POIESIS Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Junkie in blind alley Junkie on the way out of shooting gallery on Lenox Ave in Harlem after his fix Heroin addict in Harlem This guy in a shooting gallery in Harlem asked me to photograph him "to help frighten other young people" so that they would not get to suffer like himself. He was unable to find any more healthy spots to shoot up in and had to take the foul-smelling bandage off his running sores to find a vein. He knew he had less than two years left to live. Pushers in California For a long time I hung out with pushers and criminals in a ghetto I lived in - perhaps being one myself? During our various activities they let me photograph almost without limits. Thus I was nearly shut down by cops with drawn guns when they mistook my flash light for a gun shot. Murder in New Orleans I was playing pool with Butch. While it was my turn, he stepped outside for a moment and killed this guy. I never saw Butch again. Thou shalt not kill New Orleans 1998 Prisoner eating on toilet Through mysterious circumstances I was locked up with my friend, Popeye Jackson, a prison leader, in order to photograph him for the prison paper. Respected by everyone in there, I was permitted to take pictures of the other inmates in their most private moments. Woman shot outside my window in New York At the time I took this picture I was quite shaken. I was living with a prostitute on 11th St when I heard shots outside. I rushed out and took this pictures - quite shaken. Since then I have seen so much of the same in the US that I hardly notice any more. Except when I in 1994 saw two people being executed right in front of my eyes on the lower East Side. I grabbed my camera, but when I realized I was looking down into the eyes of two dying people I couldn't take the photo and started shaking all over. Police and the affluent With my shorthair wig on I managed to get in and live for a few days with the rich here in The Fountainbleau during the republican convention. I adopted so well that after a few days I started looking down at the demonstrators in the streets below with republican eyes as "filthy dirty hippies." At other moments I would take my wig off and join the demonstrators outside such as when I took this picture of the fortress of wealth I had just left. Poor whites in Mississippi Poor whites I always found the hardest to photograph - at least in the USA where they have deeply internalized the prevailing American philosophy - that you are yourself to be blamed for your own misery. Thus they are also robbed of the dignity and pride characterizing the poor in other countries. Klan meeting in Alabama One night between my campus lectures I picked up a hitchhiking Klan member. After helping him get in touch with his painful memories of incest in childhood, he wanted to do anything for me. So he invited me to this mind-blowing secret cross-burning. I let him use my credit card to call home to Tennessee just before the meeting. There he learned that his uncle had just been killed by a black. After those news I was very nervous all night that he would betray me to the other Klan members. Rich girl with maid In Palm Beach, Florida, I lived with this family with a Cuban maid. Girl in red bed Ocho Rios, Jamaica 1988 Linda and mother at sunset So poor were they in Linda's family - right next to Disney World in Florida – that they rarely had light before I moved in with them. I had just stayed with some millionaires in Palm Beach and had a little "millionaire money" with me so I could buy kerosene for their old lamp. Linda ran out to meet her father when he walked home in the darkness, shouting: "Dad, dad, we got a present.... see, see, light.. ...we got light!" Well, the joy didn't last forever! Today I have to visit Linda in prison whenever I want to see her. The scars from childhood poverty eventually defeated her. jacob holdt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Green Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 Aleister Crowley Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Edward Alexander (Aleister) Crowley was born October 12, 1875 in Leamington Spa, England. His parents were members of the Plymouth Brethren. He grew up with a biblical education and an equally thorough hatred of Christianity. He attended Trinity College at Cambridge University, quitting just before completing his degree. Shortly thereafter he was introduced to George Cecil Jones, who was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn was an occult society which taught magic, kabala, alchemy, tarot, astrology, and other hermetic subjects. It had many notable members including A. E. Waite, Dion Fortune, and W. B. Yeats. Crowley was initiated into the Golden Dawn in 1898. He advanced up rapidly through the grades. But in 1900 the order was shattered by schism, and Crowley left England to travel extensively throughout the East. There he learned and practiced the mental and physical disciplines of yoga, supplementing his knowledge of western-style ritual magick with the methods of Oriental mysticism. In 1903, Crowley married Rose Kelly, and they went to Egypt on their honeymoon. After returning from Cairo in early 1904, Rose began entering trance states. She told him that the god Horus was trying to contact him. Crowley took Rose to the Boulak Museum and asked her to point out Horus to him. She passed several images of the god and led Aleister straight to a painted wooden funerary stele from the 26th dynasty, depicting Horus receiving a sacrifice from the deceased, a priest named Ankh-f-n-khonsu. Crowley was impressed by the fact that this piece was numbered 666 by the museum, the number which he had identified since childhood. He began to listen to Rose, and at her direction, on three successive days beginning April 8, 1904, he entered his room and wrote down what he heard dictated from a shadowy presence behind him. The result was the three chapters of verse known as The Book of the Law. In 1906 Crowley rejoined George Cecil Jones in England, and they set created a magical order to continue where the Golden Dawn had left off. They called this order the A.'. A.'. (Astrum Argentium or Silver Star). In 1910 Crowley was contacted by Theodore Reuss, the head of an organization called the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.). This group of high-ranking Freemasons claimed to have discovered the supreme secret of practical magick, which is taught in its highest degrees. Crowley joined, becoming a member of O.T.O. Crowley rewrote the rites of the O.T.O. Crowley referred to himself as "The Beast" and indulged in every aspect of the occult and was obsessed with it. He was into every form of sexual perversion you can imagine. He also had various sexually transmitted diseases. Aleister Crowley died in Hastings, England on December 1, 1947. However, his teachings live on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
