I wanted you to have some of what ---[inserting J. for anonymity here]--- left here, and you s hared that bit with me last night, so it's my way of sharing back. Sure, share the epiphany too.- Luiz Teles
Issues of government have been on my mind lately. After playing this all day and smoking with you it hit me.Government is a function of man's ego, it's a need to play god. For good or evil. - Luiz Teles
To put it in my story: Lucius vision of government is him being a benevolent god.In the final saga, he starts that way. - Luiz Teles
Hence the plot will shove him into a forced pilgrimage. I want Dawna's adventures to take her to his side, to aid him. - Luiz Teles
But yeah... that's why government is always behind the times. No matter how hard you try.I swear, sometimes I can almost envision a near perfect society, but it never lasts. - Lisa Walling
Yup. Some things go faster than others. Enlightenment seems like it takes a while to get around the whole cycle. Where music is pretty fast to turn over from mediocrity to genius and back again. - Luiz Teles
I take comfort in the fact that it's all connected. One idea like "Every man and every woman is a star" can snowball down the line and become viral.When that becomes a basic set of values, it changes the structure of things. - Luiz Teles
I think this is why the Book of the Law coupled The Empress with The Hierophant, not The Emperor. Both adding to 11.A proper King needs to aspire to more than the ego. He needs to have that spiritual fire from the gods. - Luiz Teles
"16. I am The Empress & the Hierophant. Thus eleven, as my bride is eleven." Liber Legis 2:16 - Luiz Teles
Hadit says this, the core of our star-soul.This seems to indicate a key to the mystery of Thelemic Kingship.The King must undertake a pilgrimage out to the desert, fight through the night of the soul and undergo all of the Major Arcana in his Inward Journey.The adventure without mirrors the adventure within.--------------So there you have it. Now that I'm revisit this, the exposition is already there. I'm writing about the inward journey, with many interesting characters along the way. I was playing Civilization V all day, and having a blast governing my own Utopian Society. And why the fuck am I stuck in the Facebook format now? Well, another entry is on the way.

Government and the King's Pilgrimage.
There are some things I need to write about here, before I smoke again and get more ideas. This is a place for me to digest these concepts and apply them to art and life as needed. I can take a concept like The King's Pilgrimage in my story, and evaluate the metaphor along with all it's subtleties. To do this, I'll begin by pasting a conversation I had with Lisa.
