LIBER CCC KHABS AM PEKHT [The quotations in this Epistle are from Liber Legis —The Book of the Law.—Ep.] Son, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Firstly, let thine attention be directed to this planet, how the Zon of Horus is made manifest by the Universal War. This is the first great and direct result of the Equinox of the Gods, and is the preparation of the hearts of men for the reception of the Law. Let Us remind you that this is a magical formula of cos- mic scope, and that it is given in exact detail in the legend of the Gold…
…fears, all qualms, all hesitancies! Lift yourselves up! Come forth, free and joyous, by night and day, to do your will; for “There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.” Lift yourselves up! Walk forth with us in Light and Life and Love and Liberty, taking our pleasure as Kings and Queens in Heaven and on Earth. The sun is arisen; the spectre of the ages has been put to flight. “The word of Sin is Restriction,” or as it has been otherwise said on this text: That is Sin, to hold thine holy spirit in! Go on, go on in thy might; and let no man make t…
56 Marriage-Property-War Politics Cara Soror , Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Directly or indirectly, you have already all you need about marriage in its relation to Magical Training. The Hindu proverb sums it all up: "There are seven kinds of wife-like a mother, a sister, a daughter, a mistress, a friend, an enemy and a slave; of these the only good one is the last." But from your questions I gather that what you want is advice on how to advise, how marriage as an institution is regarded by The Book of the Law. Very good. It …
…n the past. I t shows that the joy of existence is not in a goal, for that indeed is clearly unattainable, but in the going itself. This law is called the Law of Thelema. It is summarised in the four words, Do what thou wilt. I t should not be necessary to explain that a full appreciation of this message is not to be obtained by a hasty examination. It is essential to study it from every point of view, to analyse it with the keenest philosophical acumen, and finally to apply it as a key for every problem, internal and external, that exists. Thi…

DE LEGE LIBELLVM shivers: the wise man, brave and free, drinks, and gives glory to the Most High God. This then is the Law of Liberty: you possess all Liberty in your own right, but you must buttress Right with Might: you must win Freedom for yourself in many a war. Woe unto the children who sleep in the Freedom that their fore- fathers won for them! “There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt:” but it is only the greatest of the race who have the strength and courage to obey it. O man! behold thyself! With what pains wast thou fash- ioned! What …
STEPPING OUT OF THE OLD AON INTO THE NEW Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. As all of you should know, we have entered a New Zon. A Higher Truth has been given to the World. This truth is waiting in readiness for all those who will consciously accept it, but it has to be realised before it is understood, and day by day those who have accepted this Law, and are trying to live it, realize more and more of its Beauty and Perfection. The new teaching appears strange at first; and the mind is unable to grasp more than a fragment of wha…
PREFACE XVll The reader should notice that every letter begins and ends with a formula-two quotations from The Book of the Law. Crowley felt compelled to open every letter and indeed every meeting with any individual with these quotations . Bidding adieu was also marked by the same type of gesture. Some people have felt that he made a laughingstock of himself by so doing, but for this kind of reproach he cared nothing. So long as he felt commanded by that book to behave in such a manner he proceeded to do so, come what may. The verses used are …
THE EQUINOX The A..A.., or Great White Brotherhood, through Whom this Law was obtained, is a Body of the highest Initiates, pledged to aid mankind. It offers instruction in the Way of Spiritual Progress and Illumination to individual seekers. The work of the A..A.. is called Scientific Iluminism. This may be briefly expressed by quoting Its motto: “The method of Science; the aim of Religion.” Every seeker is taught how to realise Truth for himself, by means accurate and well-tested. The O.T.O. is the first of the great religious Societies to ac…
…se you must know if he is "one of the believing J inn." Briefly, is he a friend or an enemy? You accordingly say to him "The word of the Law is Thelema." It turns out that he doesn't understand Greek at all, so you were certainly right in choosing Hebrew. You put it to him, "What is the word of the Law?" and he replies darkly: "The word of the Law is Thora." That means nothing to you; any one might know as much as that , Thora being the ordinary word for the Sacred Law of Israel, and you accordingly ask him to spell it to make sure you have hea…
were enunciated in respect of planetary evolution by Herbert Spencer and now generalised to cover all modes of being by the Law of Thelema. But now let me begin to unleash my indignation. My jobthe establishment of the Law of Thelemais a most discouraging job. It is the rarest thing to find anyone who has any ideas at all on the subject of liberty. Because the Law of Thelema is the law of liberty, everybody's particular hair stands on end like the quills of the fretful porpentine; they scream like an uprooted mandrake, and flee in terror from…
238 THE CLAIM OF THE BOOK OF THE LAW TO OPEN UP COMMUNICATIONS WITH DISCARNATE INTELLIGENCE. In the above section I have shown that the failure of previous religions is due, not so much to hostile criticism, but to their positive defect. They have not made good their claim. It has been shown above that The Book of the Law does demonstrate the prime position of religion in the only possible way. The only possible argument, on the other side, is that the communication cannot have been made by a discarnate intelligence, because there are none such…

…at an Infinite intelligence must have been at work on this cosmos. I reply No! ‘There is no intelligence at work worthy of the name. The Laws of Nature may be generalized in one—the Law of Inertia. Everything moves in the direction determined by the path of least resistance; species arise, develop, and die as their collective inertia determines; to this Law there is no exception but the doubtful one of Freewill; the Law of Destiny itself is formally and really identical with it. ‘As to an infinite intelligence, any standing are agreed that all-…
ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS OF THE DUTIES OF THE BRETHREN FIRST HOUSE 1. There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt. Yet it is well for Brethren to study daily in the Volume of the Sacred Law, Liber Legis, for therein is much counsel concerning this, how best they may carry out this will. SECOND HOUSE 2. The private purse of every Brother should always be at the disposal of any Brother who may be in need. But in such a case it is a great mischief if the one ask, and the other consent; for if the former be really in need, his pride is wounded by his aski…
