When the fire of the Law begins to awaken within the soul of a Thelemite there arises a conflict between him/her and the society in which he/she lives. This conflict is entirely due to the inability of the slave society to comprehend and explain the behavior of their fellow man/woman who is beginning to brake free.
We Thelemites do not despise profane men as long as they preserve their sanity honesty and nobility, we believe that 'every man and every woman is a star' (Liber AL I verse 3) and the Holy Task of our secret societies is to make every man and every woman to awaken this perception in their beings. Our Love for humanity is so strong that we undergo great pains and many centuries of struggle to bring them to the light, and true humans discovering and understanding us greatly appreciate our efforts. Yet we are against the people, we are against the mass herd mentality who prefer to remain on animal level, we uplift humanity by uplifting individuals.
As it should be, we are always opposed by jealous slave lords who are afraid that their flocks are going to disintegrate. Cursed priests, governments, doctors, large co operations, factories that produce trash food for dogs with preservatives, lawyers that manipulate the law as if it was a tool for their personal gain and many other parasites have green light to destroy the earth and are persecuting and harassing us in fear that we will destroy them. Even our very neighbors are suspicious of us. The slave lords brainwash their flock into thinking that we are planning some global conspiracy to over throw the whole of the earth. This is a lie, for they know better then any one else their true place of slaves.
We do not blame a civil servant who joins the governmental organization with honest intentions, for if he be really honest he will realize the cheat and leave his carrier, and, should he find us, he shall join us without hesitation.
Yet the reader must not be mistaken, we are not dreaming of establishing some Utopian society on earth, some Judea-Christist paradise, we are not making empty promises of bright future as did the communists. Our aim is much more complex for slaves to understand.
Our aim is to follow the natural evolution of our species, to make humanity survive in the eternal war for existence, to make humanity fit for the ordeal of racial initiation, and not make them soft perishable dreamers of world peace.
I end this essay with a passage from the writings of Adam Weishaupt, the Founder of the Order of Illuminati:
"And what is this general object? The happiness of the human race. But where are the proper persons, the good, the generous and the accomplished to be found? And how, and by what strong motives, are they to be induced to be engaged, in a task so vast, so incessant, so difficult and so laborious? This association must be gradual. There are some such persons to be found in every society. Such noble minds will be engaged by the heart warming object. The first task of the association must therefore be to form the young members. As these multiply and advance, they become the apostles of beneficence, and the work is now on foot, and advances with a speed increasing every day. The slightest observation shows that nothing will so much contribute to increase the zeal of the members as secret union. We see with what keenness and zeal the frivolous business of Freemasons is conducted, by persons knit together by the secrecy of their union. Let this circumstance of our constitution therefore be directed to this noble purpose, and then all the objections urged against it by jealous tyranny and affrighted superstition will vanish. The order will thus work silently, and securely, and though the generous benefactors of the human race are thus deprived of the applause of the world, they have the noble pleasure of seeing their work prosper."

I have a natural interest in ancient cultures and peoples, especially in their magic and spiritual believes.
One day I was reading on the subject of animism. Animism is a belief that every object, be it a tree, a stone or wind possesses a soul, its own spirit.
Animism is an origin of legends about men understanding the language of beasts and trees.
Animism is so old that it even predates polytheism, and when aligned to our Law unites us with nature.
Historians and anthropologists explain this believe as a myth which arose as a result of ignorance of the primitive people. Well, isn't this how they describe all magick, primitive or otherwise?
If you walk in the park, forest or a garden, try talking and saluting trees, bushes, earth etc... touch them, ask them how they feel, make them a compliment and bid them farewell. You will discover that they are indeed alive and answering you in a strange and beautiful tongue. They actually talk to you and calm down your soul. However, their tongue is so subtle that you cannot translate it into crude human speech. Can anyone translate the language of love?
The seemingly lifeless objects do have a spirit in them. Cave magicians at the dawn of humanity were right. You have only to attune yourself, to listen carefully, to feel them. The majority of people today would never hear those 'voices' no matter how hard they try for they "feel not". They will never see with their veiled eyes the little elves that are hiding in the grass, nor ever hear with their improperly cleaned ears the music of invisible bells that ring every sunrise echoing in the heart of a careful listener.
Animism is a good tool to be discovered by each of us which will give us inspiration and energy on our path. Through animism we can become more sensitive and even know the personality of a person just by looking at him.

Pure aspiration and discipline are the keys to initiation. The will toward the unknown which is so predominant in the mystical type nature is a first magickal sign that a person has truly and honestly aspired on the path of the Great Work. However, that person has to undergo through ordeal of self discipline to prove his or her worthiness, that is, the purity and strength of his will towards the mysteries of magick and mysticism.
Certainly, it is a great step forward for an individual Star to aspire to the path with intense energy and readiness, but unless the aspirant dares to act he remains on the same level from which he has aspired and does not move forward eventually falling back into a common life. There are many of these people who talk endless hours about strange phenomena, about occult abilities etc... and sink ever deeper into the whirlpool of deception and empty words. The strict method of magickal training in the A.·.A.·. is also a remedy for this kind of mental disorder but many being unable to discipline themselves quite without any will towards the path they themselves have aspired, and this is one of the tests for the Probationers of A.·.A.·.
Aspiration is the Spirit and discipline is the Letter of the mystical soul. By balancing of those two is a sure way to Initiation. From a certain angle, discipline only seems hard at the beginning. But let the Aspirant begin nonetheless! Soon enough he will invoke the powers in his being which will aid him in the ordeal of magickal discipline, set his feet firmly upon the royal path and bear him on the swift wings of glory towards Initiation!
With gradual progress the Aspirant becomes more sensitive to the subtle energies that surround us in every day life. He feels that if he does not exercise will and learn how to control them he will be controlled by these energies. To the profane who is not sensitive at all to the subtle planes those energies matter very little, however to an Initiate it is disastrous to neglect his discipline, purity in thought and deed. What is seemingly harmless to the profane can be a deadly poison to an Initiate. A single break in the circle, a single idle thought or deed has direct effects on the magician. To obtain absolute control and dominion over one's own being and universe is therefore vital for a magician whose will is to live a Higher disciplined and Holy Life of an Initiate.
For instance, by learning how to control our mental powers, will make us concentrate on our priorities and make our mind an instrument of will. By learning to control Astral Plane we learn how to manipulate subtle energies that influence various objects of nature. By controlling our physical bodies and appetites, as well as doing physical exercises we become more resistant to stress which is so widespread in modern world and is a common cause of nervous brake downs.
It is written that in order to be a Human, that is a fully functioning Microcosm one must be at least an Adeptus Minor. This becomes evident as one progresses along Initiation. Our spiritual development is analogous to physical development of children learning how to walk, mastering a language and obtaining control over our physical bodies.
Majority of people live their lives on purely base instincts, those of course cannot be called humans at all but simple homo sapiens seeking to satisfy their hunger and sex appetites. An Initiate on the other hand is seeking evolution and perfection via refining his feelings and becoming aware of his faculties over which he strives to obtain perfect control, in other words, he strives to become a True Human.
By Aspiration and discipline we progress and learn how to efficiently execute our will in the universe and come to the consciousness of our True Identity.
