  1. “Every one should discover, by experience of every kind, the extent and intention of his own sexual Universe. He must be taught that all roads are equally royal, and that the only question for him is ‘Which road is mine?’ All details are equally likely to be of the essence of his personal plan, all equally ‘right’ in themselves, his own choice of the one as correct as, and independent of, his neighbour’s preference for the other. He must not be ashamed or afraid of being homosexual if he happens to be so at heart; he must not attempt to violate his own true nature because public opinion, or mediaeval morality, or religious prejudice would wish he were otherwise.” library.hrmtc.com/2026/03/26/e #afraid #aleisterCrowley #all #allRoads #ashamed #atHeart #attempt #beingHomosexual #book #book220 #choice #correct #details #discover #equallyLikely #equallyRight #equallyRoyal #essence #everyKind #everyOne #experience #extent #happens #inThemselves #independent #intention #liberCCXX #liberLegis #mediaevalMorality #mine #must #mustNot #NewComment #onlyQuestion #other #otherwise #ownSexualUniverse #personalPlan #preference #publicOpinion #quote #religiousPrejudice #should #taught #TheBookOfTheLaw #trueNature #violate #whichRoad #wish

  4. “It has naturally been objected by economists that our Law, in declaring every man and every woman to be a star, reduces society to its elements, and makes hierarchy or even democracy impossible. The view is superficial. Each star has a function in its galaxy proper to its own nature. Much mischief has come from our ignorance in insisting, on the contrary, that each citizen is fit for any and every social duty. But also our Law teaches that a star often veils itself from its nature. Thus the vast bulk of humanity is obsessed by an abject fear of freedom; the principal objections hitherto urged against my Law have been those of people who cannot bear to imagine the horrors which would result if they were free to do their own wills.” library.hrmtc.com/2026/01/29/i #aStar #abjectFear #aleisterCrowley #anyAndEvery #book #book220 #cannotBear #declaring #democracy #doTheirOwnWills #eachCitizen #eachStar #economists #elements #everyMan #everyWoman #fit #free #Freedom #function #galaxy #hierarchy #horrors #humanity #ignorance #imagine #impossible #insisting #itsNature #itsOwnNature #Law #liberCCXX #liberLegis #makes #muchMischief #naturally #NewComment #objected #obsessed #onTheContrary #ourLaw #people #principalObjectionsMyLaw #proper #quote #reducesSociety #result #socialDuty #Star #superficial #teaches #TheBookOfTheLaw #vastBulk #veilsItself #view
  5. “In other words, life is an attempt to realize one’s own nature in one’s own soul. The man who fails to recognize it as such is hopelessly bewildered by the irrational character of the universe, which he takes to be real; and he cannot but regard it as aimless and absurd. The adventures of his body and mind, with their desires for material and moral well-being, are obviously as foredoomed to disaster as Don Quixote’s. He must be a fool if he struggles on (against inexorable fate) to obtain results which he knows can only end in catastrophe, a climax the more bitter as he clings the more closely to his impossible ideals.”

  7. “There is no ‘reason’ why a Star should continue in its orbit. Let her rip! Every time the conscious acts, it interferes with the Subconscious, which is Hadit. It is the voice of Man, and not of a God. Any man who ‘listens to reason’ ceases to be a revolutionary. … It is ridiculous to ask a dog why it barks. One must fulfil one’s true Nature, one must do one’s Will. To question this is to destroy confidence, and so to create an inhibition. … We are not to calculate, to argue, to criticise; these things lead to division of will and to stagnation. They are shackles of our Going. They hamstring our Pegasus. We are to rise up – to Go – to Love – we are to be awake, alert”

  8. “I exhort men to cease to hide themselves in the refuges which they have constructed in themselves from fear of facing reality. I bid them take cognizance of the existence of their fellow individuals to realize the infinite possibilities of experience open to them & to satisfy their sense that they are incomplete by uniting themselves with all other beings.”

  9. “Wisdom says: be strong! Then canst thou bear more joy. Be not animal, refine thy rapture! If thou drink, drink by the eight and ninety rules of art; if thou love, exceed by delicacy; and if thou do aught joyous, let there be subtlety therein! But exceed! exceed!”

  10. “The Formula of the New Aeon recognizes Horus, the Child crowned and conquering, as God. We are all members of the Body of God, the Sun; and about our System is the Ocean of Space. This formula is then to be based upon these facts. Our ‘Evil’, ‘Error’, ‘Darkness’, ‘Illusion’, whatever one chooses to call it, is simply a phenomenon of accidental and temporary separateness. If you are ‘walking in darkness’, do not try to make the sun rise by self-sacrifice, but wait in confidence for the dawn, and enjoy the pleasures of the night meanwhile.”

  11. “Now a curse upon Because and his kin! May Because be accursed for ever! If Will stops and cries Why, invoking Because, then Will stops & does nought. If Power asks why, then is Power weakness. Also reason is a lie; for there is a factor infinite & unknown; & all their words are skew-wise. Enough of Because! Be he damned for a dog! But ye, o my people, rise up & awake!”

  12. “The sense of sin, shame, self-distrust, this is what makes folk cling to Christianity-slavery. People believe in a medicine just in so far as it is nasty; the metaphysical root of this idea is in sexual degeneracy of the masochistic type. Now ‘the Law is for all’; but such defectives will refuse it, and serve us who are free with a fidelity the more dog-like as the simplicity of our freedom denotes their abjection.”
