"Be that as it may, at least one such 'intelligence' was brought into physical manifestation via the Magickal Portal they created. (A portal in this context is a 'magickally' created rent in the fabric of time and space.) Crowley maintained the picture is actually a portrait and drawn from real life. This entity either called itself 'Lam,' or was named 'Lam' by Crowley. Either way, he considered it to be of inter-dimensional origin, which was the term then for extraterrestrial."
If, as I suspect, our paranormal visitors have conceived a technology of consciousness, then arguing whether manifestations such as "Lam" are due to technology or "magick" becomes meaningless. Arthur C. Clarke's maxim -- "Any sufficiently advanced technology will appear indistinguishable from magic" -- never seemed more apt.
Lam might represent the trickster archetype at work. Crowley thought he was dealing with something magickal; today's CEIII witnesses think they've seen beings from some other star system. But perhaps the phenomenon is neither (or both).
Weirdly, there's evidence the popular "Gray" alien face is hardwired into our brains for purposes not yet understood. Neurologist Michael Persinger has tested the effects of magnetic fields on the brains of volunteers, and some of them have described seeing elongated humanoid figures, accompanied by the "sense of presence" experienced by abductees. So it's possible the brain itself is responsible for some "extraterrestrial" imagery -- maybe because the stimulus is too bizarre to deal with directly. Or maybe Persinger has inadvertently triggered the same "magick" employed by Crowley using the tools of modern science.
