yeah, aleister crowley has in the past got my spidey sense tingling!

i have heard him quoted, "do what thou wilt." i balked at this, not having at that time heard the rejoinder, "love is the law. love under will."

free will seems like the capstone of a pyramid, being the primary law of experience. as the capstone needs the body of the pyramid to stand, so it seems free will stands with the supporting superstructure of love - applied to and augmenting free will and one's experiencing.

if love is the organizing principle of the coherent universe, the concept of free will seems that which allows the universe to focalize into points of awareness (individuated consciousness). perhaps an individual's experience is impossible without the combining of love and free will - and the development of wisdom, which intermediates between them. as one learns the lessons of free will linked with concern for others, the only possible eventual outcome may be the realization of the oneness of the entire coherent universe, with free will being the driving engine of the process - fueled by love and maintained by wisdom.

just a thought... mark
