Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis | What is Thelema? | O.T.O. 101 | Horizon O.T.O. @horizon-oto | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Entelecheia discusses Thelema, the spiritual and religious philosophy animating all of the work of Ordo Templi Orientis. He talks about the Book of the Law and the view of the universe Crowley formed from it, with special emphasis on its implications for the spiritual and moral development of the individual.
Part of Horizon's O.T.O. 101 series in which we explain what O.T.O. is, what our philosophy is, and what our main activities are. The class series is intended to offer basic information to those on the periphery of our community who may be curious about who we are and what we do, or those who have been involved for a while but who are looking to fill in gaps.
