Rosanne said:I have never heard of "Trust Fund Kid' expression- maybe here it would be 'Social Welfare disadvantaged Kid" but I get the drift. Yes, there was a long period of personal rebellion- and understandable for my son (fostered) and I can see the appeal of Crowley's writings. Which brings me to the writer that Debra spoke of Ayn Rand. I think Debra's words Disdain and disregard for others is hard to maintain once you've experienced the importance of friendship and the kindness of strangers. have great importance. Crowley's life as was perceived publicly seemed to have this disdain and disregard for others- and his words (whatever he may have believed) showed the same. As I said before- I find it too hard a task to think he actually matured past his rebellion.
I agree that Disdain and disregard for others is hard to maintain once you've experienced the importance of friendship and the kindness of strangers.
Things change when you stop running against the wind & go with the flow..... Perhaps that's age and maturity
Rosanne said:That is an interesting avenue...... I must lie down where all ladders start, In the foul rag and bone of the Heart I find it a shame, but not unexpected that Crowley Character has been isolated by his many deeds- but I guess that is how we know historical characters. Words and actions at variance. ~Rosanne
I tried to get Yeats _A Vision_ to make sense in college -- IT DIDN'T.... It took another 30 years of maturity & Magickal experience to get to unfold in meaningful ways
