Lore347 said:Hmm, this seems to be a continuation of the theme of the true relationship of A.C., Aiwass and Had.
Aeon418 said:Not just A.C. It relates to all of us in exactly the same way.
But Aiwass is both personal to Crowley and general to all in that he is both 93 and 418.similia said:Crowley can have his Aiwass, but keep your hands of my Had

Also it's worth remembering why Crowley chose to use the term "HGA". Unlike conventional religion, that preaches a one-size-fits-all view of deity, the doctrine of the HGA recognises that we all have a different perspective. The "face" that Deity reveals to me will naturally be different to what you see and experience. But the same "source" is behind both.
Deity developing? It's more like our perception of deity develops as we do. The wider your horizons become, the more you are capable of seeing.similia said:Is the Aeon only our own evolution in terms of ability to relate to deity, or is deity developing also? Or just its 'faces".

It doesn't sound like it, but there is a question in there....
While I don't agree with you on the electronic bit, I do agree that the evolution of "rational consciousness" has peaked. As a species we're probably as intellectually smart as we're ever going to get. Wasn't that the point of the Aeon of Osiris? The development of the human Ruach(Osiris) by the supression of the Nephesch(Isis).ravenest said:The progression goes on and gets shorter each time untill the human brain seemed the highest expression but now this is no longer capible of rationally containing the evolution of conciousness.
To me, the verses from 10 to 13 seem to be no more than this same bullying - or humour. And it's only really funny if you assume that the dictating intelligence is not subject to the same ego problems that we are . . . conversely, it's only bullying if the "luckless scribe" is still held in thrall by his ego.Crowley said:To interrupt the dictation of a supremely important document, merely to jeer at the impotent resentment of the luckless scribe! It seemed to me downright ungenerous, the spirit of the triumphant schoolboy bully!
