sentence of this paragraph is in a sense the sum of this whole book; for it is the threefold book of law. it is therefore the message of the beast, his word as a magus that he must utter. it will be well therefore to reprint the substance of the message which he first promulgated on his formal initiation into that grade. liber ii. the message of the master therion "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law "there is no law beyond do what thou wilt" thelema- thelema- means will. the key to this message is this word- will. the first obvious meaning of this law is confirmed by antithesis "the word of sin is restriction" again. thou hast no right but to do thy will. do that, and no other shall say nay. for pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way

"ethics and evolution" pointed out the antithesis between these two ideas; and concluded that evolution was bound to beat ethics in the long run. he was apparently unable to see, or unwilling to admit, that his argument proved ethics (as understood by victorians) to be false. the ethics of liber legis are those of evolution itself. we are only fools if we interfere. do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law, biologically as well as in every other way. let us take an example. i am an antivaccinationist in a sense which every other antivaccinationist would repudiate. i admit that vaccination protects from small-pox. but i should like everybody to have small-pox. the weak would die; the strong might have pitted faces; but the race would become immune to the disease in a few generations

e the beast is this; not only art thou woman, sworn to a purpose not thine own; thou art thyself a star, and in thyself a purpose to thyself. not only mother of men art thou, or whore to men; serf to their need of life and love, not sharing in their light and liberty; nay, thou art mother and whore for thine own pleasure; the word i say to man i say to thee no less: do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law! ay, priest, ay, lawyer, ay, censor! will ye not gather in secret once again, if in your hoard of juggler's tricks there be not one untried, or in your cunning and counsel one device new-false to save your pirate ship from sinking? it has always been so easy up to now! what is the blasting magick in that word, first thesis of the book of the law, that "every woman is a star" alas!

of which we find hints in the legend of cain and abel, esau and jacob, set and osiris, et cetera. the "elder brother" within us, the silent self, must slay the younger brother, the conscious self, and he must be raised again incorruptible. al iii,60 "there is no law beyond do what thou wilt" the new comment there are of course lesser laws than this, details, particular cases, of the law. but the whole of the law is do what thou wilt, and there is no law beyond it. this subject is treated fully in liber cxi aleph, and the student should refer thereto. far better, let him assume this law to be the universal key to every problem of life, and then apply it to one particular case after another. as he comes by degrees to understand it, he will be astounded at the simplification of the most obsc

crowley decided to exit the ogd and was seeking another avenue of expression. visiting in cairo, egypt, in april 1904, he reportedly received a communication lasting several days from a spirit entity named aiwass. the result was the book of the law, an outline of his egyptian brand of magic, which he called thelema, from the greek word for will. crowley taught that do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law, which is to say that training the will to achieve the fulfillment of one s destiny is crucial for magical activity. in 1907 he founded his own order, argenteum astrum (silver star, and two years later began the semiannual periodical, equinox, the collected issues of which later became an important source of magical material. also in 1909 he obtained a divorce. in 1912 he met theo
