Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
Herein is a two edged sword; not only razor sharp but with a point that pierces and stabs with sublime and fulsome subtly. Two Thelemites enter a relationship with vivacious zeal and foremost energy only to be knocked with rudeness, the reality of the depth of the abyss that has been encountered.
The male or female Thelemite, entering the first relationships, finds the necessity of self-control with jealousy and clarity of priority very confusing and shocking. The Thelemite who wants to succeed with the relationship; knows that if in theory he can act like it states in the Book of the Law, he will enjoy the greatest freedom and growth and joy possible.
Unfortunately, this is not what will occur in preliminary stages! We are dealing with the pangs of jealousy, the savage primal instincts of territory and worst of all; that horrible equation of insecurity that may very well stem form the early strained relations between parents. Yes. Well, all this must be overcome and silently and maturely brought under the control of the will. You will silently suffer. You may even be tempted to scream aloud the frustration that you are feeling. Persevere. Love under will is your goal and you are dealing with not one, but two minds that may be; for all intents and purposes, out of control. Those first 3 or 4 relationships are the hardest. The point is; you must continue to dive into relationships. Proceed as the Book of the Law tells you to. You love one another with burning hearts. You give yourself under will completely. But! You must be able to come out of the relationship without jealousy, over emotion, or grudge. Show deference for your lovers but do not be shy to discuss problems of the relationship. All relationships will eventually succumb to the inertia of familiarity. And ordinarily this will begin within the first year of the relationship. My suggestion is to be prepared to separate for a while until the energy returns and you will see the curse you create when you try to unite the divided with out love. Again, keep diving into relationships. Eventually, a state of two stars; parallel, upon your path through the universe. You will find Love under will. When you are overjoyed by the sight of your lover you know you have achieved a very high level of Thelemite Relationship. For some this experience never occurs. They live and die not knowing the sheer ecstasy of a Thelemite Relationship.
In closing, I must briefly state that the most tedious and strained of all Thelemite Relations is the Teacher-student, (of A.·. A.·. especially), and it is much harder for the student than the instructor. The student, more often than not, is made to feel like the slave and such relationships are doomed to failure to all but the most honest and sincere.
What more a sickly and diseased a Thelemite Relation when the Instructor "pulls rank" as a lover, Therefore, caution and good will is especially recommended in such situations. I am writing these words after students and friends have pointed out to me that very little has been written as yet on the subject. In this light, may make motion that similar essays on relations between Thelemites be created by lovers as experience inspires.
Love is the law, love under will
