The Black Lodge Papers

 

From The Coming Storm

by

The Institute of Hermetic Studies

Publishing and personalities dominate over traditions and lineages. And where lineages exist, they seem rooted in inflexible rules and dogma. This has given rise to the need to claim ownership of teachings and symbols. Copyrights have become the rule of the day; and the need to keep perpetual students the norm as traditions fail to generate teachers, and genuine spiritual masters, who can stand the heat of public pressure to demonstrate the power of the teachings.

From Apollonius

Motta wrote the Black Lodge Papers with Ray Eales pretending that he wrote them for H.O.O.R. This is his clever way to falsely claim a copyright to cover his inability to present any authentic teachings of his own. We could have fought this to maintain publication. But in their own words, this order shows you it's anything but holy and wholly mundane…a legal department in a spiritual order?! This is religious impotence. As a matter of fact, it was Ray Eales that once complained of the Caliphate O.T.O. that their claim to spirituality is based on the decision of a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Now this supposed holy order has a legal department with a 'Director of Copyright Enforcement'!
