Was this guy a larp?
>>42994837indeed read a few books about him and you will see it yourself, a snakeoil seller
>>42994837The only ‘real” thing he did was suck and get fucked by other guys. He was mostly despised by the rest of the GD when he was younger which isn’t really an argument for this or against it since they too were a bunch of larping faggots.
I mean he had quite a bit of influence after his death so you tell me
Yes, he was the first David Ickie The OTO was sponsored by the CIA to spread well poisoning and counter intelligence
>>42994837That guy was stupid, fuck him, sanity is the answer
rich boy spending daddies money
>>42994854larping faggots are taking over the world, my dear.https://youtu.be/bncLxLrkW8A
>>42994837He genuinely believed the stuff he did, but he was conflicted on the reasoning and often bounced between theories. In Book 4 for example he seems completely confused as to whether to apply the psychological or the spirit model to magic.>>42994854He didn't even fuck that many blokes but it's quite funny that everyone just things of him as a massive bender.>>42995535He spent it all early on and was poor as shit for most of life.
>>42995535>inherit a bunch of money>don't give a fuck about the family business>spend it all exploring the world and seeking enlightenment and fucking everything that moves>find some rich people to mooch off of>keep doing magic and debauchery on their dimehonestly kinda based ngl
>>42995600>He genuinely believed the stuff he did, but he was conflicted on the reasoning and often bounced between theories. In Book 4 for example he seems completely confused as to whether to apply the psychological or the spirit model to magic.that's cause they're both correct in the end, but some things are better explained by one or the other
>>42994837No. Only the glowies will try to convince you that he was larping. He came fro ma cult. His parents were unto a christian cult. This is key. His whole life he was raised inside a cult. Plus, their parents had a lot of money. He was rich and that allowed him to indulge in his study of the occult. How can this guy be a larp if he managed to make people like The Beatles put them in their artwork for their album? How is this guy a larp when Jimmy Page used to study his magickal works? Jimmy Page became a rock-star who fucked a lot of pussy and became a successful musician. Crowley did preach that anyone who practice his system could become a briliant musician. So go figure. Is this all a coincidence? You be the judge.
>>42994837I doubt anyone ITT claiming that they read him, has actually read him or at the very least seriously read about him.>Was this guy a larp?probably from your standers No, but it is pretty agreed upon that he was mentally unwell; do with that as you please
>>42995610I agree but he doesn't do a very good job of reconciling them and I think tries too hard with his 'the method of science' approach by using the psychological model.>>42995620I've read his biography and I'm reading Book 4 at the moment, it's surprisingly approachable and easy to read. The plan is to read Magick Without Tears afterwards but Israel Regardie's version, which is considered the best, is expensive.If you're not interested in his magical writings I would definitely recommend his biography anyway because he had a fascinating life.
>>42995620>he was mentally unwellCan't we say that about all religious people? Think about the christians. Are they mentally well? They beleive that a dead jew is coming back to save their ass and they are waiting for 2026 years! I mean, if you want to argue that he was mentally unwell then you gotta recognize that pretty much all religious folks are mentally unwell because religion is nuts. It's funny because every religion point their fingers towards other system and they claim that the other systems are a lie, but they always defend their own system, they fail to see that their system is a lie as well. So I think you are not being fair if you want to say that crowley was mentally unwell. Why? Because everyone who is into religion or believe in a deity is mentally unwell because most of the time the gods that the people believe in are indeed a lie, a fabrication, they don't exist in reality.
>>42995635nta but he definitely had some sort of personality disorder, but beyond that I don't think he was mentally unwell.
>>42994837look into all the connections he had and tell me it was all a "larp"
>>42995620>standers Standards* >>42995643>beyond that I don't think he was mentally unwell.No he was seriously fucked up
>>42995650anons will battle 30 shills in a freemason thread then 20 in an aquino thread and still think crowley threads aren't full of them trying to throw us off.
>>42995676Why was he seriously fucked up?
He was a genuine spiritualist but a bad moral and religious leader
>>42995684mostly because of his completely fucked up childhood in a family of gigachristcucks. just remember that his moniker of "The Great Beast 666" was originally what his own fucking MOTHER called him as a child
>>42995699His mum was a nutter who ended up becoming an even stricter Plymouth Brethren and did call him 'Beast' but not quite 'The Great Beast 666'
>>42995699Plymouth Brethren were a product of 19th century british glowniggers. founded to spread protestantism in Ireland, and their leader Darby was the father of dispensationalism. today's christian ziocucks and their scofield bible trace directly back to these niggers. Crowley may have gotten some of his connections that way, but I don't think that means he was continuing the same work, though. cause if he were I wouldn't have kikes crawling out of the woodwork to complain about "appropriating" their little neoplatonic stick figure of the cosmos whenever I try to talk about my practice with normies
>>42995740>their little neoplatonic stick figure of the cosmosAre you talking about Jesus? Jesus predates neoplatonism. "Middle platonism" was the big thing at the time
>>42994837
>>42995752no I meant the tree of life and the other qabalistic stuff, most of which they didn't actually invent. remember, the truth isn't evil cause parts of it line up with judaism, the jews are evil for trying to keep it from you

>>42994837>>42995759Other than "Chris Chan being recognizable as the same soul in modern reincarnation", Crowley overall never really got anywhere with the occult; He was just studying basics, mostly got involved in stuff like "studying gematria etc", and "ceremonial invocation magic", then he sort of dropped out of any more serious studies, it's rumoured that he "went mad towards the end of his career". Thelema never became a functioning Religious Order or System; since Crowley was still just studying Basics in his time, and it doesn't seem like anyone has managed to get said Order/Religion/System going in more advanced directions yet; it sems to mostly just be "Basic Astrology studies and such"; with no Clear Direction or Serious Praxis. "Bane crashing this plane" in that Batman film is a spiritually generated Crowley reference.
>>42995815>Thelema never became a functioning Religious Order or System; since Crowley was still just studying Basics in his time, and it doesn't seem like anyone has managed to get said Order/Religion/System going in more advanced directions yet;this is hilariously incorrect. you're either a shill or you know nothing of the real A∴A∴post nose.
>>42995848Got a lot of direct experience with occult systems in Praxis; ie well-educated on stuff like actual Spiritual Resources; how power-growth works, in actual praxis (ie real world practitioner of the Occult),and see Thelema as a "highly confused order/system; so far not doing anything of value". I'm already of higher advancement than Alesteir Crowley was; he was never a Master of the subjects; just a basic student of the occult publishing books on his findings. Just getting involved in real Occult Practice yourself in subjects Crowley was studying leads you into his educational level very quickly; then beyond it quite easily. Just studying some Goetic Daemons for apprenticeship or something should quickly get you going for example.
>>42995923>>42995848Note that Crowley left behind his Apprenticeship into the occult, because of getting into some sort of fights with his teachers at some point; then he never got back into it. Nowadays in the modern era he's living as "Chris Chan".Study which kinds of ideas and ideology within Thelema that comes spiritually from "Mr Christine Weston Chandlers". For example Thelema praxis seems to lead into Transsexualism ideas, since its spiritual leader "Crowley/Chris Chan" is nowadays a heavily autistic person obsessed with transsexualism, he's gonna listen to bineural beats to transform into a real woman etc.
>>42995600>He didn't even fuck that many blokesTo be fair nobody ever has to say that about non faggots
No matter how much he mugs for the camera, he has the most doughy, generic John Bull Englishman face of them all.
