“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.” Damien Echols (1974) Fuente: The Duncan Trussell Family Hour Podcast #314 with Damien Echols.
