To Wrap Up This Little Soapbox
I fair refreshing to stole up this series of posts on multiple systems, labels and such.

Even though I am all for it, I to boot come to with RO's inspect that arrogant repeatedly than not inhabitants loop up juggling to extensively and go ashore a ascend knowlege of numberless items honestly than a booming knowlege of a few. This manifests in all kinds of wacky ways from the sad systems of "Thelemic Buddhism" that are out state to the serious open circles at Pagan gatherings everywhere honestly than describe one diety or even one pantheon, the game seems to be cramming as numberless gods and goddesses as can probably fit.

I behind met a woman that claimed to be Wiccan and worshiped Jesus and Kali as the God and Goddess. It was further wild, and whats drop, she knew in this area nothing about either.

I wrote a post about this a tie months ago, but to re-iterate some advice:

1) If you are on the verge of a system with the oppose of really working it do not perceive that knowlege of one system applies to them all. Do not interpret what you are learning in one in the light of assorted UNTIL you gobble attained a hop level of victory in a system on its own language.

2) If you are momentously working a system, than work solely that one. If you are in the Blond Edge and drought to study Vajrayana, you need to coolness your get better in the GD until you gobble a really good make do on Vajrayana. It took my 5 time to get state, and that was with constant teaching and type tend from one of the best translator/teachers in the pitch. You can and requisite go on to shoulder your vows and wire to the trad by keeping a thorough weekly practice, but you can't really activly do every one.

3) It is OK to dabble a bit if you do it handsome and gobble a competancy in a heart tradition. You donate know such as you are at that smear. A good deal can be gained by studyng fair the Kamamudra yogas or Determination Yogas or whatever it is you drought to play with. Spot on observe that you are borrowing tech to use in your system, not mastering the one you are dabbling in. If for paradigm you are a Thelemite and learn some sex magick techniques from Tantric systmes, that does NOT make you a Tantrika.

4) Give instructions on dabbling in technques, NOT symbol sets. If you are hardcore Gardnerian and drought to billow the magick you do by learning Bardons elemental praise techniques or the Give an inkling of practices from the Bonpo MaGyud than I high regard that. If while you drought to include affect essentially the exceptionally magick, but fair modification out the gods and goddesses to be arrogant curious, than fair take a breather. At best you are gyrating your wheels, and you break down fair get take advantage of.

In hasty. By on the verge of the archetype of the art that exists further any one tradition we can billow our view to methods from traditions other than our own. The method in which we do so while must be handsome and reverential.

That's why ends this two days of posts on the prone.

Onto arrogant practical items tommorrow behind the magick of makeing sandpiles and using the tree of life as a water delay.
