Did Crowley See the origins Of The universe?

[albie]

I read he did, but the book did not describe it!

Anyone know, please?

 

[MorganBlack]

He sure thought he did, and can't shut up about it.

(And I say that with a level fondness and weariness. )

 

[HoldAll]

No but I heard he won a small sum in the football pools once.

OP said, "Did Crtowley see the origins of the universe?"

Yes he did, but there is only one origin of the universe— that being nonorigination.

Thanks but that image is blank. Why must Crowley mocketh me?

Aleister Crowley couldn't see past his own pillow while sleeping. He was just a man with a massive, overactive imagination, but in practical application, he is nothing more than another pile of nonsense added to the list of so-called mages. To witness the origins of the universe, a man would have to travel to the edge of the observable universe for 93 billion years at the speed of light—do you truly believe he did that? Furthermore, if we look at the truth, the origins of the universe are not 'nothingness'; rather, they spring from beneath the Throne of the Creator. We are merely a crystal of water surrounded by a boundless, stormy sea; everything in existence is but a drop in that ocean. Do not be deceived by fancy words, and answer me this: have you ever seen any actual benefit come from him?

The best parts of Crowley are the materials he "hoovered up" and synthesized - Buddhist dhyana, the Catholic mystical tradition’s "Interior Castle," Neoplatonism, and the very few fragments of the Papyri Graecae Magicae (PGM) they had.

But clinching Crowley's buttocks, too tightly (or any prophets, I would add) eventually range-limits the more mystical side of our tradition becasue he was an over-intellectualizing asshole, and possibly a sociopath. It left us with a sterile, dry interior life of concrete and bullshit where nothing can grow. Look at Thelema today, a dead guru cult.

Western Mystical practices as an ideal seek a balance of the The Good, The True, and the Beautiful. Without Love there is no point, and we just get stuck in the 9th Circle of the Forever Hell of pointless intellectual debates and Reddit-style autistic nerd one-up-manship. That's boring and a waste of a life.

(No offense to austists meant here, but over categorizing brains are not very useful here. Take up Enochian to give your busy-body left-hemisphere an extra heap of busy work to do).

Crowley produced some excellent work, but you wouldn't want to know him.
I'm pretty sure that I don't really care about any insights he may or may not have had about the origins of the Universe. It sounds to me too much like Fermat's "I have discovered a marvellous proof of this theorem, but this margin is too small to contain it"
