The Law of Thelema regards the particular, the rough, the solitary. Its application is unique for each being in each moment.
Unlike in all other moral codes, nothing is prohibited, nothing forbidden ahead of time. No rules. No generalizations. Nothing. “All events are equally lawful—and every one necessary, in the long run—for all of us, in theory….”*
And yet the Law of Thelema is the strictest one possible. It dictates just one act for each actor in each moment. It requires that a being marry each phenomenon with its Negation through an act of Love. “Love is the law, love under will.” –AL, I:57
“[I]n practice, only one act is lawful for each one of us at any given moment. Therefore Duty consists in determining to experience the right event from one moment of consciousness to another. Each action or motion is an act of love, the uniting with one or another part of ‘Nuit’; each such act must be ‘under will,’ chosen so as to fulfil and not to thwart the true nature of the being concerned.”*
“Nothing is a secret key of this law.” –AL, I:46
No thing. If you think a thing, don’t. Look within only. Love according to your true nature. Give all to Nothing.
“Above us today hangs a danger never yet paralleled in history. We suppress the individual in more and more ways. We think in terms of the herd.”*
“I spit on your crapulous creeds.” –AL, III:54
