Format:Taschenbuch
Although this volume is more of an interpretation than a translation, since by Crowley's own admission he was working from English texts, nevertheless it displays those multiple levels of spiritual wisdom and understanding which are typical of his best work. In addition, the book serves as an excellent introduction to his work for a broader audience, in that he has omitted his usual technique of shocking the unwary out of complaisancy through the use of humor.
He has somehow managed to synthesize the basic tenets of the Tao Te Ching with his own core doctrine as expressed in the Book of the Law. This resolution of seeming opposites goes to the heart of both systems, in that each teaches that the nature of Truth is Paradox. In this work the author appears (for him) incredibly restrained, as though in awe of the text he is working with. There are many levels of depth to be derived from each chapter, and the book deserves repeated reading and meditation. Those unfamiliar with Crowley's work will have a chance to encounter the depth of his wisdom without trepidation, and old fans will realize herein deeper profundities reserved for the initiated and the willing.

Perseverando told me that the ultimate basis of the Tao is that it is the Reason: I laughed in his face. The Tao is the Higher faculties which appear after the Reason has been destroyed. It is a connecter of the point-events, which the Abyss manifests. The Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel is the way in which Crowley caused the Tao to appear to re-create his Universe in a higher Spiritual Velocity.

A unique and profound version of the Taoist classic.

An Occult Masterwork
11. Dezember 2000
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This unusual book, which many Crowley readers don't even know exists, highlights the author's unique genius. In many respects, Crowley's is a perfectly legitimate, sturdy translation of the ancient Chinese wisdom book. Yet Crowley is able to add just the right wrinkle to its words to subtly infuse it with his "do what thou wilt" philosophy. I wouldn't advise making this version the only Tao Te Ching translation on your shelf -- for that look to Jonathan Star and some of the other master translators. But alongside the existing Tao literature, this is a fascinating and masterful supplement. For Crowley readers, it is a must. And due to its accessibility, this work may even be a good introduction to the nature of Crowley himself. In any case, it shows his intellectual and artistic mastery, not only of occult and esoteric wisdom, but also of poetic form and interpretive art.

Dry, but worthwhile
3. Dezember 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Crowley's intepretation of the Taoist classic is very illuminating, showing if nothing else the flexibility of the Law of Thelema. The book is a peircing look into Crowley's own sycretist mind. However, Crowley's technique of intepretation leads to a very dry reading of the text. The book is set up like a typical Thelemic Liber, with paragraph headings and so forth. The chapters are written in prose paragraphs, rather than free verse as other translations. THus, the poetic power of the text is actually somewhat diminshed. The inclusion of footnotes to explain things is very unTaoist in spirit. Overall, however, Crowley's Toa Te Ching is a very illuminating read. It shows that the Law truly is for all, and that it has been hiding for centuries. This, if nothing else, makes the book worthwhile.
