The Jewish Problem Re-Stated by a Gentile [Aleister Crowley]
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
"It is depressing to see the Jewish problem discussed, even by Jews, from without and not from within, as if its inner aspect did not matter; at all events, as if this were something in which the world at large need take no interest, it being the concern of a few Jewish zealots only. Over against this mistaken position these very Jewish zealots, who are far from obsolete, claim that the only way to solve the Jewish problem is from within. Find the right solution for the internal problem of the Jew, and the external problem, created by the persistence of anti-Semitism, will solve itself." ". . . he [the Pharisee] would rather lose the whole world than lose aught of the riches of his soul. ". . . As for pride, he admits it, yet holds himself guiltless. For pride is no sin, except when one will not live up to it. "It [pride] is compounded of a clear knowledge of one's place, a consciousness of both powers and limitations, and a desire to participate wholeheartedly in the passionate business of living. This pride is the child of reverence, the last summing-up of the sanctities of Individuality. "Its presence is the distinguishing sign of divinely stubborn men, 'terribly meek,' who inherit the earth--and heaven, too. "Of peoples too, even as of persons, the same holds true; modesty is a sin in any people. The chief duty that a people owes both itself and the world is reverence for its own soul, the mystic centre of its being. . . . "Personality spells the mystery of mysteries--the last word of life for which all the worlds and all the ages are in ceaseless travail." "The Jew must be led back to the Discovery of the Jewish Soul."

"The only possible alternative is simply to keep to the immediate experience that consciousness is a singular of which the plural is unknown; that there is only one thing and that what seems to be a plurality is merely a series of different aspects of this one thing…"

Anomalous Events That Can Shake One’s Skepticism to the Core by Michael Shermer
I just witnessed an event so mysterious that it shook my skepticism.
Often I am asked if I have ever encountered something that I could not explain. What my interlocutors have in mind are not bewildering enigmas such as consciousness or U.S. foreign policy but anomalous and mystifying events that suggest the existence of the paranormal or supernatural. My answer is: yes, now I have.

“Fictions are necessary for the people, and the Truth becomes deadly to those who are not strong enough to contemplate it in all its brilliance. In fact, what can there be in common between the vile multitude and sublime wisdom? The Truth must be kept secret, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason.”
- Albert Pike: Morals and Dogma : Scottish Rite in Freemasonry

From the “The Return of the Sorcerer” (featuring the late great Vincent Price) from the TV show The Night Gallery. This episode is an adaption of the classic Clark Ashton Smith horror short story of the same name and is a part of the Cthulhu/Elder God Mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft. The giant painting is from Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot Deck.
