…65 brandy. It appeared that it was now eight hours forty-three minutes thirteen and three-fifth seconds past noon. I don’t know what the law is ; nobody in England knows what the law is—not even the fools that make the laws. We are not under the laws and do not enjoy the liberties which our fathers bequeathed us; we are under a complex and fantastic system of police administration nearly as pernicious as anything even in America. “Don’t apologise,” said Lamus to the waiter in a tone of icy detachment. “ This is the freedom we fought for.”’ I wa…

…gidly applicable to all sane men soever without reference to the individual qualities of any one of them. 7. The formula is given by the Law of Thelema. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. This injunction, in one sense infinitely elastic, since it does not specify any particular goal of will as desirable, is yet infinitely rigid, in that it binds every man to follow out exactly the purpose for which he is fitted by here- dity, environment, experience, and self-development. The formula is thus also biologically indefeasible, as we…

312 MAGICK WITHOUT . TEARS any shape is a breach of the Law of Thelema. It is interference with the right of another to dispose of his property as he will; and if I did so myself, no matter with what tactical justification, I could hardly ask others to respect my own similar right. (The basis of our criminal law is simple, by virtue of Thelema: to violate the right of another is to forfeit one's own claim to protection in the matter involved.) So much for my own position; but let us look at the original case with another protagonist: let us say…

These whine eternally. Smug, toothless, hairless Coote, debauch-emas- culated Buddha, come ye to me? I havea trick to make you silent, O ye foamers-at- the mouth!

WHEEL AND—WHOA! The Great Wheel of Samsara. The Wheel of the Law. (Dhamma.) The Wheel of the Taro. The Wheel of the Heavens. The Wheel of Life. All these Wheels be one; yet of all these the Wheel of the TARO alone avails thee consciously. Meditate long and broad and deep, O man, upon this Wheel, revolving it in thy mind! Be this thy task, to see how each card springs necessarily from each other card, even in due order from The Fool unto The Ten of Coins. Then, when thou know’st the Wheel of Destiny complete, may’st thou perceive THAT Will which…

124 The Law is for All bounded by death; and his spy-glass is smeared with the idea of sin. The New /Eon proclaims Man as Immortal God, eternally active to do His Will. All’s Joy, all’s Beauty; this Will we celebrate. In this verse we see how the awakening leads to ordered and purposeful action. Joy and Beauty are the evidence that our func tions are free and fit; when we take no pleasure, and find nothing to admire, in our work, we are doing it wrong. 36. There are rituals of the elements and feasts of the times. 37. A feast for the first nig…

Commentary: Here Nuit appeals, simply and directly, recog nizing the separate function of each Star of her Body. Though all is One, each part of that One has its own special work, each Star its particular Orbit. In addressing me as warrior lord of Thebes, it appears as if She perceived a certain continuity or identity of myself with Ankh-f-n- khonsu, whose Stele is the Link with Antiquity of this Revela tion.1 See Equinox 1(7), pp. 363-400,…

The same remarks apply roughly to Buddhism. “Mongol”: presumably the reference is to Confucianism, whose metaphysical and ethical flawlessness has not saved its adherents from losing those ruder virtues which are proper to a Fighting Animal, and thus yielding at last a civilization coeval with history itself to the barbarous tribes of Europe. “Din” — “severity” or “judgment”—may refer to the Jewish Law, rather than to the Faith (al-din)1 of Is…

… war" certainly would win his approval. But then he might insist on changing the word "not" and replacing it with "and." The Book of the Law serves as his authority here, governing his every attitude and moral outlook. It gives vast prominence to love-to love under will. But its third and final chapter makes no attempt to soften the hammer blows of violence. "Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance. I shall deal hardly with them." This is the message of Ra-Hoor-Khuit, the third of the divinities involved in Liber …

… my Will was. My aspiration to be the means of emancipating humanity was perfectly fulfilled. I had merely to establish in the world the Law which had been given me to proclaim: "Thou hast no right but to do thy will." Had I bent my energies from the first to proclaiming the Law of Thelema I should doubtless have found no obstacle in my path. Those which naturally arise in the course of any work soever, would have been quietly removed by the Secret Chiefs. But I had chosen to fight against myself for five years, and "If Satan shall be divided a…

10 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS Letter D June 8, 1943 Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Thanks for your letter. I couldn't find the O.T.O. typescript-and then it struck me that it would be useful to await your reactions. If I were expecting some presumably important papers by post , I should get anxious after 24 hours delay (at most) and start enquiries. Anyhow, I can't find them for the moment; but Mr. Bryant said he would lend you his Blue Equinox; pages 195-270 give what you require. But the real point of your affiliating …
