Probably my philosophy like also more than religion, because it usually has a higher code of honor.
For whoever calls as a philosopher against the representative of another school even to something resembling a holy wars, thus already disqualified before the night hereinzubrechen verwagt itself.
This is something you do as a philosopher simply not: because you love yes wisdom as his sword.

Quite simply because the former have us often more to say than the latter.
Both for and about this world and for this and other worlds.

Aleister Crowley blessed must have been formerly probably pretty ausgedürstet because he said he wanted to can practically fill by anyone sufficiently Courvoisier beibrächte him for that purpose, the older than 25 years. (The fire, the age of the Kognakdieners not have played a role with respect to this recital.)
Now I of course immediately brought the cutest and roll gemeinverträglichste example of a philosopher. It does not matter. When I look at myself some of today's bunch, so had the least joke.
And, although he was an avowed English. (Deranged Saxony gets on a humid island to make their language for high-level language, a few latiniserte, daueralkoholisierte Vikings hit it, and it is then the English, as we know it today.)
Actually I wanted to make no-serious jokes.
So I'll leave it now.

Crowley was undoubtedly in the double and triple sense not quite clean, but not all.
I would make parts of his works concerning the philosophy of the 20th century required reading.
This is the diet that should learn digest of coming first.
I know that Crowley is rather frowned upon in some pretty good reasons out, but consider it wrong that his wit and some of his wisdom go so verschütt unduly.
After all, for example, was his definition of magic as the force or power to effect change in accordance with the will, a very broad.
If he makes fun of jerks, it is sometimes grandiose.
"Little Essays Toward Truth" is a very amazing little book.
The strange, dark poetry of his Class A texts (ie those who he thought was herunterkanalt) is not yet sufficiently appreciated and explored, in my opinion, especially on the prosodic as overall sound level. Far
There simply is not enough to act upon Wunderling as a crazy black magic Arschgeige; even not if you can not do anything with his Tarot and the magical-mystical Analog tables of Liber 777 aircraft.
Here in part dimensions are in any case at least present which are to take no further into the realm of philosophy, zuwenigst linguistics, enough at least for me, especially when I look compared to me most of the Geblubbers the 20th century it or listen to Uncle Aleister not only easy to make in a neglected Verschimmelecke.
Many, very many would do it good if it times anguckten what has so daherkanalt and released everything.
Although it is known that Crowleyaner tend to spin, often are not the strongest character contemporaries, but it does not have to be the Crowleyaner if you want to understand why those here and there and often departs a wheel.
In any case, Aleister Crowley has understood something about how terrified the brave men and tightens the worst reputation there.
In short, the philologists have been done here too little.
The Class A-texts to my knowledge (I have long ceased to actively seized of the matter) is very limited linguistic researches. I think this is a big mistake.

"Although it is known that Crowleyaner tend to spin, often are not the strongest character contemporaries, but it does not have to be the Crowleyaner if you want to understand why those here and there, and often a wheel flies off."
And therefore it is recommended only for very few, because most steadfastness and awareness of the dangerous half-truths, Chaos sermons, relativization, and so truly to understand, and therefore not just fall for it.
Because you fall prey to that, you're trapped in the illusory EGO entanglements, just as the masters of the world in the innermost circles, though not in the same extreme mass.
To you I trust this study - especially with main focus on the linguistic aspects - quite to, but because you're one of the few exceptions.

@ Eric
Thanks for the links. They seem to have practically made the whole Crowleysche work into the grid yes. Very commendable. As recently as 20 years ago, many things from him were hard to get.
@ Dude
Sure Crowley is not exactly the easiest Alleweil food, drug affinity natures of weak character, especially if there are still more than children, not highly recommended.
A brave philosophy students something should be reasonable but at least in the main study. And if one has time, concerned by this renowned specialist starting a little with traditional as modern occultism, with the Tarot, Kabbalah (the guys around Jim Lee and Jake Stratton-Kent are unsure, an English Kabbalah from the Liber Al to have been distilled to obtain the then, as I anfügte whether the same 26 letters as the - or - may consider German), who is on yoga, also is not too short, etc.
Incidentally icon customer, Astrology, Freemasonry, special trip reports ...
It is therefore in my opinion rather that science here fear, shyness has (certainly can sympathize quickly one's own reputation already on Crowley topic), properly einzuzsetzen their tools and grind on the subject, because all abundantly clueless as the confused Geschrapsel of a cynical, drug-addicted black artist to dismiss.
I've met people who just now seemed quite cheerful, but then very suddenly alone whether the mention of the name of evil were pretty nervous.
So that should now not be.
Do people really about because, as was the Lebhaftige after he had his great legacy brought by quickly, and later across New York marched to save your money for the subway?
But Crowley is undoubtedly for some very real secret societies to the gray eminences, if he is not the highest, so it certainly can not hurt to know this a bit more.
(Remember times that Rudolf Steiner was an absolute Granatenerzokkultist, but everywhere opened as a highly sought-after private schools their doors his Waldorf schools today, in which case you simply silent as far as possible away.)
Maybe I am working from autumn again a little closer with the things that I currently, 15 years read almost nothing agiere from memory, it would be necessary, I entschlösse me but to try to revive the debate sustainable.
Since Ralph Tegtmeier about 20 years ago when Knaur publishing a flaky written small Bestsellers landed (The Thousand Masks of the Master), the specimens suddenly sold more than a hundred thousand, was in a hurry disappeared from the market (it seemed a lot of priests and other "youth protectors to have "driven to the plan), is, as far as I still look over, did not run much in the German-speaking countries.
But I do not even know the extent to which the Fraternity of Saturn still exists, and split off, those secret society, the Anglo-Saxon Crowleyanern at times even the beads of sweat could occur on the forehead.
It must in all of this also not be overlooked that "Golden Dawn" at most times only had 80 to 120 members; but this included some of the most prestigious thinkers of that time.
Wide fields are opening up.
Have you ever seen the Hollywood movie "The Devil"? Then the devil goes even underground. ;-)
One should cunning and deceit of Satan never underestimate, because he is the grandmaster 40th grade, and his Hinterherdackler, and no matter how educated and well-read, this unfortunately almost never seen.
Ps. Although Steiner was undoubtedly occultist, which is only too happy and too often - mostly unconsciously - is overlooked, he was so far from being a Satanist, as he is in the book ...
@ Dude
The movie I know of at least aware not.
Even so far and insalsoweit Crowley for "Devilish" was, in any event, we have reasonable grounds, his statements, his environment, to illuminate his epigones thoroughly.
Crowley was a kind of new religion create - Thelema - in the reign of individual free will and free choice. Each person is like a star and follows its own path. Restrictive morality there should be none. Each person should think for themselves and decide to follow their own path. Since no two paths are the same, there is no way to teach our fellow human beings. We can only encourage them to accept their own freedom and their own responsibility. Do what thou wilt shall be the only law. (Do what thou wilt Shall be the whole of the Law)
He wrote in Book 4:
You have to find out who is beyond all doubt, what is it, why is ... In this way you will be aware of what is the right direction itself. Next is to understand the conditions necessary to do so. Accordingly, it is necessary to eliminate any foreign or hostile element of success and you have to develop the parts of himself that are necessary to control which state conditions.
(Sounds like Occam's razor, which is in my opinion almost always misinterpreted.)
1. Magick (Crowley used this term to distinguish him from the stage magic) so "Magick is the science and art of causing change in accordance with the will."
2: Any intentional act is a magic act.
3. Magick is the science itself and understand its terms. It is the act to put this understanding into action. "
For Crowley the exercise of Magick main purpose was there to knowledge of and connection to the Holy Guardian Angel (I would say to one's self) to produce, although it is good for everyday functions such as balance the account. Black magic should be avoided.

Sounds all very good! I think self-knowledge also for the base of each understanding.
