koʊroʊnzoʊn

"When you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you" --Friedrich Nietzsche The name of the Dweller in the Abyss is koʊroʊnzoʊn, but he is not really an individual. The Abyss is empty of being; it is filled with all possible forms, each equally inane, each therefore evil in the only true sense of the word—that is, meaningless but malignant, in so far as it craves to become real.

These forms swirl senselessly into haphazard heaps like dust devils, and each such chance aggregation asserts itself to be an individual and shrieks, "I am I!" though aware all the time that its elements have no true bond; so that the slightest disturbance dissipates the delusion just as a horseman, meeting a dust devil, brings it in showers of sand to the earth.

In the 20th century, this spiritual dark entity became an important element within the mystical system of Thelema, founded by notorious occultist Aleister Crowley, where he is the Dweller in the Abyss, believed to be the last great obstacle between the adept and enlightenment.

koʊroʊnzoʊn is described as changing shape, which is read variously as an account of an actual metamorphosis, a subjective impression of Neuburg's, or fabrication on Crowley's part.

Thelemites believe that if he is met with proper preparation, then his function is to destroy the ego, which allows the adept to move beyond the Abyss of occult cosmology.

deluded search for a false Holy Guardian Angel, or anything which the magician would mistake for his own profound genius itself.

Yet, koʊroʊnzoʊn might merely be the whisperings of obsession borne from a misguided quest for a spurious Holy Guardian Angel, or any phantom mistaken by the magician as the echoing grandeur of his own hidden genius.
