<br />
:'''Different views of Thelema'''<br />
<br />
:'''Not all adherents of Thelema consider it a religion or subscribe to the philosophy of True Will as outlined in Aleister Crowley's writings.

===Ash's solution===<br />
<br />
I believe this statement is subtractive, rather than additive, and provides no substantive information from the knowedge base. However, I agree with the principle of including alternative points of view, which is why I added the link to the new article, [[Alternative Views of Thelema]]. I think the paragraph in Thelema article should be more generic, such as:<br />
<br />
:'''Thelema is many things to many people, and no single definition can encapsulate it for every Thelemite. It can be experienced and manifested as (but not limited to) religion, philosophy, a set of practices, a system of magick, ethical guidelines, lifestyle, culture, or political viewpoint. Even the requirements for being a Thelemite are not clear, and are often defined by the individual herself. There are also Thelemic movements that have serious differences in opinion from Aleister Crowley and his interpretations of Liber Legis. '''<br />
<br />
:'''For a more complete review on these differences, see [[Alternative Views of Thelema]].'''<br />
<br />
What do you think?<br />
<br />
===Thiebes' solution===<br />
<br />
Since Crowley himself has written some things which would appear to support the nonreligious view of Thelema, and since I myself know personally several adherents to this view, it seems obvious to me that this view should be included, along with the various ways that people reconcile (or reduce) Crowley's apparent self-contradiction on the topic.<br />
<br />
I notice there is an entry for "Thelema and Religion." This seems to be the most appropriate place, to me, to discuss the question of whether Thelema is or is not a religion. Indeed, that is where quotes from Crowley ''supporting'' the religious view are found (rather than in the article on Thelema).<br />
<br />
Ash, your paragraph beginning with "Thelema is many things to many people" minimizes the important fact that Crowley himself wrote contradictory things on the question of whether Thelema is a religion. I find it a rather condescending approach.<br />
<br />
My solution is as follows. I don't actually have time to write the final text as I'm imagining it, but basically add a couple of sentences in the article on "Thelema" about this controversy. Refer to the "Thelema and Religion" article. Then move the "Different views" paragraph to the latter article, add quotes from Crowley to support the position (as in MWT), and describe the relationship of Thelema to Religion as one which draws continued controversy. Finally remove the "Alternative views" article since the very title suggests that the views are not to be found in the literature.<br />
<br />
=== Isomeme's revision to Ash's solution ===<br />
<br />
I think the key problem is that all religion (or mysticism, or whatever label you choose) is in the end subjective, so to say that Thelema is a matter of interpretation and opinion verges on tautology. Here's my proposed rewrite of Ash's first paragraph above:<br />
<br />
:'''Thelema, like any religious or mystical system, is in the end a matter of personal experience. There is no objective standard to determine who is or is not a Thelemite, nor what beliefs, practices, interpretations, or goals are compatible or incompatible with Thelema. Unlike some religious systems, there is no single authority which claims jurisdiction over Thelemic orthodoxy, leaving the field open to a variety of organizations, movements, and individuals, each approaching Thelema differently.'''<br />
<br />
:'''The only seemingly unequivocal instruction Thelema provides in this matter is this line from the Class A Comment on Liber AL: "All questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal to my writings, each for himself."'''<br />
<br />
::I think this is a very good improvement on my paragraph. You got closer to what I was trying to say. [[User:Ash|Fr. Ash]]<br />
<br />
Thiebes, I'm not sure I follow your argument re "Alternate Views". These alternatives are very much to be found in "the literature", taking that to mean the work of modern self-identified Thelemites. Can you clarify, please?<br />
<br />
[[User:Isomeme|Isomeme]]<br />
<br />
:The "Alternative Views" (such as the one that Thelema is not a religion) are also found ''in Crowley'' and calling them "Alternative" gives the impression that they are not. --[[User:Thiebes|Thiebes]] 14:44, 26 Feb 2005 (CST)<br />
<br />
::"Alternative" in no way should mean "not in the literature." This should be backed up by editors using Crowley (and others, hopefully) to support their entries. Further, this article shouldn't focus only on the "religion-ness" of Thelema, and should also present ideas on culture, ethics, politics, etc. I think the article "Thelema and Religion" should stick to how Thelema ''does'' manifest as a religion, rather than being a page for debate on religion. [[User:Ash|Fr. Ash]]<br />
<br />
::: But I think "Alternative" implies not mainstream (and that it's a minority view) and I'm not sure that's the case. <br />
<br />
::::Would you be more comfortable if the article were called "Views on Thelema"? Do you have any other suggestions? It's not too late to rename the article. [[User:Ash|Fr. Ash]]<br />
<br />
:::That said, I like Isomeme's proposal. [[User:z111|z111]]<br />

I edited the '''Hrumachis''' summary, because it reflected an inaccurate reading of Liber AL. Hrumachis ''is'' RHK, who will "arise" (i.e. vacate the Throne of the Aeon) at the future Equinox of the Gods. "The double-wanded one" is Thmaist (Maat), who is '''not''' Hrumachis. But see how quickly this sort of thing gets pestilential? <br />
<br />
:Thanks for the technical corrections. [[User:Ash|Fr. Ash]]<br />
<br />
:I'm not sure this is correct. Doesn't Hru-machis mean "Horus of the Star" while RHK means "Horus of the Two Horizons"? I have always thought that they are two different forms of Horus. What you say about ''arise'' is ''attractive'', but not convincing unless there is something that shows that the Egyptians considered the two identical. Neither the old nor new comment mentions this identity... [[User:Aleph|Aleph]]<br />
<br />
::"Two different forms of Horus" is fine. I wasn't trying to establish any more precise equivalence than that. In the Extenuation ("New Comment," so-called by Regardie), Crowley takes a somewhat different tack, vaguely identifiying Hrumachis with "any new course of events." Still it was expressly as "Harmachis" (among others) that Crowley invoked Horus--who then revealed himself as the Lord of the Aeon--in the Cairo working; see the Great Invocation, section Beta II Beth.<br />
::Also, I am in turn skeptical of your implied assertion that Egyptological data are final arbiters regarding the "personalities" (as the present article has it) who wear their names and attributes in Thelemic literature and doctrine.--[[User:Paradoxosalpha|Paradoxosalpha]] 21:46, 24 Feb 2005 (CST) <br />
<br />
Also, how did '''Chaos''' get into this list? Where does that name appear in Liber Legis? --[[User:Paradoxosalpha|Paradoxosalpha]] 16:36, 22 Feb 2005 (CST)<br />
<br />
:RIght you are. However, the list was intended to reflect "dieties" that are promenant in Thelema, not just Liber AL. Perhaps the header should change to include all Thelemic holy books? [[User:Ash|Fr. Ash]]<br />
::I certainly prefer the present "personalities" to "deities," in terms of avoiding metaphysical recklessness. As it stands, every entry on the list can be found in Liber Legis ''except'' for Chaos. If you open it up to all the Holy Books, it's a real can of worms: Adonai from Liber LXV? Iacchus and Al A'ain the Priest from Liber VII? All 44 spirits from CCXXXII?--[[User:Paradoxosalpha|Paradoxosalpha]] 21:46, 24 Feb 2005 (CST)<br />
<br />
While "deities" is problematic as a term, I'm not convinced that "personalities" as a designator really works either - its absence in the literature doesn't lend a lot of support for its use. Personally, I think the differentiations are important and should be delineated where possible. For example: "Archangels" could include Ithuriel, as "Genii" could include Malkunofat from Liber 231. <br />

== Different Views of Thelema ==<br />
<br />
It's silly to make a big deal out of the insistence of some professed Thelemites that Thelema is not a religion. This issue does not pertain specifically to Thelema, but rather to '''religion''' generally. It is very common (as Google will show) to find Christians who say that Christianity is not a religion ("It's a personal relationship with Jesus!"), Muslims who say that Islam is not a religion ("It's a way of life!"), Jews who say that Judaism is not religion ("It's a heritage!"), etc. etc. In virtually all cases, this rhetorical trope appears to be an attempt to priviledge the "non-religion" of the adherent above all of the other mere religions. As an aspiring source of "academic" information on Thelema, Thelemapedia shouldn't capitulate to such gambits. If we must take note of them, we should properly contextualize them as a feature of ''religious discourse'' that transcends creed and tradition. [http://www.islamfortoday.com/islamisareligion.htm Here] is a fairly articulate essay on this topic from the perpective of an American convert to Islam.--[[User:Paradoxosalpha|Paradoxosalpha]] 22:14, 24 Feb 2005 (CST)<br />
<br />
:You're right. It's silly to make such a big deal out if it as you are doing. Also, by implying that the inclusion of a single paragraph is silly, you are dismissing the views of actual groups of people and their beliefs, and implying that their beliefs are silly. Is this an attempt to marginalize a subset of Thelemites? Is the front page claim of Thelemapedia, "Everyone from every corner of the Thelemic universe is welcome to add knowledge to the encyclopedia by becoming an editor," simply a falsehood, a gambit to attract more editors for this Wiki, perhaps with the intent to quietly edit out non-orthodox views at a later date when those editors are no longer actively paying attention?

<div>The Egyptian God of Silence. Harpocrates is Greek for the Egyptian Hoor (or Heru) -paar (or par/pa) -kraat (or kraath) and means "Horus the Child."<br />
<br />
Hoor-paar-kraat is the silent god whose minister, Aiwass, communicated ''The Book of the Law'' to the Prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu. In the New Comment, Harpocrates, the "Babe in the Egg of Blue", is described as not only the God of Silence, but as the Higher Self, the Holy Guardian Angel. "The connexion is with the symbolism of the Dwarf in Mythology" (see Besz)and "the Serpent with the Lion's Head." "He contains everything in Himself, but is unmanifested." In Columns XIX ('Selection of Egyptian Gods') and XX('Complete Practical Attribution of Egyptian Gods'), Harpocrates/ Heru-pa-Kraath are attributed to 0 or the "unmanifest". <br />
<br />
As One, Harpocrates is the first letter in the 'magical alphabet' (hebrew), Aleph, and represents:<br />
<br />
-the Male Principle <br />
<br />
-the First Cause<br />
<br />
-the free breath of Life <br />
<br />
As 0, Harpocrates represents "the female Principle, the fertile Mother. (An old name for the card is Mat, from the Italian 'Matto', fool, but earlier also from Maut, the Egyptian Vulture-Mother-Goddess). Fertile, for the 'Egg of Blue' is the Uterus, and in the Macrocosm the Body of Nuith, and it contains the Unborn Babe, helpless yet protected and nourished against the crocodiles and tigers shown on the card, just as the womb is sealed during gestation. He sits on a lotus, the yoni, which floats on the 'Nile', the amniotic fluid".<br />
<br />
Additonally, the element of air associated to Aleph connects Harpocrates with Zeus Arrhenothelus - Zeus being the "lord of air." "As Air we find the "Wandering Fool" pure wanton Breath, yet creative. Wind was supposed of old to impregnate the Vulture, which therefore was chosen to symbolize the Mother-Goddess." In Christian symbollism, Harpocrates is further identified as air with the "Holy Ghost" - "the agency of a Spirit -- Spiritus, breath, or air -- in the shape of a dove."<br />
<br />
Furthermore, Harpocrates is identified with Horus,who will "avenge his father Osiris". Harpocrates is the passive and concealed "form twin" in contrast to the active and conquering Ra-Hoor-Khuit. As "the Babe God", Harpocrates is also identified with "the New Aeon about to be born."; from the Class A text,''Liber CCCLXX'', Harpocrates is "hidden within him" (i.e. Horus). Contrastly, the Tarot card, Atu XX, the AEon ,shows Ra-Hoor-Khuit as being within a crowned Harpocrates. In Atu XVI, Harpocrates is identified as one of two Ayin's (eyes) that are emitted from the Tower(the other being his twin brother). <br />
<br />
The Silence of Harpocrates is the "Act of Adoration; not the dumb callousness of heaven toward man, but the supreme ritual, the Silence of supreme Orgasm, the stilling of all Voices in the perfect rapture."<br />
<br />
[[Aleister Crowley]] has described the image of Harpocrates as a young boy or babe, pink in color, his right forefinger to his lips, and standing on two crocodiles. <br />
<br />
In ceremonial Magick, the Sign of Harpocrates consists of putting the right forefinger to the lips and pertains to the 0=0, Probationer Grade (which is typically paired with the Sign of Horus) of the [[A.'.A.'.]](see the "The Silent Watcher" in ''The Equinox'' Vol. I No. I). In ''Liber Aleph'', Chpt. 70, it is written to "Neglect not...the Assumption of the Form of Hoor-pa-Kraat." This Sign is also described in ''Liber O'', Part III, 3-6, "The Vibration of God-names", and occurs in ''Liber XXV'', ''Liber XLIV'', ''Liber CC'', and ''Liber DCLXXI.'' In chpt. II of ''Book IV'' part III, the Sign of Harpocrates is utilized as a "Reciprocating Formula" in concert with the formula of Tetragrammaton (consisting of the two He's). Likewise, in ''Eight Lectures on Yoga'', Harpocrates is identified with He final and the twin to Vau (R.H.K.). <br />
<br />
In the Neophyte hall of the old [[Golden Dawn]] Neophyte Grade, Harpocrates is considered the "younger brother of Horus" and his station is in the path of Samech "between the place of Thmaist and that of the Evil Triad".</div>Aishmlchmhhttps://thelemapedia.org/index.php?title=Harpocrates&diff=533Harpocrates2004-09-29T07:24:56Z<p>Aishmlchmh: </p>

Fertile, for the 'Egg of Blue' is the Uterus, and in the Macrocosm the Body of Nuith, and it contains the Unborn Babe, helpless yet protected and nourished against the crocodiles and tigers shown on the card, just as the womb is sealed during gestation. He sits on a lotus, the yoni, which floats on the 'Nile', the amniotic fluid".<br />
<br />
Additonally, the element of air associated to Aleph connects Harpocrates with Zeus Arrhenothelus - Zeus being the "lord of air." "As Air we find the "Wandering Fool" pure wanton Breath, yet creative. Wind was supposed of old to impregnate the Vulture, which therefore was chosen to symbolize the Mother-Goddess." In Christian symbollism, Harpocrates is further identified as air with the "Holy Ghost" - "the agency of a Spirit -- Spiritus, breath, or air -- in the shape of a dove."<br />
<br />
Furthermore, Harpocrates is identified with Horus,who will "avenge his father Osiris". Harpocrates is the passive and concealed "form twin" in contrast to the active and conquering Ra-Hoor-Khuit. As "the Babe God", Harpocrates is also identified with "the New Aeon about to be born."; from the Class A text,''Liber CCCLXX'', Harpocrates is "hidden within him" (i.e. Horus). Contrastly, the Tarot card, Atu XX, the AEon ,shows Ra-Hoor-Khuit as being within a crowned Harpocrates. In Atu XVI, Harpocrates is identified as one of two Ayin's (eyes) that are emitted from the Tower(the other being his twin brother). <br />
<br />
The Silence of Harpocrates is the "Act of Adoration; not the dumb callousness of heaven toward man, but the supreme ritual, the Silence of supreme Orgasm, the stilling of all Voices in the perfect rapture."<br />
<br />
[[Aleister Crowley]] has described the image of Harpocrates as a young boy or babe, pink in color, his right forefinger to his lips, and standing on two crocodiles. <br />
<br />
In ritual, the Sign of Harpocrates consists of putting the right forefinger to the lips and pertains to the 0=0, Probationer Grade (which is typically paired with the Sign of Horus) of the [[A.'.A.'.]](see the "The Silent Watcher" in ''The Equinox'' Vol. I No. I). In ''Liber Aleph'', Chpt. 70, it is written to "Neglect not...the Assumption of the Form of Hoor-pa-Kraat." This Sign is also described in ''Liber O'', Part III, 3-6, "The Vibration of God-names", and occurs in ''Liber XXV'', ''Liber XLIV'', ''Liber CC'', and ''Liber DCLXXI.'' <br />
<br />
In the Neophyte hall of the old [[Golden Dawn]] Neophyte Grade, Harpocrates is considered the "younger brother of Horus" and his station is in the path of Samech "between the place of Thmaist and that of the Evil Triad".</div>Aishmlchmhhttps://thelemapedia.org/index.php?title=Harpocrates&diff=510Harpocrates2004-09-29T07:16:45Z<p>Aishmlchmh: </p>

Hoor-paar-kraat is the silent god whose minister, Aiwass, communicated ''The Book of the Law'' to the prophet 666.

In Columns XIX ('Selection of Egyptian Gods') and XX('Complete Practical Attribution of Egyptian Gods'), Harpocrates/ Heru-pa-Kraath are attributed to 0 or the "unmanifest". <br />

<div>CHAOS is described as the "All-Father", "One Father of Life","the Dyad", and the "Father of thought". The Mystery of Chaos also includes "at once the Formula of the Feminine Trinity." <br />
On the Tree of Life, Chaos is identified with the Sephira Chokmah or Wisdom (whose traditional title is 'Ab', 'Abba' or Father), and is in turn attributed to the 'part of the soul' called Chiah (the "Life-force"), and Yod (seed) of Tetragrammaton; all of these associations are attributed to the element of fire. <br />
<br />
Within the Thelemic Canon, Chaos is oftentimes paired or passionately united with either Babalon (Binah, Neschamah,Aima, Isis, "Mater" and He of Tetragrammaton) through the path of Love (Daleth; see the magick circle), or with the "purified" Virgin Daughter of Babalon (Earth, Malkuth, Nephesch, Persephone, "Filiae" and He final of Tetragrammaton; see ''The Vision and the Voice'',4th AEthyr)- who awakens "the eld of the all-Father". This uniting of the "Great Father" with the Mother and Daughter completes the Christian conception described in ''An Essay Upon Number.'' part II. In Chpt. 11 of ''The Book of Lies'' and ''the Vision and the Voice'' the unity of Chaos and Babalon as the Supernal Triad is "insisted upon." As a Tetragrammaton or four-fold word, Chaos "is equal to her seven-fold word" by gematria ((Kaph + Ayin + Vau + Samech = 156) which suggests the 4=7 and 7=4 Grades of the A.'.A.'. Furthermore, the Mystery of Chaos is "beyond the comprehension of any but Masters of the Temple" (a Grade in the A.'.A.'. associated to Babalon). <br />
<br />
Chaos is also "thought of""by men" as the Beast. <br />
<br />
As both the "Word" or "Logos" of the Gnostics, and the Wisdom of the Kabbalists, Chaos pertains specifically to the 9=2 Grade of Magus (the 11th progressive Grade in the A.'.A.'.), which it conceals.<br />
<br />
In a note to ''The Abul-diz Working'', Chaos is identified with Aleph (large=1000) Tau (Ath or Essence; "the") in Hebrew with a numeration of 1400 ("Tria Capita" or "the Three Heads" - TLT RYShYN); with a regular aleph, 401 (ARR - "cursing"). In ''An Essay Upon Number'', A.C. draws a connection between ATh and the Word Azoth - "the sum and essence of all, conceived as One". Furthermore, Chaos is identified as "the Unknown God of Chokmah in Liber 418." In Greek (applying isopsephy) Chaos adds to 871, which is identical with the words "Pain, Sorrow," "Secret, dark", Web; cloak", "To purify", and "Against one's will." <br />
<br />
The primary source concerning Chaos within the Thelemic canon is ''The Vision and the Voice''. Chaos is also mentioned in the Class A documents ''Liber I'' and ''Liber CLVI''. Rituals that include Chaos are the first version of ''Liber XXV'' ( from ''The Book of Lies''), and ''Liber XV''. <br />
<br />
From the ''Escalier des sages'' (1689 e.v.) Chaos as an alchemical formula has the following Notariqon: Caliditas Humiditas Alger Occulta Siuitas.<br />
<br />
In Greek Mythology, Chaos was perceived as the void from which all things sprang or a mass of unordered things. Chaos existed from the beginning alongside Nyx (Night), Erberus and Tartarus. Gaia, Tartarus and Eros were sometimes considered progeny of Chaos.<br />
<br />
From'' The Vision and the Voice'', 4th AEthyr:<br />
<br />
"This is the meaning of that passage; they are attempts to interpret Chaos, but Chaos is Peace...Blackness, blackness intolerable, before the beginning of the light. This is the first verse of Genesis.

In ''An Essay Upon Number'', A.C. draws a connection between ATh and the Word Azoth - "the sum and essence of all, conceived as One". Furthermore, Chaos is identified as "the Unknown God of Chokmah in Liber 418." In Greek (applying isopsephy) Chaos adds to 871, which is identical with the words "Pain, Sorrow," "Secret, dark", Web; cloak", "To purify", and "Against one's will." <br />
<br />
From the ''Escalier des sages'' (1689 e.v.) Chaos as an alchemical formula has the following Notariqon: Caliditas Humiditas Alger Occulta Siuitas<br />
<br />
In Greek Mythology, Chaos was perceived as the void from which all things sprang or a mass of unordered things. Chaos existed from the beginning alongside Nyx (Night), Erberus and Tartarus. Gaia, Tartarus and Eros were sometimes considered progeny of Chaos.<br />

"This is the menaing of that passage; they are attempts to interpret Chaos, but Chaos is Peace...Blackness, blackness intolerable, before the beginning of the light.

In ritual, the Sign of Harpocrates (which is typically paired with the sign of Horus) consists of putting the right forefinger to the lips and pertains to the 0=0, Probationer Grade of the [[A.'.A.'.]]. In the Neophyte hall of the old [[Golden Dawn]] Neophyte Grade, Harpocrates is considered the the "younger brother of Horus" and his station is in the path of Samech "between the place of Thmaist and that of the Evil Triad".</div>Aishmlchmhhttps://thelemapedia.org/index.php?title=Harpocrates&diff=480Harpocrates2004-09-28T13:22:47Z<p>Aishmlchmh: </p>

<div>CHAOS is described as the "All-Father", "One Father of Life","the Dyad", and the "Father of thought". The Mystery of Chaos also includes "at once the Formula of the Feminine Trinity." <br />
On the Tree of Life, Chaos is identified with the Sephira Chokmah or Wisdom (whose traditional title is 'Ab' or Father), and is in turn associated to the 'part of the soul' called Chiah (the "Life-force"), and Yod (seed) of Tetragrammaton; all of which partake of the element of fire. <br />
<br />
Within the Thelemic Canon, Chaos is oftentimes paired or passionately united with either Babalon (Binah, Neschamah,Aima, Isis, and He of Tetragrammaton,"Pater et Mater") through the path of Love (Daleth; see the magick circle), or with the "purified" Virgin Daughter of Babalon (Earth, Malkuth, Nephesch, Persephone, He final of Tetragrammaton, "Filiae et Pater"; see ''The Vision and the Voice'',4th AEthyr)- who awakens "the eld of the all-Father". This uniting of the "Great Father" with the Mother and Daughter completes the Christian conception described in ''An Essay Upon Number.'' part II. In Chpt. 11 of ''The Book of Lies'' and ''the Vision and the Voice'' the unity of Chaos and Babalon as the Supernal Triad is "insisted upon." As a Tetragrammaton or four-fold word, Chaos "is equal to her seven-fold word" by gematria ((Kaph + Ayin + Vau + Samech = 156) which suggests the 4=7 and 7=4 Grades of the A.'.A.'. Furthermore, the Mystery of Chaos is "beyond the comprehension of any but Masters of the Temple" (the particular Grade associated to Babalon). <br />

<div>Chaos is described as the "All-Father", "One Father of Life" and "the Dyad", the "Father of thought". On the Tree of Life, Chaos is associated with the Sephira Chokmah or Wisdom (whose traditional title is Ab or Father), and in turn to the part of the soul called Chiah (the "Life-force"), and Yod (seed) of Tetragrammaton. These attributions partake uniformly in the element of fire. Additionally, Chaos is sometimes paired with either Babalon (Binah, Neschamah,Aima, Isis, and He of Tetragrammaton,"Pater et Mater") through the path of Love (Daleth; see the magick circle), or with the Virgin Daughter of Babalon (Earth, Malkuth, Nephesch, Persephone, He final of Tetragrammaton, "Filiae et Pater"; see ''The Vision and the Voice'',4th AEthyr)- "awakening the eld of the all-Father". This uniting of the "Great Father" with the Mother and Daughter completes the Christian conception described in ''An Essay Upon Number.'' part II. In Chpt. 11 of ''The Book of Lies'' and ''the Vision and the Voice'' the unity of Chaos and Babalon as the Supernal Triad is "insisted upon." This unity may be suggested by the identical gematria of both (156). <br />
Chaos is sometimes shown as being identical with the Beast.<br />

As a Tetragrammaton or four-fold Word, Chaos is oftentimes paired with the Sepentary word of Babalon which is linked to the A.'.A.'. Grades of 4=7/7=4 and provides a further identification of Chaos with Zeus and Demiurgos (along with the identification of 2 with 9 - "the lord of air"). <br />
