Although I can't say that I "know" what Crowley's motivation in Egypt was...
I can just say what it _looks like_ to me.

Law
Dear Friends
Thank you for the info
- i suppose the american OTO needs to receive its own "fourth chapter"
that would really carry it forward - some new revelation - but so far its
mainly footnote fodder - been done to death really - the enduring legacy of
Kenneth Grant is that he did indeed develop the mythos - perhaps adding
something that wasn't really there in the original inspiration - ie the
whole Sethian thing - it needed to be done as Crowley picked such an
uninteresting piece of Egyptian mythology although one kindof knows what he
was looking for?
Blessings to Caroline Tully for elucidating Crowley's motivation in Egypt
and why even he failed to follow up and actually go find Ankh afna Khonsu?

> William Breeze who is OHO OTO wants to change the word fill to kill in the
verse interpretation that Crowley wrote of the Stele of Ankh af na Khonsu.

Third Chapter by Aiwass who then moved on with dictating.
> Based on finding one copy of the Book of the Law in which Crowley had
crossed out the 'f' in fill and replaced it with a 'k' to make kill, Breeze
wants to change the 'official' OTO text version of the Book of the Law.
> I agree that OTO are running out of viable ideas.
> Crowley always held the copyright in his own name. He died a bankrupt and
his copyrights became the property of the Crown. It is OTO trying to squeeze
a few more bucks out of Crowley's books.
