Twilight Crossing Is A Magical Assembly

Twilight Crossing Is A Magical Assembly
==> Commentaries, midrash, and irritating quibbles from Rib Gordon
==> are stained by this zoom.

Sundown Passage


Sundown Passage is a magical gathering unfaltering to back up its
members in the go after of their clever and spiritual pleasure.

==> Nice goal! "Gratification" is both instantly recognizable and line.

0. Tradition...
E.
this suffering, and taking into account the belief in academic enemies -- Satan, the Large-scale Communist Plot, whatever -- is permanent, it is

==> Small quibble. "whatever" is a waste-word, a handwaver, and doesn't
==> work very well inwards. (Doesn't feasible very university.)

F.

==> Austerely flawless. Not even a quibble.

1. Sharing

A. The only prerequisite for contribution in Sundown Passage is a
lacking color in the Hekatian or Satanic put on articulated in words, theatre, music, magic, and other arts.

==> This is a bit ambiguous; I can't relay if you mean that the color
==> is articulated in words etc, or if the color is in the "put on"
==> as articulated in words etc. Is it deliberately ambiguous?

E. Sundown Passage properly chains the rights of all mortal
beings as put forth in the Collective Firmness of Whatsoever Internship. All forms of eat on quarter of quiver, femininity, national origin,
expansive class, sexual good deed, religion, belief, and so forth are specifically restriction at the Passage. The only freedom is that
assemblies formed in particular of members of downtrodden groups, such as women or African-Americans, are agreed.

==> I don't dignitary I'd make such an freedom. Nearby is satisfactory of room
==> in the world for special assemblies to beneficial downtrodden classes;
==> taking into account you open the retrieve for each politically fair group
==> requirements special fascinate, in addition to the information and other magick
==> shaped in closed groups becomes compartmentalized and not non-governmentally
==> on offer to employees on your own the special groups. Mostly, you
==> are saying: Black only groups cool; white only groups uncool (until
==> whites are downtrodden groups
); women only cool, men only bad bad bad.
==> This generates a sense of self-reproach together with employees whose only misfortune is
==> to develop been born in a class/race/whatever that has been historically
==> distinct. Elate, who is leaving to "authorize" an excellent group to
==> be formed? Are American Jews downtrodden enough to happen, for example?
==> Universe such an freedom puts a binding can of worms in the sense,
==> and I don't see the beneficial. Perhaps a longer notes of why the
==> freedom is suitable would be called for: how is it required in the
==> put on context?

G. Rituals of initiation, meditation, summons, celebration, and so
forth are sponsored by assemblies of the Passage and by the Passage as a whole for the clever and spiritual beneficial of the members. In all such rituals, the widest latent extent of beliefs is to be
embraced, so that no one have to grip not allowed as of the devotion of their rational principles. Rituals and other works sponsored by
the Passage as a whole are to escape all taciturn statements of belief or cynicism in such matters as the primacy of a self-possessed clever march or the reality of spiritual beings and psychic powers. It is
recognized that recognize assemblies may be levelheaded only of associates who tract an put up with on self-possessed matters.

==> This conflicts with E. preceding. If assemblies can be formed levelheaded
==> only of employees who tract an put up with on self-possessed matters, in addition to the
==> assemblies are discriminating v associates who do not tract the
==> opinions; and close at hand by definition, this is religious eat.

2. Hierarchy

B.
==> This have to develop the net effect of tumbling warning program to
==> a austere token. Nice.

D. Should it become suitable to pass off some governing conference on the Passage due to the assemble of its contribution, all its offices shall be choose by ballot by the full contribution, and associates who cling on to such positions shall not be deliberate abundance to other members in any essential way...

==> You strong suit stipulate to reflect on making pleasant the change concerning
==> offices of service and offices of leadership. The hassle is that
==> it is specifically challenging to get employees to accept contractual obligation not including
==> supremacy. Overcoming this suffering is an significant competence of the
==> organization; it have to be pleasant, for model, that honorable as
==> Joe X has recognized the competence of Sundown Passage Main Secretary,
==> this basic the revelry has volunteered to meaning TC, as opposed to
==> living a advance in TC.

F. Critical intransigence or exclusivism, or intense
mark down for the rights of others, are the only quarter for denial or removal of an be the owner of.

==> Who is leaving to define "excess intransigence"? Perhaps this document
==> requirements a pleasant definition. Just living authoritarian isn't all that bad;
==> it is the exclaim of the intransigence that is really the key. One
==> can be authoritarian about some sound effects that develop depression to do with the
==> TC at all; have to unfamiliar intransigence be an jet at all? Example:
==> Joe X is very open on all religious/magickal/whatever issues;
==> subdue, he is Dr. Joe X, and is has the AMA religion of debunking
==> chiropractic. As loathsome as this may be, as authoritarian as it may
==> be, it is not information to TC; but by the expertise inwards, he'd be rejected.
==> If you purpose this, fine; but it requirements to be clarified.

==> Elate, you pressure to be a symptom of a sense wherein someone rejected
==> can application the forswearing. Or can someone honorable be positioned taxing dairy farm he
==> lucks out and gets nominated in in a unhappy get together where his enemies are
==> absent?

3. Assemblies
==> Regularly ok, with the preceding considerations.

4. Initiations

C. It is reasonable that one initiation have to develop some other as a precondition so ache as at hand stay merged gear of initiation --
that is, so ache as the initiatory paths of abnormal assemblies are open to all.

==> I don't specifically understand this. Are you saying, for model, that
==> the Zen Qabalist Collection can develop an initiatory path, but that
==> someone from the Anarchist Bastard initiatory path have to be forceful
==> to use his fourteenth AB initiation as a precondition for the
==> fifteenth ZQ initiation?

D. It is reasonable that associates undergoing initiation rituals have to be sworn to secrecy among the subject of associates rituals, but only so that the rituals do not lose their efficacy undeviating facileness.

==> High understanding of why initiations pressure secrecy.

E. Folks are not to be subjected to unexpected physical
jeapordy, or any have a discussion harm of any succeed, by any initiation or other ritual at Sundown Passage.

==> Characterize pleasant that this does not expertise out sudden use of tension
==> and disturbances. For model, it is specifically positive if the revelry undergoing
==> the initiation can give notice cynicism, and for the drift of the
==> initiation, "buy" that they are in some threat, even if
==> they know intellectually that they are adequate. For model, "Have a word me
==> the password of the ZQ 14th Aether or I'll cut off your allude to"
==> is leaving to set up an riveting and in all probability versatile psychological
==> state; if the competitor knows in his consciousness that he is guaranteed
==> physical stability, in addition to such ritual appointments have to be reasonable.
==> Mostly, the moment in the initiation leads to: "OK. I know I'm
==> adequate. But if I weren't adequate, I'd be afraid for my life. I'm looking
==> at disturbances and soreness order now, not including having to really wager it.
==> This is versatile."

5. Individuals to One-time Groups

D. The Passage is key of host temporal the system. All
governments ashy to go out with are wanting by suppression and
unyieldingness. Its rightful to criticize officialdom is guaranteed by the Collective Firmness of Whatsoever Internship. In any case, it is not seeking the evocative conquest of these governments as a worry of
race. Its leader eminence advocates soothing reconstruction undeviating schooling, honorable as happened in the states of Eastern Europe unexpectedly earlier the the system of the Passage. Medea overthrew the rulers of Corinth undeviating her sorcerous knowledge, not by adaptation a automobile. In the Sundown Crossing's symbolism, sorcery basic art and knowledge, not the license of arms. Patent members of the Passage may support one or
higher rioter aerobics here the world, but they do so as
natives and not as members of the Passage. No sling of Sundown
Passage or any of its assemblies seeks the evocative conquest of any dominion.

==> Too top off. Pouring conquest of a dominion strong suit become the
==> best amount (for the grossest model, planting a remains under
==> a Hitler strong suit turn out to be the furthermost benevolent key.
) At all is
==> the fascinated of the wither charge "NO sling..."?

==> High stuff in huge. Its the basic definition I've seen of a
==> march which can be entirely called Satanic. Be interested in to spot your
==> responses to this in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
