Today is Aleister Crowley's Birthday (12th October 1875). Born Edward Alexander Crowley, he was an accomplished mountaineer, artist, poet, chemist and occultist who is most well known for his esoteric books. He studied at Cambridge then travelled widely, and was amongst the earliest westerners to study and bring back and translate the key works of Eastern Philosophy. In his youth he was part of a team of mountaineers who very nearly climbed the then un-climbed K2. He was deeply involved in the world of fringe Freemasonry and magical orders, most notably The Golden Dawn alongside all the great and good of the day (artists/poets/authors) and the Order of Oriental Templars. Although vilified during his own lifetime by the tabloid press and accused of being a traitor, it has since come to light that during the wars he spied for the allies. Labelled "The Wickedest Man in The World" he often courted controversy and led a very liberal lifestyle that would probably hardly raise an eyebrow today but did back then. Keenly interested in personal freedom and the discovery and fulfilment of ones own personal destiny, he founded his own religious/philosophical movement which he called "Thelema" and which stated "Do What Thou Wilt" a counter culture statement of freedom embraced in the sixties but often misunderstood to mean do what you like! He was featured on the cover of the Beatles Sgt Peppers Album and John Lennon was a fan apparently, as was Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, who bought Crowley's old home (Boleskine house). He died 1st December 1947. A complex and controversial person no doubt, a man ahead of his time, but a man who certainly left his mark on the world! For those interested in reading more about him I highly recommend the excellent biographies; Aleister Crowley by Tobias Churton or Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley by Richard Kaczynski.

*For those who don’t believe in Polarity and Masculine-Feminine Energetics*

I get it.

You prefer to focus on the forces you see, understand and align with your Worldview.

That does not mean these forces are not exerting their effect on you.

Gravity is an unseen force.

So is Electromagnetism.

So is Relational Electromagnetism also known as Polarity.

The Masculine is Electric.

The Feminine is Magnetic.

Most Mature Spiritual Traditions Know This At The Level of Metaphysical Law.

If you don’t believe Relational Polarity exists, analogously, you are like a kid with a cape who jumps of their bike and hopes to fly only to be ravaged by the unseen force of gravity.

Those who deny Relational Polarity & Electromagnetism do so at their own Peril.

The unseen forces of Gravity, Electromagnetism and the Polarity of Relational Electromagnetism will exert their effects on you and your life whether you believe in them or not.

Do you really want to be the kind of person who moves through life with the equivalent belief that Gravity does not exist?

The bitter pill is that your Denial of these Immutable Forces are why so many of your Relationships have Crashed and Burned…or pulsed with the energetic vibrancy of dried out cheesetoast.

Perhaps, a better approach would be to understand how these fundamental forces work rather than being so invested in the Denial encoded by your Incomplete Worldview.

But to each their own…

“The old saw in Buddhism is that desire is the noxious w**d that keeps us lurching from one unsatisfactory pleasure to the next, and that uprooting it is the only way to liberation. Daniel Odier, a scholar and teacher of ta**ra, turns this wisdom on its head in ‘Desire: The Ta***ic Path to Awakening,’ saying that desire is the only true path to liberation.

"Odier objects to any religion that pretends to offer liberation in any form other than simple, personal experience. Odier’s tantrism focuses on 'micropractices,’ conscious withdrawal from habitual activities for just a few seconds several times a day. The crux is to attain consciousness, presence. Beyond this, there is no goal.

"For when there is eventually presence in every activity, the luminosity of existence pervades everything. At this point, the smallest things give pleasure. Gross desires fall away, to be replaced by spontaneous desires arising in a life of grace and joy.”

It's a difficult archetype, but so necessary.

IN FAIRY TALE REALMS, a COMPASSION OUTLAW is someone who defies societal norms to act with radical kindness, empathy, and justice.

Their adventures involve acts of rebellion against oppressive systems, daring rescues, and transformative encounters that challenge the status quo. Here are the kinds of acts and adventures they engage in:

1. Stealing to Give: COMPASSION OUTLAWS steal from corrupt rulers or greedy merchants to provide food, medicine, or shelter to the poor and downtrodden. They leave mysterious gifts in the night, earning legends among villagers.

2. Defying Cruel Laws: They break unjust laws, such as freeing prisoners wrongly accused or helping forbidden love flourish despite societal restrictions.

3. Healing in Secret: Using forbidden knowledge of herbs or magic, they heal the sick and wounded who are abandoned by society or deemed unworthy of care.

4. Rescuing the Oppressed: COMPASSION OUTLAWS infiltrate a tyrant’s castle to rescue enslaved workers or kidnapped children, using clever disguises and daring escapes.

5. Aiding Magical Creatures: They protect misunderstood magical beings, like a dragon hunted by villagers or a fairy whose forest is being destroyed, earning allies from otherworldly realms.

6. Facing Moral Dilemmas: COMPASSION OUTLAWS encounter situations where their compassion is tested, like helping someone who betrayed them or choosing between saving one life versus many.

7. Outwitting Villains: Using wit and clever tricks, they outsmart greedy kings, cruel knights, or corrupt officials who seek to capture them for their "crimes."

Compassion Outlaws inspire others to rise up against oppression, creating movements of kindness and justice that spread across the land.
