20 posts held, back to 15 December 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 27 March 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
181 reactions across 20 posts, in 8 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 26.5% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 181reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 15 December 2024 to 27 March 2025, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
There once was a distinguished gentleman whom the townsfolk respected as a holy man, for his actions and words were always in good form, blameless, the picture of virtue. Yet despite his efforts, the lower elements of the town increased continually. One day, this purported holy man was walking with his daughter to the market when they were held up by bandits, who immediately recognized the famed man. They asked the m…

Necessity is the highest Goddess, and we must answer to Her. Her form is not always noble, so why do we fool ourselves into thinking that the conduct of noble individuals or the noble state must always appear to be of a noble form? For, what is nobility but the acquiescence to higher principles? Thus, the noble acquiesce to the thunderous or unsettling forms of Necessity when it is time to, and they sacrifice their o…

UPDATE Orthodox Temple of Natural Religion is switching its focus from online ministry to local ministry. What this means is that we will no longer offer catechetical programs nor host meetings for online members. Those who were members enjoy the privilege of contacting me or using their resources to assist them in their private spirituality. OTNR will offer training for priests for a considerable sum of money (at l…

Let's answer the question: Why is sex a matter of morality? Two reasons: Firstly, it is our moral duty to have goodwill for all people for their own sake (as a matter of respecting the dignity they bear as creations of God, and as a matter of realizing divine perfection by extending goodwill to the world in the same fashion the Good Itself and Zeus the Shaper do). We must have this fundamental goodwill for others rat…

Secondly, we must keep our mind situated in what is real. This means using reason, meditation, and movement. By reasoning, review the doctrines of true freedom, benevolence, the intended and natural function of the genitalia for procreation, the metaphysical truth of soul as real and body/material as illusory, and the metaphysical truths of the importance of spiritual purity. We have discussed the first three items o…

I recommend reading Plato's Alcibiades I and Gorgias for good reflections on the reality of the soul if you need help in this matter. Plotinus is another great luminary on the soul, but parts of his work can be challenging to parse through. The Buddhists practice an excellent technique for reminding themselves of the impurity of the body called asubha meditation. When they feel lust, they instead reflect on the reali…

The process of sexual purification is a long one if you can achieve it in this life and takes many lives to overcome in the first place, and you must accept that you will have failures and not go too hard on yourself, because going hard on yourself is only going to make you feel negative and seek out the dopamine-flooding stimulus that brought you to that state in the first place. In order to break out of that loop o…

Elder Drákontos's Moderation Advice and Teachings Q: Hey, Elder, I want to ask you for some advice if possible. I noticed out of the four virtues my weakest is temperance. I am doing my best to fast and meditate to better myself into a more moderate person. Do you have any advice or other practices to help me on this part of my journey. A: Hi! I think the key is to know when enough is enough, to “Know the Measure.”…

Beyond the marital obligation, it is important to try to abstain from sexual activity for your physical and mental health and your spirituality. This effort may take many lives, but it is the standard we must bear morally, and it is the hallmark of a spiritually purified/perfected person. You should not go hard on yourself if you are struggling in this area (masturbating once a week for example), because the body doe…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @templeofthehermeticone. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 315,007 of 1,481,217entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 14 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
