Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of the Law

The Thelemic law of Aleister Crowley himself. It is one's own true will.
It is instinct. Go with your initial instincts even if one's own judgment appears to be negative. Dissect it, be just, and silently turn away.

Love increases as judgement decreases. Sometimes the simplest of rules are the hardest to follow. "Judge not and ye shall not be judged." Why? One very good reason is that criticism in any negative form weakens you. The world is founded on love, so naturally its opposite will alienate a person as well as restrict one's energy. This occurs when you criticize others as well as when you criticize yourself. Your body is connected with all things and can feel the criticism as it comes in and as it goes out. Try it yourself. Feel the difference? The idea here is to appreciate and praise more. You then, because of the third principle, will attract more love into your life and, because of this principle, you will maintain health and strength.



I wanted to touch base on these concepts because I been focusing on this a lot lately. THe perception has been brought up in my mind from interelating with people and listening to what they say about others and themselves.

I have been well aware of the fact that when you judge someone you judge yourself. So, whenever I criticize someone I think about what That means to me and how I see myself.

I had an experience lately with someone. THey are a self proclaimed messiah... and they often judge others a lot negatively... but they are very narcissistic. (Do not drink their kool aid). I been reflecting and wondering how that person is a perception of myself. I was largely disturbed for days because of this.

I know that we should never focus on how not to be... because that's directing your focus into how you are actually going to be. The universe knows no difference... so we must always focus on positive things and how we want to be and how we want to see others.

Negative energy is necessary and inevitable in our reality though.

This is why I have been in a process of developing a scientific inquisitive mind so to speak. I am always dismantling my own thoughts and those of others... especially those that are negative. This negative process is a growth form... in that never ending spiral configuration.

This following passage is very beautiful and quite synonymous with some of the concepts I have read in the book called the Spell of the sensuous;

Everything is alive, aware and responsive. Yes, everything. Perhaps we don't notice the movement of a rock or hear the voices of trees and plants, but they have levels of awareness as do we humans. If we see everything as energy and connected, this corollary can "come to life." In my shamanic workshops I help people communicate with the elements, as they not only have much to tell us, but can help facilitate healing as well.

Many cultures find sacred the plants, animals, power spots, wind, and other elements of their respective areas. When you can work with Nature instead of seeing it as separate, a whole new awareness of life and love can unfold. Take a few moments today or tomorrow and talk with a tree, or listen to the wind, or notice any animals that appear during the day. You may be surprised at what you will learn.

(sorry for lack of source)

This is why I would spend so much time in the trails and the woods. Sit quietly and listen to what they say and you'd be truly amazed of the epiphanies that would flood in once you open up.
