/lit/ - Literature

Because no one here is retarded or that retarded, respect your /lit/ brethren OP, fuck you and fuck off

Because I'm not retarded and realize its just a complete bastardization of what basically amounted to medieval philosophy on life.
Everyone that got far enough into it to think they could actually do something magical died poor and alone like the dumbfucks they were.

Yea, it's a bastardization of it. Have you read about where Crowley's beliefs come from??

831. —What is a "mystical experience"?
—It is an experience you don't understand.
—Shouldn't I try to understand it then?
—Sure you should. And when you do, it will become scientific. I.e. There's no such thing as "mystical experiences", there are only ignorant people who obsess about Greek or Latin words because they (literally) don't understand them, and are too lame to make an honest effort to. Understood?
—No?
—Oh ffs fagot, just piss off.

832. "Mystical experiences" are fascinating. But not so fascinating if called by their English name: "secretive experiences", or "obscure experiences", etc., depending on the precise translation you choose to use. It's like hermeneutics and interpretations: the first is far more fascinating than the second only until you learn some Greek and realize that they are the same thing. In Chinese, it's "jieshì", but that's not fascinating to us and we don't pretend it's an entirely new thing, because it isn't Greek, you see. The world of the intellect is already complex enough, but to common people it appears twice or thrice more complex than that simply because they don't speak Greek or Latin.

833. Final word on "mysticism": The entire point of literature is to understand and communicate. And then you have a bunch of yahoos who insist that there are INCOMPREHENSIBLE and INCOMMUNICABLE experiences and thoughts, but who nevertheless pretend... to understand and communicate them.
At which point you realize precisely what the purpose of concentration camps and gas chambers was.
