David Guyatt Wrote:Thanks R K. I think both articles are probably one and the same, or at least both are by Jay Dyer. In the link I posted, the writer identifies himself as "Jay 008". Otherwise it's a remarkable synchronicity.
On Crowley and the so called "Paris Incident" with the alleged invocation of Pan as detailed by Wheatley, this seems to be discredited here. The sad facts are that Crowley was a pompous liar and a morphine addict and, as I have earlier noted elsewhere, the only time he ever found real love was with his infant son born when Crowley was already an old man and stumbling towards death. But at least he found it. His life prior to that was a rampage against his strict upbringing by his Plymouth Brethren parents, which I believe psychologically damaged him.
David, you're right. I neglected to check the original link after I'd read through what you had written.
Re: Crowley and the subject at hand, this book looks like it could be quite interesting:

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
