Aleister Crowley in Quotes

[Healthy Merking]

whatever you do

DO NOT FORGET TO FACTOR THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY on everything you study


part of the significance of crowley is that he is one of the first occultists to have access to the printing press




find a picture of hitler online
take a look at his face
this may seem superficial
but
there is no way possible that a man who looks as obviously insane as he is would get anywhere close to a public office



the thread you are looking for is called salesmanship
it is also called black magicke
it is also called putting pressure on others to get your work done
instilling fear
baiting


the influences are far too wide spread
if you read a lot of robert anton wilson
you will find that at the end of the trail
it looks like EVERYBODY was in on it


as far as crowley goes - you can see influence from neitzsche and the philosophers of his era


and also
some of crowleys lesser known contemporaries were more subtle in their works
but
you cant mistake the impact of mid 20th century existentialists (sartre and camus etc)
on certain ideas that have become popular
(you can see them as the seeds of kurt-cobain-culture if you want to look at crowley as planting the goth seed)



crowley knew (knows) how to appeal to the part in most north americans that want to confront the 'monster' that they were scared of as a child

they are still scared
and will peel off layers and layers
only to find more layers
covering a mass of nothing

what do you have ESP(N) or something X?

Is schizoidal splintering/madness a symptom of our society? Or just this investigation?? I prolly have read way too much RAW because everything seems connected in ways more basic than I can comprehend...Sometimes it does seem like everyone is in on it, especially when I can't find anyone to talk about this shit with.

BTW...I am a salesman...not by education rather through circumstance...but nonetheless I would like to apply the science & art of this magick to my job. At lthe very least it will make the days pass faster here at DowJones

aleister:

MAGICK is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will.

RAW:

It is my Will to inform the World of certain facts within my knowledge. I therefore take “magical weapons”, pen, ink, and paper; I write “incantations”—these sentences—in the “magical language” i.e. that which is understood by the people I wish to instruct; I call forth “spirits”, such as printers, publishers, booksellers, and so forth, and constrain them to convey my message to those people. The composition and distribution of this book is thus an act of MAGICK by which I cause Change to take place in conformity with my Will.

PS: regarding monsters...I ran away from the home of a real monster when I was 10 and never looked back...But here's always the subconscious desire to face up, fight & conquer though, isn't there???

I feel like I'm going in the right direction when I have more questions than answers

yes

redemption



its not just a subconscious desire
rather
it is an obstacle that one must go thru
(and from what i can see - the hardest part must be done alone
solo mission)

just you and the monster
you and the machine




(you are the machine?!?!)



death has so many synonyms and metaphors

HAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA


maybe you know how i feel then
when i find a scrap piece of paper in my coat pocket that says
"once you unveil the illusion of control
there is nothing left to do on this planet"


and i couldnt even remember writing that




i think it was last week some time





the only people to talk about this shit with exist online first

these discussions are not possible in real life

it is easier to trust a font than a voice
(and especially eyes)

[jonnygemini]

plus I can't formulate these thoughts while I'm speaking

you know what I'm saying?

My brain works a little slower than that

I had a good chat with U7 on Friday night...we had like 4-5 different conversations going on at the same time with that personal msg thing...then I took 2 nyquil cold and passed the funk out

Many thanks X...for continually reminding me that it's this journey I seek not a destination

[Healthy Merking]

i hear that



there is a destination tho
(in some way)

its just that its really fuckin descreet
and subtle
