And Then?
    #23844025 - 11/18/16 02:29 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Here's a story about Aleister Crowley's father I want to share with you guys to get your thoughts on it!

Crowley senior was an ex-beer factory owner who became a born again christian in the 1800s.

He would go around town and go up to anyone he saw doing what ever they were up to (lets say they were chopping wood) and say

"hey buddy! what you up to?"

and they would say

"not much im chopping wood!"

and he would say

"oh sweet! and then what?"

and they would say

"and then im gonna go home!"

and he would say

"sounds nice! and then what?"

and they would say

"and then im gonna bang my wife!"

and he would say

"not bad! and then what"

and they would say

"and then im gonna go to sleep."

and crowley senior would keep responding with "and then what?" until the other person would say

"well...i guess and then im gonna die...."

and he would say

"you see what i mean dont you? you gotta get right with god!"

I find this story to be very interesting and symbolic even though the ending about getting right with god doesnt really match up with the significance i place in it.

to me this story is more just to show that people think they are striving for all these things and in our day to day life we often forget we will all pass away one day and we often live as if we will live forever.

i decided to make this thread because a good friend of mine passed away a few days ago and I've been thinking about it a lot.

what does this story mean to you guys?

That reminds me of this parable:



Sorry to hear about your friend.

You know what pisses me off?


people who have children just because they themselves have had problems such as opiate addictions, abusive parents..etc.

bringing a child into the world just because YOU want to forget your past?

get the fuck out of here







sorry i know this has nothing to do with the OP


--------------------
Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..

I like it when they're white because then they get to stay with their rich parents

Crowleys dad was Christian is what I'm getting from this story. Also I have a good excuse. My dad overdosed last night so I was a bit preoccupied.


The story about his dad asking these questions seems fairly trivial to me but I can understand it having significance

Yeah he is fine,it was scary but it was benzos and seroquel so it made him collapse and blackout but he's okay now. Thank you for asking my friend :hug: No :frown: that's not what I was going to say although I do find it interesting Alister Crowleys dad was Christian.
