I can assume that there are many secrets that HK guards.
I wonder how House Kheretre will differ, what vows if any are taken.
I live away from Ohio and would like to start/be part of a local house Kherete.
Especially as in the last episode(don't try this at home kids) the painful process of taking on a new member to HK was elaborated on. And it is impossible to participate on that level.
Where do the pilgrims go?

Well, that depends on where you are.

Most of the Kherete houses are local to their areas, like HK is in Ohio.  Why don't you shoot me a PM, and I'll see if I can't direct you somewhere?

I'll of course also have some questions for you.  Talk to you soon!

There isn't exactly a "House Kherete".  There are different Houses under different names and in different parts of the world.  House Konatus is in New York, House Rosa is in NV, House Vespertine is in CO.  Any vows that are taken are up to the individual founders of the House, and membership requisites are also up to the individual Houses.  Some may be as strict (or moreso) than House Kheperu, some may be less.

At any rate, it will probably be a while before a full show can be done on the Kherete Houses *grin*  The 3 that were originally designated as the beta-testers are still growing/developing/establishing, so I think the hosts would like to wait until more time has elapsed and more playing with the material has happened and there is better evidence/theories to go on.

Really "House Vespertine is in CO." Are you sure this is in CO. That is where Sable and I live, and either I am the low man on the totem or we both are in the dark about this one.
We have been talking about starting a House Kherete by whatever name it must have here. It didn't match anything off the top on a google search.

Oh and another thought. Michelle told me that House Kherete would be the "open source code" version of HK That in and of itself is a topic for a mini program.
A discussion of the genesis of HK to HK_T; The lessons learned along the pathway.
The why behind the changes in the edict to perform subtle body alterations.
Many out here in dreamland still hope for an alteration, that in all reality is probably unnecessary.
Many of us want to be true blue HK; we want to know that HK_T is just as good.
(except we don't get to rub shoulders with MB and JC every day)
They are a hoot.

Yes, House Vespertine exists and is in Colorado, but they have chosen not to have a public/web presence as of yet while they work to establish a strong foundation.  I don't doubt that they will post an announcement when they are ready to take new members or public inquiry.

Um, I think you're missing the point.  There is no House Kherete.  While the administration has discussed the possibility of an online Kheretian House, it is a long ways off from actually happening, and not the focus of the project.  This is not a new House that HK is forming, this is not HK, part deux, and the Kherete Houses are not officially moderated or watched by HK.  This is a series of books and material written by members of House Kheperu, and other experienced folks whom they respect, that give basic advice for starting an independent House that may or may not follow the Kheprian ideology.  So there is no "just as good", as the current Kherete Houses that exist vary wildly from each other in approaches, and even the other 3 Houses that attempted to start were very different in approach.

As for hoping for an alteration...well, I wouldn't bet the farm that the HK alteration will ever be fully reconstructed.  Subtle reality has grown progressively more difficult to manipulate, so the things they could do then, many of them can't do now.  Some alterations may be possible, but they would most likely require a lot of study and very special types of individuals, if they were to be permanent and lasting over multiple incarnations.  Yeah, the "here's how we did the alteration" instructions might be released, but HK will not officially be conducting the alterations themselves.  I think it more important to look at just why you are hoping for "an alteration"?  What are you looking for it to accomplish?

I understand that, I should have clarified that I only use the Kherete name because that is what HK has called this project. I understand I will never be in any house Kherete mostly because we will pick another name for our group just as you have. But you must agree that it IS the word to describe the concept of what we are trying to do, especially as MB ET EL coined it.

This is cool, I had missed this subtle point. In my conversations with HK they said that the alterations were not presently in vogue. Most of us simply don't need them.
They did however say that there are some who it would help. It isn't a boilerplate requirement for inclusion in HK. I was informed that as an independent house we (whatever our name for the local branch of the H_K is)ians would not need to worry about the alterations unless we felt it was required.

This all came from a conversation that I had with two Elders of HK wherein I said, that my childhood was robbed by my past life memory, I could do calculus and I built my own radio station while in elementary school.
I told them I didn't exactly want any alteration.
They said that they have found many that simply don't need it...
Thus assuring me that I wouldn't have to alter others who like me simply didn't need it.
Good points though,
