Instead Regardie focus on understanding Crowley using his memories of him, his writing and actions, and looking through the lens of the psychoanalytic world view of Wilhelm Reich Regardie made a living as a Reichian therapist and chiropractor. Regardie is very open with the reader about his naivety when first coming into contact with Crowley and the nature of their later falling out; and it's a joy to 'listen' as the old man share scenes from his time with Crowley. Regardie gives his valuable insights into Crowley's psyche to us. Besides assuming the reader already knows the major events of Crowley's life, it also assumes a basic knowledge in the western esoteric tradition. So to sum up: a great book to get to know who Aleister Crowley was, but it's not for the casual reader, and it's not suitable as the first biography. Word een LibraryThing Auteur.

Bezig met laden Israel Regardie who knew Crowley does not, as so many biographers, fall into the two convenient categories, when it comes to categorizing the man: the degenerate 'Black Magus' or misunderstood 'Prophet'. Regardie comes across a bit pompous, but this book gave me better insights into Crowley's character than anything else I've read.

The Eye in the Triangle Aiwass is the name given to a voice that English occultist Aleister Crowley reported to have heard on April 8, 9, and 10 in Crowley reported that this voice, which he considered originated with a non-corporeal intelligence, dictated The Book of the Law or Liber Legis to him. His first and only identification as such is in Chapter I: "Behold! Hoor-paar-kraat Egyptian: Har-pa-khered is more commonly referred to by the Greek transliteration Harpocratesmeaning "Horus the Child", whom Crowley considered to be the central deity within the Thelemic cosmology see: Aeon of Horus. The Voice of Aiwass came apparently from over my left shoulder, from the furthest corner of the room. It seemed to echo itself in my physical heart in a very strange manner, hard to describe. I have noticed a similar phenomenon when I have been waiting for a message fraught with great hope or dread. The voice was passionately poured, as if Aiwass were alert about the time-limit The voice was of deep timbre, musical and expressive, its tones solemn, voluptuous, tender, fierce or aught else as suited the moods of the message. The English was free of either native or foreign accent, perfectly pure of local or caste mannerisms, thus startling and even uncanny at first hearing. I had a strong impression that the speaker was actually in the corner where he seemed to be, in a body of "fine matter," transparent as a veil of gauze, or a cloud of incense-smoke. He seemed to be a tall, dark man in his thirties, well-knit, active and strong, with the face of a savage king, and eyes veiled lest their gaze should destroy what they saw. The dress was not Arab; it suggested Assyria or Persia, but very vaguely. I took little note of it, for to me at that time Aiwass was an "angel" such as I had often seen in visions, a being purely astral. In the later-written Liberthe voice of the 8th Aethyr says "my name is called Aiwass," and "in The Book of the Law did I write the secrets of truth that are like unto a star and a snake and a sword. Crowley went to great pains to argue that Aiwass was an objectively separate being from himself, possessing far more knowledge than he or any other human could possibly have. He wrote "no forger could have prepared so complex a set of numerical and literal puzzles". The existence of true religion presupposes that of some discarnate intelligence, whether we call him God or anything else. And this The Eye in the Triangle: An Interpretation of Aleister Crowley exactly what no religion had ever proved scientifically. And this is what The Book of the Law does prove by internal evidence, altogether independent of any statement of mine. This proof is evidently the most important step in science that could possibly be made: for it opens up an entirely new avenue to knowledge. The immense superiority of this particular intelligence, AIWASS, to any other with which mankind has yet been in conscious communication is shown not merely by the character of the book itself, but by the fact of his comprehending perfectly the nature of the proof necessary to demonstrate the fact of his own existence and the conditions of that existence. And, further, having provided the proof required. However, Crowley also spoke of Aiwass in symbolic terms. In The Law Is for All[7] he goes on at length in comparison to various other deities and spiritual concepts, but most especially to The Fool. For example, he writes of Aiwass: "In his absolute innocence and ignorance he is The Fool; he is the Saviour, being the Son who shall trample on the crocodiles and tigers, and avenge his father Osiris. Thus we see him as the Great Fool of Celtic legend, the Pure Fool of Act I of Parsifaland, generally speaking, the insane person whose words have always been taken for oracles. Perhaps more importantly, Crowley later identified Aiwass as his own personal Holy Guardian Angel and more. Yet even while eventually identifying Aiwass as his Holy Guardian Angel, Crowley still went to even greater lengths in his later years to insist that Aiwass was an objective entity apart from himself, even going as far as to declare in no uncertain terms The Eye in the Triangle: An Interpretation of Aleister Crowley the Holy Guardian Angel is not only entirely objective, but is also not to be confused with the "Higher Self," as in his final work, Magick Without Tears : "The Holy Guardian Angel is not the 'Higher Self' but an Objective individual. He is not, let me say with emphasis, a mere abstraction from yourself; and that is why I have insisted rather heavily that the term 'Higher Self' implies 'a damnable heresy and a dangerous delusion'. A number of The Eye in the Triangle: An Interpretation of Aleister Crowley have expressed the view that Aiwass was most likely an unconscious manifestation of Crowley's personality. Occultist Israel Regardie argued for this view in his Crowley biography, The Eye in the Triangleand considered that The Book of the Law was a "colossal wish fulfillment" on Crowley's part. My 'conscience' is really an obstacle and a delusion, being a survival of heredity and education. The Eye in the Triangle: An Interpretation of Aleister Crowley The Book of the Law the wish is fulfilled. Cammell, author of Aleister Crowley: The Man, the Mage, the Poet [12] also wrote that The Book of the Law was "in part but in part only an emanation from Crowley's The Eye in the Triangle: An Interpretation of Aleister Crowley mind I can believe; for it bears a likeness to his own Daemonic personality. Ah, you realize that magick is something we do to ourselves. But it is more convenient to assume the objective existence of an angel who gives us new knowledge than to allege that our invocation has awakened a supernormal power in ourselves.
