PEACE: Is anyone else besides myself troubled that Crowley was greatly influenced by Madame Blavatsky's works?  |

there are a lot of things troublesome about Crowley none moreso than the fact that his research seemed to lead him to heroin and insanity I am somehow familiar with Crowley's work. One of the most prominent European occultists, I read he was the Queen's advisor. Dude was nuts was all into magic, psychedelics, the Hermetic order, the A.A., the O.T.O. and God only knows what else. He was also a self-admitting homosexual. However great people consider his writings I say overall he was an unbalanced individual. I don't necessarily like reading his stuff because it is all related to the genuine Kamitic cosmogony that influenced his writings but took over his spirit. His translations are in my opinion a little misleading and incomplete. X I know you used to read Crowley alot I ain't knocking everything he's ever said and wrote, one could still learn something as with everything else but to me he is not a man or a sage that I personally look up to. Sometimes for certain individuals it is not safe to dig into certain knowledge. His book of the law influenced by the deity Aiwess which he himself says is the Egyptian Horus. I'm not feeling how all these fag occultists take the beautiful spiritualities of ancient Kamit and turn it into their own secret, magic junk! ... is what I can say about the topic at hand. PEACE |

out of control
i give him some marks for effort, but he seems to have bit off more than he could chew in his lifetime
it is questionable as to how seriously he actually took himself

4 real, I've noticed this with a couple of people now.... which shows that only a spiritually mature person (sage) is able to handle the responsibility that comes with the possession and ability to manipulate spiritual power embodied in the sekher, binah, 3rd sphere of the tree.
there is two sides to the good side. how can a wicked man like Crowley get access to God's kingdom?

Nice convo and you're both right. I won't go into detail because my mind is in a personal place right now so my words our short. B.u.t., you're both right.

PEACE: Is anyone else besides myself troubled that Crowley was greatly influenced by Madame Blavatsky's works? Peace Samurai! This goes deeper than most think. To see what I mean, look into the intricate connections between Aleister Crowley, Arnold Krumm-Heller, Carl Kellner, Theodore Reuss, Samael Aun Weor, Manly P. Hall(I find it very interesting that neither SAW or MPH, both self-proclaimed White Lodge Masons who were both WELL aware of Aleister Crowley, NOT ONCE so much as mentioned AC in any of their dozens of books even though they both had mentors who are documented as having interacted with AC), John Yarker, Cagliostro and his "Egyptian Rite", the SRIA and the Golden Dawn, The Theosophical Society and the Dalai Lama(the Dalai Lama's first English-translated book was published by the Theosophical Society and in the forward to it the Dalai Lama wrote about his strong connection to the T.S., and also Blavatsky's first book on Mahayana(The Voice of the Silence) was printed under the auspices of the Tashi or Panchen Lama himself(said by some to be more powerful than the Dalai Lama), Gurdjieff, the Sufis, and Hitler, the Vril Force, Kalachakra Tantra, Shambhala, etc.). Once again, I'm no longer a Samael Aun Weor fanatic, although he wrote some very interesting and even useful things so long as one can maintain perspective and not get sucked in(as with everything else): H.P. Blavatsky and the Panchen LamaAll of this is strongly interconnected.  Although I don't think I'm up for the task of connecting it all together, unless I can view it all panorama style in the Akashic Records. ;D |
