THE NEW WINE
2II
been fulfilled : Aleister Crowley is the artist Elias , the
marvellous being whom God has permitted to make a
discovery of the highest importance in his illuminative
philosophy of Crowleyanity , in the dazzling and
flash
ing light
of which
there
is nothing
concealed which
shall not be discovered .
It has taken
100,000,000
years to produce Aleister
Crowley .
The world has indeed laboured , and has at
last brought forth a man .
Bacon blames the ancient
and scholastic
philosophers
for
spinning
webs , like
spiders
out of their
own
entrails ;
the
reproach
is
perhaps unjust , but out of the web of these
spiders ,
Crowley
has himself twisted
a subtle cord , on which
he has suspended the universe , and swinging it round
has sent the whole
fickle world
conception
of these
excogitating
spiders into those realms which
lie
behind
Time and beyond Space
.
He stands
on
the virgin rock
of
Pyrrhonic
-
Zoroastrianism
,
which unlike
the Hindu
world
-
conception
,
stands
on
neither
Elephant
nor
Tortoise
,
but
on
the
Absolute
Zero
of
the
meta
physical Qabalists
.
The
question
now
is
,
what
is
Crowleyanity
or
Pyrrhonic
-
Zoroastrianism
?
and
the
answer
is
as
follows
:
"
Hosanna
to
the
Son
of
David
!
Blessed
is
He
that cometh
in
the name
of
the Lord
.
Hosanna
in
the
highest
!
"
For this day
there
has been born
in
Albion
a
greater than David
Hume
,
and
a
more illustrious
than David
Home
,'
even had
he
been genuine
.
And
he
shall
be
called
“
Immanuel
,”
that
is
“
God
i
Vide Haeckel
,
“
Last words on Evolution
,”
