To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worthwhile. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.

“For the Mind is sensitive, unstable as Air, and may be led foolishly in leash by a stronger Mind that worketh as the cunning Tool of a Will. Therefore thy Safety and Defence is to hold thy Mind to his right Function, a faithful Minister to thine own True Will, but Election of Nature. Heed well this, o my Son, for thy Mind Passive is rightly a Mirror to reflect all Things clearly without Prejudice, and to remain unstained by them.”

#CurrentlyReading Lion of Light, a collection of #RobertAntonWilson's writing on #AleisterCrowley (rhymes with slowly).

Crowley was born rich and died poor, in between he ponced around doing drugs and shagging in exotic locations, climbed mountains, had psychotic breaks in China, was labelled the most wicked man in England by the tabloid press and appeared posthumously on the cover of Sgt Pepper.

Wilson makes it all make sense somehow.

It's a good read but the cover is AI shit.

“A Roda gira para aqueles métodos eficientes de invocação empregados nos Mistérios antigos, e por certos corpos secretos de Iniciados até os dias de hoje. Seu objetivo é, quase invariavelmente, a invocação de um Deus; esse Deus sendo concebido de maneira mais ou menos material e pessoal. Esses rituais, portanto, são bem adequados para pessoas capazes de compreender o espírito da Magia, mesmo que não a letra.”
