IE I think it's saying that Crowley is transcendent over life and death. And since right before that it states how it's like there are countless clones of him everywhere.....I think he's actually omnipresent somehow..

More of Blavatsky's rather dubious interpretation of Eastern religion and her own occult research...

So far in the novel, Aiwass is Aleister's Secret Chief, and Aleister is his "window".
Anna Sprengel is considered to attain the same state, as a "window" of the Secret Chief. By becoming a "window" of superior beings, they now exercise powers beyond human. This is also how he can be omni-present. Their existence aren't as defined as a "window", in other words, their existence is also more free. It is like saying he might be here but might not be here too. (but do not confuse it with Schrodinger's Cat, where things is undefined due to a lack of observation.) |

What's a 'Secret Chief'? And I assume by 'window' you mean Aleister is like an 'Avatar' or 'representive' of Aiwass?
btw, quick wiki check says that 'Anna Sprengel' existence was never proven?

After reading through Vol22 Epilogue again, Aleister also mentions Anna Sprengel as the founder of the of Magic Cabal 'Golden' (Chinese just says 'Gold', 黄金), and now he's on the same level of existence as her.
Thanks Cosmic Eagle and everyone, that was a name I couldn't quite translate into English ^.^; |

Secret Chiefs are higher spiritual beings that oversees the magical operation of the world or even cosmic order.
In real life, Anna Sprengel and Aleister were said to attain the state of a Secret Chief. Though, the existence of Anna Sprengel was never proven. As for Crowley, he said he had attained the state of 8=3, the stage that is corresponding to the Secret Chief and the circle of Binah of the Sephiroth. Aiwass is on a higher state of 10=1 and performs his will through Crowley. Quoting Crolwey himself from Equinox: "I now incline to believe that Aiwass is not only the God or Demon or Devil once held holy in Sumer, and mine own Guardian Angel, but also a man as I am, insofar as He uses a human body to make His magical link with Mankind, whom He loves, and that He is thus an Ipsissimus, the Head of the A.'.A.'." In the novel, Anna and Crowley were describe as Secret Chief's "window", the reason why their existence is uncertain and couldn't be proven. |

Doesn't Kamachi have some sort of helpers to help him look this stuff up? That's certainly be much more believable...
Then again, there are those people who have a good memory and can read stuff once and remember most of it, with only a few details different here and there. |
