Aleister Crowley, held on the satanic side of occultists, believed, or at least claimed to others (recommended is a good word) that:
0=2.
He gave really nuttty, actually extremely insane reasons and explanations for this claim.
Many people say Crowley was one of the most evil famed (or infamed) people. Maybe he was screwed up himself by really evil or screwed up spirits. But
it's not hard to see that trying to control people's minds to a state where they will believe anything, and then tell them that 0=2, can really screw
them up, if primed enough. I know this technique, using Crowley's writing in 0=2 -has been used satanically to brainwash people into a alleged
terrible state of compliant and dependent stupor.
One meaning of the 0=2 formula is that everything is made of Nothing or manifests spontaneously from Nuit. In a vacuum, pairs of particles, matter and
anti-matter, are continuously being created out of nothing only to come together again in annihilation. As Aleister Crowley elaborated on the 0=2
formula, 0=(+1) + (-1). Thus “a hand full of nothing” and “plus and minus everything.” Of course, we all know that matter is not really
composed of particles, but rather of waves that sometimes appear to be particles. Thus, form manifests in its positive and negative phases, figure and
ground, “like waves on still waters.”
0 = the NOTHING from whence we came,
to which we shall return (again, and forever).
2 = the ILLUSION of the physical, good and evil,
the ying and yang, duality, Maya
This a symbol set 0-2 which teaches all is impermanent
(as so well described in Buddhism).
As far as I can tell, Crowley was really all about "Magick" which said was nothing more than the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in
conformity with Will. He cast "spells" the way a Christian would pray to Jesus (but with more ritual and often better results). My question has always
been, where did he come up with this: "Do what thou wt shal be te whole of te Law" (I read some where he received this from some supernatural force
the spoke to him). But this is not an new idea:
"An ye harm none, do what thou wilt" ( Wiccan proverb)
"Love, and do what thou wilt." (St. Augustine of Hippo)
It would seem that Crowley merely re-purposed the language
to better soot his needs.
"Do what thou wt shal be te whole of te Law" (to will, wish, purpose)
The "Magick" for Crowley was "true will" or shear determination to make
what you want come into reality. But the whole quote add the phrase:
"Love is the whole law, Love under True Will."
What is this so-called "True Will" (again, for Crowley is is "Magick")
Is Crowley saying, "Love Purposefully (or not at all)." ???
That WILL Power is what makes LOVE fulfill the whole law?
That without REAL will, there is no REAL love? Perhaps.
I don't know what he had in mind, but this is my conclusion:
Your LIBERTY is your true authority!
All else is a False Authority, save LOVE.
To love under will is the means by which
one may RECLAIM their Will.
The world "AIM" is part of the term reclAIM.
The opposite of Reclaim:
harm, hurt, injure, lose, abandon, forfeit
destroy, endanger, ruin, waste, forget
Again I ask, what is this "Love is the law, love under will."
My take: Love is purposeful, or ought to be. True love
when under "true will" has this purpose: to heal the world.
Your LIBERTY is your true authority!
Do as you WILL and by your example you teach others
to do the same. In so doing, we heal the world.
