages, include a book mark and leave it somewhere for some people to find (after they've decoded a bunch of clues, of course).

I also wondered what other Thelemites thought of the passages that have been eluded to. Thought it might be fun discussion.

LITL,

No, the person using the OTO lamen was Dr. Immant.

As far as the meaning behind verses of the Book of the Law, you can find their real meaning here: http://www.hermetic.com/220/crowley-comments.html

But, I would doubt the opaphid/tachyon crew are actually dealing with the real meaning of the verses...rather trying to infer something by what they appear to say at face-value.

As far as the "Thelema is one of ?" or whatever, it sounds to me like they were trying to say "No, it ISN'T Thelema. We pulled from many sources...Thelema was only one of them".
