I propose that this page be removed from the Thelema umbrella section. At no time did Crowley use the term Eroto comatose lucidity. If he did where is the reference to say that he did? The Kraig refernce is false. Kraig hasnt shown that Crowley used that specific term. So why was it included? Unless there is a solid citation from a work written by Crowley , then this assertion should be removed.--Redblossom (talk) 12:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for finally confirming that you know nothing about either Crowley or Thelema. The title of Liber 451, both footnoted in the article and linked from the external links section, is Of Eroto-comatose Lucidity. Surely you knew that? If not, then perhaps you could stop criticizing articles on topics with which you are unfamiliar? Will in China (talk) 20:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It says that "[the concept] may have an antecedent in Jim Morrison's etc" - I would think that this needs rephrasing, as Jim Morrison was significantly later than the theorists mentioned in the article (such as Crowley). Would do it myself, but don't want to botch an article on a subject upon which I'm not very educated. Miscellanium (talk) 21:31, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All due respect to whoever added it, Michael Ford's opinion about this is out of place on this page. He is not widely read in the occult community and is often actively avoided as a charlatan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.39.69.53 (talk) 06:16, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Helena Blavatsky is indirectly quoted on this matter even though her works are widely available. I have failed to find any reference in Blavatsky's writings that imply she understood "the sleep of Siloam" to be a sex technique. If there is such a reference, please cite it directly.
