Self-Reference & The Occult

Don't aske me how I get this quote (following up something for a friend about J-Zay and the occult)

“There are no “standards of Right”. Ethics is balderdash. Each Star must go on its own orbit. To hell with “moral principle”; there is no such thing”
-Crowley, Aleister. The Old and New Commentaries to Liber AL, II,28.

The principal here is that the Self has its own orbit, or its own nature and we need to remove external restrictions in order to allow ourselves to become what we are.

Needless to say that this itself is balderdash - but I can't prove it yet. The obvious error in it is the belief that something can be itself.

If Aleister Crowley removed all external restrictions so that he could become what he was then he is no longer a slave to the ethics of the outside wold and instead a slave to whatever is inside! Either way he is a slave and has not discovered freedom. But actually he is more a slave of the inside than he ever was of the outside because by his own words he doesn't know what he "is" or "will become". While for the ethical person they know what is ethical and what they will become - that is the notion of the Good. Turning to the light we can see. Crowley turning to the darkness is facing into void into which he cannot see.

No this is not what selfhood is about it is based upon the classic error that everyone is subject to and which we must learn to free ourselves from. Crowley simply gave up the will to learn and instead abandoned himself to his reflection and become totally enslaved.

SRH to be proven one day!
