Beauty and strength come from doing one’s Will; you have only to look at anyone who is doing it to recognize the glory of it. 21. We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit: let them die in their misery. For they feel not. Compassion is the vice of kings: stamp down the wretched & the weak: this is the law of the strong: this is our law and the j…

…or avoiding pride, in that it defeats its own object. 16. False learning is rejected by the Wise, and scattered to the Winds by the Good Law. Its wheel revolves for all, the humble and the proud; the “Doctrine of the Heart” for the elect. The first repeat in pride: “Behold, I know”; the last, they who in humbleness have garnered, low confess: “Thus have I heard.” Continues the subject, but adds a further Word to dis- criminate from Daath (knowledge) in favour of Binah (un- derstanding). 17. “Great Sifter’ is the name of the “Heart Doctrine,” O …

Cara Soror, 15 Sex Morality Including Artemis Iota Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Thank you! I am to cover the whole question of sex in a few well-chosen words? Am I to suppose that you want to borrow money? Such fulsome flattery suggests the indirect approach. As a matter of fact, your proposal is not so outrageous as it sounds at first; for as far as the English language goes, there is really hardly anything worth reading. 98.138 percent of it is what Frances Ridley Ravergal used to call "fiddlesticks, blah, boloney, Bull-sh…

The Book of the Law was to my hand, but the gods themselves had hardened my heart against it. I had hardened my own heart; I had tried to go round the Boyg. They answered, "Thou hast said."

…RIVILEGES OF THE BRETHREN FIRST HOUSE 44. The first and greatest of all privileges of a Brother is to be a Brother; to have accepted the Law, to have become free and independent, to have destroyed all fear, whether of custom, or of faith, or of other men, or of death itself.
