A Beetle is Just a Beetle Until You Decide That It’s Not?

I received an e-mail (pictured above) from Dr. Beitman yesterday with a link to an article titled 'On Coincidence', which was featured at a sight named AEON.

White Rabbit Episode 1: The New Aeon
I found this to be highly amusing from a personal point of view, because I was reading Crowley's 'The Book of the Law' and was trying to work out just how long an aeon was in general terms.
How Much Free Will Do We as Egos Really Have and is That Something Worth Thinking About?

Just who is the magician when
 it comes to "your" life?

Because Crowley had written that the "new aeon" of Horus started when the book he channeled was written (about 1904).
I was also listening to a podcast I had come across at the time I read Dr. Beitman's e-mail at 'White Rabbit' about the new aeon -
"This discussion opens with the first chapter of Initiation of the Aeon of the Child, Skeleton of a New Truth and focuses on the term aeon, some basic traits of the preceding aeons, that of the Matriarch and Patriarch, and leads into introducing the Aeon of the Child, called the Aeon of Horus."

Hadit Beaded Necklace

"Hadit, "the Great God, the lord of the sky," is depicted on the Stele of Revealing in the form of the winged disk of the Sun, Horus of Behdet (also known as the Behdeti).

However, while the ancient Egyptians treated the Sun and the other stars as separate, Thelema connects the sun-god Hadit with every individual star.

Furthermore, The Book of the Law says: "Every man and every woman is a star."

"The earlier, Egyptian version, went by the name of Heru-Behdeti or Horus of Behdet (Edfu), Haidith in Greek.

Thoth let him take the form of the solar disk to help a younger version of Horus—Re-Horakhty, or Ra-Hoor-Khuit—in a battle with Set and his army.

Both versions of Horus appear in the Egyptian image that Thelemites call Stele 666, a Dynasty 25 or 26 offering stele formerly in the Boulaq Museum, but now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, also known as the Stele of Revealing."

Hadit?-)

The Book of the Law?

I wrote the above e-mail back to Dr. Beitman after reading the article at the link to the AEON website he sent me in his e-mail.

Our e-mails started when I told Dr. Beitman that after listening to him interview David Hand on his podcast show that I had written a post about odds and "the hidden hand" at play in life -
The Improbability Principle: What are the Odds?

.

Just How Random is Life and is There a Hidden Hand at Play?
I don't see Crowley's book as any better than say PKD's 'VALIS' and nowhere near as important as Jung's writings.
Crowley was obviously tapping into something deep in the collective, as well as pulling the wool over his own eyes with his dress up games.
But revealing the "god" of the universe?
F#ck off Al you deluded egotistical Bible-bashed and rebellious poor soul.

A Beatle is just a Beatle until you decide that he’s not;-)

Universal Placebos - Nothing Works Better

A flying winged sun disc, an orb, or just a placebo?

I guess life is full of magic if you think it is.

You could say that magic is just "mind" over matter, in a way, I think;-)
