Sometimes I've thought perhaps I was communicating with him across time, and I have had some pretty powerful memories when reading about him.

All are in simultaneous manifestation and potentiation, and this is why CHOICE, is possible, for we are the activators, the Observers, the Creator.

As you say, it is all a matter of perception. All is there, we merely have to recognize it.

I would also strongly suggest any divergence of assumptions on any Life-Stream's modus operandi, as external appearances can be incredibly deceiving and those of the mystical wisdom and who pursue it are incredibly known for making teachings "inaccessible" by making them unappealing to the masses, or rather, unreadable.

There are many, how shall I say, tantric truths contained within the ramblings of Crowley. Interesting, talks of being "deluded" by drugs, and whatnot, but really, who is not deluded by their own perception and consciousness?

The vessel was most appropriate for the information that was necessary to be revealed, for it was all part of a mechanism. He, how shall I say, laid the path of Darkness bare. Sometimes, beautiful entities choose to take on dark appearances, because someone has to do it.

Consider, the vast emotional reactions caused by Aleister's existence, the vast movements of energy which have spiralled out. What he did, was for the first time in many years, created a real blurring of the boundaries between the dark and the light. He is an enigma, and this is both his darkness and his light.

I will say, Aleister loved shock value, and I would take few of his words literally, and instead would look to energy processes and movements contained therein. Many of his so called "atrocities" were either simply added publicity, or were metaphors for sexual energetic interactions.

Perhaps I am "wrong" in saying all these things, but I suppose I feel I know something of mysterious, enigmatic characters, who knows.

Quote:Questioner: The entity Aleister Crowley wrote “Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law.” He was obviously of some understanding of the Law of One. Where is this entity now?

Ra: I am Ra. This entity is within your inner planes. This entity is in an healing process.

Questioner: Did this entity, then, even though he intellectually understood the Law of One, misuse it and have to go through this healing process?

Ra: I am Ra. This entity became, may we use the vibration sound complex, overstimulated with the true nature of things. This over-stimulation resulted in behavior that was beyond the conscious control of the entity. The entity thus, in many attempts to go through the process of balancing, as we have described the various centers beginning with the red ray and moving upwards, became somewhat overly impressed or caught up in this process and became alienated from other-selves. This entity was positive. However, its journey was difficult due to the inability to use, synthesize, and harmonize the understandings of the desires of the self so that it might have shared, in full compassion, with other-selves. This entity thus became very unhealthy, as you may call it, in a spiritual complex manner, and it is necessary for those with this type of distortion towards inner pain to be nurtured in the inner planes until such an entity is capable of viewing the experiences again with the lack of distortion towards pain.

Sexuality in its animal form, with its accompanying hormones and physical sensations, has its intention rooted in the instinct for survival and procreation. When one uses 2D animal limited sexuality for magik, or for attaining higher states of consciousness, one is combining things which don't resonate or are out of balance. Evolved sexuality would be more in balance with intentions of higher consciousness.

In our limited 3D perception, we are perceptive enough to easily grasp that there is power in procreation/sexuality because this act can create a new being. But the reality is that there is power in everything. It is our gross understanding that engenders a focus on such obvious power rather than grasping the more subtle understandings of our universe.  

This would cause a rift in my estimation. Sexuality itself would need to evolve past the basic animal/survival imperative to be balanced enough to use with higher intentions. The end results of such imbalance would cause addictions for instance.

Quote:I have very fond memories of reading Aleister Crowley’s autohagiography to Don. He did not like to read, so I frequently read to him. Once we got into this outrageous, brilliant man’s work, we were fascinated. Crowley is a fine writer, regardless of what his polarity might have been fumbling around with. Our favorite poem of his is a perfectly ghoulish nursery rhyme he wrote as a precocious toddler. It begins, “In her hospital bed she lay, rotting away, rotting away, rotting by night and rotting by day, rotting and rotting and rotting away.” Now that I have told you this, you may perhaps see why this character grew up to become … eccentric! But always interesting.
