“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
