8 Lectures on Yoga

 

Yoga - Code for Mind Control

The Magus assures you -- the quickest way to control the mind of others is to first learn to control your own.  Now this is no easy task for most, men spend their entire striving for perfection, just to fail in the end.

Aleister Crowley however developed a system to cut out all the un-necessaries of traditional Yogis and provide the reader with a clear, sometimes even step-by-step look into the art of mind control; don't forget to test and experiment for yourself.  Feel free to spend a week or more learning and going through these lectures once, twice even three times.  The insight found in Aleister Crowley's, 8 Lectures on Yoga, is a true means to an end.  Yoga, control of mind, is priceless to the accomplished magus.  However will always remain valueless to those who never took the time to read it.

Aleister Crowley has achieved the reputation of being a master of the English language. This book which is as fresh and vibrant today as when it was penned over thirty years ago demonstrates this fact. It shows how impossible it is to categorize him as a particular kind of stylist. At turns he can be satirical, poetical, sarcastic, rhetorical, philosophical or mystical, gliding so easily from one to the other that the average reader is hard put to determine whether or not to take him at face value.

His description of mystical states of consciousness clarifies what tomes of more erudite writing fails to elucidate. It is in effect a continuation of Part I of Book 4 brought to maturity. Nearly three decades had elapsed between the writing of these two books, in which time his own inner development had soared ineffably. A great deal of what he has to say may seem prosaic at first sight, but do not be fooled by this. Other of his comments are profound beyond belief, requiring careful and long meditation if full value is to be derived from them.

This is not a book to be read while standing or running. It is a high water mark of Crowley's literary career, incorporating all that we should expect from one who had experimented with and mastered most technical forms of spiritual growth. There is humor here, a great deal of sagacity, and much practical advice. This book cannot be dispensed with for the student for whom Yoga is 'the way.'
