Nice passage from Treasurehouse.
>Thelema today
OTO dues paying is down.
Rampant battles in the lineage wars.
Duplexity.
Stagnation.
The Eternal Guntherite.
Copyright trolling.
Save yourself the headache and read the Kowal Typescript and other unpublished documents from the Yorke Microfilms of the Warburg Collection over in the /omg/ library link.

There are at least a handful of non-affiliated Thelemites, or those who are carrying on the Work in spite of all else, though. There is hope, yet.

Ah yes, berry berry true. Sorry if I seemed a bit cross. Someone may or may not have pissed in my cornflakes. Still going to the local Gnostic Mass, though (3 fucking hour drive). Considering hosting the Mass at my own place. It wouldn't be 'official' or sanctioned, but it would be convenient, subversive, and an excellent meeting place for alt-Thelemites such as we see in those threads.
