More About Living Thelema: A Practical Guide to Attainment in Aleister Crowley's System of Magick
But I have burnt within thee as a pure flame without oil. In the midnight I was brighter than the moon; in the daytime I exceeded utterly the sun; in the byways of thy being I flamed, and dispelled the illusion. David Shoemaker, Living Thelema: A Practical Guide to Attainment in Aleister Crowley's System of Magick // The True Will is the will of the deepest inmost Selfthe core of who you really are as a spiritual being. Also, and importantly, it is an expression of the universal will, as particularized and expressed in your individual life. This is why, when we are living in accordance with our True Will, we find that much of the time the universe seems to open up a path right in front of us, as if in sympathy with our aims. David Shoemaker, Living Thelema: A Practical Guide to Attainment in Aleister Crowley's System of Magick //
A good read for the hardcore thelemite, and possibly the beginner as well. Good, basic explanations of thelemic ideas. But a bit boring. And as with many authors who are auspiciously members of the "A.A." (not Alcoholics Anon), a bit on the dogmatic side, and even a little naive. All I can say about this book is: wow. It's like Dr. Shoemaker took a handful of magick and put it in my head, which then exploded and turned into confetti, and there was a musical number involving Freddie Mercury descending from heaven with angel wings singing 'We are the Champions'. If you're wondering, it was a good book. On my favorites... Excellent introduction to the philosophical system of Thelema founded by Aliester Crowley. Shoemaker brings together Crowley's system and illustrates how it parallels multiple religions(the mystics), Jungian psychology, psychotherapy, alchemy, and practical application in a variety of contexts. A must read!
