Seeing that is going to become a pissing match here goes.
I was initiated into the Order of the Phoenix aged 18. Yes there is a JK Rowling connection there too.
I hold a Swiss OTO Charter and also one of Crow's OTO charters from Gerald York. I have worked with both Regardie (Ibae) and Gerald Suster (Ibae) who I was friends with for over 10 years. If you are up on European alchemy you will have hear of the time that Gerald disrupted an international conference in Regents Park in London… Well that was when we met. Regardie also spent an evening explaining all the psychological mechanisms behind Crowley game playing and the damage that he left behind.
I have contributed numerous articles to leading edge magazines including the Lamp of Thoth and talked before large and prestigious groups of magicians including the French branch of the BOA.
Yes Pablo is a pseudoym. Why? Well because I am a member of an old and very stuffy profession where my future career development may be hindered if I came out as a magician.
Frankly in cyberspace anyone can be anything they wanna. Of all of your attributes I would question which of the OTOs you claim to be a certified magus of. As a certified Magus could you please explain what that it means to be one? I am a certified adept and card carrying adept of my Lodge and I can explain that. It also doesn't mean a hill of beans outside of the Lodge. I do no that I can do what I do and will say that I have been judged by my equals and peers, which is all that matters. Finally I am a certified 2nd degree Gardenerian. Finally I am a Lukumi priest of Ochossi. Ochossi is very much concerned with Justice.
“and being a Magus of OTO
and minister of U/R pst mdn sub rosa, it is my duty to expose liars.
nothing personal.”
Well I am taking it personally as that is clearly how it was offered. You have only exposed yourself but I get the feeling there is nothing new there. We will not be able to resolve this until I meet you face to face. Then you will be given a quick opportunity to retract your comments. As I travel internationally I may be in your location one day. And if you also travel internationally let me know when next you will be in Europe.
For the rest of you who have sadly been following this foolish exhibition. All I wanted to explain was this.
I judge societies and individuals by their achievements and by their treatment of the vulnerable that they come across. It appears that at least one of you has taken umbrage on this perspective and I do apologise as you have every right to have your opinion and I fully support your democratic right to do so. However I do expect my democratic rights to be equally respected. I did not come onto this Board to cause a ruck. Personally I don’t do blind hero worship. My contributions were meant in the spirit of dialect discourse which is even taught in Harvard business school… How Marx would have laughed.
I have commented on Crowley’s achievements and his shortcomings from position of deep knowledge. I am by nature sympathetic to those who are used as cannon fodder. I would never have written that those hoping to evoke spirits to visible appearance should do so from the safety of the Triangle. I am also very careful in my dealings with. I have no intention of dying a heroin addict neither.
Be well
Pablo
