Ch I, 3 in Liber AL vel Legis, Book of the Law by Aleister Crowley (via nelsonstorm)
See also the New and Old Comment on Ch I, 3 by Aleister Crowley, here in part:
“From this the Law ‘Do what thou wilt’ follows logically. One star influences another by attraction, of course; but these are incidents of self-predestined orbits. There is, however, a mystery of the planets, revolving about a star of whom they are parts; but I shall not discuss it fully in this place.”
“each ‘star’ is the Centre of the Universe to itself, and that a ‘star’ simple, original, absolute, can add to its omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence without ceasing to be itself; that its one way to do this is to gain experience, and that therefore it enters into combinations in which its true Nature is for awhile disguised, even from itself.”
“This theory is the only one which explains ‘why’ the Absolute limited itself, and why It does not recognize Itself during its cycle of incarnations. It disposes of ‘Evil’ and the Origin of Evil; without denying Reality to ‘Evil’, or insulting our daily observation and our common sense.”
