in the book it is defined, and accept Their Will1 as concentrating 
the Will of our Whole Order. They must accept the Crowned 
and Conquering Child as the Lord of the Aeon, and exert them- 
selves to establish His reign upon Earth. They must acknowledge 
that “The Word of the Law is 0EAHMA and that “Love is the 
Law, love under Will.” 
Each member must make it his main work to discover for himself 
his own true will, and to do it, and do nothing else. 2 
He must accept those orders in the Book of the Law that apply 
to himself as being necessarily in accordance with his own true 
will, and execute the same to the letter with ail the energy, courage, 
and ability that he can command. This applies especially to the 
work of extending the Law in the world, wherein his proof is his 
own success, the witness of his Life to the Law that hath given 
him light in his ways, and liberty to pursue them. Thus doing, he 
payeth his debt to the Law that hath freed him by working its will 
to free ail men; and he proveth himself a true man in our Order 
by willing to bring his fellows into freedom. 
By thus ordering his disposition, he will fit himself in the best 
possible manner for the task of understanding and mastering the 
divers technical methods prescribed by the A A for Mystical 
and M agi cal attainment. 
He will thus préparé himself properly for the crisis of his career 
in the Order, the attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation 
of his Holy Guardian Angel. 
His Angel shall lead him anon to the summit of the Order of 
the R. C. and make him ready to face the unspeakable terror of 
the Abyss which lies between Manhood and Godhead; teach him 
to Know that agony, to Dare that destiny, to Will that catastrophe, 
1. “Their Will” — not, of course, their wishes as individual human 
beings, but their will as ofhcers of the New Aeon. 
2. It is not considered “essential to right conduct” to be an active 
propagandist of the Law, and so on; it may, or may not, be the True Will 
of any particular person to do so. But since the fundamental 
purpose of the Order is to further the Attainment of humanity, membership 
implies, by définition, the Will to help mankind by the means best adapted 
thereto.
