The ROAD TO ELEUSIS
Beyond Crowley’s sordid self-serving sexual agenda, he reveals the same hidden purpose which we have seen exposed time and time again in this work, through the centuries, whether of the UFO contact cults, or Revolutionary agents and assassins or mystical Scientific societies of the middle-ages, Crowley writes:
“There are many magical teachers but in recorded
history we have scarcely had a dozen Magi in the technical sense of the word.
They may be recognized by the fact that their message may be formulated as a
single word, which word must be such that it overturns all existing beliefs and
codes.”
Crowley, the Rosicrucians, the Italian bankers and
their change agents, the French and the Russian revolutionaries, the UFO cults,
all controlled by the same force throughout time and space all dedicated to one
theme: ‘overturning all existing beliefs’. We now live in the world where their
programme is about to achieve its final goals bereft of the idealism which would
have sustained those meddling and wrong-headed do-gooders of the past.
I found this quote during my research
though I have forgotten the attribution and the internet search results being
now so strictly filtered it is presently impossible for me to find out, but it
perfectly encapsulates what has happened to the world and how everything has
been subverted from within by the secret societies enacting this millennial old
agenda, emerging slowly in the mediaeval period, informed by and secretly
perpetuating Jewish mysticism amongst the elite of the West:
“To destroy Western
society it is not necessary to teach evil in place of Christianity, it is just
necessary to teach Judaism.”
Although Crowley was no doubt a most unpleasant man
obsessed with his own pleasure at any cost, even to the lives and sanity of
others, by sexualising the Kabbalah he was only exaggerating what was already
implicit in the original texts. The fundamental problem with the Kabbalah is
that it is obsessed with male and female forces and sees these as spiritual
forces rather than merely physical ones. I suppose it is a matter of opinion
but I do not see the spiritual world as having any gender. It ought to be evident
that gender is a requirement of physical procreation in the physical world and
can serve no purpose once physicality ends in the spiritual world. But
according to the Kabbalah it persists and is primordial, emerging from the very
point of contact from the great Ain Soph to the Kether. With the third Sefira
Binah as being the ‘reflection’ of God, that is God seeing itself, then Binah
is receptive and hence a feminine principle and is known in Kabbalah as the
‘mother’ archetype. Confusingly however each successive Sefira has an
androgynous nature of both receiving and transmitting, receiving being a
supposedly feminine principle and transmitting being a masculine one.
The opening tractate of the Zohar is entitled The Rose and it
could possibly be the true origin of the term Rosicrucian. In the Zohar the
rose is revealed to be a symbol for Israel, would this make Rosicrucianism,
that is, the rose and cross the first society of Christian Zionism? This
analysis would make perfect sense.
“Rabbi
Hizkiyah opened, ‘It is written, as a rose among thorns.’ That a rose is the
Assembly of Israel. Because there is a rose and there is a rose, just as a rose
among thorns is tinged with red and white, the Assembly of Israel consists of
judgment and mercy. Just as a rose has thirteen petals, the Assembly of Israel
is surrounded on all sides by the thirteen attributes of mercy.”
In the Zohar the masculine
energies Chokmah (wisdom) impregnated Binah (understanding) with light to
produce Tiferet or Beauty. To the Kabbalist the spiritual realm seems to be
held together with constant repetitions of sexual energies, it is hardly any
wonder then that we hear rumours of Freemasonry being little more than a
cleverly disguised cult of the phallus in the style of the ancient Egyptian
fertility mystery schools such as the allegory of the search for the poor
Osiris’ lost penis.
In his 2008 book Essential Judaism, George Robinson
writes:
“Hokhmah is the “sperm” that will
impregnate Binah (Understanding) as the first step in the Creative
process.”
“..it is the means by which Tiferet, the male principle
of the Divine, impregnates Shekhinah or Malkhut, the female
embodiment of the Divine. Yesod is the way in which Divine Creativity and
Fertility are visited upon all creation. Yesod is associated with the phallus…”
The
other danger is the insistence of the Zohar of literally embodying the fundamental
spiritual powers of God in the human body. In the Zohar this is called the
Microprospus or Damuth Adam, the primordial man, and might be more familiar as
the pentagram which in reality is a stylised representation of the human body.
So the various Sefirot are said to manifest at different points in or near the
human body. I wonder if you can see where this is heading? The problem is that
again, sex does not seem to be something merely physical but also primordial,
in this belief system then, one can justify all kinds of sexual rites in the
delusion that these are spiritual forces and therefore they escape any kind of
ideas of modesty or morality, and these are precisely the errors the Ancient
World fell into. Where the Gods of the Ancient World were merely expressions of
man’s own nature, it was at least to Judaism’s credit that they insisted that
God created Man in his own image and not the other way around. But the Kabbalah
precisely does that, it takes the physical world and all its desires, emotions
and polarities and thrusts them into the spiritual domain, up to the very
highest levels until it reaches Ain Soph and ends in nothingness.
Master
Mason and Rosicrucian, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers who co-founded the Golden Dawn along with William Westcott also authored
a translation of some of the tracts of the Zohar which he translated from the
Latin version of Christian Knorr von Rosenroth.
In his ‘Confessions’ Aleister Crowley wrote of the decline of
the Golden Dawn and of Mathers himself and makes an intriguing allusion:
“…Mathers, of
course, carried on; but he had fallen. The Secret Chiefs cast him off; he fell
into deplorable abjection; even his scholarship deserted him. He published
nothing new and lived in sodden intoxication till death put an end to his long
misery."
According to one-time personal secretary to Aleister
Crowley and populariser of the occult in the 1960’s Israel Regardie, the
Kabbalah was handed down to Adam after the fall of Man and the expulsion from
the Garden of Eden.
Regardie is particularly scathing of religions, however
he claims that Kabbalah does not belong to any religious traditions, and also
has a soft-spot for Witchcraft. In his book he mentions Crowley, for whom he
has ‘a tremendous respect’ unfortunately this respect would not last once
Crowley accused Regardie of ‘pure theft’ when he edited a 4 volume work on The
Golden Dawn and in a bitter feud revealed to the world that Regardie had once
visited a prostitute in France and contracted gonorrhoea, neglecting to mention
that it was Crowley who had ordered him to visit the prostitute in order to
lose his virginity and overcome his inhibitions.
Although Crowley
in his Confessions depicts Mathers as the true source of spiritual
contact between Crowley and the entities he served:
"As far as I was concerned, Mathers was my only link
with the Secret Chiefs to whom I was pledged. I wrote to him offering to place
myself and my fortune unreservedly at his disposal; if that meant giving up the
Abra-Melin Operation for the present, all right."
Mathers it seemed
was in full psychic contact with various spiritual entities; Crowley reports
how he would play chess against pagan Gods, the moves apparently being
communicated to him and the ‘opponents’ pieces he would move on their behalf.
One could still ascribe this to an over-active imagination I suppose, but is it
likely that merely an overactive imagination is enough to influence the world
on such a phenomenal cross-cultural and global scale, taking control of the highest
echelons of the ruling secret societies and being the hidden hand behind the
façade of our society?
A similar end awaited Crowley himself whose last words
were reported to have been either: "I am perplexed, Satan get out!"
or "Sometimes I hate myself" but Crowley’s reference to ‘Secret
Chiefs’ having deserted Mathers is intriguing and possibly hints at some kind
of ongoing psychic contact with a disembodied spiritual force.
In
her book about occult societies Talking to Gods Susan
Johnston Graf states that The Golden Dawn was: “…the most important and
influential Western organisation of its kind”. She gives a good summary of the general
purpose and aim of the group:
“For a Golden Dawn initiate the work at hand was to make
contact with the divine spark that was thought to reside in all humans…The
Golden Dawn initiate was wanted to raise his or her consciousness to attain
what is termed conversation with the Holy Guardian Angel. The practise
of ritual magic in the Order of the Golden Dawn was an attempt to change
consciousness and to control the imagination by active participation in psychic
events.’
