Good, think he will be worth your while. He gathered many paths to many treasure troves into his writings.

The story Ive heard is that his mother called him the Beast when he was small.

You could somewhat compare his stance on the Beast with Blake’s stance on Satan, though obviously they’re both too complex to take that very far. Both authors I mean.

Whatever else, Crowley stands at the threshold of a vast ancient world which comes to us mainly through him and the people around him - English aristocrats that spent their fortunes on gathering ancient magical knowledge at the beginning of the 20th century. Much was gained. For true understanding of his background, look into the Order of the Golden Dawn. The works of Israel Regardie are excellent. There is also a work by Regardie on his time spent with Crowley which Ive yet to read.

In any case I very much doubt there will ever be anyone who understands the Shadow aspect better than Crowley did - serving as it does in his work always the purpose of attaining the immaculate light.

Humanity does not live on bread alone, not directly or nakedly in nature like the animals, but also on the body of existential propositions and beliefs it gleans from the mythological universe in which it is embedded.

I am looking into your recommendations.

When I came to this image of Horus, the all-seeing eye of consciousness, on the thread, an owl outside my window hooted in the broad daylight of the afternoon.

Fixed_Cross · June 28, 2020, 6:52pm

Yes!!

Greetings to the owl, and to your, as they say “Holy Guardian Angel”.

“The ancient Masters didn’t try to educate the people, but kindly taught them to not-know.” Tao 65

The abyss of not-knowing is infinite.

It is represented by the Uroboros the dragon of chaos.

It is the circle prior to the separation of Yin and Yang.

The one who separates is called the Logos or the Tao.

This is consciousness, the Light.

“For the benefit of the roses, we water the thorns too.”

Part of an I Ching reading I just did:
The I Ching is a superior divination method, far more consistent than tarot. Online, oracles based on random picks work perhaps even better than physically.

A very dense philosophical tradition presents itself in the literary subtleties of the readings. Both my own experience and that of experienced magicians say that this is very reliable if you really need some insight into a situation. It is quite objective, and repeated readings within a short timeframe will be consistent with each other, if the concentration is held during the draw.

So much to learn, so little time.

I’m hoping you can read the future, and can tell us who will win the November elections.

Being as such and logic were revealed to Parmenides by the goddess.

Please excuse me if I can’t understand all this. I haven’t been grabbed by the balls, as Peter claims is necessary. So I guess that’s why the dead being more alive than we are, sounds spooky to me. I don’t believe in ghosts.

“And we can’t know the power of now,” as Peter states, “unless we go back to the primordial past, so we can know where the power of now comes from,” seems to me to not be living in the now, but spending time instead in the past, and not in the now, that none of us can escape from, unless we’re dead.

But then, since he, and apparently Jung, claim the dead are more living than we are, maybe they know the power of now more than any of us, since the dead, or at least some of them, lived back then, and are in the now, even while dead … as they’re dead NOW.

And nothing, or no one, better be grabbing me by the balls, I don’t care what spiritual primordial depths they come from. My balls are off limits, and have nothing to do with the power of now.

We can’t live in the now, unless we change with it every nanosecond. We’re not in the now if we hang onto it, or if we turn to any past, including the primordial one.

Jung will be gone in a generation precisely because he will be in the past, and not in the ever changing now, and is dead, and not more alive than us now … sorry to say.

Lol. You are your presuppositions. Jung is more alive to me than he ever was before.

But isn’t that just literary Jung? Or maybe you’re conjuring him :

Literature that doesn’t evoke the spirit is nothing but dead letters.

Fixed_Cross · July 2, 2020, 5:31pm

Excellent video, Felix.

It does take a certain quality of, say, minerals, to be grabbed by the balls by he truth; or maybe we can just say, it takes balls.

Jung, with a handful of others, opened a psychological paradigm and will be of importance likely 2000 years from now, if not beyond that. I don’t think it is technically possible for him to lose importance as long as there are humans with courage.
