The more perceptive members of the present generation exhibit a higher degree of freedom from the sense of shame and guilt that taints the sexual experience, particularly in old aeon mentalities. Original thinking and a spirit of genuine scientific enquiry is beginning to emerge, viz. the experimental use of drugs, and other modes of self-analysis and consciousness-enhancement hitherto regarded with abhorrence. The individual is beginning to chafe even against the restrictions which individuality itself imposes upon him! He wants to realize Universal Awareness, to sense all experience, cosmically, spaciously, dynamically, breaking down all that limits him from total union and identity with the Infinite Unity which he knows to be more vital than bourgeois morality and the death-in-life isolation of insignificant personal awareness.--Kenneth Grant, Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God p. 194
