ToggleHadit
âI am still one-pointed, at least in the lower sense that I have no desire or ambition but this of accomplishing the Great Work.â –Frater O.M.
The highest virtues are one-pointed. That is, they are instantiated by recognizing the numerical unity of that to which the particular virtue refers: Being, Mystical Union, Freedom, WillâŚ.
In The Book of the Law, Hadit says, âIn the sphere I am everywhere the centreâŚâ (II:3).
Being
We all partake of unitary Being, the bare I AM in Kether-1 above the Abyss. I AM is a point. There is no âmy I AMâ or âyour I AMâ.
âI am alone: there is no God where I amâ (AL, II:23).
I AM crystalizes out of the Void. âFor I am perfect, being NotâŚâ (AL, II:15).
Mystical Union
The mystic attainment may be defined as the Union of the Soul with GodâŚ. and the real strength of every religion is consequently in its mystics. ⌠Now the extreme state of Being, Knowledge, and Bliss which characterizes the intermediate stages of mystic experience, is a thousandfold more intense than any other kind of happiness. ⌠It is therefore unnecessary to fret over social problems and the rest of it; the root of the cause is duality, the antithesis of the Ego and the Non-Ego; and the cure is Realization of the Unity. ⌠The whole secret of ‘Yoga’ is given in Matthew VI, 22. âThe light of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.â This is a perfectly simple statement of the virtue of what the Hindus call âEkagrataâ, âone-pointednessâ.âÂ

Freedom
The Law of Thelema embraces Freedom one-pointedly. Its prohibits exactly one thing, Restriction: âThe word of Sin is Restrictionâ (AL, I:41).
Accordingly, the only way to embrace Thelemic Freedom is to make way for it in everyone. Do not succumb to narrow thinking that reasons that the supposed means for securing your freedom require that someone else be restricted.
âIf we abrogate another’s freedom to gain our own ends, our own freedom is thereby jeopardized.â âJohn Whiteside Parsons, âFreedom is a Two-Edged Swordâ
Will
The Will in Chokmah-2 is a Universal Force. It moves through everything and everyone.
Each individualâs True Will points back through the incarnation toward this One Will. Simply put, it is how the One Will is to be done through the incarnation.
âThe concept of being a Thelemite is based on the Greek word θÎΝΡΟι or Thelema. This implies a person who is pursuing their True Will. In other words, this person admits that their Soul had picked its incarnations in order to gain a certain âexperienceâ at which time after puberty it was believed, to use more modern jargon, that the Soul would be given the free choice to âDo what thou wilt.â Still, the Greeks understood that there was no guarantee that our Soul would fulfill its desired incarnation because âDo what thou wiltâ is a double-edged sword. On the one hand it implies that weâre given the license to pursue our Earthly experience as we choose. However, the danger in this assumption as finality is that our mercurial Soul, having passed the River of Forgetfulness in order to incarnate, could now easily focus all its attention toward Earthly âdo what thou wantsâ which could unconsciously steer it away from the real reason as to why it incarnated.â âJ. Edward Cornelius, âOn Thelomitesâ
Love is the law, love under will. —AL, I:57
