LIBER ALEPH VEL CXI
32
A#
De Legibus contra Motum
(Of Laws against Motion)
AY not, in thine Haste, that such Stagnations are
Unity even as the last Victory of thy Will is Unity.
For thy Will moveth through free Function, accord-
ing to its particular Nature, to that End of Dissolution of all
Complexities, and the Ideals and Standards are Attempts to
halt thee on that Way. Although for thee some certain Ideal
be upon thy Path; yet for thy Neighbour it may not be so.
Set all Men a-horseback: thou speedest the Foot-soldier on
his Way, indeed: but what hast thou done to the Bird-Man?
Thou must have simple Laws and Customs to express the
general Will, and so prevent the Tyranny of Violence of a
few; but multiply them not!
Now then herewith I will
declare unto thee the Limits of the Civil Law upon the rock
of the Law of Thelema.
