Beatles Still Preaching Crowley's Lie

10/31/2013

The Beatles had a fascination with the occultist Aleister Crowley who brazenly rejected the Bible and Jesus Christ, claiming that the God of the Bible is "the devil" and "the doctrines of Jesus alone have degraded the world to its present condition" ( The World's Tragedy, pp. xxx, xxxix). Crowley's own mother referred to him as "The Great Beast of Revelation whose number is 666," and he was pleased with the title. The Sunday Express called him "one of the most sinister figures of modern times" and charged him with being "a drug fiend, an author of vile books, the spreader of obscene practices." Crowley has had a great influence on rock & roll. The International Times voted Crowley "the unsung hero of the hippies." This is because of Crowley's licentious lifestyle and anti-God, anti-law philosophy, which he summarized as follows: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." Crowley was one of characters who appeared on the cover of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album, and they testified that these were their "heroes." John Lennon said that "the whole Beatle idea was to do what you want ... do what thou wilst, as long as it doesn't hurt somebody" (Lennon, cited by David Sheff, The Playboy Interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, p. 61). Paul McCartney's 2013 hit song "New" still preaches Crowley's lie: "We can do what we want; we can live as we choose. See there's no guarantee; we've got nothing to lose" ("New," Paul McCartney, 2013). The thing one has to "lose" by living as you please in rebellion to God's holy laws is one's eternal soul. "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:26).
