Most theosophists probably haven't read much Crowley.  He was
certainly a fascinating character, but with some rather unfortunate
flaws of character.  This, of course, does not preclude spiritual
experiences of various kinds, and evidence suggests that Crowley
was a competent magician in the Golden Dawn tradition, which is
quite different from the Eastern-influenced mainstream theosophy.

How do you equate Crowley's idea of the A.'.A.'.  with the GWB? Do
you feel that Crowley's tradition was influenced by Those known to
the TS?
