Can we get back to discussion of the Occult now?
I read an auto-bio of Crowley once.
Very smart man. Unusual character.
He tried so many different religions.
He even went on a Buddha binge once. Started to look like a Buddha too.
People accused him of being a satanist among other things.
He wasn't and he regreted not refuting the alegations after he was older.
He was an explorer basically.
He didn't take anything for granted. He studied ancient manuscripts and different religions trying to find the source. God, if you will.
He performed ancient rituals, (Very similar to the rituals performed by several saints and even by King Solomon himself), in an attempt to SEE something tangible that would prove to him that there was a world beyond the physical.
To prove that there was a Source for this reality.
To prove God.
But because people didn't understand, they accused him of devil worship and branded him a beast.
At the time, he enjoyed the privacy that gave him. Morons stay away from you if they think you'll curse their first-born son. But in his later life that privacy pretty much became exile for him.
He died a very sad and lonely man who had lived a most remarkable life.
Most people have a hard time grasping God through a single religion. He approached the Source from several paths.
Looking for the 'one'.
I hope he found it.
I believe he did.
Peace
