What part of love everything with all that you are is a part of thelema? Crowley seemed anti the Christian way of life. I mean love and hate are irrelevant to spiritual progress as far as I see.
In my buddhist way of looking at things love for the things of this samsara world is what keeps us here. We choose to try again to achieve what we're attached to.
"I was hoping someone would at least say love is the whole of the law in response to this comment!!!!

I didn't want to but in,
But I will say that I personally think your statement that love and hate have no relevance to spiritual practice is dead wrong.I was going to say
Love is the Law.
It says so right there.
Btw it doesn't say Love is the Whole of the Law. Subtle difference, but an important one to me...
But I wasn't going to butt into this convo, until this morning after I had had night to let my emotions quell. -
Emotions what are they?
I think that love and hate are different to what the average person experiences. Love causes me to form attachments. This bonds get in the way of my mind trying to concentrate during ritual and often need to be alleviated before a person can pass in through the void. So unless you're hoping to become a left hand rather instead of a babe of the abyss better get ready to alleviate your attachments.
But there is a kind of spiritual love that can exist without causing attachment simply joy.
On the other hand attachments that I've had which have caused me pain have cause such a shift in emotions that i was able to reach an altered state and commune with a deep side of myself which i didn't realise I could. Becuase of the caring nature of this spirit and the fact that it appeared as an "attractive" version of myself, I still wonder if it could have been my HGA.
