THE STAR IN THE WEST
with us, " or being
interpreted
Aleister Crowley, the
spiritual son of Immanuel
whose
surnamewas Cant !?
And as the
doctrine
taught by Jesus Christ
became
known
as
Christianity ,
so
let
this
theurgy
,
as
ex
pounded
by
this
marvellous
being
,
be
known
as
Crowleyanity
:
or
in
other
words
,
according
to
the
mind
of
the
reader
;
---
Pyrrhonic
-
Zoroastrianism
,
Pyrrhonic
-
Mysticism
,
Sceptical
-
Transcendentalism
,
Sceptical
-
Theurgy
,
Sceptical
-
Energy
,
Scientific
Illuminism
,
or
what you will
;
for
in
short
it
is
the
conscious
communion
with God
on
the
part
of
an
Atheist
,
a
transcending
of
reason
by
scepticism
of
the
instrument
,
and the limitation
of
scepticism
by
direct
consciousness
of
the Absolute
.
To attain
to
such an
illumination the mind
of
a
Huxley
and
the
soul
of
a
Loyola must
be
united
in
one
person
.
And this
illu
mination must
be
as
definite
a
phenomenon
as
orgasm
,
following which
we
find
the
material
world
,
and
its
foundation the world
of
thought
,
as
honestly
set down
to
hallucination
as
a
ghost would
be
.
Construct the
Temple
in
the place
of
the Manger
,
on
the site
of
the
ruins
of
religion and philosophy
,
but with the stones
of
the unfinished
and abandoned
Hall
of
Science
.
And
in
it
let
Semiramis
,
heavy with child
by
the Holy Ghost
,
possess the couch
of
labour
,
once crushed
by
the agon
ized form
of
Mary
;
and bring
to
light that unmistak
able
phenomenon
,
by
which
no
woman
could
doubt
whether
or
no she has ever been
a
mother
,
and
in
which
no
adept can doubt
that
he
is
one
.
Religion and Science have for many years seemingly
run
antagonistic
to
each other
,
but
in
reality their
antagonism
has
been
of
a
superficial
nature
,
