Gnostic Saints

I am writing about more than sunlight, you know... although the swift-passing window of the Winter Day is no small matter either. These are the shortest days. And for many they are filled with hectic activity. For others they are cold and barren desert of Depression.
Lao Tzu writes: "Movement overcomes cold."

Translating this into one's own practice means that during darkest days of Winter, instead of hiding under a comforter and napping all day, one should keep active. Do many things even if you feel like sitting still - this is how one makes it through the worst Winters, even the most terrible Winters of the mind.

The converse  also holds true. During the hot days of Summer, or even the most hectic and anxious times of any season, one should seek to still the mind and body. "Keeping still overcomes heat."

The words hold not just literal truth for the thermostat of the human body. Properly applied, the words can govern our moods. They put into the hands the reigns of the intellect. Anxiety and panic are also ruled by the still Player.
  

'Other examples of deliberate action include his vision of small countries with few people, rather than large hegemonic states; and his alternative education models such as, "Don't educate the people, make them stupid."' - Cheng Man-Ching quoting Lao Tzu's Chapter 65.

Is this a good teaching for those who are highest in the inherent hierarchy of our planet?

As a fact, the strong and resolute will can arrive in a short time at absolute independence, and we are all in possessionof the chemical instrument, the great and sole Athanor which answers for the separation of the subtle from the gross and the fixed from the volatile. This instrument, complete as the world and precise as mathematics, is represented by thesages under the emblem of the Pentagram or five-pointed star, which is the absolute sign of human intelligence. I will follow the example of the wise by forbearing to name it: it is too easy to divine. - Eliphaz Levi

In the latest issue of Agape, Sabazius announces that Giordano Bruno's name is to be placed between Fludd and John Dee's name on the list of Saints, and is not to be italicized.

Elsewhere, it has been observed (by fraternovaeres whom I shall inform of this thread) that:

[St. Friederich] Nietzsche teaches us that there is no willing without an aim. You have to will to something. To be an effective commander, you have to set up goals for yourself, to coordinate your actions around an essential aim. Without this foresight, without a vision of what is to be done, there can be no willing.

I'd be interested to know how anyone reconciles this interpretation with Liber AL, particularly I:44. Myself, I find this vexing, but then I had similar philosophical problems with previous paths I've engaged as well.
