To: thelema93-l now @egroups.com From: nagasiva@luckymojo.com (nigris (333)) Subject: Re: 93! and The New Thelemite (was Of Cheesecake...) 49990811 IVom E6 and Fuck You! a correspondent writes: # Namaste, and thanks; Fuck You too! :> so good to hear the Word of the Aeon in Thelemic Greetings! my correspondent adds to the cultist analysis and I integrate hir suggestions in this preliminary table: CULTISTS GREETING CLOSING --------------------------------------------------------------- Buddhists Namaste/Namaskar In metta, (esp epistles) Christians Peace be with you.(re: And also with you.)

I'll post this to usenet and see how many more I can gather. thanks for your contributions, rose. you're at the top of the credits list. # > blessed beast! # # How do you stop your own 'unconventional' greeting/closing styles from # turning into just another convention? I'm just (eternally) curious! it is so very good to see your posts again, kindred! I think that I dissuade my expression from becoming convention by assaulting mimicry and conventionality. to undertake them in my wake would seem to be a rather painfully willful enterprise either to foster something I might myself oppose (a following, etc.) or to niggle me for the purpose of irritation (largely fruitless because I will eventually see through this and begin to ignore/encourage the act until it dissolves). ultimately I don't do much, because I don't find that there are many who want to undertake the effort of snatching a small aspect of my expression and meme-seeding it into conventional behavior. I change my format depending on culture of commentary (subject- matter), inculding name and, often, typographical structure. this cultural involvement has its ebbs and flows (I have all but ceased my involvement in muslim discussions, for example, only due to technical limitations -- I can't get this fucking ELM email program to only recognize my user-defined 'From:' field). perhaps it also helps that I am objectionable and gruff at times with those who I (sometimes mistakenly) perceive to be engaging leader-following, especially of my person. shadowing is rude and homages to me are more welcome when they take the form of being true to oneself than attempting to reproduce my shifting and sometimes objectionable form. # 108 Panchanga Pranams to you, hallelujah! may the 18 monks bless you with perfect happiness and true wisdom, blessed beast! nigris (333)
