` I've cited Vere Chappell, a high-ranking OTO officer, who wrote ``One of the earliest mentions of this philosophy occurs in the classic Gargantua and Pantagruel written by Francois Rabelais in 1532.`` And I've cited Shri Gurudev Mahendranath who was a personal friend of Crowley's in the 1930s and discussed Thelema with him at length and wrote about it in The Scrolls of Mahendranath. That, in my opinion, trumps Sutin who is simply spewing his own opinion in what I consider to be a very unprofessional manner. He's supposed to be writing a biography, not his own opinions on Thelema, but rather reporting on Crowley's opinions. Yet I've left this in as long as it is qualified by calling out that despite the fact that he wrote this in a bio of Crowley, it was his own opinion. I'm not sure what else you want here? What are you complaining about? What do you want to rephrase? (without taking out cited material, of couse). -  `
