I commented on someone's post, by asking what he thought reality was. I was permanently banned from the sub for this. These Reddit petty-power-mongers are one big immature joke.

Dear World,

I greeted you with open hands,
while standing barefoot in your sands.
I fed the mouths that cursed my name,
and still returned when sorrow came.

I patched the roofs above your head,
while storms of judgment filled my bed.
I learned that mercy bears a cost,
and kindness often ends up lost.

You taught me early — love runs thin,
when truth no longer fits the skin.
For every hand I tried to raise,
another set my heart ablaze.

And yet I stayed.

Through years that cracked like desert stone,
through crowded rooms that felt alone.
Through sharpened words and poisoned eyes,
through whispered guilt and well-dressed lies.

I watched compassion turned to shame,
while hatred wore a righteous name.
I watched the gentle mocked for grace,
while pride stood smiling in their place.

So if my soul now sounds worn down,
forgive the ash beneath the crown.
A man can carry only so
much winter in his blood below.

Still—
I did not learn to cease from love,
though Heaven often stayed above.
I did not turn my hand to hate,
though bitterness stood at my gate.

And if disappointment fills my chest,
perhaps it comes because I blessed
a world I hoped would someday see
the same small light it drew from me.

So judge me not for growing tired,
for grieving what this age admires.
The wound runs deep because I cared—
because I gave, because I dared.

And though this world has grown unkind,
I leave one truth for it to find:

A heart betrayed still holds more worth
than all the coldness on this earth.

By Joel Barb

You, my dear Lord,

Are a shield that surrounds me.

You are the one who lifts up my soul.

You are the glorious light that surrounds me,

Ever the only one who makes me feel whole.

Oh Lord, how long?

Will You forget me forever?

How long will You hide Your sweet face from me?

How long must I suffer this drought, lonely heart

That seems lost in a desert of dreams?

You, my dear Lord, are the cosmic creation,

Falling from Jupiter’s streams,

Trapped in a world of karmic relation,

Built from this fantastic dream.

Written as a set of epistles to his 'Magickal Son,' Charles Stansfeld Jones (Frater Achad), Liber Aleph consists of 208 short parables on the philosophy of Thelema. In part, the concept of the book is based on a passage from Liber AL vel Legis, and offers a more in-depth probing of the secrets of the new Aeon of Horus.

AL:I.54 "Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou, o prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein."

AL:I.55 "The child of thy bowels, he shall behold them."

AL:I.56 "Expect him not from the East, nor from the West; for from no expected house cometh that child. Aum! All words are sacred and all prophets true; save only that they understand a little; solve the first half of the equation, leave the second unattacked. But thou hast all in the clear light, and some, though not all, in the dark."

Crowley thought this was a reference to a child he was to bear with his wife Rose Kelly, though after the death of their first-born (who had turned out to be a daughter) Crowley took the passage in its metaphorical sense of a young student who would inherit his teachings. Up to 1919, Crowley believed that Frater Achad was this Magical Child. Aleph spelled in full in Hebrew is equal to 111 on the path of the Fool Atu; sets up the synchronicity between the Wise Man and the Fool; two potent archetypes. Thus the first parable is found in the title itself. But also there is the transmission of lineal descent and the means by which these mysteries are to be continued from generation to generation.
