    Dear Joa,

    >> Well, it is not my intention, in any way, to initiate here a polemic
    about the importance of Aleister Crowley in the contemporary occultism
    because this forum is about the teachings of Franz Bardon. <<

    ;-) One of my duties as your fearless moderator is to assure that we
    stick to our focus here, so there's really no danger of the BardonPraxis
    taking such a diversion.

    >> In any case, I would say that you musn´t be worry because you haven´t
    offended my own set of beliefs, simplely because I am NOT a disciple of
    Aleister Crowley in ANY form. So don´t worry about that! :) <<

    As you pointed out, many of the BardonPraxis members hold Crowley in
    high regard so out of respect I'm always a bit circumspect when it comes
    to publicly discussing my thoughts about Crowley. Besides, how *I* feel
    about Crowley and Thelema is irrelevant. :)

    >> If you are sceptical about the influence of Crowley, you only have to
    take a look to many of the nicknames and e-mail adresses of some persons
    of this forum; you will find in them very clearly a crowleian
    reminiscence. <<

    Yes, I'm very aware of his influence.

    >> You say that the phrase "Love is the Law, Love under Will" is not
    original to Crowley. Well, but then, whose is the original author? <<

    I don't know since that's not an issue that really concerns me. A while
    back, there was a discussion on the FBM about this and someone came up
    with an earlier quote that was closer to Crowley's version than
    Randolph's, but I don't remember where it came from.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
