Made for a nice break from a very serious and challenging book on Buddhist Philosophy from the Oxford University Press, from Peter Adamson's podcast History of Philosophy without Any Gaps, from Sartre's Being and Nothingness, from figuring out how keeping a studio apartment clean is so difficult a task for me, from being too involved in following election campaigns and (more importantly) the Blue Jays' thoroughly impressive playoff push, from attempting a diversified social life as a graduate student in this most disconnected and unserious of cities, and so on.
But it was not a revelation, and I'd like to think I went into my reading of Crowley's central book with something of an open mind. It has not the juicy esotericism I've heard I should expect from the Book of Lies, nor too much of interest to offer in the way of ethics and so on.
Then again, Aiwass has not spoken to me personally, so what would I know?

I mean what can really be said about books such as these? I find it fascinating. The ending is my favorite part, but I think it is lost on most who read it.

It is an ok book, gives good "brain food for thinking" but that's it. It is good for those whom are interested in thelema and to those who would like to see some of Crowley's most personal works.

Wow, I am speechless.
Definitely a great book to read. A little confusing at first. But with some background information it's totally logical.
Love it. That's for sure.

I hate to egoists who externalise their egos as spooks.
Twilight of the Idols for idol worshippers.

I am only rating this book this high because I am convinced that Crowley is simply a troll. History's best at that. Not buying for a second that he wasn't laughing his ass off writing this and thinking "Oh, how some fools will buy this!"
