And so we're back to [Philip K.] Dick's paradox. The Empire is mad, and we don't want to share in its madness and recreate its enslavements in our opposition to it..
But it's made our consciousness part of its dominion, and it exploits our ignorance of ourselves and our power to maintain us in a state of false weakness. We shouldn't want to stop hearts with a burst of psychic energy - that's what they're about - but we should know that, however unlikely, it's possible that we could. And then we should try to do something better

Probably, because it's as true about Crowley as it is about Echanis. The real problem with people like Crowley and Echanis (and Count Dante too for that matter) is that they attracted such cults of personality about themselves that it can be difficult to skim the fact from the fiction unless you do alot of reading both pro and con about them. Fortunately for me I do a tremendous amount of reading and study on subjects that interest me...
