Lifting the Curse, Part I: A New Dawn Read online

  A man who is doing his true will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him. Man is ignorant of his own being and powers. Even his idea of his limitations is based on an experience of the past and every step in his progress extends his empire. There is, therefore, no reason to assign theoretical limits to what he may be or what he may do.

  Man is capable of being and using anything which he perceives, for everything that he perceives is, in a certain sense, a part of his being. He may, thus, subjugate the whole universe, of which he is conscious, to his individual will.

  The microcosm is an exact image of the macrocosm. The Great Work is the raising of the whole man in perfect balance to the power of infinity. There is a single main definition of the object of all Magickal Ritual. It is the uniting of the microcosm with the macrocosm. The supreme and complete ritual is, therefore, the invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel (Higher Self) or, in the language of mysticism, union with God.

  – Aleister Crowley, Magician (1875 – 1947)

 

  Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war…

  And the armies in heaven…followed Him on white horses…

  And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

 

  KING OF KINGS

  AND LORD OF LORDS

  – Revelation 19:11 – 16 (New Testament, Book II of the Bible*)
