An Issue of True History

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

Now how many times have I begun a private conversation with a loyal aspirant of Our Hierarchy with the words, “This is what really happened.. or the words, “This is what this rascal’s real Grade was during the lifetime of My Instructor...” My essay called “Succession” shall be reported publicly on what really, really occurred and not what the rambling and outright lies of social media would have you hear.

A few years back I received twenty Probationers all in the same few months. The origin of this event was quite ironic, I dare say. Someone who knew me years ago made the remark “that I only attained Dominus Liminus of the A∴A∴ during the lifetime of Motta; and Bersson is deluded that he is a M.T.”.
Those who realized that I attained to a higher Grade then those who were passing themselves off as a Heir was verified where I actually gained membership from the remark.

Well, now that we are in a Period of Speech again I’m certain it is only a matter of time where social media will once again slander me; or tell lies about our history. I was right there. I was right there; and I knew already who attained what Grade both in the A∴A∴ and Society Ordo Templi Orientis. I already proved myself long ago; and do not have to so to those who slander or harass me. They have no idea who they are dealing with. I honor all those aspirants in my Hierarchy living or dead who have been loyal; and absolutely despise all those who betrayed my Instructor. I will outlive you; and live to spit on your grave for your disrespect. I will laugh at your fear; and drag down your souls to awful torment. I will get even. I will have my revenge by magical warfare. I am strong and I am good.

Yet, if you want to know the truth my essay titled “Succession” is what you would start with. It is written with a level of annoyance, force and fire that I would rarely brandish but you must understand that when I wrote it I had found out that the vote was not done; and someone who I had trusted had betrayed my Superior. The Declaration of Trust was meant to be obeyed; and that meant a vote. I wrote the essay years ago; and at that time I had only done two commentaries; and 350 essays. Apparently, proof of initiation with so many insights does not sway my critics nor did it for my Instructor when he wrote his commentaries. No matter how sublime my Instructor was in his writings some novice would come along; and utter disrespectful lies about him.

The real truth is I was a Lodge Master of two Lodges (Menthu Lodge in Nashville and 93 Lodge in Albuquerque) directly under the Instruction of my Superior; and I was passed on documents that proved to me that I would have the responsibility of carrying on after his death. With the 93 Lodge in Albuquerque I had to step down to adhere to a new Lodge Master when I transfered there but he had a falling out with my Instructor where I became Lodge Master for the second time. What really, really did it was I reported to my Superior that I had retrieved all the documents back from the now fallen Lodge Master, Raven Moonsilver; and this was the right move at the right moment. I had stopped the possibility of secret documents from getting into the wrong hands. The magical energy increased to the extreme from then on in where I refer serious students to my essay called, “Waves of Energy”.

I do observe with no little interest how many of my old enemies are dead now. My worst enemies back then were those who failed my Instructor; or myself and tried to go public with claims that were outright lies. They would lie about my Instructor or myself; and proceed to lie about their true Grade. How pleased I was to see the majority of them die in their misery. I didn’t even take the time to spit upon their graves; and did not try to find out where they were buried suffice to be satisfied they were finally gone. Their legacy ended with them; and My legacy begins with Me.

So anyone who is new as a Thelemite who would hear my side of Thelemic history can be assured that I am not lying about who was who; and as one of the oldest Thelemites presently alive and working where I accepted the Law of Θελημα in 1972 era vulgari I am pleased to tell you what occurred.

Just make sure your letters are in proper format and you had better read my essay I titled “Interesting Thoughts” so you will be considered respectful enough to be worthy of my time.

Love is the law, love under will
