Chapter III & Verses 58-60
185
I have myself practiced constantly to prove the Law by many
and divers modes in many and divers spheres of thought, until it
has become absolutely fixed in me, so much so that it appears an
“identical equation,” axiomatic indeed, and yet not a platitude,
but a very sword of Truth to sunder every knot at a touch.
As the practical ethics of the Law, I have formulated in words
of one syllable my declaration of the
RIGHTS OF MAN
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
There is no god but Man.
Man has the right to live by his own law.
Man has the right to live in the way that he wills to do.
Man has the right to dress as he wills to do.
Man has the right to dwell where he wills to dwell.
Man has the right to move as he will on the face of the Earth.
Man has the right to eat what he will.
Man has the right to drink what he will.
Man has the right to think as he will.
Man has the right to speak as he will
Man has the right to write as he will.
Man has the right to mould as he will.
Man has the right to paint as he will.
Man has the right to carve as he will.
Man has the right to work as he will.
Man has the right to rest as he will.
Man has the right to love as he will, when, where and whom
he will.
Man has the right to die when and how he will.
Man has the right to kill those who would thwart these
rights.1

This statement must not be regarded as individualism run
wild. Its harmony with statecraft is demonstrated in the Chapters
of Liber Aleph already quoted—see comment on Chapter II,
verse 72.1 2
