<![CDATA[Thelema and Origins]]>I was wondering, does Thelema have any say as to the Origins and purpose of mankind? All religions that I am aware of seem to have teachings on this, and even esoteric currents such as the gnostics have thier ideas about purpose and origins of mankind.

Does Thelema have any "doctrine" as to the esoteric meaning of the book of Genesis?

Thelema per se? Not that I can think of.

Crowley, as a philosopher before and after 1904, had various views on the origin of the universe, but not that I can recall on the specific thing about which you inquired. Ideas can be inferred from essential Thelemic principles, but I don't know of anything in the core Thelemic dogma about it.

No - there isn't any mention of it in Liber Legis etc.
