Concerning Death by Aleister Crowley in International, Dec 1917.

“In all the universe, darkness is only found in the shadow of a gross and opaque planet, as it were for a moment; the universe itself is a flood of light eternal.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “So also death is but through accident; thou hast hidden thyself in the shadow of thy gross body, and, taking it for reality, thou hast trembled.”
  2. “Time that eateth his children hath not power on them that would not be children of Time. To them that know themselves immortal, that dwell always in eternity, conscious of Nuit, throned upon the chariot of the sun, there is no death that men call death.”
  3. “The moon and the earth are the non-ego and the ego: the Sun is THAT.”
  4. “There may be some significance in the chapter number, which is that of Jechidah the highest unity of the soul.”
  5. “THIS paper is not primarily political. So far as it is so, it is and will be loyal; but it will resent the thesis that in order to be loyal one must be insane.”
