CONCERNING
THE LAW OF LIBERTY
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Imagine a world where all are taught full responsibility for
themselves. No opportunities are witheld; perfect freedom of
personal expression is given. All moral and ethical codes of
conduct are up to the individual. The only role of society is to
enable this freedom of the self through teaching self-respect and
recognizing the worth and value of every individual by not
adopting moral values or religious ethics which infringe on the
right of every individual to express themselves according to
their own unique natures. The sole responsibility for every
individual is to be themselves and enjoy a life in a land of
individual freedom and responsibility.
Let us further consider this land of freedom, where the
government exists solely to serve the people, to assist them to
participate in their society because they are taught that they
make a difference, that the greatest contribution that every man
and every woman has to make is their own individual and unique
expression. The people are ruled only by a Law of Liberty, a
perfect Law which upholds the rights of every individual,
inflicting judgement on no one except those who obstruct others
from expressing their own right of self-expression.
In this land of liberty all men and women are released from the
iron grips of religious dogma, from the crutches and clutches of
man-made morals and laws, and all are allowed to create or adopt
their own morals and laws according to their own unique natures.
Allowed to shine, as individual stars, every man and every woman
is set into motion by their own unique and individual Wills; they
are allowed, in the spirit of freedom, to find and pursue their
own orbits or paths in life, and like heavenly bodies maintain
harmony and balance with all other individuals rotating around
the Great Central Sun.
What person is better to decide what is right or wrong for you
than yourself? Who knows what your motivations, your needs and
desires are, better than yourself? Thus the True Law for every
man and every woman should consist of a perfect code of freedom,
of allowing them to find their own paths and pursue them. The
aim of any society should be to instruct individuals of their own
worth and value, and to furnish them with the necessary tools to
use to express their own personal talents so that they may
experience joy, and health, and wealth, and wisdom according to
the unique formulae of their own true natures.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the
law, love under will. What better Law can there be than this for
a free society of men and women? But can this perfect Law work
in our society, a society which is supposedly based on the grand
principle of freedom. If the Law of Thelema was the law of the
land today, I think that the major offenders of society would not
be gangs, drug users, rapists and other recognized criminal
offenders. Instead, it would be the fundamentalists, the Oliver
Norths of our government, those who persist in an abominable
endeavor to rule others with their own limited perceptions of
right and wrong, who judge and punish and even declare war on
those who disagree with their limited notions.
Happy people are individuals with high self-esteem, who know what
they want out of life, who know that they answer to no one but
themselves, free of guilt and shame, and who are devoted to
nothing else but the fulfillment of their Will. Critics of the
Law of Thelema, that is,"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of
the Law," seldom quote the second part of this Law of Liberty,
that is, "Love is the law, love under will." This is most dire,
for Love is the key to finding one's true connection with oneself
and the world. Will based on love does not consist of blind
attachments to selfish gratifications! On the contrary, Will
based on Love is a spiritual principle, a principle of loving
yourself and others in perfect freedom and joy. Do What Thou
Wilt also means not to attempt to tell another what their Will
is, most importantly to respect every individual's right to
decide what is right for them.
The Law of Thelema, that is, Do What Thou Wilt, is the Law of
Liberty. It is a simple code of conduct which allows for every
man and every woman to be the god that they are, to flame forth
as mighty stars on their own unique and essential orbits, without
conflict in any form, for the fulfillment of their own universal
destinies. By the application of the Law of Thelema to our lives
we have the right to live by our own laws and to live in the way
that we will to do. In Thelemic religion, we are no more the
weak slaves of a false sheep god and his false commandments; we
now realize that we are true gods in essence, that we have no god
to answer to but to the god that we are, and that we must be
responsible for ourselves, adopting those laws and morals which
are only necessary and suitable to our own growth and evolution,
based on the sublime knowledge of our own true natures. It is
time to free oursleves from slavery, to know and to accept who we
really are, and to act on that perfect knowledge alone. A land
that is governed by the Law of Thelema is a land of perfect
liberty, a veritable paradise of gods who realize and do their
True Wills, without conflict in any form, being free from the
false notions and laws of the Old Aeon of Osiris. The New Golden
Dawn of Liberty has come! Freedom is now the One Law of Life;
every man and every woman must now be free, in the Spirit of the
Times, to realize themselves and to create or adopt their own
laws, as they see fit for themselves. For as the Book of the Law
says, "Every man and every woman is a star." Let us all
therefore arise in the Light of the New Golden Dawn; and let us
rejoice with infinite delight in the New Law of Liberty which is
Do What Thou Wilt; and finally let us revel in the marvelous
world of stars where all is Light and Life and Love and Liberty!
Love is the law, love under will.
