I put great stock in the notion that we choose our lives AND our names before we are born. I like to break down names into anagrams to find hidden meanings.
My full name works out as ALEISTER BEAST ROLLS. What are the chances of having two names that Crowley went by in your name? It would certainly explain why I don't need to perform complex rituals to force my will upon reality. And in my 20's(some 30 years ago)I had on the right temple of my head I had a 666 written in freckles. I showed it to a guy who was studying theology and he just found it funny. Those freckles have gone now. Maybe I should have also told him that my national insurance numbers add up to 666...if you do it right.
Maybe I'm not Crowley. Maybe he is hidden inside me, like his name hidden in my name.
I have to say BE A REAL TOSSER STILL is also found in my name.
No! Don't try to work out my name and steal my identity!
Always been skeptical of “past lives”. How come everyone remember themselves as Crowley, Alexander the Great, or Ghandi but never as a nile rice worker or an 1800s factory worker?

Personalities aren't "reborn", Individualities are though! The Individuality does however remember All of it myriad Personalities, nothing is ever Lost? I put this out for the considered opinion of y'all.

Who would want to admit past lives no more exciting than their current one? Who would even want to remember that? Lost loves? All the pains? Fears? Or endless work often times getting them nowhere?
People want amazement, they idolize some ancestors, but I think that it is very rare for a person to want to look back at their true past.
I'd like to believe in past lives. This concept was explored by paranormal researchers. Guy Playfair's The Indefinite Boundary relates some interesting accounts. I've been puzzled at the general amnesia surrounding reincarnation. Maybe it's not so puzzling since most people tend to forget the vast majority of their life experiences outside of significant events.
In Alien Interview, author Lawrence Spencer provides the likely fictional account of an alien found 'alive' at the crash site of the 'UFO' in New Mexico last century. This alien described itself as a 'spirit' being (IS-BE) inhabiting a 'doll' body. The only person present who could communicate telepathically with this alien was an Army nurse who was present at the time. The alien said that there is an amnesia field which prevents IS-BEs in this part of the galaxy from recalling their existences as nearly eternal beings. They become trapped in a cycle of incarnations and forgetting who they are. IS-BEs become linked to physical plane organic and inorganic bodies through resonance of some kind. Higher order IS-BEs remain capable of switching bodies at will.
I recently had an interesting dream with nothing relating to anything I've known in my current memories, but the feelings seemed real enough. In the dream, "I" was nobody of importance and dealing with a troubled relationship with someone. "I" wasn't handling things very well either. Past life? Who knows.
Take it all under consideration. I prefer to avoid attachment to belief or disbelief.
I always think of Algernon Blackwood's The Insanity of Jones short story when people reference past lives. Might be a good read for yourself if you want to pull past selves etc into this life.
In the sense of Plato this has to do with being cyclic rebirth in the world of particulars, which reconciles Heraclitus's concept of change as the only perceptual reality available to us with the more Pythagorean notions of an eternal unchanging true reality. Particular individuals suffer amnesia because existence "down here" is to be immersed in imperfect shadows of Form (or Ideas, Essences, Exemplars, etc.) which radiate into "nothing", or the hylic world. Basically, adapting from the Pythagoreans, the Platonic sense of purpose in transmigration is purification of the soul through recognition of the Forms, the memory of which is jogged by careful examination of particulars. This liberates the soul from the cycle of delusion and restores it to its rightful place with the pure Intellect or Nous, which he considered and improvement on Anaxagoras's teleology. It's interesting to compare Plato's notion with Eastern ideas about reincarnation.
Recently, a podcast by Rabbi Efraim Pavlov, he gave the Kabbalistic explanation regarding the concept of Gilgul as that you are not allowed to know because it would be like cheating. You have to do the right thing because it is the right thing, not because you know you screwed it up in a prior life.
There is a Kabbalistic concept of incarnation known as Ibbur, where one may be temporarily possessed by another soul, a sort of "walk in" type of reincarnation. Crowley was a notorious and sometimes cruel practical joker, so maybe he was just "jumping in" to form a connection so as to mess with you From Beyond. Of course, if the stories of the "demon Crowley" just using cruelty as a teaching tool are true, then he is really just helping you out - or so he would say.
But lets say for the sake of argument you are Crowley - what's your mission this time? Do you like mountain climbing and writing epoch changing poetry?
Could you jog your memory into anamnesis and tell us all if there was a hidden meaning behind the poem Celia's Farts?
I say that with some jocularity as a magician once proposed to me that I was Crowley myself, the only reason I could think of is because I have "bug eyes".
The popular rumour seems to be there are many. I haven't encountered any that made the claim irl, and you're only the second I've seen online(they used anagrams too).
I've come to lean toward the popular rumour being a tool for slander when not philosophically inclined.
Anagrams previously not useful for the reincarnation claim.
It's natural to identify with those who have attributes one aspires to. τὸ μέγα θηρίον as Magus is one.
Reincarnation makes sense if looking at one's own qualities that would carry over to identify themselves to themselves and others.
For myself, I can look to astronomy and mysticism as strong identifiers. Things I would do on any planet at any time. Past life experiences carried in the memory of Angels winging along with the migration of the heavenly dust of discrete Souls.

Yeah but a thousand dudes today all claim to be the same dead great man from the past. I think it’s shrouded in a veil of narcissism and delusions of grandeur, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to believe someone’s “past life”

Even Crowley insisted he had been Eliphas "Alphonse Louis Constant" Levi, who died in 1875, the year of Crowley's birth! It seems folks are deluded or they think they can baffle us with B$, I dunno?
If most of us bone and meat sacks actually performed authentic past-life regressions, we would all have visions of eating nuts, cleaning our bushy tails, climbing trees and dodging canines, felines & raptors.
My idea is that since we are all emanations of The All, we all technically were Crowley and Corey Feldman and Hitler and Elvis in our past lives.
I know I was a low ranked Wehrmacht soldier who got killed by the British in 1945 somewhere in France in a past life. I also was housekeeping staff on a cruise liner traveling the stars sometime in the far future in a past life (time isn't linear, who knew lol). I also was Jesus Christ in a past life. And those are just the past lives I've actively witnessed when I was exploring past lives on a lark.
Assuming this is accurate to your clarity of regressed vision, this would have made you a remnant in France, as the Germans fled in the Summer/Autumn of 1944 and the remaining German military were on La Rochelle defending themselves in the Atlantic. The only credit to the Germans were they remained until Germany surrendered, holding a strategic U-Boat installation and defending against a constant barrage of Allied invasion forces.

Not entirely sure, might have been late '44. All I know is I was in a village in the west as the whole front was falling back. The British soldiers downed me as the rest of my squad was escaping. They approached me as I was bleeding out to confirm the kill, but then I heard the officer say "don't waste the ammo" when one of them was gonna mercy kill me.
I know I was in France at some point and the village was near the border, but I can't recall what side of that border I was on when I died.
My other lives that I saw when I was exploring my past lives weren't nearly as interesting, and none of this really has any bearing on my current incarnation, but it is interesting nonetheless.

It's a common mistake that most people claim to be someone famous. Most people actually recall very mundane past lives. It is just that we only hear of the more fantastic ones through the selective media. Having said that I do recall seeing A TV show where something like ten people ALL claimed to be Napoloen or someone as famous. I do believe it is possible for the soul to split into infinite parts.

If Crowley is playing a game then I have to wonder how he engineered my name containing HIS surname and his pseudonym with no remaining inconsequential letters left over! I am quite similar to Crowley: Interested in weird stuff since I was a kid, leaning towards the darker aspects of life. I also started going bald in my 20s and can't keep off the Mars Bars. Celia's farts?HAH. Sounds like my kind of poem. I did have a couple of poems published in my 20s. Also some short sureal horror stories.
Oh and I completley forgot! Crowley made out that Choronzon's gematria number was 333. Well my birthdate is 31st of March 1973. Three 3's. And my favourite suspect for Jack The Ripper? Roslyn D'nston. Who Crowley believed was the ripper. I actually think I may be Roslyn too(I have several minds in one body). He was born in Hull as I was. His real name was Robert. As is mine. He lived in an area of Hull called Sculcoates. I live right opposite Sculcoates Lane. He also lived on Charles Street. I worked there at some point. I've always been into the occult, as I mentioned. And I've been a keen fan of serial killers since I was a teen.(especially the ripper)I am preparing my theory that Roslyn and the Order of The Golden Dawn were involved in the Ripper murders. I've been writing it up for ages now. Just when I think it is done something else crops up. It all involves Venus btw. Rosyln's hermetic name was TAUTRIADELTA. Which to me sounds like a T made from three triangles. So again we get the 333.
Also(this never ends!) when I was a kid there was a TV series called HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR. One episode was called Guardian Of The Abyss. It was about a secret magical society trying to get Choronzon into a human body for some reason. They first try to get the demon into a woman called Allison...played by an actress called ROSALYN Landor. Hoho. That fails but then they target a guy called Michael ROBERTS. My name is Robert as mentioned. They manage it this time. So either I'm involved in some weird sh*t or I've been suckered by a massive web of coincidence. The persona of Choronzon fits with mine. I enjoy nonsense. Lewis Carroll to surrealism to dadaism to William Burroughs. I see the world we live in as a blip in the infinity of dreamlike madness. Magic is that madness intruding into this logical ordered bubble we live in.
It is possible that I am not Crowley or possessed by him. I have a theory that our minds are capable of seeing anagrams in every word we see, especially those words we call names. So his names could be there as a kind of primer to influence my life. For instance your name may contain HITLER and this would give you maybe a sense of strong willpower. But you may be no more the reincarnation of Hitler than J.K Rowling is. I have the word BEAST in my name and I have been really interested in the beast of Revelation for years. I also have the word STAIRS. I fell down the stairs when I was a kid.
You noticed my runic avatar then? That's actually part of one of the Zodiac Killer's ciphers. He sent three sections of a cipher to three newspapers after he killed Darlene Ferrin. Tyr, as you'll know, lost his hand to Fenrir. Look at the name Ferrin again. It's an anagram of Fenrir. The middle section of his cipher has the TYR in it. A year later he sent a halloween card to a press guy called Paul Avery which has a symbol that nobody has deciphered. It is actually two Futhark runes. One being TYR the other being ANSUZ(meaning God).
If you reverse the TYR rune you get the rune for water(Laguz)So the symbol means WATER GOD. Zodiac always killed by water or killed near streets/places linked to water. Runes are of course letters. In the symbol they stand for L and A. There are four dots between the runes. So the fourth letter is D. So L D A. Rearrange and you get DAL. The initials of Donna Ann Lass, who went missing a few weeks before the Halloween card was sent. She is now considered by a lot of people to be a ZODIAC victim.
The runic symbols actually connect to the recent murder of Jill Dando. She appeared on the front of a TV listings magazine which was shown on TV. I saw it at the time it was first aired and the thought "Oh she has got to die." passed through my head for some reason. She was shot dead a few days later. Look into it. Anyway, just a few weeks ago while writing about Zodiac and his runes I got the urge to take a closer look at the magazine she was on(the radio times btw). She is stood in front of a car with her legs spread. She is obscuring most of the license plate. The parts that are showing happen to match the runic Zodiac symbol in question. A 7 a four(there are four dots between the runes) and an F, but the two numbers are in the wrong order. Whoever is in my head is connected to Zodiac. I think it may be a soul that leaps from one potential killer to the next, pushing them and feeding off their emotions as they kill. BTW the 7 is next to a 3. I was born 1973. I'm telling you, I am mixed up in some really big stuff. I know it all sound grandiose but my sceptism has waned over the years as the evidence has mounted up.
It's a long story and I intend to post my evidence on here at some point.
