For those who know what Thelema is: thoughts about this? I've noticed a huge influence from Crowley's teachings, as is easy to notice. The entirety of "10,000 Days" is riddled with Thelemic undertones, not to mention that the song "4(degrees)" is a direct reference to the hierarchy within O.T.O. I see it all as one of the bigger concepts to take from Tool, being one of many.

A-fucking-greed.
It's almost a discussion on Alchemy and Thelema with some light mentioning of the artwork thrown in...keenly interesting.

This is true how ever none of the band members subscribe to any definitive Thelemic society.
Frat boys and all can be a benefit for some and a hindrance for others.
As for the Thelemic symbols i have posted several of them, in the puzzle thread... And more come as i learn more bout the way of reunification. The point behind the puzzle and the entire project that is tool i believe, is encouragement to walk the path, and the puzzle seems like an entertaining introductory method. for those interested, be willing to go beneath surface perceptions for they are incomplete,, and every phenomenon can be look at from different angles. For this reason investigation is necessary.
