A little help or suggestion on astral travel
-
You've been reading too much Kenneth Grant. - No, Crowley didn't start a lodge for that purpose.
-
funny, I have read quite a few of Grants books. Haha. Then how was it that he came upon the portrait of LAM? -

It's just a painting. Crowley was a surrealistic painter.

Well, I guess that puts a stop to my astral journey to the Sirius star system....So I take it Jim you dont have a lot of Grant in your Private collection, then?

Oh, I've got plenty. Some of it, in fact, is heavily annotated in the margins with out-and-out mistakes.

Answering that would mean going home and pulling several volumes off my shelf and going through them page by page. Not gonna happen! Definitely not worth it.I respect Grant in his role of Thelemic enthusiast. I respect him when he talks about history he actually experienced and reports interactions with Crowley and others that he actually knew.
I most other things, I have no use for anything he's ever written. Most of it is error-saturated, misdirected, and just plain wrong.

So in other words you dont think that he descovered the Tunnels of set, or whatever it is he supposedly proposed in his books? I enjoyed The latest Starfire Journal, and even thought about joining the Typhonian Order, Maybe I'll reconsider......

Yeah, that's one of the biggest pieces of shit. - BTW I'm not commenting on his fiction, I've never read any of it. (I mean, I haven't read any of his books that he admitted are fiction.)

"What would be the title of such a person qualified to instruct a person in Astral travel? I've had the same trouble as the OP and know no one personally who would be able to help. Should I be looking for a Yoga instructor or what?"
It's probably not a matter of title... but, to give one example, any Zelator of A.'.A.'. should be able to teach this if you have the preliminaries down.
