“Those you consider your closest friends will not only be angry but will betray you when you start doing what is best for you.”

“What Crowley's writing, what he was getting, what he was pointing to, is that the entire reason you are here is to do what, wathever you wanna call it, god, the divine mind, whatever, put you here to do. That's what he meant when he said "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law", it means if you do what you are here to do, everything else is going to fall into place, but before you know what your will is a lot of times, you have to go through the awakening process, you know, what they call enlightenment in the east, or crossing the abyss in the west. Well, whenever you go trough this process, suddenly everything that is not you, everything that is ego, starts to fall away, and you start to see what you truly are, and what you really truly are not. Now when that happens, it will cause profound changes in your life, because ninety nine percent of what we do in our lives is ego driven, and by ego i don´t mean when you think about people that are full of themselves, that's not what it means. Ego is anything within your psyche, anything within your consciousness that creates the illusion that you are separate from other people, from god, from the universe, from anything. Any sense of separation that you have is ego. Well, what happens whenever you transcend that, whenever that starts to disintegrate, whenever you start to see through the illusion of ego, you start to see what you're here for, and your first clue to what you're here for, for what your will is, is what really makes you happy, what is it that when you do you lose yourself in it, you get so immersed in it, that you don't thing about anything else, that's what your will is. Well, when you start to reach that point you start to look around you and realize the mess you've made of your life. It could be something as profound as, like, the example that i give as i've seen people that say whenever they go trough this process they realize they were born on the wrong sex, like "Suddenly i'm awake and i realize i don't want to be a man, i want to have the expierence of being a woman, that's what i'm here for", well, if you suppress that and you say that would upend my entire life, and you start pressing that down, then it's going to create psychic tension, force and pressure that is going to manifest in all sources of ways(Duncan answers: "Disease") it´s going to make you even more miserable in life… Yes! It could be anything from cancer to just all of your relationships to disintegrate, you lose your job, whatever it is because you are basically fighting againts god.”

“Of all the people you will meet, very few will stay with you and leave something good in your heart to remember along the way.”

“People, for some reason when they think about spiritual practices, spirituality, they think that we're here to be one with god or, you know, unity with all that exists, all this kind of stuff, and they think that's the only thing we're supposed to be aiming for. If that were the only thing we were supposed to be doing we would have never been born because we were all that before we came here. We came here for a very specific purpose. In buddhism they call that purpose your dharma, in magick we call it your will, and this is what Crowley was talking about anytime he wrote about your will. Your will is your dharma, so the universe is not going to waste energy creating cookie cutter duplicate people, everybody is here for a specific reason, a specific purpose, now, your will may overlap with other people's, it may have things in common with other people, but there is still something, there is a very specific unique experience that you are here to have. Most people don't realize even what that expierence is, that's what leads to unhappiness in life, you know, people who just have this vague sense of discontent or angst, when they are like "i just know that this isn't what i want". When you discover what your will is, that disappears.”
