Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 25 January 1943
[I Ching hexagram] 43.
I note that when I have been for any long time free from the sexual impulse a whole group of ideas become ‘obscene’ ‘disgusting’, ‘revolting’ & so on. This group includes contemplation of Yoni, (not Lingam so much) disease, accident, the spectacle of meat, the ideas of war, pain of the physical order and so on. I conclude that humanitarianism, pacifism—all such feelings are functions of sexual weakness, atrophy, or the like. This thesis can be developed very far.
Cont from 24th: Robert Cecil here very delightful: Also Ham [Gerald Hamilton].
MAS [Maurice A. Sutherland] dropped in suddenly to buy a “Fair” [The Fun of the Fair]. Chess: got tired and lost a possibly won game.
