666: Connection with Crowley Quotes

“Sometimes, if the person’s ego is a bit stronger, he or she projects this threatening parent onto a spiritual leader or organization. The person either becomes a tyrant or lives in fear of other tyranny. We see this all the time on social media. People are continually posting items about how “evil” certain people and groups are, or they themselves are making dogmatic and righteous statements.”

“The author wishes to point out that following one's True Will results in forces (energies) being released in one's body and one's environment. These forces then very often trigger astonishingly powerful magickal results. In studying the lives of persons such as are mentioned above, one sees that through persisting in following one's True Will despite incredible odds, results are frequently obtained, first in attaining the security of having a roof over one's head. Then friendships can develop as well as sexual intimacy. One begins to develop self-esteem, as one is no longer living in constant anxiety and fear. As the magickian reaches upward toward self-actualization, he or she becomes more congruent, allowing for the effortless flow of the Singular Energy through him or her.”

“The dervishes (or Sufis) have a saying, 'The dervish is the mirror of the dervish.' In other words, the universe is the mirror of the magickian's unconscious. Remember that face and you will never be dismayed for all is your realm to rule. For all will be plain to you. Whatever you experience will always and only be yourself. Whatever you change within your unconscious will always and only be the universe.”

“The human brain literally became able to draw down the fire from heaven, in other words, to snatch a portion of Divine energy. This Divine energy had existed since the time when the Divinity convulsed in the cosmic orgasm call the big bang. The 'fluids' released in this energetic discharge were able to balance, or neutralize, the charge between heaven and earth.”

“Just as it was not necessary for Beethoven to know the science of the physical manufacture of the instruments in his orchestra in order for him to compose, it is not necessary for you to understand vortex based mathematics, fractal field theory, dodecahedrons, geometric solids, calculus, Fibonacci series, centripetal force, and quantum physics in order to become enlightened.”

“Theosophists refer to the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel as the Silent Watcher (the reader might here recall the author's suggestion to make self-observation or self-watching a major magickal goal). Another term for It is the Great Master. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn call It the Genius. Gnostics say the Logos. Zoroaster talks about united all these symbols into the form of a Lion (see Austin Osman Spare's work). Anna Kingsford calls It Adonai (Clothed with the Sun). Buddhists call It Adi-Buddha. The Bhagavad-gītā calls It Vishnu (Krishna is an Avatar of Vishnu). The Yi King calls him The Great Person. The Kabbalah calls It Jechidah.”

“Maybe the Bards function, and the function of story in general, is to constantly recreate us by re-observing us. The storyteller holds up a mirror to us, and he or she has great power to show us in a flattering or insulting manner. As we re-observe ourselves (and the author believes we are frequently distorting the image we have of ourselves) through the nightly news, advertising media (magazines, billboards, advertisements, and so forth), television, and film, we are the consciousness that collapses the wave function and recreates ourselves.”

“His [Crowley's] grief was profound. And he himself was far from the peak of health. It seems that all his recent traveling weighted heavily on his already weakened constitution from past illnesses. He was recovering from the debilitating after-effects of malaria, with raging migraines and throat pathology (for which he received surgery). Therefore, Crowley needed pain medication for an assortment of rare and exotic diseases and conditions. The fact that in Crowley's time certain extremely strong medications were regularly prescribed, even for polite and proper English ladies, does not deter Crowley's detractors from trying to paint him as a crazed drug fiend.”

“The One Thing can never be another thing, for then it would not be The One Thing. Therefore, the texture of the living braille of Reality may play with the senses, but it is only 'play.' For example, the 'words' in braille may be beautiful or terrible words, but the sheet of paper on which the braille is written always remains one sheet of paper. The Self-Realized Human Being (who in olden times was called 'God') transcends all religion, all opposites. As we discover our divinity, our inner and outer wars are transcended, as we are shocked to learn that we have been in love with both sides all along.”

“Our leaders may proffer various explanations about protecting us from terrorism, but the fact is that these leaders are worshiping a monstrous deity. Through the Oligarchical Cartels, as well as Corporatism (such as the Rockefeller Corporations) and through the Queen of England personally, a deliberate depopulation policy is being enacted. They are using substances such as depleted uranium in various United States international conflicts which result in severe birth defects. This increases the death rate through various radiation induced diseases, causing the men and women to become infertile. The result is that the family is broken apart, and the species becomes weak. Therefore, reproduction is severely reduced.”

“While psychologists will say that it is fear of rejection that stands between humanity and freedom, or deeper still, a public humiliation, the author believes that at the threshold to freedom, human beings (for some unknown reason - perhaps because of a collective trauma from the ancient past) imagine they will confront total annihilation. Nevertheless, maybe this is a good thing, for NO-THING stands between you and freedom.”

“Without naming anyone if you think for a moment, you will realize that some of the most well-known names on the spiritual 'lecture circuit' are scientists, not spiritual masters. A Ph.D. after one's name is almost mandatory to be considered an expert in some New Age circles, and the initials M.D., are almost equivalent to a kind of contemporary spiritual priesthood.”

“It is a tragedy of the 20th and 21st centuries that the works of the great explorers of the mind: Freud, Reich, Jung, Lowen, and many others, phase in and out of fashion, and are generally excoriated by the Religious Right, also known as the Christian Conservative Movement. The light and wisdom these men brought to humanity should be part of everyday reading, conversation, schooling, and especially child rearing. It is deplorable and a sign that humans in general are not ready to take the next spiritual leap forward, that most of humanity is still afriad of their own minds.”

“Orgone is the name given by Wilhelm Reich to a vital energy found on the earth. It is also called the Fifth Element. Wilhelm Reich was a psychoanalyst, a protégé of Freud, practicing in Vienna in the 1920s and 1930s. Wilhelm Reich's discovery of orgone began with his research of a physical bio-energy basis for Sigmund Freud's theories of neurosis in humans. Wilhelm Reich believed that traumatic experiences blocked the natural flow of life-energy in the body, leading to physical and mental disease. Wilhelm Reich concluded that the libidinal-energy that Freud discussed was the primordial-energy of life itself, connected to more than just sexuality. Orgone was everywhere and Reich measured this energy-in-motion over the surface of the earth. He even determined that its motion affected weather formation. Reich also studied the effects of the fascist society he lived in on individuals' emotional processing, and worked to promote more freedom. On November 3, 1957, Wilhelm Reich died in his jail cell of a heart failure.”

“At the time of his death, Crowley was taking heroin for asthma. It was a common medical practice at the time for doctors to prescribe heroin for asthma. He became addicted like anyone would. He later used heroin recreationally and sacramentally, as he did with many drugs including cocaine, hashish, ether, peyote, and pretty much anything else he could get his hand on to try. He was after all a scientist (he even trained as a chemist), a mystic, and a psychonaut. He, like Terrence McKenna, did utilize various drugs to explore consciousness.”

“Crowley recognizes that the magickian can share 'one general nature' with other beings, in other words, he is referring to the morphogenetic field that the magickian shares with others working members of a lodge, a spiritual community or simply through a shared harmony of purpose. For the morphogenetic field most definitely has its own Will, directing those in the field to follow its inexorable tug.”

“Crowley started painting in 1919 while in Greenwich Village, New York, Alesiter had extravagant tastes. By the time, he was a thirty-year-old, he had spent his inheritance. Nevertheless, he purchased the best quality oil paints that money could buy, for his new project, just as he always purchased the most expensive paper on which to write his written works. Crowley's image of Lam appeared as part of the Dead Souls art exhibition show of Crowley's art work in Greenwich Village, New York in 1919".”

“The magickian causes breath to enter the word. Written words are like dry bones. But with the shaking (vibration) of the wind (respiration) the bones shall live. The sophisticated manipulation of air molecules, in accordance with the alchemical instructions for the pronunciation of the God's 'Name' (usually only transmitted orally from teacher to student) thereby makes manifest, it brings to life, the Divine Being, the one who seemed to have died, before the one who intoned the Name.”
