If you had read my previous post, you would have noted that I deem "New age" crap to be just that: crap. However, occultism is a different beast altogether. True occultism involves logic, reason, and skepticism in rather healthy doses, and looks to break down delusion in all of its myriad forms.

We could have a nice, long, in-depth philosophical discussion concerning the nature of occultism, if you'd like, but it would be going off-topic concerning this thread.

Wow, he contributed $8,000 in 2004 to the Republic party. He must have a fairly good cash flow to afford this much of a donation.

If so then yes, I'm wrong. Otherwise yes, that is an assumption regardless of if you are right.

I misunderstood your previous post, and you are indeed correct. I did assume that Kinaton has not read the topics suggested. My bad.

However, for what its worth, considering his current postings, I believe my assumptions are rather on the money.

The dude makes a killing off of this ****. The classes of his students are about $100 a pop, nevermind what Gudni himself probably charges.

Talk about poisoning the well!

The Order of the Golden Dawn was founded in the 19th century, by some Freemasons who got together and created a system of occult rituals. They made it up, based on older stuff, including alchemy, astrology, tarot, etc. They wrote their stuff down. They had meetings. They documented what they did. You might not think there's any value to what they did, but to claim that there's no such thing as a reputable source of information about what they did is pure stupidity.

Using your logic, I can say there's no such thing as a reputable source for Gracie Jiu Jitsu because Royce took steroids. It's just a fucking non sequitur.

Pathetic attempt to end debate fails due to your own misuse of logic.

Wanna be taken seriously when you talk about other peoples' grasp of logic and reasoning? Don't use stupid logical fallacies in your own arguments.

A brief search reveals some disturbing trends (surprise!)

I found another corp owned by Mr. Gundnason called the "Spartan Group Agel". It appears that this is a charitable foundation of some sort working in the Philippines. However, a member of the 7th mystery school was expressing some concern whether or not there was any charitable work being done at all. Can anyone say they've heard about the "Spartan Group". If they are soliciting donations but not operating as a charity this could be a matter for the IRS to deal with.

Are Mr. & Mrs. Gudnason really divorced?? My search seem to indicate that they still reside together.

Googling the address of the Spartan Group (331 South 100 West, Brigham City, UT) brings up over 300 hits for various seminars, courses, websites etc. for a bizarre range of occult studies. One site advertises a channeling course.
LOCATION: The Triolite Seminar Center

331 South 100 West, Brigham City, UT 84302 866-570-7036 or 435-723-5442

LECTURE, DEMONSTRATION AND PRACTICUM $200*

*If you bring your altar, tools, and black mirror: $300 if you don't.

On the contrary, I hold my opinions based on my experience with people heavily involved on occultism and the literature I've read on the subject. If it becomes relevant I'll go into detail. But my opinion has not been formed in ignorance.

If we're discussing the historical aspects of occultism then you have a point. If we are discussing the validity of there silly rituals to reality then you are just another deluded neo-hippy.

I would love a list of the literature you've read concerning the subject, since your previous comments seem to denote ignorance in the field.

If you are game, we can take our conversation to email, so as not to clutter up this thread any further.

I cannot argue anything concerning the people you have met who call themselves occultists. Occultism is saturated with nut-jobs, neo-hippies, delusionals, and utter phonies. Then again, so is the martial arts world. Of course, in the world of occultism, like that of martial arts, one can also find rocket scientists, physicists, scholars, doctors, lawyers, psychologists and other respected professionals.

Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
