No, not any of those groups, but I am more of a philosophical person. I am not attracted to anything that looks like a "religion".

I like that Thelemites place an emphasis on individuality and on a personal "guardian angel". I don't believe that this angel (if directly experienced) is anything other than a fragment of one's own personal psychology (like Jung's Philemon), but I like what it stands for.

I like Greek and Roman concepts of daimones and genii from the philosophical standpoint of referring to one's potentials in life. I believe that we need some concept of who we are and what we may best become in order to strike at least close to the target in life.

I value having a healthy and independent sense of self and taking responsibility for one's destiny. Self-esteem is one of my cardinal spiritual values.


eudaimonia,
