I didn't say you threw, i said you waited for sound discussion to worn out and be replaced by invectives before you came.

You've been silently following from the start, why didn't you say a thing? Your clique who came in earlier scammed when the heat began descending, now you are here from behind.


How do you mean "Your clique"? I don't have any, I do my own thing

who are the members of this "clique" and how did they "scammed"?

this is confusing

What does it mean to downplay Jesus?
It means relegating Jesus
It means dismissing and/or not accepting the vital role(s) Jesus played, plays and play in the fight against sin
Check page 39 of this thread, to read how and what it means to downplay Jesus

Ranchhoddas:
I think for you lot, anyone who does not subscribe to the notion that Jesus is God is downplaying Jesus.
Jehovah's Witnesses for instance do not agree that Jesus is God
Not subscribing to the notion that Jesus is God, is one of the various aspects of downplaying Jesus

Ranchhoddas:
Are they in your own books?
In my books, they are entitled to their opinion

Loops!!
I don't.

well, the Freshest Clothes meme is usually used on reddit randomly when someone is being criticized (usually when the criticism is warranted), its just a simple popular joke

it goes like this

1. person A criticises Bola/Chigozie/Adamu

2. person B gives his own criticisms too

3. person C follows suite agreeing with A & B

4. it goes on and on and on, then a user simply posts "I think its hilarious u kids talking about Bola/Chigozie/Adamu. u wouldnt say this stuff to him at (wherever he lives), he's jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. y'all are pathetic lol"

my first post about Sukkot being jacked is simply throwing it out there to see if anyone gets the meme

to understand the illustration better, I'll give you examples

on a soccer thread criticising Pele, someone posted the below



when Barcelona signed Paulinho, Barcelona fans started saying he's not a good signing and someone posted



more examples








pay more attention to the below pic

You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away. I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, study, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

You are hypocritical, greedy, violent, malevolent, vengeful, cowardly, deadly, mendacious, meretricious, loathsome, despicable, belligerent, opportunistic, barratrous, poisonous, flagrant, self-destructive, abusive, and socially-ret.arded

Shut up and go away lest you achieve the physical retribution your behaviour merits.

all these "astra projection", "spirit moving" "soul flying to other planets" etc are just myths to me

Billyonaire:


Do not thank me. I am doing what I am supposed to do. If you have ever journeyed to the land beyond the beyond and met these entities at their homes then you will figure out how exactly life works. We are all energy beings, we have a body while they have their own kind of body, but to go there we drop our physicality and to come here, they drop their primary body and migrate astrally. Their technologies are far more advance and we can develop them here and we are doing that at the Antarctica laboratories. Do not take my advice as an insult, all I am saying is....If an entity can not tell you exactly its location and its level of knowledge can not measured and compared to the other ETs of different races, do not fucck with it. You could be communicating with a bully somewhere and you think you are doing great until you are pretty much fuccked up.

Speaking from experiences, not books.

@"speaking from experience..."

Why do you think the OP is speaking from "books".

Friend, you must understand that every one who decides to travel the occult road chooses for himself a path (if he's wise by the way) which ultimately informs his experience.

You chose yours, let Sarassin walk his.

Blessed Be!

Mr. Billyonaire, You are all over the place, perhaps you could have been a bit patient to suss out the direction of the thread. Look I respect your opinions much as I respect the opinions of others on these pages. I do not agree with most of what you say and clearly you do not agree with mine and that is fine. I stand by what I write but in an earlier post you crossed a line and commented that I was high on substance and today you say that I should not construe your advice as insults nor have you come to cast aspersions. You are welcome to critique my posts but if my posts are not to your highest standards and contain too much folklore then please feel free to move along, I will not be offended.

Lecturing on occult themes in NL is fraught with issues. In fact, any post that aims aims to elucidate, educate, critique or even castigate on NL suffers same hence my abstinence from initiating any.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with folks asking questions and whatnot if it PERTAINS to the lecture but, when it aims to derail the train of thought and bring in confusion, then it is not a welcome development.

Just happened on your post now, would have joined a while ago if I was aware of it (don't visit here much nowadays) and I can assure you it'd have been interesting. Nonetheless, I will read through and drop tidbits here and then (if needed).

Long time! How bodi?

Good to see you 4C2215131 I have been well and I trust the same's with you. Your input as always is highly valued, I have no issues with the aforementioned other than that a few well placed questions went unanswered. Anyways nothing is ever lost, something about this thread has religionists evincing their inner demons so, in that respect there has been cathartic value.

Hello dear friend,

I have been deeply touched by the thread and the narrative of your initiation into the blessing (of oneness). I wish to raise a few points on the issue of left, right and middle paths.

It has been my understanding that the real frontier between the left and right paths is to be found in the approach to the divine. At the fundamental point, left path practitioners are looking for self deification while their counterparts on the right side wish to "merge" with and be "dissolved into" the divine (ecosystem). That to me has been the simplest way to distinguish between both groups. In other words, the left path builds ego as sovereign and final while the right destroys it.

In this perspective, the middle path would be an attempt to achieve equilibrium between two extremes, whereby an initiate is "good" (not in moral terms) to that which is good in nature, but cruel and fierce in the face of "evil". Is there any truth in this view of things?

Aside Tantra which according to me, is the shortest path to enlightenment when one wishes not to abandon a modern lifestyle, I am most admirative of the philosophy and wisdom of the thrice greatest. Recently a collection of great books pertaining this school of thought just located me quite unexplicably. We shall certainely discuss that privately, but after reading a few of the books, I realised how much modern esoteric thought owes to Him.

Hermes Trismegistus is considered the father of Ceremonial Magick (though his existence has been debated in more than one occult and scientific circles...more like a legendary figure).

The advice I give aspiring enlightenment seekers (neophytes if you will) is to espouse a particular philosophy first, master it, implement it, control it, tweak it after which new occult ideologies can be sought for.

This way, you won't waste time trying to be an adept by absorbing a mismash of occult philosophies that may end up totally messing up your occult journey. Path of the occult is sooooo wide, amazingly so!

It is all relative. The forces that be are neutral.

How you choose to manipulate these forces determines the whole " black magick", "white magick", or "grey magick" (what Sarassin terms "the middle path"wink nomenclature to your practices.

Remember Gandalf the Grey in Lord of the Rings? Now you understand why he was termed that.

You must admit that,
you consciously and intentionally using the phrase "religionists, evincing their inner demons and cathartic value" is chucklesome
I just had to down the humor or comic side of it, as a good tonic of laughing

Hello Mizmycoli,

It is my pleasure to read you. Night was okay thanks. I trust yours was good too. I originally wanted to answer you here, but I feel we are not doing the thread any justice. It takes considerable efforts for sarassin, and others to create a thread like this or make distinct relevant contributions. The multiple derailings, noise around is to me another illustration of "casting pearls before swine".

You may open another thread, I (and probably others) will be glad to offer our opinions.

Heartfelt greetings.

Thread has since gone south! Kaput! Finito! Bored out of my mind!

Hello there,

it is always pleasure to read you. So great to have you grace the thread. unfortunately, you came when some people infested the whole of it with garbage.

In any case, I agree with what you said, and this is what I meant by "not in moral terms". I trust you are doing okay.
