First of all, Note that the "Did he bring them into our world" is not something that Crowley mentioned in the link which was posted.
Not to say that he didn't have an experience with a being which looked like that which he drew. What I'm saying is that this has been going on for
millennia.
Let's not muddy the waters here with theories of how he let ufo's in, and focus more on the fact that his entity looks remarkably like the Greys of
today.
Anyone who has frequent experiences with these entities, and has not been silly enough to subject themselves to high amounts of suggestion via
hypnotic regression, creating false memories, will see this for what it is.
Yes, the watchers have always been known of in occult circles, even to the Akkadians of old. We see this in the australian aboriginal paintings as
well.
What we have to remember is that we interpret these phenomena through our cultural mental filter, so they become spaceships which must have beings in
side, instead of seeing them in an alternate perspective, for instance as beings in and of themselves, Gods if you will.
The Greys are not a Military conspiracy, they are not Space People, they are spiritual entities, or inter-dimensional entities, I would go even so far
as to say extra-terrestrial.
I applaud the OP for this post, but I also have to say that the link actually does more dis service because it mistakes cultural maps with actual
territories.
Something else that most don't understand about crowley, he had a good grasp on the abstract, the archetypal, and understood the difference between
the meta-physical archetype and the physical type, and the many different ways that principalities can manifest. The principalities he speaks of, his
Goetic demons etc are themselves aspects of the Magicians Unconscious which he evokes in a way which seems rather shamanic compared to Jung's methods
of evocation.
All in all, Crowley's magical life was one which required the awareness of an aspirant interpreting all external phenomena as a personal and direct
dealing of God with one's own Soul. It required one with the ability to see their whole world, Good and Bad as a mirror image of their own self.
One really can't approach Crowleys writings until they are practiced at experiencing their world in this way.
