Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
Ah, how perfectly a clever a chess move it is where trying to penetrate of the often times thick skull of the student I am now going to shock the entire planet by giving you the particular, particulars that are particular for the preliminaries.
Prepare to be amazed as I unlock the doors. If I can’t convince you I am not teaching you to be an evil sorcerer or a mad scientist than now would be the time to hide under your bed, or run like hell in the opposite direction where you take no chances I might be too racy for your blood. Are you still with us, dear reader? Very well, let’s learn to call all the shots when we play pool or to learn how to master your destiny.
Of course, I am double clever for now I should not have to repeat myself as I have done so often on the subject which often takes a multitude of correspondence only to find they haven’t heard a single thing I said. After all, if I give it all at once perhaps I will have better chance of making it all clear.
Why yes, what is all the fuss about? This teacher isn’t patting me on the head and saying, there, there, little grasshopper here’s a tissue to blow your nose. If anything, I am going out of my way to avoid the deadly black brother attitude where to console is to enslave. Confer Liber AL, Chapter I, verse 38 and Liber AL, Chapter II, verse 48.
Some time ago I was reading a magical record from a student while he sat on my sofa waiting for me to discuss his progress. I was doing nothing more innocent than clicking my pen while reading. All of a sudden he looked at a sister also sitting in the library and exclaimed in horrid frustration, “Why does he clicking his pen, man?”. He jumped up as if I had been torturing him and that was the last I heard of him. We call such normal events that occur, “blind ordeals” where what he saw was a severe and horrid instructor who was tormenting him.
If you throw away my first forty letters when adjustment has finally occurred or you are embarrassed by my blares this will assist you back on track. Or if I have made you see you as you and your only imbecile retort is why is this teacher insulting me missing my motive or lesson you consider a close study of what I am about to impart. This attempt to break the mold, what told shall be told and I am properly bold where you see the gold. We’ll adjust the timeline of the date, open the gate, and conquer the fate, and end the hate, balance the debate, heighten the rate, and you’ll feel great.
I must warn you right from the start that the reading list should not be confused with actual duty of the Oath and Task of any Grade. Keep this in mind where beginning DUTY by the Master Therion you can choose the books as they fit in with the steps. The magical practices are listed by Grade.
If you do not follow out the ordeals of the knowledge you’ll make all the errors of the solitary Practitioner who rides every wave but those which are important for the priorities. My instruction is definite where you will not move from cult to cult trying to find something that you want to be found and always the next mystical obsession or desire to increase has you cheated by not moving with a definite curriculum. One pointedness and not scattering your force means developing your concentration.
The Path is a glorious one with many adventures as you take the right steps towards your spiritual awakenings. Yet, in the following I will not give examples so you can meditate on your particulars. Using myself as an example might on the surface seem consistent with such a thesis but it is also good to permit the student to come to their own conclusions without the twists and turns that come about as you a novice enter the world for the first time to a forest that previously seen from the perspective of others doing your thinking for you the forest is seen through the truth of your True Self. In addition, examples from me whose complexes released are not going to be your complexes released so I will observe caution with this issue of examples.
For example, if I tried to view humanity through the eyes of a revolting Professor of Neurology with his endless published papers on neurosis I might falsely come to the conclusion that everyone in the human race is one step from the padded cell and two more steps from the medicine cabinet for medications. Or if I gave the example of the goody, goody, Professor of Immunology to an Darwinist who would scientifically object to vaccines I am swaying them one way as a poor example for the will of the Darwinist. What is good for the moose is bad for the caboose, as the old saw goes. It is vital that you learn to think for yourself and not permit philosophers or ideology or common law make you into mush. Sweep them all to the side and look within to develop your own school of thought. Control your universe.
Whether you are a sophomore at a university attempting to create your own crowd rather than join a crowd to associate with those who would be inspiring to your will or any social activity it is wise to pick and associate carefully. It is your will, it is your life and why waste time with those who are taking directions that are inconsistent with your will?
Whether you work as a plumber where you stink like a sewer or worse; where you might of found yourself by some circumstance a lawyer where lying and rationalizations are normal activity; or work in an office where you obey the advice of an AI, or even work in a fast food restaurant in New Jersey - or worse; Sante Fe, New Mexico; the principles of True Self and True Will hold sway where you rule your way like a mighty conquerer with the pride of being a human being fully functioning with all your faculties. You have the right to be what you are and you must leave alone “the manyhood bound & loathing” to concentrate on your course and purpose in life. Such a stand of strength might very well mean that you’ll have to make other arrangements. Better this to be swayed by someone who has dared to attempt to make you or mold you or own you.
People will always sway you toward their way of life that are out of touch with your aspirations. Certain people will drag you down to some habit that might alter your life to the point of ordeal or issue. Why bother with them? Some of them are going to get you in trouble and it would a breach of logic to permit them association. If you are trying to seek adventures in life to experience which of those will actually recoil on you? What is right for you may make you seem like a snob or even ultra conservative to the casual observer. Of course, the casual observer is actually seeing nothing in you but his own projections. Make your decisions firmly and avoid anything that is inconsistent with your aspirations to unfold. Who is the casual observer of your life to tell you how to live your life? If anything, such a person should mind his own business and let you move forth on your path.
This vital lesson where you are the center of your circle begins an unfolding where you find the nature and powers of your being. The next step is to inquire within where you have clarity of your True Self. From a very real recognition of your True Self you see what your True Will is and as a star upon your course you fulfill the destiny of what you are.
Harmony and proportion I have emphasized as equation but that is Me and your method to awaken your primal powers or nature might include lust or the type of person you prefer to love. It is up to you and not others. Most certainly, some are simply not going to be right for you. Nor should you permit anyone to push their type of love nor lust upon you. You cannot be shy to tell someone that you desire that you desire nor permit someone who is repulsive to your harmony and proportion to sway you. Let in those who are consistent with your nature in your life and keep those who aren’t out. Very simple. You need not let them rewrite the human language based on their herd mentality and lack of tolerance. Simply do not associate with them and associate with those consistent with your parameters and adventures. Who are they to chart your course or tell you how to live? Mind your own business and let them mind whatever they do giving them the usual farewells that they do not meet your high standards of True Will. Liber Tzaddi explains it more concisely than the Emerald Tablet although “as above, so below” is a meditation that can take many variations. Both are glorious documents yet you must take those steps in DUTY where number one is the universe, number two is the nature and powers, number three is harmony and proportion, number four is contemplation of nature, number five is the formula and the True Will. Clearly, trying to take anything but the proper steps will not gain you the fulfillment where DUTY, parts C and D involve the universal life and law where ignoring the preliminaries the initiation does not occur. Consider this a very severe warning.
Contemplating your nature should be an important meditation for you to understand yourself to know what steps to take. If you know what you really are on deeper levels you know what to do.
As the center of your circle you know what parts of your microcosm you need to gain control of. It is important to know that you will have to break this down in the simplest form where the True Will has absolute clarity. In this step of the meditation you actually find the formula or equation that fits you. Learn to use this formula.
If you have gotten this far in the meditation you will then understand what it is to claim domination of your universe. Concentrated learning experience is consistent with infinite possibility. Hadit Unto Nuit.
Now, you are ready to develop your metaphysics and you are under the shadow of the wings.
Love is the law, love under will
After looking over the above essay I decided to create a few afterthoughts purely to clarify manifestations into the physical. The following I do realize might seem controversial to the Professors of metaphysics at Harvard but I really must insist that teaching metaphysics rather than teaching you how to develop your own metaphysics simply hasn’t occurred in the stuffy classrooms of mere intellectuals who cannot use anything they teach for any improvements with regards to a more civilized world. You release these students into the world after teaching them ancient metaphysics and they do what with their lives? Why nothing, they have no more useful than when they came in as Freshman and end up with any number of obsessions to rationalize their confused intellects. Four years working on a published paper of some PHD who when you study it amounts to mental masturbation. In addition, how do they fit into society where they bring any civilizing effect toward social awareness? They go nowhere where no lessons of life exist but endless, empty debate. So lets go over a few things that might assist even the naive mentality of the Professors to overcome his delusional perception of real metaphysics.
