The Occult Lesson of REVERSAL ~
One of Crowley's chief insistances was that his followers learn and put into practice the Occult Law of Reversal. In the many various and sundry classes he instructed in his home in the occult, he invariably instructed his multitude of excited students in this major law of Satan.
Those who want fame, power, spell-casting abilities, demons at their beck and call, and to recognize the godhead within, as well as to know the past, present, and future, he extolled to his apt students, must consistently, with intensity, practice talking (reverse speech), walking, thinking, and playing phonograph records, backwards. This is a form of divination, and we are warned against this in the Holy Bible.
The Two Most Important Laws of Satanism
The first law, the "Law of Reversal," is the crux of Satanism! Consider the following:
The Black Mass: The entire Roman Catholic litergy of the Mass is performed backwards, or in reverse. Everything is read backwards, or in reversed speech. The Cross in the Black Mass is hung upside down (reverse) over the Satanic altar.
The Anti-Christ: This signals the reverse or direct opposite of Christ.
Heaven is the reversal of Hell. Heaven is up. Hell is down.
God is Light. The Devil is Dark.
The second law, "Self-Awareness":
This sounds modern, but in effect comes from ancient Babylon. The teachings basically are: All is one. Man is a divine being within. Life's purpose is to realize the divine within. Other terms used to describe this are Nirvana, the atonement or at-one-ment, God-consciousness, the satori, and the samadhi.
This state of Gnosis, or Self-Realization of who you are can be finally attained, though Yoga meditation or the like, only by turning within. Then, you self-realize that all life and all about you is Maya, or Self-Illusion. When this is achieved, you now recognize you are God!
