I'm sure there is. Afterall Aleister said the horus started with the Book of Law and at that time he was a magician when he summoned Aiwass, it was after his defeat/illusion break that he switched from magic to science.

What that could mean? A defeat of course, one that¡s soooooo big that Aleister rage quit from magic.

Aleister based his reserach on the Thelema so those layer shouldn't be a problem even more after reaching Horus, what he said about Fiamma's format being wrong not the magic being wrong that's why Aleister didn't say "Hey Fiamma, you're using magic so you fail" but "The method was right but your Osiris was outdated.

No, the pure world is Aleisters vision of a world of science only, there can be also its opposite that would be a pure world of magic.

Actually I think Aleister just was a whiner who gave up after a defeat thus Aiwass trolls him. There was a way but Aleister gave up and chose a different path.
