But the most disturbing thing to me,
and the most difficult to understand,
is what millions of animals suffer
every single day of their "lives";
animals whose consciousness is
reasonably comparable to that of
an infant, or even a 3-year-old child.

It boggles the mind and heart to think
that people who are not insanely sick,
and have suffered no horrific perversion,
still persist in turning a blind eye
and/or contributing to such atrocities.

To see good people -- kind, loving people,
who are apalled by most forms of violence, --
committing the most hideous acts of cruelty.

And doing it with smiles, around the table,
toasting one another and celebrating good things.

Or with tears in their eyes,
lamenting some instance of violence
which is negligible by comparison
with the ones they daily support.

The irony is maddening.

How their hearts can twist and break and bleed
for unfortunate members of their own species, --
and even for select animals, like dogs and cats, --
and yet they pay no mind to the gentle cow or pig
who spends a hellish lifetime in cramped captivity;
mistreated, malnurished, often tortured and beaten,
and finally slaughtered "like a piece of meat".

Those who see this feel like timetravellers
who have arrived in a very primitive time,
where people have not yet come to understand
the most rudimentary ethical considerations.

Maybe, lionseye, if you can help me
to understand the abuse of animals,
and its general acceptance in our time,
I could help you to understand the abuse
of infants, and its acceptance among a
relatively miniscule number of sickos.

Maybe not.

"Crowley welcomed the First World War as necessary to sweep away the old age and usher in the new one. After going public with his revelations, he was made head of the German-based Ordo Templi Orientis that he had joined in 1912. The OTO emphasis on sexual magic was precisely what Crowley had been searching for. He founded his cult of Thelema in Sicily in 1920, but was expelled in 1923 amid accusations of, among other things, blood drinking, drug taking, and child sacrifice"
"Dover, made a selling point of the claim that the book contains Crowley’s admission that he himself carried out ritual killings of children, a point not lost on a certain Henry Bibby at the end of the century. Having recommended to his readers the choice of “a male child of perfect intelligence,” Crowley later acknowledges that some of his acolytes might be squeamish when it comes to ritual sacrifice and offers the following conscience clause: “Those magicians who object to the use of blood have endeavoured to replace it with incense … But the bloody sacrifice, though more dangerous, is more efficacious; and for nearly all purposes human sacrifice is best.” Crowley offered no comforting disclaimers. He described his opus as a course of training, to help people from all walks of life “fulfill themselves perfectly.” And he promises that “the student will discover … a practical method of making himself a magician.” Within the same work, Crowley makes reference to unspecified progressive forms of blood sacrifice and he advocates self-mutilation, the offering of blood and virginity, and animal sacrifice by crucifixion. Crowley notoriously baptised a frog and called it “Jesus Christ” and then crucified it. This was in 1916, while living in New Hampshire, USA, during his induction ceremony to raise himself to the rank of magus. The remainder of Crowley’s life is a long legacy of perversion and evil. He believed that degrading sexual practice and drug use destroyed the consciousness of any sense of morality. This in turn enabled the consciousness, deprived of any sense of “ought” or “law,” to come under the influence of powerful supernatural beings. Former Labour prospective politician and National Children’s Home employee, David Hallam, commenting of Crowley’s opus, said: “People who are inadequate might pick up something like Crowley’s Magick in Theory and Practice and believe that they can control peoples’ lives by using magic, believing that if they do this to a child, they will have power. I cannot understand why anybody would want to publish a book advocating the ritual slaughtering of children. No doubt there’s a massive market for occult material. But publishers must remember that these are often handbooks. People are picking them up for a purpose. These thoughts came from the Book "The Edge of Evil by. Jerry Johnston (after the Enyclopedia of Occultism and Parasychology) he says that Crowley’s own son died a ritual death.

This is why our world is so ****** up currently there are thousands of members of underground Sects of Aleister Crowleys students and they continue his practice although hidden from view.

A contemporary British satanic magazine, Fenrir, published by the Thormynd Press in Shropshire, England, featured an article in its third issue titled “A Gift for the Prince.” The following are extracts: “Human sacrifice is powerful magick. The ritual death of an individual does two things: it releases energy … and it draws down dark forces. Sacrifice can be voluntary, of an individual, or involuntary … or results from events brought about by satanic ritual and/or planning (such as wars). Voluntary sacrifice usually only occurs every seventeen years as part of the ceremony of recalling. … An involuntary sacrifice is when an individual or individuals are chosen by a group, Temple, Order. Such sacrifices are usually sacrificed on the Spring Equinox. Great care is needed in choosing a sacrifice: the object being to dispose of a difficult individual or individuals without arousing undue suspicion. … The bodies are then buried or otherwise disposed of, care being taken if they are found, for suspicion not to fall on any of those involved. Those involved, of course, must be sworn to secrecy and warned that if they break their oath their own existence will be terminated. Breaking the oath of sacrifice draws down upon them the vengeance of all satanic groups. … Those who participate in the Ritual of Sacrifice must revel in the death(s): it being the duty of the Master and Mistress to find suitable participants.”

Few groups will openly describe themselves as being black magic practitioners or Satan worshippers. They will hide themselves behind something less ominous sounding like Wicca, paganism and nature worship. It all appears so harmless on the surface, but underneath the ugly traditions can be discovered. Traditions which would frighten off the sincere enquirer immediately. … One of the best known names in an ever-increasing gallery of infamy is Aleister Crowley who founded the so-called religion of Thelema. … I make mention of Crowley and his pathetic life because so many of today’s magical orders fashion themselves upon him and adopt ‘Thelema’ as a gateway to pure devil worship and classical Satanism. … The black arts, needless to say, attract a massive number of rogues and charlatans who impose upon the credulity of misguided seekers. Power over others is always the motive behind the devious jargon and rigmarole of their magic.“ ~ (From Satan To Christ p13-14).

So most people only see the mysterious child disappearances and think nothing of it. They choose children who will not be missed, orphans, children of impoverished families. I imagine even children of 3rd world countries are easy pray. So unnerving the truth is. But liberating as well. We must walk this Earth as aware individuals. Just our knowledge of what is going on helps us make better decisions in protecting ourselves and our children.

Remember that in order for there to be light there must be be darkness. The poles must be held in place by someone to allow the duality of consciousness to be there.
All is as it should be and as the last vestiges of this karma is dealt with may we all continue to be strong knowing all is as it should be. We must keep our resonance up, and not allow the darker things of this world to discourage us, know there is method to there madness though. That is why it has been so successful.
