It Is The Mark Of The Mind

To Train The Mind To Move With The Maximum Speed And Energy, With The Utmost Possible Accuracy In The Chosen Direction, And With The Minimum Of Disturbance Or Friction. That Is Magick. To Stop The Mind Altogether. That Is Yoga.

By The Power Of Truth, I, While Living, Have Conquered The Universe.

The Greatest, Like Rembrandt, Paint A Gallant, A Hag, And A Carcass With Equal Passion And Rapture; They Love The Truth As It Is. They Do Not Admit That Anything Can Be Ugly Or Evil; Its Existence Justifies Itself. This Is Because They Know Themselves To Be Part Of An Harmonious Unity; To Disdain Any Item Of It Would Be To Blaspheme The Whole. The Thelemite Is Able To Revel In Any Experience Soever; In Each He Recognizes The Tokens Of Ultimate Truth. It Is Surely Obvious, Even Intellectually, That All Phenomena Are Interdependent, And Therefore Involve Each Other.

Men And Women Are Not Free To Love Decently Until They Have Analyzed Themselves Completely And Swept Away Every Mystery From Sex; And This Means The Acquisition Of A Profound Philosophical Theory Based On Wide Reading Of Anthropology And Enlightened Practice.

This Formula Of Love Is Universal; All The Laws Of Nature Are Its Servitors. Thus, Gravitation, Chemical Affinity, Electrical Potential, And The Rest - And These Are Alike Mere Aspects Of The General Law - Are So Many Differently-observed Statements Of The Unique Tendency.
