To tell you more, NASA founders were discovering fuel for rockets combining quemical experiments with witchcraft as they were direct followers of this shame of human, and all famous bands like led zeppelin Beatles black sabbath they are worshipping ALEISTER CROWLEY, and is not the only one. The majority of the humanity pray to satan so their idols are all demons, footballers, singers, politicians, religions, false idols for false people. That's why the only we can do in this world is refuse to have any power. Power is dangerous. Sodomy is self punishment that's what this people do, get powers from entities in change of pain hahahah ridiculous

Macdonald reported his sighting to Loch Ness water bailiff Alex Campbell, and described the creature as looking like a salamander. Crowley would only have been about 13 then.

    It was actually, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law. Love under will.” It’s the law of 93, or Thelema. So, it wasn’t about doing what you want while discounting everyone else.

    • @wolfil8019
      @wolfil8019 3 роки тому +13

      And the phrase "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" (as well as the word Thelema in relationship to that phrase) came from Rabelais. In "Gargantua and Pantagruel", a sensual, life-loving monk opens an abbey for men and women together that he calls "the Abbey of Thelema", and the motto over the door of the abbey was: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law". The practice of the abbey was basically the epicurian enjoyment of life. Crowley borrowed all of this from Rabelais for his own Thelemic practice.

    I went through a period studying Crowley's works during the 1980's and early 90's...I was already studying magic at the time but was very morally motivated and never wanted involvement in Crowley's system, until I stayed with a couple who were totally involved with Crowley's way...I became fascinated by their devotion to that path and wanted to learn more, so began reading some of his books...They were for me difficult reads as I preferred the more straight forward and safe approach to magic, by authors such as Franz Bardon, who was my so-called guru at the time, regarding the path of magic...Although this is a good and witty video and very well put together and narrated, things regarding Crowley and his works are a lot deeper and more meaningful than professed here...Also, at the time, as Crowley himself suggested, he was single handedly setting out to break down brick by brick and sometimes entire segments of the walls placed around peoples minds and the strict, tight and prohibitive social structures of Victorian England...Crowley saw himself as both hammer and wielder, charged by the Gods, to smash the prison walls to the ground and let the light of a new dawn, play upon the minds of men and revitalize the bored and rigid soil of social construct, holding everyone back from true exploration of self and world...

    Your research on this one is a bit off (understandably, he was a man who intended to be misunderstood deliberately). Crowley's works were allegorical political treatises on Anarchism, cloaked in religious terms to avoid censorship. "Spiritualism" was very fashionable back then, and was a hodge-podge of superstitions with no codified belief system. This made it easy to adapt to his message and lent some mystery and infamy. The more theatrical he got, the more his legend grew, the more his influence spread.
    He's hardly the first person to throw himself into a larger-than-life persona to reach an audience, taking his queue from Egyptian Pharohs, and many have done it since... A lot of his exploits are real, but many are also exaggerated. Imagine the "Satanic Panic" of the 80s, but way bigger. Picture someone like Marilyn Manson in Edwardian England, lol. That's the reaction he got, and he used it effectively by feeding into the hyperbole instead of denying it. People are easier to persuade in a state of shock.
    As to his philosophy, it boils down to "look out for yourself, don't trust those who claim to have your best interests in mind". He was an anti-government populist of sorts. He was extremely against violence, yet paradoxically advocated for it, mostly for rhetorical purposes, making such outlandish claims that people would adopt the opposite position purely out of disgust for what he said. If the devil tells you to do something, you do the opposite, immediately and secure in the belief you're doing good, even if you don't fully understand what you're doing or why. What's the truth, which parts of his life were just legend? It doesn't matter, he made so much effort to blur those lines, we may never pick it apart. But look at the results of his actions, rather than the actions themselves and you can see a distinct method to the madness.

    • @BlueMeridian

      So are you saying that he wasn't an occultist and that he never REALLY thought he could conjure up his guardian angel or Choronzon in rituals? That in fact, it was all allegorical politics with no real intention of magic at all? I would be very interested to know where you had got this from, I would love to hear more. I have been interested in him for years but I had always taken him at his word and never thought him to be anything other than someone who thought they were a magician. That's how I have always seen him portrayed anyway.

    • @gregoryrollins59
      @gregoryrollins59 3 роки тому +1

      You start off the way i was. Just a bit off, but he went straight off of Wikipedia which changed what they have said about Crowley. Crowleys biggest thing was the OTO Ordo Templi orientis with Carl kellnar and Theodore Reuss. Whom he met in Egypt. Wikipedia used to say Crowley talked to aiwass on 4/8/38 at the ashdown park hotel. I suppose he could of in Egypt as well. However you dont know the truth neither. Crowley was a baphomet plagiarist. Pretty much everything came from a book called the book of abramelin. Written in the 13 or 1400s. About a jew from worms, Germany and What is known as the abramelin rituals. Plus a book called mathematicall magick by John Wilkins in 1648. All these books and more are at Bodleian library in Oxford. Which I'm sure Crowley read while going to Cambridge. Its were Crowley got his k in magic. Crowley was just a thief and a liar. There was no aiwass. Just a plagiarist pile of vomit for a dog.
      Peace and agap'e.

Harris was beaten and forced to paint each major acarna card multiple times before Crowley approved of the artwork.
