The range of occult books in both public and academic libraries is far too limited. Reflection on what things were like before Amazon.com, I see now that the chain book stores would always focus on Self-Improvement books, where as Occult books were a staple of the independent stores.

Dougster's floating tax free and woman free utopia, and he forgot to mention about the young people being hired to provide blood transfusions.

But let me tell you about the kinds of libraries we are going to have in the organization I am building!
From Gordon White's "Chaos Protocols", page 52
"When it comes to selecting or determining preferred outcomes, there are two essential concepts that are frequently confused: possibilities and probabilities. It is possible that a billionaire with a heart of gold will leap from his limousine, dart through five lanes of traffic and propose marriage to you on your walk to work. But how probable is it? Failure to distinguish between these concepts is at the root of why the lottery may be legitimacy called a tax on poor people."
We have talked on this board about state loteries, and especially about California's.
More references:
about the daimonic
Serena Roney-Dougal. The Fairy Faith, Green Magic, 2003
White doesn't really go along with the 19th Century occultists who want to source everything in Ancient Egypt.

Actually, so far it makes sense.
So continuing here with Gordon White's "Chaos Protocols", mostly his references:
Grant Morrison's "Pop Magic"
Ioannis Marathakis, "The Magical Treatise of Solomon, or Hygromanteia, 2012
Adam Braun. "The Promise of a Pencil: How an Ordinary Person Can Create Extraordinary Change", 2014
Jocelyn K. Glei. "Maximize Your Potential: Grow Your Expertise, Take Bold Risks & Build an Incredible Career"
Paul Huson, "Mystical Origins of the Tarot"
In the 18th and 19th Century occultists wanted to source everything in Ancient Egypt. And so they say that playing cards were derived from the tarot. White is a huge tarot fan and tarot user. But he rejects this Egypt centered view. Playing cards came from the Near East in the 1300's. He feels that tarot cards were derived from these, adding the 22 trumps.
He also emphasizes that there is no line between games of skill and chance, and divination, and that these would have been illegal games, tavern games, maybe also with gambling for money. It is also just about learning to live in a probabilistic world. (FWIW, tarot decks have 4 court cards per suit, where as playing cards have only 3).
Russel Targ. "The Reality of ESP" 2012
From Charles Hugh-Smith, 2015
35% of Americans have debt in collection, 3/4's live paycheck to paycheck, almost 1/2 cannot cover a $400 expense without going into debt or selling something.
One in four college graduates still live with their parents.
The wealth accumulated by the top 1% in the years since 2008, exceeds the cost of all America's social programs combined.
Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew Mcafee. "The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies, 2014
From Catherine Austin Fitts, the total value of every stock market on earth in 1990, $11 trillion. Today it is $70 Trillion, and it is on track for at least $150 Trillion, as more countries launch their own exchanges and the emerging ones continue to grow, "securitisation of the entire planet".
lots of other references, especially to blogs.
White is extremely down on home ownership in inflated markets. Sees people who go for this as completely nuts. I agree.

But you do generally stand outside of the boxes with which most people restrict themselves, so, I gotta listen when you come up with something. And this is interesting to me. I frankly do NOT buy all the "magic" (and no, I'm not going to misspell it just for the book's author) shit. But I entirely DO buy a lot of the rest of what this book seems to imply. Simply the idea that our current financial system is geared toward helping the 2% exploit the 98%, seems to me a helpful thing to keep in mind, for instance.
Thing is, I don't want to buy the book. Will you post a PDF, or send me a copy, or give me a link to a free version, or just summarize it more? Thanks. Maybe an article in the Articles section at TUSCL?
In the organization I am now working to build, we will have our own libraries and they will never be anything like that. And besides book bought new, we will be accepting donations of books and buying lots of used books too.
Altering the spelling of 'magic' started with Aleister Crowley, to distinguish it from stage magic.
The idea comes from Hermeticism, particularly with the Emerald Tablet, and usually occultists are tracing this back to Ancient Egypt, or at least to the Hellenistic Era, the first four centuries C. E.

Some more authors I am looking at, just limiting myself to what is available in libraries.
Right here:
Sane occultism
What is occultism? / Dion Fortune ; introduction by Gareth Knight
Her stuff is always easily understandable and very level headed, she being a veteran of the Golden Dawn. Many occultists feel that their own work today would have been impossible without she and her writings
SJG.
Some people think very highly of this Patrick Dunn, and his "Postmodern Magic", something going even beyond Chaos Magic.

So many things are available full text online now, with the consent of the author.
But what I posted about was getting a broader range of books into libraries.

Where I work women have do real work just like men. Many are attractive, but some are not. But it doesn't matter because we live in the real world. We hire them to do real work so we can make some money. I haven't noticed a correlation between looks and able to do real work. So there are definitely some "not stripper grade hotties" where I work. And a few who are. If your imaginary church is "stripper grade hotties" only, it just more evidence of your misogyny since you see the roles for men and women as being so different.
Number of members = 1
Number of sane members = 0
So what I want is the opposite of the all male pre-cryogenic utopia Dougster wants.

Run, Lloyd, run!
It all makes sense now. I won't put him on ignore as some of his content is funny, but I'll just ignore most everything he writes.
