I just found this website and seems like a pretty handy tool.

Back to School

2007-08-21T01:05:14Z

With the huge amount of free time I have available, I have decided to go back to college. I start on Monday. I'm only taking one class but hey I haven't been to college in ten years so I thought I would ease my way into it.

The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind

2007-08-03T14:04:28Z

I just finished reading The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes. We were discussing this book at Thelemic Coffee Night. It is interesting to think that the practices of evocation and K&C/HGA could have come down to us from the breakdown of the bicameral mind and man's attempts to bring back the god voice. I hear that the Julian Jaynes society has a book with some additional information regarding this theory and I'd like to get a hold of it. Some of the supporting evidence was pretty thin in places.

LibraryThing

2007-03-07T22:57:59Z

I finally got a LibraryThing and I'm hooked. I have a cuecat from when they used to give them away and it works wonderfully with this database. I just started today but hope to get everything in there soon.

Western Mystery Conference

2006-08-26T17:26:03Z

I registered for the Western Mystery Conference in Austin today. I'm really looking forward to this event.

Starry Bayou Website

2006-08-21T21:51:38Z

Starry Bayou Encampment now has a website at

www.starrybayou-oto.org

I am a total web design amateur so the site needs some work but I think it is respectable for now and hopefully some of the web experts in the camp can polish it up and get to work adding some content.

Tour de France

2006-07-27T21:06:44Z

I really hope that Floyd Landis didn't cheat in the Tour de France. Stage 17 was one of the most impressive stages I've ever seen and it would be a shame if Floyd was doping during the Tour.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond

2006-07-11T15:37:25Z

I'm sad to hear that Syd Barrett has died. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was an important album to me.

The mountains win again

2006-06-11T23:54:17Z

I was really torn today between going to Mexico or going to the mountains. The mountains won and I drove to Mt. Lemmon today which I'm glad I did. The mountains were beautiful and it was a whole lot cooler up there. I found myself a rock to sit on at the top and just looked out over the area for a long time. It really made me feel good.

Tombstone, AZ

2006-06-11T23:47:26Z

So I'm in Tucson on business and decided to drive to Tombstone,AZ. I knew the cherry red Ford Mustang rental would get me into trouble and I got pulled over on the way. Luckily, the cop was cool and didn't give me a ticket. Once I got to Tombstone, I saw all the cool sites. Got to go to the OK Corral and so on.

In the evening I went to the Gnostic Mass at Seven Spirits Camp. I had a great time at the mass and chatting with everyone after the mass. As I was leaving, the body master said "call anytime, you have family here" which is what I really love about the OTO.

Liber Tzaddi

2006-06-02T15:32:23Z

I have been doing some research on Liber Tzaddi and found and interesting similarity between verse 1 of Liber Tzaddi and a verse from the Book of the Dead. Here is Liber Tzaddi verse 1:

1. I fly and I alight as an hawk: of mother-of-emerald are my mighty-sweeping wings.

Here is a portion from [THE CHAPTER] OF MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION INTO A HAWK OF GOLD from the Book of the Dead

I fly, I alight like a hawk with a back of seven cubits, and the wings of which are like unto the mother-of-emerald of the South.

Gnostic Mass at Horus Oasis

2006-01-22T17:55:18Z

Since I was in Salt Lake City for work, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to see a Gnostic Mass at Horus Oasis. I am very glad that I did. The Mass was beautiful and the hospitality was warm and friendly. I especially love the singing of the anthem. I was gifted with a copy of The Vespers of Nuit and purchased a copy of the Gnostic Mass CD so I came away with plenty of loot. I want to thank everyone from Horus Oasis for an excellent evening.

Here is the view from my hotel room in Layton, UT where I have been sent for two weeks.

Starry Bayou Encampment

2005-10-24T21:46:38Z

It's Official. Starry Bayou Encampment has come into being. The Electoral College accepted our charter application and we are now an official OTO camp. I'm very excited and looking forward to continued growth of the order in Houston.

A Riddle for P

2005-07-03T09:47:44Z

I can sizzle like bacon,
I am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg,
I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,
I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole,
What am I?

2005-06-30T03:40:10Z

I have compiled a complete concordance for Liber Tzaddi which I am now selling through Cafe Press. I have begun the work on some of the other Holy Books and hope to have those out soon. The concordance for Liber Tzaddi is going for 8.99 and most of the proceeds will go towards the development of a new OTO camp here in Houston. If you purchase the volume and have any comments, please feel free to send them my way. You can find the concordance at:

Thelemic Clip Art

2005-06-16T02:14:00Z

If anyone knows a good place on-line to get high-resolution clip art of a thelemic nature, please let me know. I'm trying to put together some fliers for our local group and would like some nice graphics to use.

Political Action Committee

2005-06-14T17:09:22Z

I found some good information on the FEC website about forming a PAC.

We have Mentor!

2005-05-19T04:46:04Z

Our local OTO Camp in Formation now has a mentor. This is good news prior to me heading off to Kaaba. I have sent our new mentor a status report on where we are and hope to get some good feedback on where we need to be. Hopefully Houston will have a chartered body in the near future.

Liber HHH

2005-04-28T14:23:40Z

I would be interested in hearing from those who have experience with Liber HHH. I would like to hear your methods and any advice about these meditations.
