…at one may explore the essential nature of existence, and by this a pawnbroker’s profits. This then is the true aim of the Adept in this whole operation, to assimilate himself to his Angel by continuai conscious com¬ munion. For his Angel is an intelligible image of his own true Will, to do which is the whole of the law of his Being. Also the Angel appeareth in Tiphereth, which is the heart of the Ruach, and thus the Centre of Gravity of the Mind. It is also directly inspired from Kether, the ultimate Self, through the Path of the High Priestes…

…privileges of members of the O.T.O. are very numerous. These are the principal: 1° They have not only access to, but instruction in, the whole body of hidden knowledge preserved in the Sanctuary from the beginning of its manifestation. In the lower grades the final secrets are hinted, and conveyed in symbol, beneath veil, and through sacrament. In this way the intelligence of the initiate is called into play, so that he who well uses the knowledge of the lower grades may be selected for invitation to the higher, where all things are declared op…

42 This "Self" Introversion Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. "It is a lie, this folly against self." (AL, II: 22) The English is very un-English, and the context hardly helpful. But the meaning is clear enough ; the idea is to dismiss, curtly and rudely, the entire body of doctrine which insists on altruism as a of spiritual progress. Why do I jump in with this text without warning? Because at the end of my letter on Sammasati the Dweller of the Threshold popped up, and that brings us to the Black Brothers , and the …

… in Hebrew (FTP). See Crowley, Book 4, Parts I-IV, rev. ed., passim.] One of the first and most important points to be noted is that the whole Book of the Law rests upon a mathematical basis. It makes no partial appeal; it does not depend upon religious theory or racial tradition. One who knows far more than I do both of mathematics and of mysticism has thrown a clearer light than I could upon the evidence of the preternatural character of this Book. He writes: The Qabalists conceal the value of it in the name of alhim, which is God considered …

…Malkuth, the First and the Last, the One and the Many, since in this Oil they are One. These oils taken together represent therefore the whole Tree of Life. The ten Sephiroth are blended into the perfect gold. This Oil cannot be prepared from crude myrrh, cinnamon, and galangal. The attempt to do so only gives a brown mud with which the oil will not mix. These substances must be themselves refined into pure oils before the final combination. This perfect Oil is most penetrating and subtle. Gradually it will spread itself, a glistening film, ove…

Li, the Tiger: and the Duke of Chau comments on the last line as follows: "The sixth line, undivided, tells us to look at the whole course that is trodden, and examine the presage which that gives.

The negotiations went wrong; and the property was stolen from under his nose by one of the big alkali firms. However, it was a good mark for Geomancy. I am afraid that all this is a digression. As I indicated above, what you want to know is to be found in the official instruction on the subject in The Equinox . Now far be it from me to cast any doubt on an…

… would be a God L. It was said by the Sorcerer of the Jura that in order to invoke the Devil it is only necessary to caîl him with y our whole will. This is an universal magical truth, and applies to every other being as much as to the Devil. For the whole will of every man is in reality the whole will of the Uni verse. It is, however, always easy to call up the démons, for they are always calling you; and you hâve only to step down to their level i. “The Devil” is, historically, the God of any people that one personally dislikes. This has led …

(Those of the PEOPLE who intend to communicate, and none other should be present, having signified their intention, a whole Cake of Light, and a whole goblet of wine, have been prepared for each one. The Deacon marshals them; they advance one by one to the altar. The children take the Elements and offer them. The PEOPLE communicate as did the PRIEST, uttering the same words in an atti- tude of Resurrection: There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.

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 …

83 Epistola Ultima Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The suggestion in your last letter to me is a very sensible one. I do think that people in general would like to get some idea of my system of training as a whole, in a comprehensive form. In the past there has been far too much of referring them to one quite unprocurable document and then to another which probably has not even been written. No wonder that they go away sorrowful. So I am going to put in as the last of this series of Letters an account, as clear and …

78 Sore Spots Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. A "sore spot" is one which reacts abnormally and violently, however gently you touch it; more, all the other bits of you give a painful jerk, however disconnected they may seem. Still more, the entire system undergoes a spasm of apprehension; and the total result is that the mental as well as the physical system is quite unable to grasp the situation with any accuracy , and the whole man is temporarily engulphed in what is naturally not far from a condition of insanity. …
