The Gospel of Thelema?

Yeah, I have to agree with Patrick: Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The news doesn't get any better than that!

Yeah I can agree with that. Guess I'm going off what stuck out to me initially. I really didn't understand what "do what thou wilt" meant; it actually made be hesitant to take it seriously because I thought it was advocating an unprincipled life of doing whatever you want. I understand now though, funny that didn't occur to me.

See the A.'.A.'. Class E document, "The Law of Liberty" (Liber 837) in Equinox No. 11. It actually addresses this phrase in the language and spirit of "gospel" or "good news."

Agreed. My first instant thought was that phrase.

Oh, but it does mean doing whatever you want (to hell with all principles!), as long as that "want" is in alignment with one's will.

"AHA! So there is a principle after all."
