However if one looks in the Aleister Crowley Desk Reference by Jerry

The God-Eater is a play published in a limited edition in 1903. It was 
included in Volume 2 of Crowley's Collected Works which was reprinted in 
the 1970s/1980s

THE BEAST OF REVELATIONS
COMMENTS ON THE GOD-EATER

Imagine the plight of the Magus
when he discovers that al1 he had
hoped possible for himself is gone
awry through his lust for result;
the terrible moment comes when he
finds that al1 his sacrifice of
that which he loved most comes to
nothing in the hands of Rupha, the
Hag of Eternity! His beloved Sister,
in whom al1 power is given, to
become a Goddess, that he might become
her Priest; wielding the Power
bought at so terrible a ransom!
How the fortunes of the Wheel turn
upon al1 that he has wrought.
What wounds lie ahead of the
Magus as he wends his way through
the twisted paths and byways that
Lie between himself and his goal.
So easy to turn to the Left-hand
Path, and become enmeshed in the
Ego's seeking Of satisfaction of its desires.
Crowley himself gave up al1
that he had but for the barest
necessities of livelihood, all that
he loved, and al1 who might love
him, Perderabo, who had need of
much love, more so than any ordinary
man, if only that the Way of
the Wanderer, the Hermit who hath
no place to call his home, nowhere
to rest his weary head for a
moment, needeth love from any
who may turn to him and say,
“take comfort, though your
road be hard and difficult to
endure your burden, yet may
what love I might give ease you
somewhat. "
But this was not to be.
Crowley had the first real
understanding of this at the
writing of the God-Eater, and
the truth bore out. The Way o f
Malamat, the Way of Blame, lies
heavy on the heart, but is most
necessary for the Man o f Power,
lest any be tempted t o seek him
out because that simply his
Powers draw them to him. And
that any might find him easy,
that he might do another's
work, or that any might seek him
out before their initiate right
to do so, the Magus must endure
the Way of Blame.
The story of the God-Eater
is the story of every True Magus;
the blood-curdling sacrifices of
self-Ego-I into the selfless and
Purified Magus who from the very
first has been stripped of all the
Power, simply because IT IS TO THE
HOLY MOTHER NUIT THAT ALL POWER
MUST ULTIMATELY GO, AND IT IS
ALSO FROM HER THAT ALL; POWER
EMANATES.
If a Magus exists, it is
simply that she desires that he
exist. His very existence is
positive proof of her Love.
One must certainly not ignore
the influence of Sex-Magick
of notably the O.T.O. upon Crowley's
work: but little perusal
of the piece of working shown is
obviously going to lead to some
understanding that this work also
shows the transmutation of the
Mystical Marriage between the Rose
and the Rood, or Cross.
The Tau significances and etc.
are to be taken for an early examination
of the Star Sapphire Working,
and lest one think this easily
understood, remember that only
the most ignorant and uninitiated
think that somehow Sex-Magick has
somewhat to do with Fertility
Worship, fetishes, etc,
It is simply that the Mystical
Marriage endures the exist of
the Father and Mother by the
existence of the Son and Daughter,
the True Parents of the Holy Trinity.

No more: it shall be left
there; the secret of the IXth
degree is still for you to discover
it; it must needs be conferred
by initiation, nevertheless, if
it is Thy will to waste time
with the understanding that one
has ALL THE TIME THERE IS--Then
It is Thy Will, Brothers and
Sisters, and until you Do, whatever
must be Thine to Do, You
are welcome to your desires,
whatever they may be. There are
also, if you feel you are not
getting enough right now, some
passionate droppings and leavings
of The Beast lying about. And
Lying is the right word.
The obvious relations of the
God-Eater to the Rituals of the
Golden Dawn and the complex connections
also with the Rosicrucian
and Ancient Gnostic Workings as
those of Pythagoras must remain
for the reader to discover, as
this commentary limits itself by
need of the moment. If one wishes
to find work similar to that described,
it can best be had by
diligent and intentional study of
the system of Ceremonial Magick.
May it be suggested that the beginner
get hold of Eliphas Levi's
Transcendental Magic and go on
from there, if you've the Will.
This work is more a study in
mysticism than Magick, in the
sense that it deals, and rightly
so, with the problem of the illusion
of Maya, stilling of thoughts,
and the absolute control of, and
elimination of, timidity in the
Magus' work. Evolution comes hard,
and no sacrifice must be withheld,
no project too daring, no idea
avoided, no fact buried under
emotional reaction, no lesson too
expensive for the True Brother who
exeriseth his Magickal Will.
No bondage too great to release
one's self from it; no
attachment so joyous and passionate
that it cannot be thrown, cast
off like the dross dung that it is;
If one would follow the way which
cannot be followed, it requires the
loss of all that one thinks he now
possesses, or may possess. External
ownership, internal ownership.
Whether it be career or idea, Wife,
Friends, Father, Mother, or Suffering--
all, all must be dealt with
ruthlessly. The Aeon is for every
Man and every Woman.
The Aeon is for every Star that
Shineth in its Heaven.
"Father, It is finished." Aumn.
