The reward is the 5=6 attainment in Tiphareth. The Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. Horus is an image, a "visible object of worship", representing that attainment.ravenest said:
Lets put it this way. What happens if you insist on working against your own Will, your own Angel? The result is what we call Karma. It is those experiences, sometimes painful, that are designed to steer us back in the right direction. But it is not punishment.Grigori said:
Suddenly he pulls a handbrake turn and starts driving the wrong way down the road. Naturally there's a lot of on-coming traffic. Grigori grips the wheel and desparately tries to dodge the other cars. "Where the hell did all this traffic come from? Why am I being punished like this?" he yells. (Well duhh! Isn't it obvious? ) I guess a lot depends on who is writing the road rules. I'm more comfortable with a karmic balance which is in my understanding devoid of judgements in terms of good and evil bartered for rewards or punishments. Maybe that can be seen as accepting what is, rather than a focus on some imaginary ideal, wrapped up in a one size fits all jumpsuit.Aeon418 said:

When did morality come into it? We're talking about the Will here. The natural orbit of your Star. You can either work with it, or against it. And if you choose the latter then you suffer the consequences until you correct your course. Karma, cause and effect - natural Law. Not some petty human concept of Justice. Isn't this why Crowley decided to rename Atu VIII Adjustment?Grigori said:
The corresponding Hebrew letter, Lamed, is spelt Lamed - Mem - Daleth, LMD. The total value is 74. That number should be ringing Middle Pillar bells right now.Grigori said:
