“The most important factor in [creating an unbroken flow of knowledge] is … the annihilation of the ego.” – Aleister Crowley

There are so many Thelemic books out there for beginners. At last, here’s one for advanced practitioners—and those who want to understand the Path.

Call it the “feminine formula”, the “path of return”, or “ego dissolution”—if you go far enough in Thelema, you must surrender your “I”. And if you do Dare that passage—and survive with your sanity intact—you inhabit a realm of pure Love. Though strangely hard to notice at first, Aleister Crowley writes about little else.

From sexual alchemy to mysticism to Thelema’s surprisingly robust Buddhist roots, Christopher and Erica Johnson lay bare the Thelemic task of dissolving the imaginary “I”. The volume culminates in the late Magus J. Edward Cornelius’ final work, “I Do Not Exist”, in which he shares the secrets of the “second half of the equation”—the “N” formula of “ON”, never before revealed. Don’t miss this one.

Jerry Edward Cornelius was McMurtry’s  heir as Caliph and head of his A.’.A.’. lineage. Having written over 20 published books on Thelma and Crowleyanity, he ran Love’s Sake Clerk House in Prescott Arizona, until December 8th 2023 when he shed his earthly body. Following Jerry’s death Christopher Reed Johnston assumed the mantle of Caliph, and with help from Erica Johnson, a close student and magickal collaborator of Jerry’s for many years, he intends to carry forward the principles that Grady and Jerry upheld through their lives and work–namely, to continue taking “Crowleyanity” to its next stage, moving the Order in an ever-closer alignment with The Book of the Law and the evolving new Aeon.
