  3. “The Tendencies of thy Mind lie deeper far than any Thought, for they are the Conditions and the Laws of Thought; and it is these that thou must bring to Nought.”
  4. “these Passions in ourselves which we understand to be Hindrances are not part of our True Will, but diseased Appetites, manifest in us through false early Training.”
  5. “Each of us, as he grows, learns Repression of himself and his true Will. “It is a lie, this folly against self”: these Words are written in The Book of the Law.”
