Excerpt from first paragraph.
The reason for such caution is evident when it is realized how little able was an adept, of Crowley's stature even, to judge of the course of protracted initiations which involved not only himself but several other individuals. The work of Achad and of Parsons exhibited profound awareness of a cosmic unfoldment that may not always be consciously recognized even by those who are able 'unconsciously' to pick up and express aspects of the Current. How complex the pattern is may be appreciated by the fact that when Parsons received Liber 49 (The Book of Babalon), which he proclaimed to be the fourth chapter of AL, it was in magical concert with L. R. Hubbard that extra-terrestrial contact was established.
If it was
time for the machinery and complexities of the next Aeon to start its' unfoldment, then Parsons and Hubbard were prescient in trying to ride its current. I doubt they had the power necessary to usher changes in, before their time. The cycles are repeating as are the astronomy in attendance. My opinion. These are Forces and they are tethered to many complex things. Like a developing fetus, growing thru its stages, the blueprint and timing for the arrival of the final product is a done deal.
Why climb the tree? Because it's
there?

I don't think the Babalon working brought in saucers and extraterrestrials. Maybe more an attempt to access extra
dimensionals or other universe portals. Space being what it is,
or rather, ain't, there might probably exist universes which flow invisibly right thru this one....and have certain points of coincidence where 'doors' can be ajar. Egypt seems a favorite place for speculation, and our deserts, and Antarctica.
What became of the 1947 deal. We are still on the surface of this planet and in this same time stream. Montauk was a dismal failure, and dark, and it did not accelerate us into a new era of psychic advances. It only destabilized, as did the previously dismal Philadelphia experiments where people were fried for trying break the time / space agreement somehow.
Fascinating post, thank you. Like everyone else, I don't know what inter-dimensional effects may have occurred as a result of the Babalon Working.
As a trained Scientologist, I was conditioned to accept Hubbard's ideas of Invader Forces, between-lives implanters, BT swarms, etc., and to hold these ideas in my consciousness, if only to keep doing my job as an auditor. When I stopped stopped using the operating system Scientology installed in me, those ideas seemed to lose some of their emotional charge, at least enough to begin study the system critically.
I agree with Grant's reasoning for exercising caution in these matters. From his introduction to
Nightside of Eden:
THE TREE of Life is a key to occult power in both a mystical and a magical sense. Numerous books have been written about the Ten Sephiroth and the Twenty Two Paths evolved by human consciousness in its attempt to comprehend macrocosmic powers in terms of microcosmic values. Occultism in the West, however, has been dominated by interpretations that take into account only the positive aspect of this great symbol. The other side, the negative or averse side of the Tree has been kept out of sight and sedulously ignored. But there is no day without night, and Being itself cannot be without reference to Non-Being of which it is the inevitable manifestation.
Any allusions to this aspect of the Tree and its branches have been subsumed under opprobrious heads or related to the infernal realm of the Qliphoth, the world of shells or shadows that is none other than our world as we know it, without the transforming light of magical consciousness. Full magical initiation is not possible without an understanding of the so-called qliphotic paths which are, in practice, as real as the shadow of any object illumined by the sun. In other words, the well-lit highways of Horus, the paths that man has projected to connect the cosmic power-zones (Sephiroth) with his own consciousness, have their counterparts in the Tunnels of Set, a dark web or nocturnal network of paths, the very existence of which is denied or ignored by those who are unable to realize the total truth of the Tree and its validity for those who would climb even its lower branches.
[...]
I am fully aware that the averse regions of the power-zones are dangerous territory, and at the outset I would remind those who feel that such an exploration had better not be made that one cannot begin this initiation, or journey inward, as one begins one's ascent from Malkuth,[5] for only by projecting consciousness through Daäth,[6] the Gate of the Abyss, can one enter the Kingdom of infernal spaces that is under the dominion of Choronzon.[7] One has therefore to be familiar with these paths before one can enter the Deep Place where they continue, not as well-lit Ways of Horns plainly signposted in the light of day, but as the Tunnels of Set that turn and twist like a serpent, or like the entrails of that nameless God of the Gulf whose darkness makes possible, by contrast, their light counterparts. If this is borne in mind it will not be necessary to charge me with irresponsibility towards those who may be lured, even against their will, to commence a journey for which they are improperly equipped and which may therefore prove fatal.

[5] The usual mode of procedure is to ascend the Tree from Malkuth to Kether via the Middle Pillar. See diagram.
[6] The eleventh power-zone.
[7] See Glossary for a definition of this term which is here used in a sense other than that in which Aleister Crowley and others have used it.

Nibs in his Penthouse interview said:
It's like cracking open the soul, which then opens various doors to the power that exists, the satanic and demonic powers. Simply put, it's like a tunnel or an avenue or a doorway.
Nibs was undoubtedly referring to "the tunnels of Set" on the Tree of Death.
Compare with Hubbard's "tunnels" in KSW 4:

Man is caught in a huge and complex labyrinth. To get out of it requires that he follow the closely-taped path of Scientology.
Scientology will take him out of the labyrinth. But only if he follows the exact markings in the tunnels.
It has taken me a third of a century in this lifetime to tape this route out.
It has been proven that efforts by man to find different routes came to nothing.
It is also a clear fact that the route called Scientology does lead out of the labyrinth. Therefore it is a workable system, a route that can be traveled.
What would you think of a guide who, because his party said it was dark and the road rough and who said another tunnel looked better, abandoned the route he knew would lead out and led his party to a lost nowhere in the dark. You'd think he was a pretty wishy-washy guide.
What would you think of a Supervisor who let a student depart from procedure the Supervisor knew worked? You'd think he was a pretty wishy-washy Supervisor.
What would happen in a labyrinth if the guide let some girl stop in a pretty canyon and left her there forever to contemplate the rocks? You'd think he was a pretty heartless guide. You'd expect him to say at least, "Miss, those rocks may be pretty, but the road out doesn't go that way."
[...]
Scientology is a workable system. It white-tapes the road out of the labyrinth.
If there were no white tapes marking the right tunnels, man would just go on wandering around and around the way he has for eons, darting off on wrong roads, going in circles, ending up in the sticky dark, alone.
Scientology, exactly and correctly followed, takes the person up and out of the mess.
So when you see somebody having a ball getting everyone to take peyote because it restimulates prenatals, know he is pulling people off the route. Realize he is squirreling. He isn't following the route.
Scientology is a new thing-it is a road out. There has not been one. Not all the salesmanship in the world can make a bad route a proper route. And an awful lot of bad routes are being sold. Their end product is further slavery, more darkness, more misery.
Scientology is the only workable system man has. It has already taken people toward higher IQ, better lives and all that. No other system has. So realize that it has no competitor.
