Excerpt from "Chapter 33: Kenneth Grant and the Typhonian Tradition" by Henrik Bogdan, found in _The Occult World_, edited by Christopher Partridge --- "The Mauve Zone, a key-concept in Grant's system...is related to a practical formula of dream control evolved by Grant during the years 1955-62.... In his writings, Grant repeatedly stresses the importance of establishing contact with higher beings for the spiritual evolution of the practitioner, but also for the future of mankind." [Grant draws on traditional esoteric concepts, UFO-related materials, and the Old Ones of Lovecraftian lore to help explain what these entities are.] "Whereas [Aleister] Crowley adopted an agnostic approach to the nature of the entities...Grant argues theat they are actual entities existing outside of man's consciousness although they are to be accssed through a mental state which Grant calls the Mauve Zone." [Note: the image above is of Grant's own writings about the Mauve Zone, not _The Occult World_, quoted above. Plus, Crowley adjusted his own beliefs later in his life to accept the ‘realness’ of these entities. *Thanks to Marco Visconti for clarifying that last point!*]
