Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Monday, 11 August 1941

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 36.

     

E.N.F. [Edward  Noel Fitzgerald] sent 11/0 for No. 14.

     

11 1/2 [Dr.] Crawshaw at Richmond very amiable, & wrote from my dictation.

     

BUT—my chest expansion is ONE inch.

     

There are few Carschmann’s (?) spirals, or Charcot-Leyden crystals; but enough. See [I Ching hexagram] line 6!

     

3 o’c. Michaud [Jean Michaud]. Helped him with his poetry: can’t get him to understand that he has no right to attribute his own ideas to the Buddha, without being able to quote a single text in support, and call them “the true Buddhism” “what Buddha really taught” etc. What fools egoism makes of men!

     

6 o’c. Donegall not at Dorchester; Printer equally faithless. [I Ching hexagram] 36. Ming I.

     

Wrote Frieda [Frieda Harris].
