And here is why I will never be a Thelemite. “Man has the right to kill those who thwart these rights.” “The slaves shall serve.”
How can you not see the blatant hypocrisy? You have the right to do as you will, but others do not? You have the right to take away the will of others?
I agree with the vast majority of what Thelema says. But when someone defies your will, you don’t take away their right to do as they will. You endure, Perderabo, you endure. And if you truly are the strong, the strength of your will shall overcome any force trying to take it from you.
Take a look from a wider prospective. It doesn’t tell you should kill. Every Thelemite knows that *every right he takes from other is the same right he takes from his self*. It’s the law, it effects you the same way the gravity, EM or like any other natural force do. And I think the hypocrisy is when people don’t have guts to admit that they are able to kill but the truth is that love and conflict goes hand in hand in this duality of malkuth. This is the equilibrium. If any of us find ourselves in life threatening situation I’m sure every healthy individual, the one with a will to live, will fight for his life, for his rights.
Thelema is very provocative and that’s why I love it! It makes me think, it doesn’t serve you the truth. You are the one who is “translating” the message in according to your reality channel and than transmitting it. That’s the beauty of it! Noone tells you what to do, what is your Will, and honestly – noone cares. Everyone’s duty and responsibility is to take care of doing his own Will, be s/he Thelemite or not. You are the one who is embodying the Law in accordance with your true Will. And really, if we were all free individuals, radiating in our orbits this world will be a beautiful place. Imagine that! The problem is that humanity is *slaved* at this moment. Think of your own limitations, fears, screw ups…we are all *slaves* to our own shadows but we can free ourselves by radiating our own light upon them. 😉
Thelema!
I don’t want to drag this out, but this is the same apologist nonsense that has caused so much evil in the world. Those who will take religious texts as an excuse to do horrible things. You may interpret those words one way, but you can see how it would be very easy to use them as an excuse for horrible crimes. This is why I hate holy books. Once you have a holy book, it can always be twisted. No Bible, no Koran, no Book of the Law.
