It is a generalisation of St. Augustine's 'Love, and do what thou wilt.' But in The Book of the Law, lest the hearer should be deluded into a spasm of antinomianism, there is a further explanation: 'Love is the law, love under will.' 8. However, the point is that it is no use discussing the results of Yoga, whether that Yoga be the type recommended by Lao-Tze, or Patanjali, or St…

226 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS best, can only keep you from extravagant blunders; it will never get you anywhere. The Book of the Law constantly implies a very different policy: listen to its climax-exhortation: "But exceed! exceed!" (AL, II: 71) Remember that which is written: "Moderate strength rings the bell: great strength returns the penny." It is always the little bit extra that brings home the bacon. It is the last attack that breaks through the enemy position. Water will never boil, however long you keep it at 99 0 C. You may find that a Pran…

Cara Soror, 51 How to Recognize Masters, Angels, and How They Work Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I have been thinking over what I wrote in my last letter with regard to the verification of appearances in the Astral Plane. I did not mention a parallel question of even greater immediate practical importance: that of one's relations with Astral or discarnate intelligences or with Those whom we call "The Masters" or "The Gods": the messages or gestures which reach us through the normal physical channels.

…by that of Frater Progradior for whose benefit I set it forth in writing. More important still, I applied the formula of The Book of the Law to the solution of the classical antinomies of philosophy. I resolved such triads as being, not-being and becoming into a unity. I identified free will with destiny. I proved that action was impotent and non-action omnipotent. As I went on, new problems constantly presented themselves, and each one in its turn yielded to the Law of Thelema. I wrote all these theorems in my Magical Record. I was greatly ass…

FROM THE BOOK OF THE LAW Every man and woman is a star. Every number is infinite : there is no difference. This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all. Obey my prophet ! follow out the ordeals of my knowledge ! seek me only ! Then the joys of my love will redeem ye from all pain. This is so : I swear by the vault of my body : by my sacred tongue and heart ; by all I can give, by all I desire of ye all. The word of the Law is Thelema. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he l…
