"Do what thou wilt" - a brief examination of Aleister Crowley

[Diana]

It sounds to me as if AC was self-indulgent, and focused on an animal part of our nature bringing the whole being out of balance. 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.
