exalted;

can
Their
force,
the
force
of Their
great
oaths,
avail
against the weakest oath of the most trivial of beginners.
The
attempt
to interfere
with
the Magical Will
of another
person
would
be wicked, if it were not absurd.
One may attempt
to build up a Will when before
nothing existed but
a chaos of whims;
but
once
organization
has
taken
place
it is sacred.
As Blake says:
"Everything
that lives
is holy";
and hence the creation
of life is the most sacred of tasks.
It does
not
matter very much
to the
creator what it is that he creates;
there is room
in the universe
for both
the spider
and the fly.
It
is
from
the
rubbish-heap
of
Choronzon
that
one
selects
the
material
for a god !
This
is the ultimate
analysis
of the Mystery of Redemption,
and
is
possibly
the real reason of the existence
(if
existence
it
can be called) of
form,
or,
if
you like, of the Ego.
It
is
astonishing
that this
typical
cry— "
I
am
I
''—
is
the cry of that
which
above all
is
not
I.
It
was that
Master
whose Will was
so powerful
that
at its
lightest
expression
the
deaf
heard, and
the dumb
spake, lepers
were cleansed
and
the
dead
arose
to
life,
that
Master
and
no
other
who
at
the
supreme
moment
of his agony could
cry, " Not my Will,
but Thine, be
done."
