Am I to understand from your above words that you see Crowley's "duplexitous desires" to be born of his need for maintaining a monopoly, with himself ...

And he still has not. I'll cite the following from Keith Readdy's book (which I am surprised wellread hasn't done already): "Duplexity” is a fair...

I like the eerie luminescent "glow" here!

Well, the late great genius, Kenneth Grant once wrote: "A percept, a concept, or a number, any object, in fact, has no real relationship with any ot...

Ignant, of course you are correct. That was meant to be a joke. I was alluding to how general agreement or consensus on something doesn't ensure verac...

Don't care if it's off-topic. I would love to hear your stories and remembrances. There was a time when my (very small) Masonic study group took a "co...

KG describes Set as "the child of Typhon" understood from the "stellar mythos." From the "lunae-solar" mythos," he is the "child of Isis"-and the "bro...

backwards is O.J.-or orange juice...which brings a "Little Sunshine" to everyone. Apropos for the forums here! 🙂 Welcome aboard and we'll look f...

I believe I have elsewhere in this forum mentioned that I dislike the terms UPG, VPG, SPG etc etc. Again, I will refer to Wittgenstein. The proof (or ...

No.

Ultimately, it is all "UPG." Even when I bring forth all the junk to support my "claim" (which is what AC did with "On The Reception"), WHO is judgi...

I knew you would ask this. 😉 In a nutshell, the former would be akin to physically traveling through time ala HG Wells. It would, as you note, ...

Nor mine. I may be proved wrong but I was introduced to the term via AC's One Star. Have yet to see it anywhere beforehand. This is the penultima...

This may necessitate esoteric time-travel. I've always been a fan of this term. I think a precise definition, however, may elude us as we may und...

A quick technical question from ME...when anyone posts an image or graphic and I click on it, I am taken to a full screen of the Lashtal banner. If I ...

My allusion was to Crowley himself as having newly attained Ip-state i.e. the "New Ipsissimus." Not that one can claim attainment to that which one...

Isn't that "abrogate" "Old Aeon" stuff?

This is not quite true, though, is it? Even if one ardently believes that Sir Aleister Crowley was the appointed and anointed Prophet of the New Aeo...

But if we stick with the original 94 and read it in context of L-S-D = WAR ENGINE, it is also of interest to note that 777 has both "Destruction" and ...

🙂 Hats off to you for rounding out my reference and for the still very interesting insight. Interesting to note that WAR is RAW (Robert Anton ...

We ARE waiting! 😉 I will ask if you've read the late Jake Stratton-Kent's "The Headless One?" I had not until this past weekend, with a study gr...

"Write your true Will, it shall be the Law"

Is God to live in a Dogma? If poor (inviolate) Mary has to be torn upon wheels, let the Goose join the Gander. I will call to note that I disp...

OK. So we can't deny the "success of failure" because the intent was success. This has been the mantra. Unless you're Stephen King, the...

Because WHY? Which ARE...? Do tell... Please define "short time." This year? Before 2030 e.v.? By WHO or WHAT?

More often than most. Would this have pleased your Dad? Was it what HE wanted? I have been to all kinds of funerals and burials (Christian, Ath...

How so? Didn't happen. In fact, the KID didn't happen. THAT was my point. You ask, in a general sense: But this is not the "success" I...

It was a noble ideal-but one which AC, himself, couldn't maintain. His diaries absolutely fail in this regard (see John St. John for the many ways in ...

I would not as I am sure I would have been busy with potty-training. But I do fondly recall that period where ANYTHING I could find by Crowley at the ...

Perhaps "the Computation of Time is not here as There." (which remark, I'm sure, Crowley adapted from Psalm 90 v 4) This is rather sad as it se...

Nope. Just wrote you. It has simply been a busy time in the offline world! 🙂

Hopefully, she is lurking here, following along and may wish to consult with YOU regarding your own research! Would you kindly share these recip...

This is great and perhaps the discussion here will be of interest to her, esp. with Jamie's nitpickery (Blake wrote: "Opposition is True Friendship" a...

Were these the same "Gods" Leah referred to in her "really scathing letter, in which she criticizes him -- the letter in which she says that he's fool...

I thought the Key of Joy was Disobedience. And I thought the Joy of Nuit was to see our Joy. And I thought all was to be "To me! To Me!" Erg...

Good to hear from you, Chris!

I WILL mention that Crowley was not above responding to criticism in the same fashion.

In-Portent, In-Deed. I would imagine a might be appropriate for that Pilgrim whose fast and fleet feet find Him "Becoming The Way." After al...

I simply have some thoughts as to how your book may move from a developing project to manifestation. I will happily share these thoughts when commu...

You can reach me at kylefite@yahoo.com Please know-I am not offering to publish your book but have some thoughts as to how you and Anna may proceed....

I will and do deny it! I do not think Kenneth Grant was/is in a "Can-Do-No-Wrong" category. I think he is often critiqued from the wrong vantage point...

Not necessarily so. But this is an evasive reply. Instead of addressing the substance of what I wrote, you are making implication of an attitude of su...

You know, as no stranger to work with mediums or this line of operation, I find this "record" to be quite prosaic. I've been in this same space dozens...

Now, I didn't quite say it as such, did I? For those who can apply it, KG's work is remarkably and imminently applicable (i.e "practical"). I wou...

You're not anymore? When I first encountered it, it seemed to lack the intensity of other artists I was struck by (such as John and Sal Buscema)....

How do you define "fictive based approach?" I would assume "based in fiction" but how do you mean, exactly? Is not Crowley EQUALLY "fictive based?" He...

Oh, come on! I do not think you are "obnoxious" and I do hope you keep posting here! You're one of the gang! I'm simply being straightforward in regar...

I've read a small bit. Not The Fountainhead. I never knew Crowley had read it! I can't offer a thumbs up or down but will add that the Marvel Comic...

I think this echoes the perspective conveyed with my initial post(s) in this thread. It wasn't the glorious love-story, a romance for the ages, as pre...
