We insist from the beginning on the individual character of the work, and upon the necessity of maintaining the objective and skeptical standpoint. You are explicitly warned against reliance upon “authority,” even that of the Order itself. Consider my own assets, personal, social, educational, experiential and the rest: don’t you see that all I had to do was to put out some brightly-coloured and mellifluous lie, and avoid treading on too many toes, to have had hundreds of thousands of idiots worshiping me?

Do not let the government tell us what we can do with the gift if the internet. We are becoming akin to China!

Freedom is a two-edged sword of which one edge is liberty and the other, responsibility.
Both edges are exceedingly sharp and the weapon is not suited to casual, cowardly or
treacherous hands.
Since all tyrannies are based on dogma and since all dogmas are based on lies, it
behooves us to look beyond them for truth and freedom will both be far away. And yet
the Truth is that we know nothing…

Meditation, something I have done in various forms but the basic principles remain the same and are easy to do but hard to stick with at the outset. It does get better with practice tho so don’t give up easy is my advice. It’s your body, so master it! 🙂
I first started meditating by myself 6 years ago and read the instructions from “Book 4” and “8 Lectures on Yoga” by Aleister Crowley. These books attempted to lay it out simplistically for the western mind to grasp more comfortably then being bombarded by Sanskrit and Eastern mysticism. They probably where the first real documented guides on the subject of Yoga back when they were published in 1912 or so. For me, they worked extremely efficiently.Taking these basic principles and making a diary of results helped me greatly to understand what worked best for me.
After a period of time I become more proficient and the benefits certainly are vast. Calmness with inner peace, overflowing of love for nature and everything that exists and mindfulness. This from maybe just 45mins per day in two sittings. So I recommend it if you suffer the likes of panic attacks, uncertainty, stress, depression etc etc. It is so cheap to do its free, no need to buy expensive video guides or books, or even go to a class. Follow the basic rules and you are on your way.
A couple of years ago I went to Buddhist meditation evening classes and it transpired that the very same techniques that I had learnt from the above books are exactly what they were teaching me again. It sort of validated for me the accuracy of the books and their effectiveness.
The basics are contained in the article that I have linked below. Go on, even just try it the once and give you brain some time off. Normally it does not get the opportunity, even when sleeping. It needs a holiday too! Good luck!

For most people out there its all about what you can get… that new handbag, those pair of Jeans, that iPad etc etc… Really what is happening is that you are being played by the consumer system and gullible you bought into it. These items don’t magickcally make your life better and then result in everything being perfect, they only make you feel good for a brief amount of time. Real happiness comes from within, accepting and acknowledging yourself for who you are. That’s what really matters. That’s what stays with you for ever.
So the choice you have to make is simple…. keep reading the celeb magazine garbage and trashy newspapers about people who are completely superficial and even with all their money just want to be loved or you could do something for yourself. Find or what makes you happy, deep down within yourself and realize that all that glitters is not gold and that the real truth is that you must love yourself.
So click the link below and read some more if you really want to discover happiness.
Happiness is only a click away.

21st of May 2011….. yeah right… another religious prediction in order to scare more gullible people into a churches flock in my opinion.
Camping believes the rapture will occur May 21 and that God will destroy the earth on October 21. Yeah right!

Its a slow burn but rather than saying what people want to hear, be true and honest to yourself and the rewards will be greater. Once you start making concessions to suit others you lose yourself. Read this short article below for more details.
Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
