2.1 Philosophy: Xeper




Description

This article is from the Temple of Set FAQ, by balfaq@xeper.org.

2.1 Philosophy: Xeper

- Perhaps the best discussion of Xeper available online is Magus Don
Webb's, found at: http://www.xeper.org/pub/tos/xeper2.html

- Balanone: Setian Philosophy centers around the Egyptian concept of Xeper
(often spelled Khepher), personified by the Egyptian Neter (god?) Xepera
(Khephra), a concept that can be translated to "self improvement," or
perhaps "Be all you can be."

Though that statement above seems simple enough, the study and pursuit
of Xeper has proven complex and long, intriguing and challenging enough
to keep Setians occupied for a life time.

- Apr 28, 1996, Priest Roger Whitaker, Xepera-l:

Xeper describes a methodology for manifestation. You cannot separate
yourself from the force which motivates one to Xeper. It is ingrained
within the many and varied paths which lead to it. Xeper such as it is
results in a deeper recognition of Self consciousness, i.e., the
uniquely human ability to sense its separateness within the body even
while it resides within it. This heightened sense of Self Being, itself
the result of polaric constituents - its me, in this other thing called
a body - becomes a building block of a personal methodology based upon
knowledge, intuition, learning and change as a result of the preceding.

The results of Xeper are manifestations into the world of ideas, art,
science and culture. For the individual the results of Xeper become a
metaphysical departure point for developing a bond with the Prince of
Darkness by creating a matrix of linked ideas whose path leads towards
the Genesis of Self Being.

You'll find another comment or two concerning Xeper in the REF document.
