folk who are in to talk of other dimensions etc. thing is it
had a cutly feel about it. really nice folk organising it
and right up my street when it comes to the concepts
discussed. however im unsure if it is wise to join one of
the chambers. has anyone had any experience of the gnostic
society in the uk?

i would be careful, they have some pretty radical beliefs,
here is something i got from a website:

we are pluriforms of God voluntarily descended to this
prison world voluntarily losing our memory, identity and
supernatural powers (faculties), all of which can be
regained through anamnesis We did not sin and we were not
punished; we elected to descend. Why? To infuse the divine
into the lowest strata of creation in order to halt its
decomposing

i dont know about you, but to me its a bit too much to think
about

I don't think I, however charitable I may have been feeling,
would have elected to lose my supernatural powers and be
reborn defenceless and clueless in south London. I'm sorry,
lower strata, if that upsets any of you.

all religious beliefs have a clever way of sucking you in,
my friend studied world religions and he told me each one
has this wierd power over you, sucks you in, so you have to
have a strong mind, it's better to be skeptical. there s
nothing wrong in believing in god, but that's it, just
accept that god probably exsists but no one knows anything
about it. when you start believing some crazy idea like the
one i posted, you will end up in a mental hospital

It's not just Religions which employ Brainwashing
techniques: Every person in the world employs Brainwashing
techniques.

The old gnostics are different from the new gnostics. True
Gnostism died out around the time rome started to embrace
the catholic church and was eventually stamped out by the
holy roman empire. They are sometimes thought to be the
earliest form of christianity.
They had all the same books in the accepted christian bible
plus others that were not canonized at nicea or hippos

Our body language, our choice of language: two examples of
Brainwashing. Turn on the TV and watch a few advertisements
for examples of visual and linguistic Brainwashing, and read
a few tabloid newspapers for further examples of linguistic
Brainwashing. It's an everyday occurrence. Brainwashing
isn't Bad or Evil per se

i agree with you, but at some point in time dont you feel
you start to ignore advertisements and things of that such?
I hardly ever notice billboard when driving or ads brought
up on webpages

Oh, but your subconscious does, as pointed out hilariously
by Derren Browne, who subconsciously Brainwashed two
Advertising men into designing something almost exactly as
he wished them to.

they had a selection of books to read during the duration of
the study, 60, they did not say they had to be purchased,
but one assumes they would say i think it is a good idea to
make such purchases to aid development. i got 'wrong' sort
of for having a crowley tattoo.

You have a Crowley tattoo? On your upper arm? Is it the
iconic image of him staring straight at the camera, his
intense eyes piercing the viewer?

"all language is manipulation" I read somewhere once. I
think I'll google that now and read all the text backwards.
