Gretings,

absolutely, which is to my mind at least a great big shame as I think that what both Nietsche and Crowley were actually talking about was freedom in its most absolute sense.

The trouble starts when a few people choose to take advantage of the concept but then go and tell everyone else that there ARE some sort of objective set of rules. Cant have the lackeys thinking for themselves, never know what might happen.

But you are right, this is dangerous stuff, and probably why the whole notion of 'occultism', of obscuring sprang up. So that a few people who had some sort of a glimpse of what freedom might be could hoard it to themselves and abuse it in the domination of others.

Makes the few enlightened souls who managed to avoit this kind of temptation seem all the more remarkable to me.

love and life
