„He (А. Crowley) worked in a scientific spirit: postulates and beliefs must be tested.
Other than his heroin addiction (we know the story of his Harley St doctor – Dr Batty-Shaw – prescribing smack for asthma), his work with entheogens was experimental, not hedonistic.
His frustration, as with all teachers, lay in the willful and anarchistic tendencies of his pupils; to these he was often kindly, considerate and indulgent.
Some of his teaching methods look questionable in retrospect.
However, those who followed the path he set out generally gained benefit (Jane Wolfe, Wilfrid Smith, Frank Bennett, Louis Wilkinson, Andre Pigne, Karl Germer, Israel Regardie, Robert Cecil, Jacintha Buddicom, for example); there are of course exceptions and sundry failures (do we blame Jesus for Judas?)
Most of his following has been misrepresented to an extreme degree in the very many poor attempts at biographical treatments; this is still a feature of journalistic references. I found that the trail of ruined lives, allegedly left in the wake of knowing the Beast, was not even so much as a trickle, when the individual stories were analyzed. People left the Beast; he never tried to make anyone stay against their will. He has been maligned to an extraordinary degree.
Mr Lachman’s comments about “finding” (as if lost) the True Will show I’m afraid a great unwillingness to grasp the evidence that the discovery of the dynamic core of being (or whatever you wish to call “it”) was the deadly serious axle of his teaching vehicle.
“The most complete collection of attainments and abilities is utterly wasted in the absence of will.” How true.
The corresponding axiom of will, was love (agape) not carelessness."

Ах бре вие со пророци и свети книги, магични или не магични редови и цркви, егзотерични и езотерични, Либер Ал или не Либер Ал, сте ми мили. Ве и не ве разбирам зошто се јадете меѓу себе, крајната дестинација во вашите книги е една иста волонтарна реинтеграција во господ кога читаш преку езотерични редови, Што тогаш имате да изгубите да би се меѓусебно јаделе вака? Начин на живот на земја како и естетика на пракса останува само, Или нема да се јадете меѓусебно бидејќи нема што да изгубите кога би ги прифатиле естетските делови едни на други? Пуста да остане таа човечка склоност за цртање линии
