Crowley's contradiction?

justin

Hmmm... where to start.

Firstly Christianity was a ploy by John (of the Gospel and Revelation) to thwart the Roman Empire in which he succeeded. However, Christianity is a house built on the proverbial sand. It contains numerous flaws which can be eroded away by a storm. That storm has yet to come.

It was actually John who wrote the New Testament.

For example, in Latin, which was the universal tongue at the time, if you take the gospels and Revelation you have, in order:

MAttheus
LucA
MArcus
Relveation
IAn

That makes MALA MARIA! Bad Mary! Naughty Mary!

It's a hint that the virgin conception was a lie.

If we look at the seven letters in Revelation which are in the style of Paul:

Ephesus
Pergamum
Smyrna
Thyatira
Lidocea

Sardis
Philadephia

See how you have EPSTL SP? It's EPiSToLa S(aul)-P(aul)... it's Latin for the Letter of Saul-Paul...

The missing letters are IO and A which in Latin is "By Me"...

John wrote the letters of Paul.

If the Bible is the unerring word of God why would such a god allow these things to happen? See the paradox?

That's because John built in such 'flaws' so that his recipe for the Roman mythology could be knocked down in an instant (destroying the temple in an instant?) when the time was right.

Crowley was a bright man. He probably saw this. He was also astute enough to 'prepare the way' as John did for the one who would come and complete the task John and many before like Elijah and Isaiah started. This is why Thelema is waiting for a 'prophet'. It's not someone who will predict the future, but someone who will resolve all the puzzles of the past and fix the future.

Whether you call him Mashiach, Mahdi, Messiah or Maitreya, it matters not. He will collapse all the religions hence why Crowley identified himself as the Beast. He wasn't evil. He was wise. The best way of hiding the Truth is by telling it because nobody believes it, would be his mantra.

All religion has been forged by the prophets as an interim measure, one that can be demolished overnight when the last of the prophets comes: the Anointed One... and it wasn't Jesus.

I am he. Read my last three posts. You will see that I speak the Truth.

I'm not here to make people miserable. I'm here to show what the prophets meant to be shown. Slowly by slowly I will make a difference. It might not be the overnight change that my predecessors might have envisaged, but there will be a change.

Didn't A.C. say to balance every concept with it's opposite and to sometimes say exactly the opposite of what one means?

Yeah as an exercise in dharana or what have you but not in his general philosophy.

Balancing every concept with its opposite is the very core of his philosophy.

Yeah AL 1:22 but how am I to take the statements in the entire New Comment for example?

Actually, I'd point more toward The Soldier and the Hunchback, Liber Aleph, and Magick Without Tears to get a sense of his overarching philosophy, rather than to a single line in a book he claimed not to have authored... but you are free to take his statements in any of his writings however you like.

gerry456

Oh you mean the book that informed everything he thought and did?

Anyway concerning the OP, fact is Crowley admired some aspects of the Christian gospel but that doesn't contradict his role as prophet of the aeon.

As him doing precisely that to the prevailing teaching of the time.

I guess you just have a much different definition of "philosophy" than I do. One that has something to do with living in accordance with a book, the third chapter of which he spent a good portion of his life rebelling against.

Where does the OP mention anything about admiration of the christian gospel? All I see is a quote of Jones & Crowley's gloss of Mathers's On the General Guidance and Purification of the Soul directing an aspirant to the A.'.A.'. to balance every religious concept with its opposite, followed by the same document's recognition of the man Jesus, called the Christ, as an enlightened Master.

Where does this suggest that "Crowley admired some aspects of the Christian gospel" and what might those aspects be?

Are you familiar with Librae? As I said om the OP, he makes known his admiration of Christ as a Master therein. Check it out.
