Well, shit. I guess I need another Eshelman book.
Nonsense aside, thanks very much for your help and your overall work in general.
I get it now.
I have the utmost respect for Case. Honestly, temperament-wise I'm probably more like him than Crowley, though you wouldn't know it from experience here, I guess. That aside, I know Case was preserving the Rosicrucian tradition as it was, for posterity, at the same time Crowley was presenting innovations, reportedly from the same source. I don't see these wills in conflict.
This was something previously concealed. That's how I look at it. I can't remember the exact quote that hints at it from the old mystical texts, but the hint certainly seems to be there. "Correction" or "revelation," ...whichever. But it makes sense.
And that frustrates me because I like consistency-over-time and simplicity of explanation, and this change is very odd and difficult to try to explain.
But I guess I'll get over it.
