This weekend I started out on my exploration of Aleister Crowley's ; Book of Lies . A very dark , devious and negative book right ? Well the lie is suggested as any singular , absolute thought or statement thus any slight deviation from what is perceived as absolute truth by the thinker is probably a lot nearer the REAL truth , but will be perceived as a " lie " because of the unavoidable contradiction .
The book is a collection of cyphers , riddles , verses and statements which are enough to make you give up at first glance , hence you must browse . By doing so you will go exactly to where your instincts tell you or maybe your inner self wants to wander I like to think .
I solved a particular puzzle straight away . An address had always enamoured me . A number and a house name seemed a strange combination . Ive always sensed this , but never remotely knew why . Well I discovered the combination was a very wry joke . How could an address be a joke ? Well the number was 23 which means " get out ! " , and the house name was a term used for voluntary and permanent incarceration for the purpose of religious enlightenment !!! A walled in religious fanatic being told to get out ! Of course one must then think in what context do I take a discovery in ? This is a humorous discovery , but I guess there are much larger lessons ahead for me .
I had a crises of faith at the weekend when I questioned whether this blog was doing my reputation any good and I then saw occult thing are very much in my blood and there is a world out there of people like me and actually this isn't such a silly or more importantly dangerous subject to invest time in . Ive been guilty of pride and vanity recently and its time to remain true to myself . " Do what thou whilst shall be the whole of the law ! " Never has that been more true .
