…o that it is a living weapon in your hand. The novelist Philip Wylie, many years ago earned a reputation for himself by the writing of a book entitled A Generation of Vipers in which he excoriated mothers and motherhood. This was one of many books denouncing so-called mother love, laying down the proposition, which has since been enormously elaborated, that this has led to the emasculation of the American male, placing him in emotional servitude to the American matriarchy. The book created an ever-widening stir, and has left its mark on America…

…a is difficult to define; it is used by many writers in quite contrary senses. The question is discussed at some length in Part I. of my Book IV. I will quote what I have written about it in conclusion 'Let us try a final definition. Dhyana resembles Samadhi in many respects. There is a union of the ego and the non-ego, and a loss of the sense of time and space and causality. Duality in any form is abolished. The idea of time involves that of two consecutive things, that of space two non-coincident things, that of causality two connected thing…

…-regulated passion, is it too much to say that nine tenths of the social misery not due to poverty arises from these hallucinations? The Book of the Law sweeps them out of existence. "There shall be no property in human flesh." Nobody has a right to say what anyone else shall or shall not do with his or her body. Establish this principle of absolute respect for others and the whole nightmare of sex is dispelled. Blackmail and prostitution automatically lose their raison d'ętre. The corrupting influence of hypocrisy breaks like a rotten reed. Th…

…ut the history as well as the possible application of Liber Legis is so extraordinary as almost to deserve extrapolation to form a small book by itself. There is one story briefly mentioned in letter 80 which Crowley must have written years earlier, though the manuscript has been lost and I have never seen any reference to it outside of this book. Entitled "Every Precaution," it packs sufficient dramatic wallop to excite some novelist enough to do a short story on it. Other stories are gruesome and macabre to a degree, like that of the woman-ch…

…ess, culminating in murder. In his poems he describes his downfall, always explaining the psychology of each act. The conclusions of the book might therefore be approved in any Sunday School and its metaphysics is orthodox from the point of view of the theologian. I wrote the book in absolute seriousness and in all innocence. It never occurred to me that a demonstration of the terrible results of misguided passion might be mistaken for pornography. Indeed, now that I do understand that vile minds think it a vile book, I recognize with grim sati…

…f my Operation in the autumn, understood perfectly at the time what he was doing; that he was being born as "The Child" predicted in The Book of the Law. This interpretation does not rest upon any arbitrary ideas, either on his part or mine. The Book of the Law speaks of this "Child" as "One", as if with absolute vagueness. But the motto which Frater O.I.V. had taken on becoming a neophyte was "Achad" which is the Hebrew word for "One". It is further predicted that this "Child" shall discover the Key of the interpretation of the Book itself, an…

… on the capital 1:53 T’s in “To me”. This injunction was most necessary, for had I been left to myself, I should have wanted to edit the Book ruthlessly. I find in it what I consider faults of style, and even of grammar; much of the matter was at the time of writing most antipathetic. But the Book proved itself greater than the scribe; again and again have the “mistakes” proved themselves to be devices for transmitting a Wisdom beyond the scope of ordinary language. 55.

The Book of the Law itself insists upon the fact that it contains a Qabalah which was beyond me at the time of its dictation , is beyond me now, and always will be beyond me in this incarnation .
