… Norm, and thus by clear Knowledge bought of Experiment and of Experience, move with Eyes well open upon our true Path. So therefore Our Law of Thelema is justified also of Biology and of Social Science. It is the true Way of Nature, the right Strategy in the way of man with his Environment, and the Life of his Soul. t
…e beauty of the place, hope laughs and says me nay ; In nature’s bosom, in God’s face, I read Decay, Decay. Here in the splendour of the Law that built the eternal sphere, Beauty and majesty and awe, I fail of any cheer. Here, in caprice, in will divine, I see no perfect peace ; Here,in the Law’s impassive shrine, no hope is of release. All things escape me, all repine, all alter, ruin, cease. I], But thou, O Lord, O Apollo, Must thou utterly change and pass? Thy light be lost in the hollow? Thy face as a maid’s in a glass Go out and be lost an…
…e into the desert. Each of them, perfectly silent up to the time of the dis- appearance, came back and immediately began to preach a new law. This is so curious that it leaves us to inquire whether the histories of other great teachers contradict or confirm. Moses led a quiet lifeuntil his slaying of the Egyptian. He then
… The complicated situation in which we find ourselves is composed of éléments \ and no element of it came out of nothing. Newton’s First Law applies to every plane of thought. The theory of évolution is omniform. There is a reason for one’s prédisposition to goût, or the shape of one’s ear, in the past. The symbolism may change ; the facts do not. In one form or another, everything that exists is derived from some previous manifestation. Hâve it, if you will, fhat the memories of other incarnations are dreamsj but dreams are determined by reali…

80 Life A Gamble Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. In one or two-no, I think more like three or four-letters of yours to hand in the last couple of months , you have put forward various excuses for slackness, the necessities of your economic situation . You say you must have "regular work," and a "steady income ," and all that sort of thing. My innocent child, that species of Magick is quite simple. Take the horns of a hare ... That's enough for the present: I'll tell you what to do with them when you've got them. In …
…rows, learns Repression of himself and his true Will. It is a lie, this folly against self: these Words are written in The Book of the Law. So therefore these Passions in ourselves which we understand to be Hindrances are not part of our True Will, but diseased Appetites, manifest in us through false early Training. Thus the Tabus of savage Tribes in such matter as Love constrain that True Love which is born in us; and by this Constraint come ills of Body and Mind. Either the Force of Repression carries it, and creates Neuroses and Insanities…
…iginal Nature in every Point, before thou wast forced to bow before the Gods of Wood and Stone that Men have made, not comprehending the Law of Change, and of Evolution Through Variation, and the independent Value of every living Soul. Learn this also, that even the Will to the Great Work may be misunderstood of Men; for this Work must proceed naturally and without Overstress, as all true Works. Right also is that Word that the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth Violence, and the violent take it by Force. But except thou be violent by Virtue of thy tr…
… Way of its Will, is song. Nor is there any Form of utterance that is not, as song is, the Music proper to that Motion, according to the Law. Thus, as thy Cousin Arthur Machen hath rejoiced to make plain unto Men in his Book called Hieroglyphics, the first Quality of Art is its Ekstacy. So, night to all Men at one Time or other, cometh Joy of Creation, with the Belief that their Utterance is holy and beautiful, glorious with Banners. This would indeed be the Case, an we could discern their Thought from their Words; but because they have no te…

…fringe upon another, to quell the Virtue thereof. Gold is pure, but to drink molten Gold were Impurity to thy Body, and its Destruction. Law is a Code of the Customs of a People; if it intrude thereon to alter them, it is an Impurity of Oppression. So also Diet is to be in Accord with Digestion; Ethics were an Impurity therein. Love is an Expression of the Will of the Body, yea, and more also, of That which created he Body; and its Operation is commonly between One and One, so that the Interference of a Third Person is Impurity, and not to be e…

It is a bail- iff, who comes to torture me in the Name of the Law, an infamous harlot who comes crying pity, and to ass the frivolities of her life to the sorrows of mine, or the guttersnipe errand-boy of an editor who wants the continuation of my manuscript. The heavenly room, the Idol, the Queen of Dreams, the Slyphide, as the great René calls her, all this magic has disappeared at the spec- tres brutal knock. Horror! I remember, I remember!

40 Coincidence Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. When I was writing that letter about prophecy, I was hot and bothered all the time by my faithful sentinel, the well-greaved Hoplite that stands at the postern of my consciousness, ready to challenge every thought-and woe to the intruder who cannot give the countersign! This time the dear old ruffian thought the matter serious enough to report Higher Up. "It is put plainly enough, emphatically enough, incontrovertibly enough" was the gist of his communication "that the …
He, my prophet, hath chosen, knowing the law of the fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God. All these old letters of my Book are aright ; but ï is not the Star. This also is secret; my prophet shall reveal it to the wise. 58. I give unimaginable joys on earth: cer- tainty, not faith, While in life, upon death; peace unalterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in sacrifice. 59. My incense is of resinous woods and gums; and there is no blood therein: because of my hair the trees of Eternity. 60. My number is II, as all their num…
