I just read a post in which a Thelemite made the statement of "We are not equal." It was used in the context that some people are better than others
( Read more... )
****The reason we are not all equal is that this gives us something to move towards...a higher standard. ****
After all this time I was under the impression that what I was moving towards was reaching that smooth point, Knowledge and Conversation with my Holy Guardian Angel and my True Will.
Thank you for the clarification. One question though? Who is it that is going to set that standard I am striving for then? My peers? The government? The Church? My family?
Would not my own true self set that standard? If that is the case, as each of us are different, the standards would be different as we are each stars. While the standards, as you say, might be different, by using the word superior you are saying that your orbit or true Will is better than another's.
It is all subjective. Lets look at the Crusades as an exmaple. To the Europeans, those of the Middle East were not equal to them. To the Europeans, the Islamic peoples were savages, yet in reality, the people of the Middle East were far more advanced than the Europeans in thought, sciences, etc.
Why did the Europeans think that they were barbarians and less than equal? Because the Islamic people did not believe what they did spiritually or accept their way.
