… Woman direct the Chess-Play of Life, but the Man alter the Rules, if he so will. Lo! in ill Play is Mischief and Disorder, but in a New Law is Earthquake, and Destruction of the Root of Things. Therefore is Fear of any Man that is in Commerce with his Genius, for none knoweth if his Law shall amend the Game or do it Hurt; and of this the Proof is in Experience, won after the Victory of his Will, when there is no Way of Return; as saith the Poet, Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum. Nor do thou fear to create: for, even as I have written in The Book of Li…

…far from manifesting that attainment by non-action, he created a revolution in India by attacking the Caste system, and by preaching his law created a Karma so violent that even to-day its primary force is still active. The present ‘Buddha,’ the Master Therion, is doing a similar, but even greater work, by His proclamation: Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. 32. Sow kindly acts and thou shalt reap their fruition. In- action in a deed of mercy becomes an action in a deadly sin. Thus saith the Sage. This continues the diatribe again…

However, he only stayed a short time in Sydney and went on to San Francisco, where, free from all guidance or control, he broke out into a series of spasms of which I do not know the details, and which are of little interest as being merely casual symptoms of a state of mind which I had already studied sufficiently.

12 MAGICK WITHOUT .TEARS Letter E August 18, 1943 Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Much thought has gone into the construction of your Motto. "I will become" can be turned neatly enough as "Let there be" ; by avoiding the First Pronoun one gets the idea of "the absorption of the Self in the Beloved," which is exactly what you want. "The creative Force of the Universe" is quite ready-made. Pyramis,' a pyramid , is that force in its geometrical form ; in its biological form it is Phallus ,' the Yang or Lingam. Both wor…

Yet it is written in The Book of the Law that the Law is for all, so that thou shalt in no wise err if thou establish it as the formula of the Æon, universal among Men. Also, even for them that are fitted to advance in our Light, there is Order and Diversity in Function, as regardeth their Work in our Sublime Brotherhood, Thus, it might well be that, in a Profess-House of the Temple, or College of the Holy Ghost, each Knight or Brother might seve…

…fiends, the sense of guilt, of shame-in a word, the 'inferiority complex' or something very like it." The whole tenor of The Book of the Law is to this effect. The very test of worth is that one should be aware of it and not afraid to sock the next man on the jaw if he disputes it! Love is the law, love under will. Fraternally, 666 P.S.
