To declare oneself a follower of Jesus is not only to insult history and reason but to apologize for the murderers of Arius, Molinos and Cranmer, the persecutors of science, the upholders of slavery and the suppressors of all free thought and speech. https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/04/23/to-declare-oneself-a-follower-of-jesus-is-not-only-to-insult-history-and-reason-but-to-apologize-for-the-murderers-of-arius-molinos-and-cranmer-the-persecutors-of-science-the-upholders-of-slavery-a/ #aleisterCrowley #all #apologize #Arius #book #declare #follower #freeSpeech #freeThought #hermeneuticon #history #iconomancy #insult #jesus #MiguelDeMolinos #Molinos #Murderers #notOnly #oneself #persecutors #quote #reason #science #slavery #speech #suppressors #TheConfessionsOfAleisterCrowley #ThomasCranmer #Thought #upholders -

“It is evident to all serious thinkers that the only hope of saving mankind from a catastrophe so complete that the very name of civilization will perish is in the appearance of a new religion.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/04/16/it-is-evident-to-all-serious-thinkers-that-the-only-hope-of-saving-mankind-from-a-catastrophe-so-complete-that-the-very-name-of-civilization-will-perish-is-in-the-appearance-of-a-new-religion/ #aleisterCrowley #appearance #book #catastrophe #civilization #complete #evident #newReligion #onlyHope #quote #savingMankind #seriousThinkers #TheConfessionsOfAleisterCrowley #toAll #veryName #willPerish

“The Ruach lastly is the machine of the mind converging on a central consciousness, which appears to be the ego. The true ego is, however, above Neschamah, whose occasional messages to the Ruach warn the human ego of the existence of his superior. Such communications may be welcomed or resented, encouraged or stifled. Initiation consists in identifying the human self with the divine, and the man who does not strain constantly to this end is simply a brute made wretched and ashamed by the fact of self-consciousness.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/03/12/the-ruach-lastly-is-the-machine-of-the-mind-converging-on-a-central-consciousness-which-appears-to-be-the-ego-the-true-ego-is-however-above-neschamah-whose-occasional-messages-to-the-ruach-warn/ #above #aleisterCrowley #appearsToBe #ashamed #book #byTheFactOf #centralConsciousness #communications #consists #ego #encouraged #existence #humanEgo #humanSelf #identifying #initiation #machine #madeWretched #man #mayBe #mindConverging #Neschamah #occasionalMessages #quote #resented #Ruach #selfConsciousness #simplyABrute #stifled #strainConstantly #superior #TheConfessionsOfAleisterCrowley #toThisEnd #trueEgo #warn #welcomed #whoDoesNot #withTheDivine

“The Book of the Law was given to mankind chiefly in order to provide it with an impeccable principle of practical politics. I regard this as more important for the moment than its function as a guide in its evolution towards conscious godhead.”

“having got rid of such false ideas as that a child was the property of its mother, in the same sense as a limb to be controlled and used without consulting its inclination; and on the child’s part, that it need not face reality but run to its mother for comfort in any trouble, the psychological root of quarrelling, pestering, lying and cringing was torn up and thrown on the bonfire of self-apprehension as a sovereign soul.”

“All I ask is that my results should convince seekers after truth that there is beyond doubt something worth while seeking, attainable by methods more or less like mine.”

“I do not want to father a flock, to be the fetish of fools and fanatics, or the founder of a faith whose followers are content to echo my opinions. I want each man to cut his own way through the jungle.”

“The Law of Thelema fulfils the necessary conditions. It is not limited by ethnological, social, religious or linguistic barriers. Its metaphysical basis is strictly scientific. Its principle is single, simple and self-evident. It does not deny human nature or demand impossible virtues. It offers to every individual the fullest satisfaction of his true aspirations; and it supplies a justification for all types of political systems beyond the criticisms which have undermined all previous theories of government. There is no need for the fraud of divine right or the cant of democracy. The right of the ruler to rule depends solely upon the scientific proof of his fitness to do so, and this proof is capable of confirmation by the evidence of the experience that his measures really result in enabling each individual in his jurisdiction to fulfil his own peculiar function as freely as possible.”

“I admit that my visions can never mean to other men as much as they do to me. I do not regret this. All I ask is that my results should convince seekers after truth that there is beyond doubt something worth while seeking, attainable by methods more or less like mine. I do not want to father a flock, to be the fetish of fools and fanatics, or the founder of a faith whose followers are content to echo my opinions. I want each man to cut his own way through the jungle.”

“Human nature demands … the satisfaction of the religious instinct, and, to very many, this may best be done by ceremonial means.”

"… the Law of Thelema … admits that each member of the human race is unique, sovereign and responsible only to himself. In this way it is the logical climax of the idea of democracy. Yet at the same time it is the climax of aristocracy by asserting each individual equally to be the centre of the universe." - The Hermetic Library Blog https://library.hrmtc.com/2023/09/21/the-law-of-thelema-admits-that-each-member-of-the-human-race-is-unique-sovereign-and-responsible-only-to-himself-in-this-way-it-is-the-logical-climax-of-the-idea-of-democracy/
