When not self identified the recognizable elements show up from 'people teach how they've been taught'.
I strongly disagree with that one . Well, to qualify , it does not apply to me ,,, and some of my teachers (as I know who and what their teachers were like . However with others I know exactly what you mean .. actually so stuck in that and not be able to 'break out of the box' at all (note I said 'the ' box ... as if the same box goes down the generations .
In all I teach , whether it be magick, martial arts , school teacher , I go by the principle ( that ALL teachers should go by ) that we all have different learning 'styles' and the teacher should be able to detect the students most receptive style and adapt the teachers method to that of the student .
It applies to me as well . I got stuck and mixed up the other day with someone helping me learn an Escima pattern , after I messed up a few times I ; '' Hang on, let me just give things my own name and call them out before the actions ; ' left cross, right cross , right flick- under , right cross, left cross, left flick - under , got it !
In some cases , I will show an original form ... and then show my adaptations .
I find that set context is for mass processing. It's not individualized, but does greatly benefit those that want to connect to the current without having to make it their always on primary focus in life. Makes it easy for the initiator to just follow a script too. Unfortunately it does inhibit individual expression and self-development for both.
They should go hand in hand IMO , teach the skeleton and when it is formed and strong encourage creativity . With some types of people it is best to inform them of this dynamic when they start , others dont need that and others just assume that is the process .
Positions of authority attract the corrupt.
Even 'assumed' authority ( meaning , they assumed something about it ) . A 'grass roots' company I was a director of for years was overthrown by dissident rouge and ex-members . They were able to move into positions of directorship and company officers . Within a few months the smirks of victory wer wiped from their faces ..... ''Hey ! This isnt a position of power ! We have to do all this work and hassle for free for all these other people . ''
'' Ohhhhh .... such delightful schadenfreude ! ''
A hard set map is a way for the superficial to position themselves as authorities through a set system by abusing it to creating a psychological dependence on approval. Regularly through fear of some kind.
Other downstream effects are insular, such as dogmatism, unless otherwise overcome.
Yes, of course, like anything, there are pitfalls , alternative ? No maps ? No instructions? No lessons or recommended methods that have already eliminated masses of experiential mistakes .
For me , they have value if there is wisdom in application . The map may not be the territory , but you can be a lot better off with one, than without one when in unfamiliar territory .
To clarify the definitions for myself, I define Resh as the Sun salutation followed by an adoration(in the text as taught by a Superior).
Yes, I think the salutation obviously comes before the adoration ( ha ! we are making a general map of the stages
)
In my 'method' it is the latter part that is 'as taught by superior ' ; ie 'composing oneself in meditation ' .
With the national anthem, it was as the people of the land towards in recognition through national identity. Collective consciousness experiment.
Thanks ... gotcha .
Originally it was to see if the national current resonated. True North strong and free does. Even the melody, with elements of Mozart's March of the Priests from the Magic Flute does.
My fav was to 'sing' ( chant , intone ) the adoration in Egyptian .
Experimentative. One example of reasoning is given above.
To develop a solar salutation from a modern understanding of the natural world.
Are/were you OTO?
Ah ! That goes back to my original question ... how would you tell ? ( without them self-identifying and without you knowing who their teacher was )
Immanent, hylozioc, hyperdimensional, gravitic(different from Eureka!) linked.
There's a lot to explore with that ritual.
If there's a way to open it up to general discussion, rather than focusing specifically on deconstructing my work expecting me to defend it, would be more encompassing and open up others to sharing their unique ideas without going off topic.
Yes. I am not interested in such an argument at all . I would like expereinced people to share THEIR expereinces with it , including any interesting results from modufactions and experiments (like you outlined )
I would not go further than this , for example ; '' my 'method' it is the latter part that is 'as taught by superior ' ; ie 'composing oneself in meditation ' . ie , although I think this is stated in the instructions , I am calling it as ''I think this'' , not 'NO! You are wrong ! It clearly says .... blah blah blah ... '
I had considered a Journal for my modernized solar salutation that recognizes the Earth's solar terminator when I get around to focusing on that. A Resh thread may make that happen sooner.
Hmmm ... if I read that right , you have developed Resh further away from the 'dying God formula ' to ; 'those considerations encouraged of the 'Master Magician '
?
or (if that signal is not received ) .... updated by 'modern' science and adaption from Geocentric to Heliocentric .
