Moses - YHVH Jeshua - ? Lao Tzu - Tao Crowley - Thelema
“There are many magical teachers but in recorded history we have scarcely had a dozen Magi in the technical sense of the word. They may be recognized by the fact that their message may be formulated as a single word, which word must be such that it overturns all existing beliefs and codes. We may take as instances the Word of Buddha-Anatta (absence of an atman or soul), which laid its axe to the root of Hindu cosmology, theology and psychology, and incidentally knocked away the foundation of the caste system; and indeed of all accepted morality. Mohammed, again, with the single word Allah, did the same thing with polytheisms, patently pagan or camouflaged as Christian, of his period. Similarly, Aiwass, uttering the word Thelema (with all its implications), destroys completely the formula of the Dying God. Thelema implies not merely a new religion, but a new cosmology, a new philosophy, a new ethics. It co-ordinates the disconnected discoveries of science, from physics to psychology, into a coherent and consistent system.” - The Confessions of Aleister Crowley:
“Next I would receive my “word.” The embodiment of all I had to teach, in a single word. For Moses, his word was “YHVH”. For Lao Tzu, his word was “Tao.” Mine was “Lil.” The ancient Sumerian word for “heaven” or “the heavens.” The paradigm I understand for helping people replicate my results is found in the heavens - in the stars.”” - Damien Echols
