El libro de la ley, Aleister Crowley

Si les interesan los temas del esoterismo y la historia de las religiones, hay un texto de principios del siglo XX que resulta clave para entender cómo cambió la magia en el mundo occidental. Les hablo de un manuscrito breve que este polémico personaje británico redactó en El Cairo durante la primavera de 1904. Según el propio autor, una entidad llamada Aiwass le dictó las palabras en el transcurso de 3 tardes. Más allá de todos los mitos y el escándalo que siempre rodearon la vida de Crowley, la obra es fascinante porque rompe con los dogmas religiosos tradicionales de la época victoriana y propone una filosofía centrada en la libertad personal y la soberanía del individuo, bajo esa famosa idea de que cada quien debe descubrir y seguir su verdadera voluntad.

Es una lectura muy recomendable para analizar de primera mano cómo nació la corriente del pensamiento conocida como Thelema. El escrito se aleja de los discursos morales típicos de su tiempo y pone el peso completo de las acciones en la responsabilidad de cada persona. Aunque es un texto complejo y rodeado de misticismo, vale mucho la pena echarle un ojo de forma objetiva, pues funciona como un documento histórico para comprender de dónde salieron muchas de las corrientes artísticas y contraculturales que explotaron a mediados del siglo pasado.

We really need to stop calling obvious schizophrenia, manic delusions, and psychosis ‘unverified personal gnosis.’ A person whom I knew 15 years ago has persistent beliefs, regardless of facts, that they knew me in a past life and we made some pact to alter the future to save the world from Nazis. It’s insane, but everyone in the occult Discord is nodding their heads and validating it.

A delusion is a persistent belief regardless of facts. This person has dreams and hallucinations that they believe are gods, spirits, and telepathy. In these hallucinations and delusions, the spirits tell them who random strangers were in a past life. A lot of these delusions are obviously paranoid and inevitably roll into a conspiracy theory about Nazis. This is very terrifying. This means, based on a random occurrence with a person, they will create a parasocial narrative that manifests as them knowing this person.

Most schizophrenia delusions emerge from noise and thus have no actual information. You can uncover that it is a delusion by asking the person for details. For example, if they make a claim about remembering a past life in Egypt, you can do the equivalent of asking them who the President of the United States is now. I did that with this person. They were claiming to have known me and other people in a past life in Egypt 3000 years ago, so I looked up what was going on around that time. I asked them who the high priest was, who the pharaoh was, and what they remember happening around that time. All of it was wrong.

That caused most of that Discord to jump all over me and imply that it was fine because it was their personal gnosis. To be clear, this person is creating parasocial relationships and narratives based on delusional narratives that they are applying to random people they meet.

Phrasing things as they happened in a different reality or a past life is a way to avoid the falsification of and is a way to rationalize the delusion. Claiming that you knew a person in a past life is a way to justify the parasocial relationship. It is not unverified personal gnosis. It’s mental illness. There is nothing magical about mental illness. If I had a nickel for every time a schizophrenic occultist spun up a delusional narrative to justify an adversarial parasocial relationship with me, I’d be rich. This is a major problem.
