“I believe in one secret and ineffable Lord; and in one Star in the Company of Stars of whose fire we are created, and to which we shall return; and in one Father of Life, Mystery of Mystery, in His name Chaos, the sole viceregent of the Sun upon the Earth; and in one Air the nourisher of all that breathes. And I believe in one Earth, the Mother of us all, and in one Womb wherein all men are begotten, and wherein they shall rest, Mystery of Mystery, in Her name Babalon.” MenBelieveEarthMotherFatherNamesI BelieveStarsSecretCompanyLordSunFireAirMysteryReturnChaosI Believe InBreatheSoleWombIneffable Author:Aleister Crowley

“The saints are like the Lord, but so are all people who keep the commandments of Christ; but those who live according to their own passions and do not repent are like the devil.

“In these respects we differ from the Christian world, for our religion will not clash with or contradict the facts of science in any particular... whether the Lord found the earth empty and void, whether he made it out of nothing or out of the rude elements; or whether he made it in six days or in as many millions of years, is and will remain a matter of speculation in the minds of men unless he give revelation on the subject. If we understood the process of creation there would be no mystery about it, it would be all reasonable and plain, for there is no mystery except to the ignorant.” IfsMenWorldGivingYearsMindMadeMatterFactsWould BeEarthChristianFoundProcessLordMillionsMysterySubjectsCreationParticularElementsSixUnderstoodEmptyIgnorantMade ItRevelationsReasonableVoidRudeSpeculationClash Author:Brigham Young
