Aleister Crowley was a complicated man who was ahead of his time to such an extent that even now his writings and works still cause major confusion amongst readers today. Now one of the most intersting aspects of Crowley was that he never submitted to those, who saw themselves has the modern chapter of the illuminati. In fact Crowley had to navigate through a lot of obstacles on his path to push his own agenda. Also he allowed himself to be used by British Intelligence during the turn of the 20th Century when he was in america doing propaganda at an American printed newspaper. He done this to allay their fears over his insistence of pushing the concept of Thelema. However...... Crowley was determing who was and wasnt affiliated with those who saw themselves as Illuminati and schisms within Freemasonry. He wanted to ensure whoever was going to create problems for his work , he wanted to ensure that he had good measure of them in case he ran up against them at some future date ( Ref; Secret Agent 666;Spence).

Crowley knew of the Illumninati.

And he was not impressed.

In fact during a communication with a non-human entity during his scrying of the enochina Aethyrs he received a curious prophesy in the 12th Aethyr that predicted the fall of the modern equivalent of the illuminati.....

(Ref;Vision and the Voice:The Cry of the 12th Aethyr)

Quote ;

And this is the meaning of the Supper of the Passover, the spilling of the blood of the Lamb being a ritual of the Dark Brothers, for they have sealed up the Pylon with blood, lest the Angel of Death should enter therein. Thus do they shut themselves off from the company of the saints. Thus do they keep themselves from compassion and from understanding. Accursed are they, for they shut up their blood in their heart.

They keep themselves from the kisses of my Mother Babylon, and in their lonely fortresses they pray to the false moon. And they bind themselves together with an oath, and with a great curse. And of their malice they conspire together, and they have power, and mastery, and in their cauldrons do they brew the harsh wine of delusion, mingled with the poison of their selfishness.

Thus they make war upon the Holy One, sending forth their delusion upon men, and upon everything that liveth. So that their false compassion is called compassion, and their false understanding is called understanding, for this is their most potent spell.

Yet of their own poison do they perish, and in their lonely fortresses shall they be eaten up by Time that hath cheated them to serve him, and by the mighty devil Choronzon, their master, whose name is the Second Death, for the blood that they have sprinkled on their Pylon, that is a bar against the Angel Death, is the key by which he entereth in.

End of quote.

The Dark Brothers are for purposes here the illuminati. What the passage is saying is that they cant bear the fact that they have to let go of the illusion that they have created for themselves. Spiritually the modern chapter of the Illuminati is in limbo. they cant get past the limitations of their control mechanisms that they have used to control the global population. Also notice that the entity in the vision reveals to Crowley the truth of the fake/artificial moon. He was being told at that moment who was pulling the strings behind the scenes in Europe at the time.

Which leads to the question; Why did the Illuminati not kill Crowley?

They tried: There was an altercation where Crowley emptied an old pistol into somone who tried to attack him in the darkness. there was also the issue of him getting hooked on heroin. People say that this was for his Asthma, but it could also be that an enfeebled drugged Crowley would be no threat to them. Even still in that state Crowley still had the better of his own peer group in the occult world.

It should be noted that Choronzon is a "resident" of the Abyss. So it predicts that whatever causes the modern chapter of the Illuminati to collapse, it will not be of this earthly plane......
