Some good points here and excellent observation and in other mails.
Having done the Crowley investigation in my youth, the TOPY influence, I
walked away from it all with the information and took a different route.
Before going into the information I had spent time with friends who had
tuned into and were going to Krishnamurti for meditation. 

What I liked in the end was the fact that its about finding your own
truth. Sigilising on the 23rd hour on the 23rd day every month was not
my way in the end. Embracing decadence and drug influence wasn't my way.
I didn't want to become another Jonestown victim.

My route thanks to these influences became very disciplined and focused.
Whilst being able to understand the theory doing it is a different
effort. Some of the most eloquent verse was by Matt Johnston in THE THE
Dusk True Happiness this way lies

Simply searching isn't the method I choose to take. Its being the way.
Do what thou wilt is to me all about that as is Krishnamurtis writings.
Or as genesis used to recount it's the PROCESS not the product.

There are lots of paths up the mountain. No one way is the right way and
while many paths cross each other they all have their own way.
Appreciating that and accepting that there is something in everything
will stop the inane bickering that only distracts us and reduces us to a
pantomime best served on Channel 4 every night at 10pm.

Read them all if you have the time and effort, allow yourself to grow.
Go for it. jeet kune do
