perfection requires liberating the self from restriction and entering a state
of child-like energy, and that such perfected energy was in its essence
ecstatic and artistic.<SPAN> 
</SPAN>Consequently, he developed and applied a technique of dramatic ritual,
almost a genre in itself, which married all the conventions of magic and all
the conventions of drama in order to unite the microcosm and the macrocosm, the
higher and the lower self, through an experience engaging all of the
faculties.<SPAN>  </SPAN>Through his early
success with his dramatic-ritual form, his failure with the public <I>Rites of
Eleusis</I><SPAN>, and his continued reworking of his
“new methods of Magick,” Crowley enacts his basic prophetic creed
that “<B>All Art is Magick</B></SPAN>,” that all magic is
liberating, and that liberation is the right of all humankind.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/812EC1D4-5A8A-4A1E-8470-690902B0D121/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
