I was born into a world on the brink, not only of destruction, but of spiritual bankruptcy. Amid materialism, rationalism, and scientific deification—at a moment when I had all but given up, I received a lifeline from the McMurtry A⸫A⸫—the Angel and the Abyss are no longer conceptual. With that encouragement, I found within myself something with which I would identify as the Gnostic Christ. Call Him Set, Pan, Abaddon… however you choose to name the Truth in Whom All Things are One in the Void.
Feeling the presence and ecstasy of the God within all of us, I am lucky. Luckier still, I now find myself at the A⸫A⸫’s helm; I now have a way to serve my brothers and sisters.
I am adamant to Redeem the Power that is being stolen from us through our ignorance. I offer all I have and all I am to help us banish the false web of names, images, and beliefs that serve to bring only grief to the Soul. Piety, holiness, faith, self-awareness, bravery, straight-forwardness, selflessness: by developing these qualities we can Free ourselves.
The alignment of man and woman in the New Aeon enshrines the central mystery of Thelemic Freedom.
