Commentaries On The Holy Books And Other Papers The Equinox

Book: Commentaries On The Holy Books And Other Papers The Equinox by Aleister Crowley

This Volume of the Equinox contains much more than mere Commentaries to the Holy Books, it contains the essence of Knowledge that Crowley was capable of, woven into the structure of the Commentaries, making this the companion to every man's life-style. The Commentary for Liber LXV encompasses the means to invoke one's Guardian Angel in the simplist method possible. The Voice of the Silence' Commentary manifests the inherent differences between the Brother of the Right and Left Hand Paths and every other matter of the Crossing of the Abyss, concentrated within the scope of comparatively nothing -- he has extracted the needed material to the smallest possible space. There is knowledge offered in this Volume nowhere else able to be found on the nature of Crowley's Philosophies.

This is an incredible book, and not only because it begins a new volume (IV) in the Equinox journal of scinetific illuminism. It makes available for the first time, on a large scale, several important commentaries on the Holy Books, as well as the founding documents of the Ordo A.'.A.'., by whom this book is edited. In more ways than one this book may prove to be to the Ordo A.'.A.'., what the Equinox III 10 was to the O.T.O. It is definitely one of the books every self respecting Thelemite must have on his book shelf. I would highly recommend this book as the second most important book by Aleister Crowley, the first being "Magick Without Tears". A MUST READ!!!!!

The Rights Of Man

What does marriage really mean today? Ask the people who claim the label. It’s different for every family.

Man has the right to live by his own law.

Individual people make marriage contracts with each other. The purpose of the agreement might be toward the end of raising children, or of domestic economics, or romantic love, or religious sacrament, or meeting naturalization requirements, or hospital visitation rights, or formalizing the bonds of kinship, or many other things, or some combination of these, or none of them. The state oversees and enforces these contracts, but it has no business dictating how these contracts should be written, defined, or what classes of people may engage in them, except to prevent enslavement. There shall be no property in human flesh.

At the same time, while marriage should only be a matter between those who are married, this means that other organizations would not be required to observe or respect the terms of your marriage. Other communities of people, churches, and so on, would be equally free to have their own traditions respecting marriage; to live by their own law. Your right to live by your own law extends also to those who would not recognize your marriage in living by theirs. The Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica may recognize and celebrate same-sex marriages, but the Roman Catholic Church would not be required to confer benefits to the same-sex spouses of its employees. In his “Considerations of an Open Letter to Labour,” he explains further that religious freedom shall also be absolute so long as they do not unduly influence people:

“Religious propaganda, social movements, political agitations, shall be only permitted on proof that their principles are not repugnant to individual liberty as provided by the Law of Thelema.

“The practice of all religions shall be permitted, but the use of Supernatural threats or promises to influence the will of another person unduly shall be held fraud and duress in the one, punishable with imprisonment, and in the other self-disrespect, demanding a course of treatment in a State Asylum for training the Will and developing the sense of self-hood.”

The redefinition of marriage will naturally raise a lot of questions about benefits. All this must be reevaluated in the light of the sovereignty of the individual. No longer would marriage confer tax benefits designed to encourage procreation. The overhaul of existing laws would have to be extensive, far beyond the scope of this one blog post, as Crowley indicates in various places throughout his “Considerations of an Open Letter to Labour.” For a couple of examples:

“Repeal all laws which assume that mankind is a herd of cattle. State insurance, pauper laws, registrations, conscription.”

“All laws which assist men to obtain undue influence upon others must be repealed, e.g. the bankruptcy laws, the libel laws, and the divorce laws.”

Now that we have raised all kinds of huge questions about Aleister Crowley’s political vision for the future of our country and our children, we will change the subject to something funnier.

How To Use Magick With A Straight Face 8 New Science

Those that cannot extricate themselves from old mechanistic views need an excuse to allow the placebo effect to bring them success. Ironically, the same discipline which made magick so difficult can now provide this excuse. Scientists are exploring some new ideas which depart from the founding mechanistic paradigm. Ideas consonant with the magickal paradigm show up in Jung's synchronicity, quantum physics, the Gaia hypothesis and the morphogenetic field hypothesis (see Rupert Sheldrake's "A New Science of Life"). When these views obviously challenge the traditional mechanistic paradigm, they are a source of hostility or amusement. When the challenge is more subtle, people ignore it. Never the less, the West is gradually turning toward a view more in tune with magick. With greater frequency, people are willing to consider the idea that we affect our universe on more than just a physical level.

Scientific evidence now supports the idea of non-physically affecting your environment. Quantum physics suggests that an experimenter's goals seem to create whatever particle he's looking for. The morphogenetic field hypothesis suggests that actions affect all other actions to the degree that the circumstances are similar. This explains why it becomes easier to grow a certain type of crystal over time and how new animal behaviors "jump" from one isolated population to another. Science is continually finding support for things that metaphysicians have said for millennia.

If your respect for science is such that you cannot take magick seriously, do some research into these areas. If you can find an acceptable explanation, then you can respect magick. This respect is essential for success. But don't look for "proofs." The concept of magick is nebulous. It's designed to explain the way things are. "Contrary evidence" only shows that you misunderstand. Change your definition to include the new evidence.

Magick can never be proven wrong because it can't be pinned down. Since it explains a subjective reality, it can never be proven right, either. The magickal paradigm will confirm any preconceptions, so the mechanistic paradigm will look "true" if that is what you expect. Since it also postulates so many unknowns in the mind, this paradigm states that what you get is what you expected. As with so many things, you will believe if you want to and you won't if you don't want to. But when you're on the fence, the right explanation can help you accept the possibility. Only then you can honestly try magick. If you experiment with a negative attitude, it is the nature of magick to confirm this. Magick works best for those practical enough to be skeptical, but open minded enough to give it an honest try. If a part of you is genuinely interested in magick, work to become comfortable with it. Start with simple and harmless work. Leave the embarrassing stuff for later, after you've seen it work and you don't care so much if your friends find out.

Avoid getting too involved in the "explanations." If you need one, pick whichever you like. It doesn't have to be any of those here. Each has to build his own models. In any case, reality transcends the understanding of waking-consciousness, so any expressible explanation is "wrong" in the traditional sense, anyway. For a good illustration, try to "understand" wave-particle duality in any but a mathematical sense. It's as impossible to picture as a four dimensional cube.

However the universe "actually is," always act in a manner that is responsible in an obj-ective universe. If this were not essential, people would have abandoned the objective universe long ago. Objective or subjective, there are many empirical rules of behavior that we all know. Magick doesn't change these rules. Don't drive crazily because you've done a protection spell. Don't spend unwisely because you've done a prosperity spell. Don't jump off a building because you've done a flight spell. Remain within these rules and you loose nothing by acting as though the universe is subjective. You should not be doing anything you don't want to do in the first place, because such acts are pointless in either universe. If the universe is objective, then you have had some harmless fun. If the universe is subjective, then you have the chance to get anything you want. If you approach it properly, you can't lose.

Goddess Isis

Tweet

"ISIS" IS THE ANCIENT GODDESS OF MAGIC AND HEALING; SHE IS KNOWN AS THE QUEEN OF THE THRONE. SHE IS PROBABLY THE BEST KNOWN DEITY OF THE EGYPTIAN PANTHEON. SHE HAS GONE BY MANY NAMES AND PLAYED MANY ROLES IN HISTORY AND MYTHOLOGY. SHE IS THE FEMININE ARCHETYPE OF CREATION, AND SHE RULED OVER ALL MATTERS CONCERNING MOTHERING, LIFE, AND SORCERY. SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF GET AND NUT AND THE SISTER/WIFE OF OSIRIS.

ISIS IS DEPICTED IN HUMAN FORM CROWNED EITHER WITH A THRONE OR BY COW HORNS ENCLOSING A SUN DISK. OCCASIONALLY, A VULTURE IS ENCASED IN HER CROWN. SHE HAS ALSO BEEN DEPICTED AS A KITE ABOVE THE MUMMIFIED BODY OF OSIRIS. SHE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIVER NILE. SHE JOURNEYS IN THE MOON BOAT WITH RA, THE SUN GOD, AS HE TRAVELS FROM THE WEST TO RISE AGAIN IN THE EAST.

ISIS IS THE ULTIMATE WIFE AND MOTHER. SHE LIVED WITH OSIRIS UNTIL HE WAS KILLED BY HIS JEALOUS BROTHER, SET. AND ACCORDING TO MYTH, ISIS FOUND HIS BODY IN PHOENICIA IN A TAMARISK TREE AND RETURNED IT TO EGYPT FOR A PROPER BURIAL. AFTER SET'S SECOND ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF THE BODY, ISIS BROUGHT OSIRIS BACK TO LIFE AND LATER CONCEIVED A CHILD WITH HIM, HORUS.

ISIS REMAINED POPULAR IN MYTHOLOGY EVEN IN THE DAYS OF THE ROMANS AND THE GREEKS. TODAY SHE IS WORSHIPPED MANY CIRCLES AND THE TEMPLE OF ISIS REMAINS A POPULAR ICON TO THIS ANCIENT EGYPTIAN GODDESS.

"I ISIS, AM ALL THAT HAS BEEN, THAT IS OR SHALL BE; NO MORTAL MAN HATH EVER ME UNVEILED." - INSCRIBED IN THE TEMPLE OF ISIS

ISIS CAN COMFORT US WHEN LIFE SEEMS DARK. WE CAN GAIN INSPIRATION FROM HER ENERGY AND DETERMINATION TO FIND OSIRIS. WE CAN UNDERSTAND HER TEARS AT THE LOSS OF HER BELOVED AND WE CAN FLY WITH HER AND CELEBRATE IN THE FINDING OF THE TAMARISK TREE. WE CAN SEE HER AS ONE WHO GENERATES THE LIFE-GIVING BREATH IN HER WINGS.
