Charles Stansfeld-Jones
By Frater Aleisterion

C.S. Jones, or Frater Achad (Hebrew for Unity), was one of the giants, not at all the failure that he is painted as in certain quarters these days. Achads Thelemic career began promisingly enough. After a few years working in the exterior sanctuary of Aleister Crowleys mystico-magical Order, he experienced a profound epiphany that originated with the Supernal Union of Beast and Babalon via their terrestrial avatars of the time namely Crowley and Jeanne Robert Foster, aka Soror Hilarion, the third woman to hold the Holy Office of Scarlet Woman. This epiphany led him to the discovery of Aleph-Lamed as the Key of the Law of Thelema vide Liber 31, in which he expounds on this and more. His presentation of his case in Liber 31 compelled Crowley to accept Achads epiphany as genuine, and to admit him to the Grade of Magister Templi an unthinkable accomplishment for a mere Neophyte. Later, of course, Crowley and Jones separated. The source of the problem originated with a misplaced suspicion on Crowleys part. He mistakenly accused Jones of stealing a storage of books that did finally turn up many years later; Jones was innocent. But Crowley also disapproved of Achads reformation of the Qabalistic Tree of Life, and was highly critical of the works he came to write. Yet such disapproval is as unwarranted as his suspicion was, as any meticulous initiated analysis of Jones Qabalistic revision should make clear. We can only conclude that the Prophet was personally biased in his rash dismissal of Achads inversion of the paths of the Qabalistic Tree. One of the differences between Thelemic religion and archaic religions is that it doesnt deem its prophets to be infallible. Crowley was only human, and the only logical thing is to accept that, and not take his pronouncements as absolute Truth, but rather as a generally reliable yet flawed guide particularly in light of Liber Legis, ch.1 v.56 (addressing the Prophet): thou hast all in the clear light, and some, though not all, in the dark.

Following his break with Crowley, Jones rebelled against his former teacher and denounced Aiwass. He is mocked in some circles for having gone on to proclaim a new Age of Maat years later; but in a letter dated 1948 E.V., he wrote: I may well have been over optimistic in thinking that the Aeon of Truth and Justice is very near at hand. Those who discredit him on the assumption that he was out of his right mind simply fail to grasp the whole picture. What may be even more interesting is a quote of his from the very same letter: The Scientific Illuminism of the A:.A:. must continue. The System of Initiation came to an end with the Aeon of Horus, but must be revised and continue according to New Aeon lines. This is exactly the kind of observation that Leah Hirsig made in her 1924 diaries (see A Tribute to Leah Hirsig, in the Library section of the sidebar of this blog). Such a reformation of the Hierophantic system streamlining the mystico-magical system propounded by Crowley in The Equinox and Book 4 is now being worked out by the Ministers of the Holy Thelemic Church.
