“Give me your hand, a human hand, so that you can hold me to the earth with it, for whirling veins of fire swoop me up, and exultant longing tears me toward the zenith.”

“The correct way is to surrender yourself to “receiving”: let the text you read, the person you communicate with, the event in your life, make a change inside you. It is important to perceive every event in your life as a symbol that speaks about yourself and your consciousness. Everything you experience you have created yourself, the unawareness of this creation is only the consequence of the limited focus of consciousness.”

“Thelema is a religion of joy and beauty. Humor is our armor and laughter our weapon. No longer do we look upon solemnity and selfeffacement as synonymous with spirituality. Thelema is a law of Liberty that holds the keys to unlock the innate potential of every individual, to release ourselves from the burden of sorrow and fear, and to allow ourselves to be ourselves and rejoice therein. As it says in The Book of the Law, “Remember all ye that existence is pure joy.” With this knowledge, we can consciously and willfully engage in that ultimate Sacrament we know as existence. I therefore say with Crowley, “Look, brother, we are free! Rejoice with me, sister, there is no law beyond Do what thou wilt!”

“The world is the schoolroom of God. Our being in school does not make us learn, but within that school is the opportunity for all learning. It has its grades and its classes, its sciences and its arts, and admission to it is the birthright of man. Its graduates are its teachers, its pupils are all created things. Its examples are Mature, and its rules are God's laws. Those who would go into the greater colleges and universities must first, day by day, and year by year, work through the common school of life and present to their new teachers the diplomas they have won, upon which is written the name that none may read save those who have received it. The hours may be long, and the teachers cruel, but each of us must walk that path, and the only ones ready to go onward are those who have passed through the gateway of experience.”

“The stronger the person, the less identified with a collective, be it a nation, religion or family. The weaker the person, the easier is the acceptance of collective “truths” and of finding the meaning of life in obedience.
Development of integrity means transcending boundaries of what we considered our identity; every personal determinant that restricts potential limitlessness of our actions, must be transcended.”
