When you ask Buddhists if they're trying to annihilate the universe and their own soul, they say that neither ever existed. Which is the wrong answer if you're trying not to sound like a crypto-annihilationist.Ego death, which isn't quite spiritual death. Ego death implies liberation from oneself to ascend to the trascendent one.
It reads as initiatory doublespeak: "it's not X, and if it is that's a good thing". They also have literal doublespeak through the Two Truths Doctrine, which says that while all things are "empty" (dependently originated, having no self-subsistent reality), they still speak as though that's not the case (for practical purposes).
The terminal nadir of deviant sexuality is also annihilationist; those types goon to visions of cosmic murder-suicide. They're in the same spirit. Just go check out the gooners on SoundCloud chanting penis mantras to Satan.
Ask @SerpentGrail; if he has any objection it'll probably just be that the end result is a "nondual state" rather than total annihilation (and probably getting Disney's "Ratatouille"'d by some demon), but from what I can gather that'd just mean he's below the final "degree", so-to-speak (not to mischaracterize his position).
Thanks for the information. Why gnosticism?Yeah, big time. There's porn sites for occultists. Even Epstein was doing it in his Phoenecian bath house, he would make business calls after reaching the point of near orgasm from exotic massages. I shit you not, furry conventions and other semi-orgy events like Renfaire have a lot of occultists there that get people for ritual sex.
The OTO itself has a lot of shit like this, one of the ladies at my local Oasis does erotic modeling for other members.
It's overall a great group to get into for people new to everything or those with experience, most Oasis' have a gnostic mass at least once a month. I'm going to one on Sunday in fact.
