Ventrue said:He talks about the three veils of nothingness
It might be more correct to say that Kether emerged from the Tree veils of Negative Existence, and that's about all you can say. It's totally beyond the realm of the human mind.That's one reason why the word-symbols used to describe the "Nothing" send your mind into a spin when you start to think about them.Ventrue said:He talks about the three veils of nothingness, is that Ain, Ain Soph, and Ain Soph Aur?
Assuming thats right, did those three veils of nothingness combine to form Kether(which is the point right?)?
Crowley is talking about a spiritual event on a world wide scale. Namely the end of the Aeon of Osiris and it's replacement by the the Aeon of Horus, the god of Force and Fire. Of course I'm not suggesting that Egyptian gods rule the world or anything like that. Rather the characteristics of the time in which we live corresponds to the nature of the gods. This can be interpreted on many different levels, both internally/spiritually and externally.Ventrue said:I haven't read the Equinox, but both Lon and A.C. refer to the Aeon in 1904 when the world was destroyed by fire. I have this vision of Crowley's hotel room catching on fire and him standing there going "OMG THIS IS THE GOD'S WAY OF TELLING ME THAT THE NEW AEON HAS BEGUN!!" Can someone explain it to without it taking a novel, or do I need to go read Equinox and figure it out? Thanx
According to Crowley that date marks the Equinox of the Gods. The transition between the Aeon of Osiris and the Aeon of Horus. Crowley's wife, Rose, instructed him in invoke Horus on that day with a ritual that broke all the rules of ceremonial magic that he had learnt in the Golden Dawn.Ventrue said:I understand what you are saying about new aeons, but SOMETHING had to have happened for him to say it began on March 21, 1904. It cant be arbitrary, I guess it could have been a vision he recieved on that particular day. I was just looking for some physical event to have manifested on that day to rectify him giving that particular date.
