0=2

One example of the sort of truly elementary error Crowley occasionally perpetrates is his naive use of division by zero. He apparently believes that 1 divided by 0 equals infinity because zero is "infinitely small". In fact, zero, by definition, is a nothing while the "infinitely small" is a something which forever approaches nearer and nearer to nothingness. If zero actually were the "infinitely small" then it would indeed be perfectly logical to equate an infinity of zeros with oneness. Unfortunately for the literal truth of Crowley's equation, an infinite number of 0's added together still does not equal 1, it equals 0!
   Furthermore, AC's phony "scientific" parlor trick serves only to distract us from some very real philosophical truths which the 0=2 equation conveys. For one thing, it graphically explains the process of creation by the fact that nothing (the point) implies everything (infinity), and vice versa. These two things make up the original pair of opposites which then establishes a dualistic pattern which runs throughout all the subsidiary existential continuum(s). This is why the Buddhists say that nirvana (the "extinct") and samsara (the "world of forms") are identical. There are even a few contemporary physicists who explain emptiness as a perfect balance of virtual particles of matter and anti-matter continually canceling out each other's existence, though that's not to say that any of these physicists would recognize the 0=2 equation as meaningful evidence for their theories.
   In addition to chasing his mathematical and scientific chimeras Crowley also hunted a few historical ones. Foremost among them, at least in its latter-day currency, is his concept of the progression of "aeons", those grand epochs in human history during which one divine energy or another holds sway over our collective and individual destinies. That Crowley meant the "aeon" to be understood as an actual period of historical time can hardly be doubted; throughout his writings he uses definite phrases to indicate this view (e.g., "during the whole period of the Aeon --- approximately 2000 years", from Magick Without Tears, Chapter XLVIII). He considered this Aeon of Horus as having a definite historical beginning point, the spring equinox of 1904 c.e., and he foresees, though less precisely, an end to this age with the occurrence of the "Equinox of Maat . . . [which] may be a hundred or ten thousand years from now" (from The Law is for All, Part Three: 34). [...] Let us suppose that the extinction which is accomplished by the union of opposites (0=2) is characteristic of Horus' psychological mode of action (this connection being exemplified by the message of the Book of the Law). Then let us proceed to some "spiritual mathematics"; by adding 1 to each side of the equation we enter the Osirian mode, 1=3, where the One Godhead is represented by a Trinity. Further addition takes us to the realm of Isis, 2=4, the dualistic natural world of the Four Elements. If we move in the other direction, subtracting 1 from each side of the 0=2 equation, we arrive in the universe of Maat, -1=1, the opposites are seen as identical, and perfect Balance is achieved.billheidrick.com
