Thanks for your well thought out commentary. I hope you recover from your Mushroomitis.
Mushroomitis: The state where a member is treated like a mushroom and may or may not know they can be cured.
Usually found in the ranks of the Ordo Templi Orientis. Those affected pose as Thelemites, but the most serious cases are supporters of the current Leadership and they are the worst carriers, infecting others even through email and letters.
Cures are known to be resignation, suspension, expulsion. A common treatment of this dread disease is refusing to follow with blind obedience.
Another effective treatment is listening to Le'Hermitage, reading specific LJ accounts and Communities and actually thinking for themselves. To fully demonstrate their recovery, a sufferer must speak up, speak out and actively work for removal of the current Administration of the OTO.
There now, practice this and one day you may be accepted as a real Thelemite.
The folks who run that body are two of the finest members of the Ordo Templi Orientis I know.
They practice Thelema as I believe it should be by all.
That Oasis has been an example of what the OTO could be.
I haven't finished the series yet and was getting around to who I thought were real Thelemites and practiced it in Word and Deed.
They are cool, honest, and trustworthy. The problem is that the Leadership of the OTO is faulty, in my opinion. Others will agree with me, and that is the real paradox. Do you join and hope it changes or wait until the Leadership currently in power are removed and those better suited are installed?
There are many members who are also good people and carry out what they swore to do in their initiations, they unfortunately aren't running the show.
