Par šo e-grāmatu

In "The Psychology Behind Hashish," Aleister Crowley delves into the intricate relationship between mind-altering substances and the human psyche. Through a blend of anecdotal evidence, philosophical musings, and psychological analysis, Crowley articulates the profound effects of hashish on perception, creativity, and spiritual enlightenment. Written in the early 20th century, the book reflects the era's burgeoning interest in psychoactive substances and their potential for unlocking hidden dimensions of consciousness, underpinned by Crowley's distinctively ornate and evocative literary style. Aleister Crowley, an enigmatic figure often labeled as a magician, mystic, and philosopher, was heavily influenced by his explorations into Eastern religions, occult practices, and the human experience of transcendental states. His own experimentation with psychoactive substances informed his understanding and interpretations of altered states of consciousness, leading him to produce this compelling work. Crowley's background in psychology, coupled with his deep-seated beliefs regarding the nature of reality and spirituality, provides a rich foundation for his insights in this book. "The Psychology Behind Hashish" is recommended for both academic audiences and general readers interested in the intersections of psychology, spirituality, and substance use. Crowley's nuanced exploration challenges assumptions about drug use while illuminating the complexities of the human experience. This essential read not only expands the discourse surrounding psychoactive substances but also invites readers to reflect on their own consciousness.

Par autoru

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), born Edward Alexander Crowley, was an influential English occultist, mystic, ceremonial magician, and poet, notorious for his esoteric writings and unconventional lifestyle. He proclaimed himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus, an era of self-realization and personal sovereignty. His written works blend a variety of disciplines including Eastern and Western mysticism, ceremonial magic, and psychology, solidifying his role as one of the seminal figures in modern Western occultism. Among his vast literary output, 'The Book of the Law', Crowley's central sacred text, is particularly significant, as it served as the foundation of his philosophical system, Thelema. In his exploration of the complex realm of psychoactive substances, 'The Psychology Behind Hashish' provides insight into Crowley's interest in the effects of drugs on the human mind and consciousness. His literary style often fluctuated between the didactic to the arcane, reflecting his complex system of magick and Thelemic principles. His influence continues to be felt in various fields of mystical and magical practice, as well as within pop culture and literature, despite the controversial aspects of his life and works.
