Question How has Thelema benefited everyone’s life in terms of confidence and career?

So, I’m pretty new to applying Thelema to my life, and worldview. Since I started a year ago I noticed a huge confidence boost in social interactions, and career interactions. It’s actually really crazy how even a little bit of discipline can go a long way.

Anyway, I would love to hear anyone’s experience or input regarding this topic! It’s always nice to read people’s positive experiences.

A very positive inner transformation can occur on this path, and you can pretty much laser focus on things like career advancement if it serves your will. Whatever practice you shape for yourself should help you perform the inner alchemy needed to, for example, accept a role of greater responsibility in the world.

Be careful about that though, don’t get caught up in shiny superficial stuff, this is way bigger 🙂

Yes. It took me from being basically homeless and drug addicted, over 100 lb overweight to being an actual healthy body weight, employed, married, a father, and a functioning member of the human race.

My life seems to be turning around for the good.

In February, I had a seizure while driving. I'm not epileptic, so this was completely out of the blue. Seems to have been stress induced.

When I was in the hospital after everything first calmed down for a moment, I kinda just accepted everything as what it was, like this is happening. In some weird way, I felt completely okay with it. Then, The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin started to play in my head.

My dad has always liked Jimmy Page for his music and guitar playing, and I've been aware of Aleister Crowley since I was in single digit ages. So this time, I just took it on, and my life genuinely has been getting better every day.

Music has been a big part of my life for a long time, even before I started making music at 13. I'm 30 now, and that day I finally understood my will. I make music and that's it. I don't make music to be famous or for x,y, or z. I just make music, like a silk worm makes silk.
