yes, aleph, i'm sure everyone here is impressed with the cool way you rose 
above such biased, ignorant posts. you really give the impression of a man 
who is comfortable and confident in his beliefs. no hint of instability 
there!

i honestly think crowley did have some spiritual insights, and i also 
believe he wasted them by indulging in samsaric pleasures. but if this is 
not the case then perhaps you could enlighten us?

yes, i am very unstable. for the record, i do not consider myself a buddhist 
in that, as you say, my behaviour often contradicts the teachings. i do, 
however, believe that everything buddha said is true, and therefore i 
encourage people to dig deeper for themselves if they feel so inclined. in 
particular i consider geshe kelsang gyatso to be an authentic living 
spiritual guide. http://www.kadampa.org/english/index.php &
