		<description><![CDATA[Well, Joe, since you do not know who I am or anything about me other than what I have decided to post, I will forgive your slights. I can&#039;t state that I have commenced a truly scientific study of most Thelemites other than the ones that I have met and become acquainted with. My criticisms of Thelemites in particular may apply to occultists in general. 

What survey are you referring to? 

Love, your friend,

		<description><![CDATA[1 &amp; 3: It&#039;s obvious that it is your opinion and that you have a strong belief it is an educated one. 

I have a different point of view, which is that you either have very little experience, or you reject truth which does not pander to your prejudices, since your opinion is based on nothing but anecdote and rhetoric. Moreover, given that you have formed such an opinion in the absence of any scientific rigor, the fact that you consider your opinion to be &quot;educated&quot; leads me to think that you are probably more marginalized than most Thelemites, and that all this is some kind of projective defense mechanism on your part. 

My point of view is based on the survey which shows that very few O.T.O. members are, to use your word, &quot;marginalized.&quot; If I am wrong, prove it with a demonstration that you have conducted some form of objective analysis. If your opinion is the least bit &quot;educated,&quot; then offer a substantive critique of the survey (which you must have studied carefully).

By the way, your use of the pseudonym &quot;Hymenaeus Beta&quot; is ridiculous and idiotic.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. I didn&#039;t say that I did not want the imagery. I said that even if the descriptions are helpful to those of us that can get past terms such as &quot;The Great Beast&quot; and &quot;666&quot; they are self-defeating if the purpose is to spread the Law. Crowley use these terms for reasons beyond literary device, and in my opinion, did so to offend and provoke people with little concern for anything else. 

2. Perhaps. Reason however helps us understand the truth and realize when we see it. I have said multiple times that Thelema is bigger than AC and that I do not accept his version in its entirety. Again, for Thelema to develop into a serious philosophy and way of life it needs to escape the eccentricities of AC and look at him in a purely objective light. 

3. I am quite sure this is not a projection of my earlier years. I can make generalizations if I want to, especially when you don&#039;t make any true arguments to the contrary. 

PS Actually, it is. Any professional or public figure knows they need to obtain their name URL. I also have HymenaeusAlpha.com as well. Perhaps I will start a dialogue between the OHOs? And I never claim to be Bill Breeze or claim to be an authority. It is the false authority of OTO and EGC that I am combating, not my own.]]></description>
