α Apologia from the Book of Wisdom or Folly in The Libri of Aleister Crowley

“he must master thoroughly every Detail of the Great Work, so that he may in due Season accomplish it not only for himself, but for all who are bound unto him” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “It is not every Man who is called to the sublime Task of the AA”
  2. “thou must first comprehend thine original Nature in every Point, before thou wast forced to bow before the Gods of Wood and Stone that Men have made, not comprehending the Law of Change, and of Evolution Through Variation, and the independent Value of every living Soul.”
  3. “for each Man is a Path: there is a Constant, and there is a Variable”
  4. “Seek ever therefore in thy Work of the Promulgation of the Law to discover in each Man his own true Nature.”
  5. “do thou give ear unto my Wisdom, for that therein lieth a simple and direct Way for every Man that he may attain to the End”
